Common challenges for teen girl bedroom designs are
1)How to get organized?
2)How to express changing interests and personalities?
3) How to make the small room look bigger?
4) How to get the cute look in cheap ways?
This blog is your ultimate resource to address the top concerns. Let’s start with how to design a cute bedroom for a teen girl in 11 steps?
Brainstorm To Collect Inspiration.
Remember to allow for change and flexibility, as teen girls change their interests and preferences a lot while they are 13, 14, 15, 16 years old. Young tweens (8 to 12 years old) and older teenagers (17 to 19 years old) will also have very different functional needs for their rooms.
Decide The Bedroom Theme.
Here is a list of trendy teenage girl room themes. They will work well with any color you choose.
| Pastel Goth | To get the bedroom pastel goth, you can add black drapes, dark color furniture trims, skulls, etc into your pastel room. |
| Japanese Anime | You can get your desired viral Tiktok rooms by decorating the space with neon signs, ceiling, and wall led light string. Remember to fill the wall and desk with anime decor to get the vibe right. |
| Sailor Moon | Sailor Moon-inspired rooms are loved by fans. If you want to go for a subtle approach, then look for anime pieces with small details that give it a bit more interest without taking over the room. |
| Modern | Modern bedrooms include the mix & match use of natural materials, neutral or earthy colors, and the elimination of unnecessary detailing in interior staging. White or gray tones are usually used as the base color. |
| Empty | The decoration style is predominantly decorated with a pale earthy palette. Kim Kardashian is the famous owner of an ’empty’ luxury home. Interior designer actually spends a lot of time, money, design talent, and effort to hide all the mess to make the house ’empty’ and truly minimal. |
| Rebel | Rebel style in bedroom design is for indie or independent teenagers who are looking for a unique voice to express the self. If you have a rebellious outfit style, you should obviously also go for a rebel bedroom design. |
| Classy Luxury | Luxury bedrooms have a lot to copy from high-end glam hotel rooms. This type of classy decoration style focuses on top-of-the-line products such as expensive furniture, glamorous antiques, chandelier lighting, crystal beads, and opulent artwork. |
| Kawaii | Kawaii is the culture of cuteness, innocence & being harmless in Japan. Being cute is NOT the same as being kawaii. While both cute and kawaii decoration styles are feminine and soft, kawaii style is more associated with a Tokyo Harajuku Girl vibe and anime culture. It is a Japanese cuteness (think Sailor Moon, Sanrio, Hello Kitty, etc. You can learn more about the room aesthetic here.) instead of a Disney or Pixar princess cuteness (think Cinderella or Frozen). |
| Cute | Cute decoration style in interiors is all about creating a space that gives us good feelings of relaxation, happiness, and lightness. Cute bedroom decor includes anything pastel color, soft, and comforting. Throw in your favorite plushies, blankets, and pillows to achieve the vibe. |
| Simple & minimalist | Minimal Doesn’t Mean Boring. A simple minimalist bedroom usually has an open floor plan, lots of light, and minimalist furnishings. The ultimate design goal is to create a neat timeless aesthetic. |
Choose The Color Combination.
Which Color Is The Best For A Cute Teenage Girl Bedroom?
The best color for a teen girl’s cute bedroom will vary depending on her personality. While a little girl loves the classic girly princess pink aesthetic. Teen girls may gravitate more towards a variety of pastel colors, including soft pink, yellow, purple, blue, gray, and green. Some teenage girls even love a bold contrasting color combination such as black and white for their bedrooms.
While a room of ONLY one color can look beautiful and amazing, it is often too boring for most people. Try to add one or two complementary colors to your room.
Set A Budget And Project Timeline.
Any interior design project’s success depends on reasonable planning in advance. You can always save money with your girls through fun upcycling projects, DIY, or treasure hunting cheap stuff in second-hand furniture stores.
Make A Shopping List To Start Buying.
The bedroom makeover will be an ongoing project, but you should make a decision with the bulky major furniture pieces first as that will help you plan the room layout better and visualize the spatial quality easier.
Start With Ceiling Paint, As The Paint May Drip To The Wall Or Floor.
Unless you have a real high ceiling, or else light and bright colors should be what you put on the ceiling. You can also decorate the ceiling with mural art or night glowing stickers.
Do The Wall Painting. Remember To Have A Plan For Your Windows, Doors And Skirting Board In Advance.
If you love a colorful vibe then you can get creative here with the details.
Arrange The Locations Of The Main Furniture Such As Sofa, Bed, Desk Etc.
Ideally, a teen girl room should be designed to have several areas for different functionality: a sleeping zone, a studying zone, a vanity, and a closet, and maybe an area for guests. Decorate to make a distinction of the different functions, separate the areas to give your girl more comfort, and organize them to make them more practical.
Bring In The Lighting Fixtures, Electronics, Curtains And Fabrics.
They are important elements to create the right cozy vibe.
Start To Decorate The Furniture And Show Off Your Displays.
There are probably a million more things I want to share about upgrading your existing furniture to cute kawaii style. In short, remember room improvement is a process, no one can get it right at once then leave it for decades. You should be always adding or removing objects, making adjustments to lighting and angles, relocating furniture and decors. Making changes always is a MUST as a comfy living environment is very impactful to our happiness and good living.
Fine Tune The Angle Of The Lighting, Position Of The Area Rug And Throw Pillows To Get Everything Perfect.
