Give Your Teenager’s Room an Update
May 14th, 2009 by Home Pro
When your young son or daughter becomes a teenager, it’s a great opportunity for you to help him or her graduate to a bedroom decorated in a more mature style. It may be time to get rid of some of the more childlike elements of the bedroom décor and give it an updated, stylish appearance. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
Engage your son or daughter in the planning phase and be willing to make concessions. After all this will be the room of a teenager.
Determine whether new furnishings are needed or if you can keep the furniture and spend your money on accessories to create a whole new look.
Set a budget that you can live with and work with your teen to find options for the accessories that will fit within the set budget.
When you’re deciding on paint color, you be totally flexible and let your teen choose the color or select a particular color palette and give your teen the option to choose from a selected group of colors.
Working together to plan and implement the makeover can be fun for both of you, and hopefully allowing your teen to choose what best conveys his or her sense of style and interests will give them the incentive to keep their new room neat and clean.
