Those of you with a teen at home know that decorating a teenager bedroom is not the easiest thing in the world. Some teens know just what they want—it just may not be possible depending on your budget. For other teenagers, it’s more a matter of caring what their room looks like, as many of them don’t. If you’re having a difficult time finding a theme idea that meets with your teenager’s approval, then here are some great ones to consider.

Theme Ideas for a Teen Girl’s Bedroom
For many teenage girls, the color scheme is the most important thing to consider when it comes to their bedroom. Pink and brown, turquoise and brown, and purple and white are all very popular color schemes for a teen girl’s bedroom. Plenty of accessories and fabrics are available in all of these types of color schemes that will work great in your daughter’s room.

The glamorous style is a popular theme for a teen girl’s bedroom. This theme doesn’t have to be as expensive as it sounds. You should be able to easily find accessories, furniture, and other décor items that fit the theme without breaking your budget. Anything with jeweled or glitter accents will work. Try a fake glass chandelier, or a leopard-print lamp on the nightstand for instant glamour.

If glamour isn’t your daughter’s thing, consider a modern or funky style. You will definitely need some input from your teenager if you decide to go with this style. Bright colors are a hallmark of modern style, along with unusual or contemporary artwork, designs, and patterns on the walls. Do be sure to not get too trendy or out there with the décor, though, as you don’t want your teen tiring of it within a few months.

Theme Ideas for a Teen Boy’s Bedroom
Most teenage boys don’t tend to show much interest in their bedroom theme, throw in a couple of wood nightstands and wooden bookcases and they’re satisfied, unless of course they are truly passionate about an activity or hobby. Chances are that your teenage boy will simply want to choose a color scheme for the room and then leave it at that. If this is the case, then suggest a color scheme that goes beyond black or blue. You can add interest and color to the room by involving other colors such as turquoise, green, red, yellow, brown, and orange.

A sports-related décor is very popular amongst teenage boys. You could either concentrate on just one sport, such as baseball or basketball, or you might go with a more general sports theme. Decorating the room with their favorite professional or collegiate team is another option. Sports themes are generally pretty easy as long as you don’t go overboard and clutter up the room.

A car theme is another popular bedroom idea. There are plenty of different ways to implement this theme, depending on whether your son favors old classic cars or the current hot racing cars. You can frame and hang pictures of cars on the walls, or for a really creative touch, paint a mural of a speedway in the room.

Some other great teen boy ideas for the bedroom include:

· music theme

· skateboarding theme

· technology theme

· surfing theme

· camouflage theme

· wilderness theme

The experience of decorating a teen’s bedroom should be enjoyable for both the parents and the kids. Suggest some of these great theme ideas to your teenage son or daughter; you might just end up scoring some parent points with your teen.
