Zoning a room for a teenager
When arranging the interior, it is necessary to proceed from the functionality of the room - it is necessary to provide areas for recreation, storage, training, and entertainment.
- Sleep area. Discuss bed placement with your teen. He may want to isolate it from other areas. A screen or niche will help with this. And in a small room you can make a loft bed. When choosing a bed, take care of an orthopedic mattress.
- Study area. Provide a work desk with good lighting, a comfortable chair that is the right height, and shelves for books that are easy to reach. If the child does not have a computer with a monitor, but a laptop, use a special stand so that he does not have to look down. It's bad for your back and neck.
- Storage areas. A teenager should have in his room everything he needs for study and relaxation. Therefore, take care of storage areas. This could be a wardrobe, a bed with drawers underneath, a dressing room, bedside tables. Equip your wardrobe with retractable rails and hangers so that your child can quickly find the right thing.
- Entertainment area. Organize a place for your child where he can practice his hobbies. For example, a sports corner, an easel for drawing, or a large screen with an attachment.

Features of room design for a teenage girl
The personal space of a 12-16 year old girl is not easy to design. The room, regardless of its size (13, 14, 16 sq. m.), should be multifunctional and at the same time comfortable and cozy.
For a teenage girl, the interior of her room is a way of self-expression
When decorating a children's room, take into account the age characteristics and needs of the girl. The room should have:
- Study corner.
- A cozy place to relax.
- A space for gatherings with friends.
- Space for an impressive wardrobe.
- A large full-length mirror is a must.
- If desired, a dressing table and a sports corner (if the girl is involved in physical education or sports).
To successfully arrange everything you need, take into account every centimeter of free space.
Let's move on to choosing a style and layout.
Style and color solutions
The choice of colors depends on the preferences of the owner of the room. Many people think that a girl’s room should be pink. Of course this is not true.
The style of the room should reflect your daughter's inner world
In adolescence, young girls love to experiment and stand out, so get ready for color preferences to be the most catchy, bright and unexpected. But at the same time, take into account such an important point as inconstancy; soon the young housewife may “over-like” the bold color scheme. Therefore, a compromise in resolving this issue is appropriate. Suggest using a bright color you like at the moment as an accent rather than a main tone.
An interesting color scheme is white + gray + accent. The accent can be pink, turquoise or any other
The style of the room also implies a specific color scheme. Interiors in classical styles imply calm neutral tones, trendy modern trends (minimalism, hi-tech) allow for bright and contrasting colors.
The ideal option is a light, muted main tone and bright accessories. In this case, when taste preferences change, it will be easier to change accents (curtains, pillows, textiles) than to change the entire design (including walls).
The child himself chooses the style depending on his desires; you only need to competently suggest and find a general solution in its correct design.
Also consider the size of the room. In a small room, dark colors are inappropriate; they will add gloom and gloominess.
Finishing and interior
A wide variety of materials are used for decoration and decoration.
Stretch ceilings are popular. It can be either traditional flat or modular.
If the ceiling is even, you can simply paint it; if the ceiling is ugly, the easiest way would be to order a stretch one
The walls can be decorated with painting or beautiful wallpaper: silk, vinyl, etc.
Flooring is chosen according to financial capabilities and stylistic features. Laminate, parquet, etc. are suitable.
Lighting should be soft and not monotonous
Be sure to use an additional table lamp (in the work area), sconces, and floor lamps (near the bed).
Furnishing and zoning of the room
Zoning of space is a prerequisite. The division into zones will make the room comfortable and functional even for two girls. How to furnish the room?
The main attributes of zoning are furniture
Pay special attention to your sleeping area. It should be super beautiful and comfortable, because we are no longer creating a nursery, but a girl’s bedroom. To do this, use a bed with a comfortable mattress.
If space does not allow you to use a full bed, give preference to a stylish couch or a compact loft bed.
If the bedroom area allows, it is better to place work areas in different corners of the room
Lay a soft rug near the bed, and use a canopy above the bed; it will be perfect for a young princess.
The work area is equipped with a desk, cabinet, shelving, etc.
It is better to place the work area near the window
The place to relax should be equipped with a small sofa, if space does not allow - at least with a stylish soft ottoman.
The dressing area is ideally equipped with a wardrobe and a chest of drawers. It is located along the wall. A full-length mirror is required in this area. It can be either an independent design detail or a cabinet detail (mirror doors).
Decorate the room with bright accents: textiles, a variety of lamps, sconces, floor lamps, a table lamp, a large soft toy.
Interior - as an expression of the inner world
Almost every teenager strives to make their room an expression of their inner world. Yes, sometimes he may ask for decoration in dark colors. Here it is important to be able to negotiate, for example, allow him to decorate the room with some details that he is interested in. And make the general concept quite neutral, without immersing, for example, in some kind of gloomy style.
If today he likes one thing, then in a few years (or even months) it may turn out that his range of interests has changed radically. Don't do repairs so often!
Make an agreement with him. This way the teenager will see that they are listening to him. Let's now go point by point.
Modern room for a teenage girl 12 years old
Twelve years of age is the time when every child wants to seem a little more mature. In addition, dolls and cartoons have not yet been forgotten, but at the same time, their characters are no longer needed in the interior. Light wallpaper will work well in this case; in addition, the decision to hang photo wallpaper with different patterns, colors or landscapes will be a rather unique choice. And the child will like this choice; it’s best to consult and find out his opinion.
Also, the formation of a girl’s worldview and taste by her parents becomes a rather important factor. Which will have a big impact during renovation. Do not forget to remind your child what is good and beautiful, and what, on the contrary, is bad and terrible. In addition, quite a lot of attention should be paid to the workplace; in the case of a child, this is a learning area. Do not forget that he still has quite a long time to study, which is why the following should be present in the room:
- Required number of drawers and shelves.
- Large roomy table. Because you need a lot of space to do your homework. Also keep in mind that in the future you may need to install a computer.
- Also, a special factor is a chair that is comfortable for the child, which will be as comfortable as possible, and at the same time monitor the correct position and posture of the child.
Also, if the area of the room allows, you can equip a small sofa, which will well solve the problem of accommodating your daughter’s friends.
And the last factor is the floor covering. Note that it is advisable to install a carpet or cover the floors with carpet. Because, as you know, not only small children love to crawl on the floor, but sometimes it is also more convenient for teenagers to sit on the floor and go about their business.
