Bedroom Themes for Teens
from: Maxx Home GuidesMost teens enjoy decorating their bedrooms. Teens tend to like themes, from retro to modern, along with black walls or pink walls and from classic rock to hip hop. Parents don't really like their teens' bedrooms having black walls, but the walls can be repainted once your teens move out to go to college. Here are some cool teen bedroom themes.
Black and White Theme: Teens usually hate boring white walls in their room, so they may choose to paint one wall black while the others remain white. What's great about a black wall is that it brings attention to posters as well as other artwork. With the other walls white, it doesn't make the room look totally pitch black.
Girly Pink Theme: Girls love pink. When painting a girls room, use pale pink with white for a softer look rather than a bright pink. If you want more color, add some green or blue for more contrast.
Boys Navy and Khaki Theme: These are popular colors for teenage boys.
Girls Patterned Theme: Patterns that work well in a girl's room are polka dots, bubble dots, flowers, hearts and diamonds. These can be worked into the room nicely using artwork, bedding or wallpaper.
Boys Patterned Theme: Patterns that work well in a boy's room include stripes, camouflage, sports logos, plaid or checkered patterns. Use bedding and area rugs to complete the look.
Glam Girls Theme: Teen girls love the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, so why not create a bedroom theme that fits their personality. Use one wall in the room and cut of photos of favorite musicians and actors. Add a fancy chandelier, gold framed mirror and hang silk from the ceilings.
Favorite Artist Theme: This is a suitable room for tween girls. The most popular artists include Hannah Montana and The Jonas Brothers. Hang pictures of their favorite artists along with wall decorations. Just make sure nothing is permanent since their taste in artist and musician will change as they get older.
Sporty Guys Theme: Teen guys are more likely to follow the NBA or NFL than the Jonas Brothers. Decorate using team colors and add special touches such as bedding and curtains in either the team logo or team colors. You can also add posters, banners and other sports memorabilia.
Extreme Sports Theme: Extreme sports include motocross, surfing and skateboarding. A great color scheme for extreme sports is green and black. Add a skateboard or surf board to the wall to complete the look.
