It seems like yesterday that our guys couldn’t tie a shoe without the help of an adult. Now those innocent little creatures are one step away from being young adults. The key with teens is to give them a safe and serene space for them to retreat to, and we can offer that with some good trendy interior design gimmicks.
Whether you’re renovating an existing children’s room or building a home with a brand new teenager’s space in mind, read on for some key design tips that will get the project through successfully.
Start with what they want
For every girl or boy, expectations recall shapes and colors of fairy tales, of the world of toys that also inspired the delicious design of Candy Room. However, as the young man grows up with his own interests and refines his personal tastes, it is important to discuss this before getting stuck in designing a personal and private space such as his bedroom.
You must always visualize how the room will become with a certain elasticity, ready to welcome changes in tastes and opinions and preserve spaces for creativity and play. Lucia Gemona, editor of SuperBelle says that: “Play is as important in the development of the child as it is in that of the adolescent, because both video games and other more classic ones such as board games, building bricks, etc… allow you to acquire psychomotor skills and combat the so-called. “synaptic pruning” that beginsapproach colors, after childhood”.
From the colorful world to simplicity
Even the approach to colors evolves with age. A dark room with dark hues is not the healthiest space for a young adult, and can often encourage late sleep and a stagnant odor (due to a lack of sunlight). For this reason, large and easily opened windows are recommended, accompanied by soft-colored curtains that do not take up too much space on the floor or walls. Choose wall colors that are neither strong nor bright. If you want to give your interior a bit of personality, you can only use brighter colours on one wall.
You can incorporate color and personality into other elements in the room such as furniture, closet doors, or bedspread. But it’s generally best to keep the rest of the room bright and understated.
Facilitate room management
Let’s not forget to also revisit the containers of specific objects (such as socks, shoe racks, etc.) and imposing the mantra “a place for everything and everything in its place” should make it easier for everyone to manage the room.
Especially during the period of adolescent rebellion, young people feel the need to have their own secret spaces, and they need special attention to ergonomics; then set up a large adjustable desk on which to study, a good bed with slats for a comfortable sleep.
