Children & Teenagers Room


Children room
The children room is the most playful thing to design and it needs a lot of creativity carefulness. The room should be given some longevity by choosing background elements that are long lasting. The general rules while planning children room are:
  • The room should grow with the child so everything should be very versatile.
  • The babies move quickly from infant to pre school and then to school and you need objects with every month passing.
  • One must start with the child's favorite things and that should be the key to design anything.
  • The storage is one thing that really grows with the child and to fulfill that need, one must have adequate storage.
The storage is of four types:
Closed storage: This type of storage includes Elmira, closet, drawers and should be used for those things which look cluttered otherwise.
Open storage: This type of storage is good for displaying something and includes showcases, consoles, and racks.
Remote Storage: Items stored in basement or garage which are out of sight and not easy to get fall in this category of storage.
Convenient Storage: This storage includes the space which can be conveniently found like in the bed, upper closets.
  • The window treatment is as important as anything else. It should supply sufficient light and air. They can be simply be colourful; can have blinds or roller shades.
Teenagers Room:

Teenagers yearn for freedom and need more space. Individuality, expressing themselves and making their own decisions are some of the topmost priorities in this rebellious period of life. They are difficult to please too. Here are some tips to really make teenager thankful for having such a wonderful room and the world's most caring parents:
  • Inexpensive accessories are the best way to funk up the room such as decorative pillows, throws, rugs, lamps, photo frames and wall hangings.
  • Bulletin board and clip frames to create the collage of your favorite photos, magazine cutouts and posters are must for teenagers for their hero-worship.
  • Special creative ideas such as group of masks, cross-swords, hunter's knife, leather whips, decorative shields or plates can also be used as innovation.
  • Trendy study-lamps and lampshades and overhead retro paper lanterns that come in various designs to suit the personality of your teenager's nature will encourage them to study more and more.
  • Round-cushioned comfy chairs with a wicker bottom can be used for a mix-and-match color scheme and to store them in corner of the room by arranging them one on top of the other to gain more space.
  • Fold-up papasan chair is a favorite too.
  • Extra seating for friends coming over for studying or watching movie can always be managed with big, oversized pillows and a big comfy beanbag.
  • Teenagers sharing room with their siblings will appreciate privacy by hanging beaded curtains or a canopy bed.
  • Storage area to keep their accessories such as toiletries, hair styling products, compact disks, dirty clothes and magazines in the form of stacking baskets, trunks and dressers are always needed.
  • Functional furniture pieces with hidden storage space are the most appreciated ones.
  • A desk complete with a personal computer and a comfy yet ergonomically sound chair will help your teens to study and chat for long time without the backaches.
  • Extra storage options in the bathroom to keep all those recently acquired grooming products such as hair-gels and body glitter, is an essential too.
  • Cordless phones in trendy designs and bold colors for those long late-night talks are the first love of all teenagers.
  • A private living room space can be provided by placing a sofa or an extra-long loveseat, which can double up as a bed for a friend that can be folded or deflated might be an option too.
  • If your teen loves that harsh loud music, ample use of fabric and carpet can absorb some of the sound. You may also soundproof their room, so that you can sleep better.
