Teenage bedroom ideas

As a teenager you often spend a lot more time in your bedroom than grown-ups do, since your bedroom is more like a living room than a place just for sleeping. On top of that, that room must also accommodate and express a grand personality! The key to keeping it all manageable is flexible storage solutions, high and low.

Function plus style make this teenage room a no.1 hit!

Like those records on the wall, this room is a hit that you’ll never get tired of. Thanks to smart storage there’s plenty of space to express your personality and display your interests. With a clutter free base, it’s easy to change the color and impression of the room, if those favorites should happen to change.

A daybed serves its purpose day and night

A daybed is probably the smartest kind of bed, regardless of time of the day. Apart from the obvious advantage of being both a sofa and a bed, it also offers storage or an extra bed underneath. This VIHALS daybed has a trundle bed ready to be rolled out whenever there needs to be room for a guest. Keep the extra duvet and pillows in DIMPA storage bag for easy access and dust-free storage when not in use.

Like a best friend, always standing tall

When it comes to flexible, maximized and adaptable storage, nothing beats the combination of a PAX wardrobe and KOMPLEMENT interior organizers. From the main shelves down to the smallest details, it can be custom made to fit every storage need. Try the online planning system just for fun, if you’re curious. Another benefit of PAX is the new foldable frame that makes it a lot easier to bring along when you move.

Storage sets the stage for the stars of the room

It’s easy to think that the main purpose of storage is to store things, which makes sense. But the benefit of doing that, is that you clear off all the surfaces and shelves to display the things you actually want to show! And to be surrounded by the things you love the most, gives energy to both you, the room and everyone allowed to enter it.

Making the desk a fun place to be

Desks are most often associated with work or studies, but they can be filled with so much more than that. Fun projects, hobbies, collections, games, friends or whatever you’d like to spend your time with. Don’t forget the wall above the desk, it would love to be appreciated for more things than just standing there, so make it a part of the fun below.

If you like the look of it – it’s fine art!

Another truly fine art is the ability to fill the walls with art without drilling a single hole in the walls. ALFTA self-adhesive hooks let you express your personality without the need of tools, and without leaving any marks. It’s a smart solution for anyone, but perhaps especially for someone who wants to replace and upgrade those pictures on the wall more often than oldies do.

Need more decoration? Check the box!

Not all decorations fit into a flat frame, yet you want them off the table or windowsill. Tadaa – just add a box (or two or six) like IVAR to the wall! It’s the perfect combination of storage and display, ready to be filled with whatever you want to show. Should there be a bunch of little things you don’t want to see but still keep at hand, just add a box inside the box!

Most youth centers are only a few square inches

A teenagers’ room is often a very private zone to which everyone must knock and ask nicely before they enter. At the same time, it can be turned into a public youth center when a bunch of friends stop by. Flexible furniture and stackable or foldable extra chairs will make sure the room adapts to any circumstances.

A room as diverse as the mood of a teen

With a simple base and integrated storage, it’s easy to adapt the room to fit any new interest or style. Just new bedding or a different color on a side table, will change the entire look of the room. The only constant thing is the comfort of the bed. It is the hub from where everything is controlled: A place to chill out and relax, study, chat, socialize, snack – and sleep!
