Teen Room Decor

When it comes to teen decorating there is much to consider as far as their bedroom is concerned. The reason for this is due to before your bundle of joy grew into a teenager, the room they occupied was primarily designed to allow for safe playing and romping.

But now those days are about gone and your child thinks that he or she “is practically a grown up”, and their bedroom is no longer a sandbox. It's their personal sanctuary.

As you well know, teens crave privacy, and they will spend large amounts of time buried in their room. So, it's crucial that you give them furnishings that will provide comfort. And they should be granted a certain degree of freedom to makeover their room as they see fit (of course, with your approval of their teen decorating choices).

The big difference between teen decorating and decorating for younger kids is that teens are very self-conscious about how their bedrooms look. As such, they will want you to have as little involvement in their bedroom decorating choices as possible.

I know, I know....it'll take you a little while to get used to this role, but it is crucial that you give your teen a good bit of freedom to make their own choices and grow.

Now, there's some thing else you should know. Most teen decorating themes are chosen for how they make the teen feel, rather than how it looks. Strange, but true.

Teenagers make a great effort to confound logic and order, and are at that stage where they are striving to be recognized as individuals. In decorating, they will do this by using what most interests them to express themselves. And they will turn to these things when they need sanctuary, and wish to hibernate.

Therefore, while you may not completely understand or agree with their teen decorating selections, it's a good idea to just let them mature and grow in an environment that gives them solace and makes them feel comfortable.

Possible teen decorating ideas that your teen may enjoy include the following:

- Vibrant paint colours for the walls
- Fuzzy chairs
- Area rugs
- Daybeds
- Beds with Trundles
- Whacky shaped objects (lamps, clocks ect.)
- Posters
- Pictures of family and friends
- Bookshelves
- Mirrors

It's also quite common for teen decorating to include certain themes. Some of the most popular teen decorating themes tend to be:

- Nature – wildlife, trees, plants, etc.
- Entertainment – music, movies, etc.
- Sports – baseball, football, hockey, etc.

Another thing you'll want to take into account when considering teen decorating is that studying will play a much bigger role in their lives. That being the case, if your teen does not have a computer in his or her room, you may want to seriously consider purchasing them one, due to the vast majority of teens prefer studying and doing homework in their room compared to anywhere else.

Now, I shouldn't have to say it, but be very careful when it comes to the computer and your teen. You've probably heard horror stories about child predators lurking on the Internet. So, pay attention to what your teen does with their computer. Just due to they think they are “practically adults”, it doesn't mean they are mentally ready to make all adult decisions and handle the consequences.

In addition to the above, multi-function furniture such as stackable crates and bins are a great and inexpensive way for your teen to neatly store all of their items.

Although teen decorating may cause you moments of frustration and cringing, it is some thing that your child will enjoy, and is crucial to them. So, just bear with them. After all, it won't be long before they are off to college.

Cottage Style Decorating – How To Create A Warm And Inviting Oasis

If you are interested in cottage style decorating for your home interior, there are many exciting ways you can design just about any area of your home to capture the perfect authenticity of such a theme.

Cottage style decorating for the home interior carries with it an extremely warm and inviting feeling. With this in mind you may already be thinking about the types of colors you will be painting your walls, the type of upholstery you will be interested in for your cushions, chairs and couches, as well as the style of furniture that would best suit this fashion.

The one aspect you will need to keep in mind if you have chosen cottage style decorating for your theme is to remember that although cottage designs are similar to country, there are some crucial differences that make these two styles separate from one another.

For instance, although cottage style decorating has the similar interior simplicity, and warmth as a basic country style, it is altogether more modern.

In order to give you more ideas to think about when using cottage style decorating as your home design, you may wish to take the following tips into consideration:

Think Wicker or Think Wood – When it comes to furniture for cottage style decorating, the most authentic looking pieces are those made of wicker or wood. The reason for this is due to these furnishings appear more natural, and rustic, and are often associated with the outdoors.

Floral Patterns and Bright Prints – When it comes to the upholstery of your furnishing pieces, the cottage style decorating theme is all about bold and vibrant colorful patterns, with the most popular patterns often being floral.

Warm Colored Walls – The walls of a room that are based on cottage style decorating should be fashioned in warm colors such as tones of yellow, and terracotta. You may also want to add a stencil or wallpaper border to the top of the wall in another color to add a nice accent to the wall.

Wood Floors and Area Rugs – Hardwood floors are the best look for a cottage themed room. If you cannot afford hardwood floors, you may be interested in using laminate, which is a good substitute in appearance for hardwood floors.

You will also find that area rugs make an excellent addition to the room. Just make sure you pick designs and patterns that will match with the upholstery in the room.

Simple and Sweet Accessories – The best type of cottage style decorating accessories are those that are personal and homemade.

Family photos are perfect for wall hangings, or for dressing up an end or coffee table.

Simple rustic paintings or those of flowers, or vegetables and fruit also add a nice touch. You may also be interested in a coo-coo clock for cottage-like decoration.

There you have it, some great ideas for you to consider when cottage style decorating your home. Keep in mind that you don’t have to limit your cottage theme to one room; you can express this style in your living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and more. The choices truly are endless, and what’s even better is they are all yours to make.

Tips For Interior Decorating

Most of us care about our homes and tries to make them as nice as possible. If you want to decorate your home with success and really become clever in interior decorating you should know the basic interior decorating tips as well as the three elements of success that apply to any interior decorating program. This helps you to create rooms that are welcoming and harmonic for everybody. The elements I am talking about are:

the function,
the mood and
the harmony.

The Function

Any room in a home has to be functional. If not it will be of no use to anybody. Only if it functions according to its' purpose it will be enjoyed. Functional actually means that the room should serve a purpose and be comfortable to perform that function inside the room.

A living room is an example of a functional room. Some living rooms are so decorated and pristine, they are never used. It should not be like that. This is, to put it plainly, an interior decorating failure. A functional living room should be in a manner that it is used for greeting and entertaining guests and providing a space for family members to interact, relax and share quality time together. This makes it a functional room due to it has a purpose and use. keep this function in mind while decorating a functional room like a living room.

The Mood

The next of the three elements of successful interior decorating is the Mood. If the mood of a room is to be relaxing and peaceful, such as a bedroom, then everything in the room will work toward this mood. If you want a room to be high energy, such as an office or game room, then the elements applied to the decoration and design will set this mood. If you want a room to be bright an airy, then colors and treatments will focus toward this mood. You should know the mood for which that room is created. Then accordingly you must decorate it. The decoration should be in such a way that it brings the desired mood to the person in that room.

The Harmony

The third of these three elements of successful interior decorating is harmony. Every element in any room of the home, office etc. should work in harmony with the other elements or items, for example colors, textures and patterns in that room. Be aware that this isn't the very same as neglecting contrasting elements; contrast should also be used. The clue is to make harmony in the room and this should be the end result of combining all the items within it. The way we usually accomplish this is by utilizing a color scheme that uses three colors which are highlighted throughout the room.

These three elements of successful interior decorating should be implemented into your home. This will make it more appealing, enjoyable and brings happiness and pleasure. Thus it is made enjoyable by everyone who uses that room. These elements should be pulled together with the decor to make it a welcoming one to your family and friends.

Decorating Ideas for Small Rooms

* Make the most of decorating small rooms. Color plays a vital role in a small room. It sets the decorative style and scheme, but also can change the room's appearance. Use bright colors on the walls. Darker colors may be more popular but using bright colors makes a room seem more spacious. For example: Cool colors such as blues, greens, (some) purples make a small room appear larger and airier. The reverse is true of warm colors such as reds and yellows as they will make a small room seem more intimate and intense.

* A home decorating tip for integrating color into mostly white rooms—blend, blend, and blend! There are many shades of white and cream that work nicely with “graduations” of accent colors. Visualize three shades of rosy pink pillows against a white sofa!

* Decorating ideas include painting the ceiling a lighter color than the walls. Use smaller patterns in wallpaper and furniture upholstery. Large patterns may be used in accessories such as pillows and throws.

* Select fewer, larger pieces of furniture to make a room appear more open and less cluttered opposed to putting lots of small pieces of furniture in the room. Taller furniture should be placed along a far wall while shorter furniture may be placed away from the wall giving a sense of spaciousness.

* The use of screens will help divide multi-purpose rooms in a small home or apartment. A bedroom or living room may have one corner as an office. A screen will provide privacy as well as hiding the “trappings” of the work area.

* Daybeds with a pullout trundle are the answer for small bedrooms. They will accommodate two people but take up less space in the room on a daily basis. The room can also be used as an office, craft room or quiet sitting room.

* Use textures for interest in a small room. Combining textures in your decor will give a small room interest, appeal, dimension and depth. Choose accessories and fabrics with texture for the best impact; for example: wrought iron, glass, stone, metal, chrome, copper, bronze, mirrors, detailed finishes, textured fabrics, shiny fabrics, and unique area rugs to mention a few.

* Mirrors are a great way to create an illusion of space. If you have a wall in front of the entrance as you enter your home, hang a unique mirror on that wall to open it up and add interest to the area.

*Quick change artist! Move furniture and furnishings around! do not be afraid to rearrange items in your home. Just changing the accessories or pictures from room to room can bring about a huge change.

The Volcano Bed – Bedroom Decor Idea

Your bed can become a volcano if you do a bit of creative decor.
Start with a bed that has a head board but no foot board. Paint the whole bed black. Upholster the head board with bright red satin in the shape of lava flowing down and out ward to spread over the base from a single spot on the top surface of the headboard. This will make a nice back rest when stuffed. The river of glowing hot lava is continued with the bedding.

Cover the bed in matching red satin sheets, pillow cases, comforter cover, and bead spread to look like the continuation of the lava flow coming from the volcano's vent, and add a few black throw pillows to look like chunks of cooled hardened lava that broke off. The bed skirt could be either red or black, depending on how old you want the lower lava flow to look. A red satin skirt over a black frame would give the impression of layered stratigraphy and help to create the lava falls spilling onto the floor.

A red curvy area rug at the side or foot of the bed would continue that lava theme, making it appear to pool. Surround the rug with black bean bag chairs to look like cooled hardened lava rock formations.

For added effect, paint the wall over the top of the head board to look like a rising plume of smoke and ash.

If your volcano is underwater, add lots of bubbles to the painting of rising ash plumes. If you are really ambitious, you can attach a shelf to the back of the headboard and sit a bubble machine on it, hidden under the top surface, just behind the place you've made to look like the vent point. The bubble machine should always be operated with an adult present.

The lava bed is one of the easier theme beds to design and create.

Headboards and footboards – are they necessary?

Well it depends on who you ask. Some might be perfectly content having his or her bed up against the wall or in the corner of the bedroom. While this is a perfectly viable option, it is a bit reminiscent of a college dorm room. Adding a headboard and footboard to your bed is a simple way to add a bit of style and panache to your bedroom.

Positioned at the head of the bed, the main purpose of a headboard is to separate your head from the wall and to give you a location to put your bed pillows. The footboard, on the other hand, goes at the foot of the bed and keeps your feet from dangling off the end. While both of these pieces are functional, most people wind up getting them for aesthetic purposes – they just make the bedroom look more complete!

The fact is that a bed just doesn’t look good sitting on top of a box spring with the comforter spilling off the edge of the bed onto the floor. While most bed frames today include a headboard and footboard, wall mounted headboards and panels exist separately, providing for more versatility. Adding a stylish bed frame that includes a headboard and a footboard is a simple and cost-effective way to dress up your bedroom.

Some bed frames even give you some extra under-bed storage which is great for a small apartment.
For those of you yet questioning whether or not you really need a headboard/footboard, why not think about getting a bookcase headboard? These pieces are the perfect blend of form and function, giving you a neat and easily accessible little space to stack books and magazines, tissues, a clock radio –whatever you might normally place on a night stand.

Available in a variety of styles, there’s surely a headboard and footboard to match your personal style and home d?cor style – from an ultra modern leather (or faux leather) headboard, to a simple wood bookcase headboard, perfect for your child’s bedroom. You can even customize the look of your bedroom with a stylish upholstered headboard.

When you combine solid wood, graceful classic lines and a cherry finish, you get that distinguished look that is good enough for royalty.
