If you are the parent of a teen, one day you will have to decorate or re-decorate his room. While this might seem a daunting task, small teen bedrooms can be decorated on a budget to meet the needs of the teen while staying fashionable and functional. Look for supplies to decorate a teen room at most home improvement center, design stores or mass-market retailers. - Choose bright paint to liven up a teen room.background of the texture wall bright yellow colour image by Irina Igumnova from Fotolia.com
Choose a bold color for the walls. Bright colors help to open up a space and also inject life and energy into a bedroom. Let your teen pick out the color and help paint. For a focal point, paint only one wall, and leave the other walls a neutral color. A dark color painted on one wall can make the wall appear to recede, which will open up the space. Remember, if they don't like the paint later on, it can be changed. - Pick out colorful bedding for a teen room.girly bed image by Kelly Kane from Fotolia.com
Pick out bedding that will match or complement the wall color. Solids are more versatile than prints for bedding. Solid colors open up a small space, while prints tend to eat up space, creating a smaller effect. Choose a solid color comforter and accent with patterned pillows, a valance or curtains. A reversible comforter that features two different colors is also a good option to change the look of the bedroom if desired. Sew the comforter yourself to save money. Sheets can often be sewn into inexpensive comforters. - Add storage to a teen room.dreamy reader image by Cherry-Merry from Fotolia.com
Add storage options such as bookshelves, stacked milk crates and hooks on the walls. Walls are often unused spaces that can be taken advantage of by adding shelving, hooks and even pegboards. Make a space for a small desk with a shelf above to fit books and supplies. A good alternative for a desk is a sofa table placed against the wall. Re-purpose an unused sofa table in your living room. Add an old dining chair for seating. - Add bean bag chairs for seating.Young pretty women on red bean bag relaxing image by Christopher Meder from Fotolia.com
Add bean bag chairs or inflatable chairs for portable seating. Large pillows can also be used as floor cushions when playing video games or hanging out. Add narrow upholstered benches to the end of the bed for convenient seating.
