With the ever-changing styles of young girls, it may seem impossible to design the perfect teenage room. With the right fabrics and furnishings however, it can be done. Here are some design ideas that will express your teenage girl’s maturing style.
Think Chevron
No, we don’t mean the gas station, but rather the pattern. A chevron is an inverted V-shaped pattern and it’s becoming one of the latest decorating crazes. If you have a girl that loves a bold look then chevron chic is the way to get it done. This pattern can make a really strong impact on a room, and although you want to make a statement, you don’t want to overdo it.
A great way to use the chevron pattern is to incorporate it into your flooring. When it comes to girls bedroom design, however, that might not be the best way to go. Instead, focus on chevron patterned fabric. For your bold, shabby chic girl, go for gold. Gold chevron fabric is super sophisticated and will look great pretty much anywhere you put it. Try incorporating the pattern on the bedspread or on throw pillows and drapes.
Animal Kingdom
For your girl that has some added flair, focus in on animal prints. Whether you venture on the bold side or stick with subtle colors, animal prints are the perfect way to add some fun to her space. One of the best places to add animal prints is on furniture. Faux gator, zebra or leopard patterns, made out of faux leather or suede, make great upholstery fabrics for chairs, cushions or ottomans. If there aren’t many furnishings to reupholster, focus on the biggest piece in the room: the bed. A comforter made out of suede animal print will definitely make the bed the focal point of the room.
Silky Smooth
The glamorous girl should be surrounded by silk. Two amazing fabrics that will make the perfect teen girl bedroom are taffeta and dupioni silk. When combined, the results are stunning. The natural bumps and impurities within dupioni silk make it a beautiful fabric for bedding. The smoothness of taffeta makes a lovely contrast when used for drapery throughout the room. You really can’t go wrong with either one of these fabrics so whether you use one or both, just have fun with it.
