Ah, teenagers. Haven’t we all been there? Change in mood is as fast as changing horrible clothes. Shift in trends is faster than they can say “Hello!” How strange…but maybe not. Teenage phase is part of life. You’ve been there, done that, so I’m sure you know it’s normal really, when your teenager’s taste in decors takes a new turn almost every week. A teen’s room is his property even if technically, he lives in YOUR property. He would do anything to make it look good. Because of the vacillating nature of teenagers, its best to use products that can be easily replaced or taken off like area rugs, paint, window blinds and duvet covers for decorating his room. Wall to wall carpeting won’t work, given that he might decide anytime that he now wants a polished bare floor in his room.

Duvet covers aren’t so pricey and are easy to make. If you have a teenage girl, she will like the idea of a duvet cover ala giant pillowcase. She can use this as a stylish comforter instead of always changing the bedcovers’ color and style. If you want to make it yourself, sew a duvet made from two sheets with a Velcro and slip a white comforter in the cover. If your teen wants a new look, it’s easy to make using a different style or color.

Department stores, home boutiques and discount shops sell a wide variety of cheap window treatments. You and your teen can have a field day browsing through the various shades of window blinds and curtains. If you’re quite a seamstress, you can also make your own curtains. All you need are a measuring tape and the fabric of your choice.

For decorating the walls, wallpaper is not a good idea for a teenager’s room. I mean, they keep on changing their minds! Wallpaper can be difficult to remove and replace. It’s better to maximize the magic of paint. There are hundreds of available colors and your teen can even mix and match. He can go abstract and surpass Picasso if he wants to. In time that he gets bored and desires to have another shade or ambiance to his room, a simple repainting job, which can actually be fun as well, is all that he needs to do.

Area rugs are a great way that you can spruce up any room to add color and style. They are a better home dcor choice if your teenager likes a certain color, than going for wall to wall carpeting in his or her room. Not only can the rug easily be replaced with another area rug if the taste changes, but the area rug can be used elsewhere in the house. Area rugs are one of the best options for instant color, warmth and style in any room, especially in the room of a teenager.

Taking care of a teenager requires some money. Think allowance in all forms – school, shopping, sports, hobbies, contingency cash, etc. Decorating is an enjoyable activity you can share with your teenager. The good news is, you don’t need much dough. Besides, it’s not practical. By using less permanent decorating materials, you can be as creative and your teen as fickle-minded without damaging your bank account. The options are there for you. And you don’t have to choose only one. With the money you save, you can be generous in buying your teen several area rugs, an extra curtain, couple of duvet covers and some cans of paint, all for beautifying his room.

Interior Design For Teenagers has never been so easy with these children’s rugs.
