A teen bedroom that’s almost a separate home

Part of being a teenager is wanting more independence. With a few good ideas, you can make their room feel more special and more like their own home within the home.

A quick way to hide storage

A roller blind is a quick and budget-friendly way to cover up storage when you want the room to look calm and tidy. And it makes a great cinema screen when friends come round, too!

Teens and dirty clothes

Why not get your teens to throw their dirty clothes into a laundry bag like they were playing basketball? More fun and exercise for them, less tidying for you.

Get smaller things organised

We have lots of smart ideas to get smaller things really organised, like this MOPPE mini chest of drawers.

Make your own personal shelf

You can use hooks to turn an old children’s chair into a decorative shelf. Perfect for showing off your teen’s prized possessions or maybe even a film projector, like here.

Save space with a foldable table

This IVAR storage unit with foldable table is a good way to save space and make things look calm when your teen isn’t using it. Just fold it up and hide all the things away.

An alternative bedside table

An IVAR side unit normally holds one end of a set of shelving. You can also use it as handy storage near the bed. Some NORDRANA baskets hanging on hooks can hold your smaller things.
