Install a Personalized Gallery Wall

Don’t let that awkward wall space above your teen’s bed go to waste. Take cues from this contemporary teen bedroom and install a curated collection of art prints, maps, flags and sculptural details over the headboard. Designer sKout incorporates a vintage initial and framed photograph that features the same fiery-red hue found on the pillowcases to create flow throughout the design.

Knock Out the Details

Use your teen’s interests or hobbies to anchor their bedroom design. A retro leather punching bag hangs from the ceiling in this cool bunk room, working overtime as a unique focal point for the space and providing the teens a spot to box and get out some energy after school.

Whitewash the Walls

Creating a soothing space for your overstimulated teen to start and end their day is easier than you think. Wrap their walls with creamy-white shiplap and choose white-washed furnishings to create an airy base for the space. From there, layer the room with upholstery, bedding, window treatments and artwork with a pastel-forward color palette to infuse personality into the design. A kaleidoscope-print Roman shade leads the way for color in this creamy teen bedroom. The same coral, blush, aqua and orange hues continue throughout via wall art, an accent pillow and a boho pouf.
