We all remember our teenage years. It is a unique time of life when you are trying to find your niche and so you explore new styles and interests. Teens of today are now different. They have a need to express their own brand of style, and decorating their own bedroom lets them just do that. But you don’t need to worry. You can help your teen create a fantastic bedroom without spending a fortune!

Redecorating a teen bedroom can be a fun experience for both parents and teens. As you work together you will find that you are creating a stronger bond as well as a fun living space for your teen. One key to a successful teen bedroom project is to let the teen have the majority of control. It is their living space after all! Let them choose the style, colors, and accessories. You just make sure they understand your budget requirements and any extreme decorating don’ts.

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to freshen up a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Replace that drab and faded color with something that really brightens up the room or gives it some pop! Paint just one wall a bright color or two tone the walls with one shade on the bottom and another on the top. There are so many things you can do with a couple of cans of paint, the possibilities are endless.

It is probably time to update the bedding as well. How many teenagers are still sleeping on the bedding they fell in love with when they were nine? It is definitely time for a change. You can find great teen bedding at most department stores and online. The assortment is huge. Not only do you have a large selection of girls bedding but great teen boys bedding as well! Whatever color or style you have in mind you are sure to find it.

Know what you are looking for in bedding before you buy. Do you need sheets and a comforter or just a new comforter? Do you need queen size or full? Knowing these things will make shopping much simpler. If you only need a comforter, then you will want to look at getting a comforter set. You will get a comforter and a sham or two. Sometimes a comforter set will include a bed skirt or throw pillows as well. If you need sheets as well as a comforter, take a look at a bed in a bag set. These sets are exactly what they say, everything you need for a bed all zipped up in a bag. You will get sheets, comforter, shams, and sometimes a bed skirt and throw pillows.

After paint and new bedding, fun accessories can really make a room. There are so many fun and inexpensive bedroom accessories to choose from. You can get bright colored desk lamps and trash cans, best of all fuzzy rugs and fun throw pillows. In the fall you can find a lot of these products prominently displayed at department stores as college students are preparing to furnish their dorms!

You are only a teen once and as you remember it is a fun and carefree time of life. Let your teenager express their individual style by decorating their own bedroom.
