Teen Girl’s Room – Sweet Dreams are Made of These

Today I am channeling my inner teenage girl but with better taste than the pink butterfly and rainbow bedspread that I actually had as a teenage girl. Design for a teen girl’s room is more of a stretch than the teen boy’s room because I have 2 boys, and because I am a tom-boy. That being said, all three looks have some pink with Option 1 even including a pink rug  and Option 3 a pink bed both balanced with black and white more modern look.

The basic function should support study, sleep, and social for girls. The goal is still to create a special corner of the world where she can escape it all. The room should include a bed, chair, desk, and dresser.

A few tips/tricks to consider:

• Add drawers or cubbies at the bottom of the closet to save space or under the bed;
• Tall dressers take less floor space but store more – I cheated and used the same one for both looks below because it is soooo good;
• Place the desk or dresser on one side of the bed rather than a nightstand to save space;
• Splurge on a good mattress but save on bed frame and desk – lots of good lower-priced options; 
• Involve your daughter in the process, she will likely have more input and a teen boy so these will help you start the conversation and have a jumping-off point; 
• Look for fun accessories such as flowers for the nightstand, jewelry holder, and memo board where she can post inspiration pictures;
• Install LED lights – according to my son these are as popular with the girls as the boys and I teen neighbor always has LED glow coming from her window.
