A creative teenager will enjoy thinking up ideas for her own bedroom.
The right decor for your teenager's room is the difference between a place he hates and a place he loves. Use of funky decorations and colors puts the excitement in an otherwise plain room. Give your teenager the gift of creativity by allowing him to choose colors and accessories for the specific theme.
Hanging Around
Use hanging furniture to create a theme for a funky bedroom. Locate all ceiling studs and test for durability before starting your project. Create a hanging platform bed to hover a foot or less over the floor. Hang a porch-type swing, round chairs and even playground-type swings from the ceiling. Use other hanging items for decorations. Include hanging plants and vines and install chandelier-type lighting. Hang pictures or stuffed animals on strings and suspend from the ceiling. Hang a desk on the wall to keep it elevated off the floor. Monkeys are an obvious selection along with birds for finishing touches.
Musical Haven
Use music as the theme to create a funky room for a teenager. Paint base walls white and stencil randomly sized musical notes, treble and bass clefs around the room in black. Use bed covers embossed with musical notes. Cover a large area on a selected wall with CD covers, old album covers or old vinyl records. Use large posters of the teen's favorite musical groups and artists. Place guitars in the corners and hang over doorways. Buy a jukebox and fill it with the teen's favorite tunes. Place pillows shaped like musical notes on the bed, couch or even on the floor.
Little Room of Horrors
Make every day Halloween using a horror theme for a teenager's room. Paint the walls black and trim them with blood red. Allow the red trim paint to drip down the walls during painting to appear as if the walls are bleeding. Put fake cobwebs in all the corners. Hang an extra large spiderweb across the entire ceiling complete with a spider in the middle. Cover a large portion of one wall with mirrors and tap them with a hammer to create hairline cracks throughout. Hang gothic-style candle holders on the walls and pictures of vampires, monsters or other creepy images. Black-and-white portraits from the 18th century make good decorations for the walls as well. Put the outline of a body in yellow paint on the floor and use police tape on the closet door. Place fake spiders and bugs on all surfaces. Use black velvet bedding and curtains.
