How to arrange a teenage girl's room – key rules
1. Let the teenager express her style
This is the first (and most important) rule. Let the teenage girl’s room reflect her personal style. This will be the place where she spends most of her time. Of course, it’s best to approach this with common sense and, if necessary, look for compromises. It’s also a good idea to set the budget in advance, which you as a parent can spend on the room. This helps avoid misunderstandings later.
Select the furniture, wall colors, and flooring together with your teenager – let her choose the furniture she likes most. You can assist and ensure the pieces are functional. The same applies to the wall or floor colors. For a teenage girl, arranging her own room will be an important experience. It’s worth accompanying her in this process rather than doing it for her.
2. Create functional zones
While considering the budget and planning the space, pay attention to the zones that should be included in a teenage girl's room. These include a study area (desk and chair), a relaxation area (comfortable bed), and storage for necessary items.
Unlike a child’s room, a teenage girl's room doesn’t require as much space for play. It becomes more important to provide a spacious wardrobe, various storage solutions, and properly arranged multi-point lighting. Much will also depend on the teenager's hobbies. For example, if she plays a larger instrument like a piano or drum set, you’ll need to make space for that if the room size allows. Even the smallest spaces can be arranged functionally and efficiently.
3. Choose durable flooring
The teenager chooses the color, but you choose the type. There’s no denying that the floor in a teenage girl's room will be more prone to damage. If it’s meant to last for many years, possibly until she leaves for college, it’s important to choose something durable. We recommend floor panels with high abrasion resistance, such as AC6 class like the De Lux collection or Expert. These are easy to maintain, comfortable to use, and keep their perfect appearance for many years.
Teenage girl's room and current trends
A good solution is to opt for universal colors and design choices. Light, timeless floor panels, such as Sienna Oak, combined with white walls and neutral furniture. How the teenage girl's room will ultimately look depends on her. Through accessories, she will create a space she’s happy with. And when her needs or tastes change over time, you’ll be able to make small, budget-friendly updates without major renovations.
Built-in wardrobes and other storage solutions remain very popular, where teenagers can keep their belongings. Hanging fairy lights above the bed add coziness. Large mirrors visually enlarge the space and double as part of the wardrobe or dressing area. Also popular are different items for expressing personal interests, like large world maps for travel enthusiasts or various posters.
