How to Choose the Best Teen Bedroom Sets
GO HERE FOR MORE!
A teen girl’s bedroom furniture and accessories are what make the difference between a run of the mill uninspired space and a funky, interesting and fun place to entertain and impress her friends. There are many fashionable designs out there and rather than make your bedroom makeover easier; the large selection might actually make your job more complicated. For instance, your tween might adore the Swedish modern dresser and then fall in love with a feminine canopy bed complete with carved cupids or angels flying across the headboard.
Before you set a date to take your daughter shopping for her stylish bedroom furniture, it would be advisable to pick up some teen magazines and see how her favorite teen celebrity’s bedroom is decorated. Maybe you can get some decorating ideas from the photographs regarding themes and color schemes.
BEDS FOR TEENS
The bed may be where you start this adventure into finding the perfect furniture for your teen girl. What you will be looking at is whether the funky headboard or the wild bedding set that's the standout and you should point this out to your child. When she screams and shouts that a particular bed is cute and to die for, you should ask exactly which part of the bed is tickling her fancy. Has the actual headboard and footboard caught her eye or is the bedding set?
SIZE
Take an inventory of the actual square footage and size of your teen girl’s bedroom. If you are decorating a small twelve by twelve bedroom with standard eight foot ceilings, that gorgeous set of bedroom furniture with a king size bed, an armoire, double dresser and two matching night stands that looked fantastic in the store may be disappointing once you get it home. Wall to wall bedroom furniture is only going to make your child’s room look tiny and cramped.
A better option would be a twin or double bed with one night stand and a tall chest of drawers to free up some floor space and give the visual impression that the room is bigger than it is.
STORAGE
Teenage girls love stuff. Stuffed animals, pompoms and photographs will clutter her bedroom to no end if not controlled. The top of the bureau may not have enough room to house all of her friends framed photographs and the teddy bears and bunny rabbits left over from her childhood, so while you’re shopping for your teenage girl’s bedroom furniture pick out some wall shelves that match to catch the overflow.
If lack of floor space isn’t an issue, you might want to add a table and chairs for a conversation area or a desk with a lamp so that your kitchen table will stay free of books and the contents of her backpack.
THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN MOTHER AND HER TEENAGE GIRLS
