Easy And Fun Ways Of Decorating For Your Teenager

By Marsha Wallis

If you're familiar with the overwhelming group of people called the teenagers and have been in their company for some time, you would have discovered by now that changes are their favorites. If you have a teenager at home, helping out with room decoration can be fun but it can also rip your wallet apart as members of this group like to change whatever they can, pronto! It is therefore advisable to set aside permanent decorating ideas such as wallpaper and wall-to-wall carpeting knowing that their tastes alter fast. Go for items that are easy to modify and replace like rugs, wall paint, window and duvet covers.

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.

Embellishing the window is simple. You can utilize blinds or curtain, and this is as easy to find as duvet covers. This kind of window cover can be changed anytime and offer variety as well in colors and patterns.

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 make great decors if you want to spice up a room. Wall-to-wall carpeting is tedious to maintain but an area rug is replaceable with different colors and designs. In an instant, your teenager's room can have a new look with a simple change of the rug. He can place it at the room's entrance, at the foot of his bed or near his cabinet.

Decorating the room of your teenager can be fun, but you just do not want to put a lot of money into the project. By using less permanent decorating ideas such as duvet covers, paint, area rugs and inexpensive window treatments, you can give the room the dcor that you are seeking for a lot less money than you can imagine. If you want to make your teenager happy, take these decorating tips and help them decorate their room the room of their dreams with the style and colors that they like. For now. - 30224
