…and make your kid happy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4 min read)<\/strong>\u00a0So, this article\u2019s working title was \u201cDesigning a perfectly balanced teenager’s bedro\u2026 nope\u201d, because it is a part 2 of that previous \u201cDesigning a perfectly balanced master bedroom article\u201d. However, I know my boss would be like: \u201cCan you be normal and not sickeningly sarcastic at least with the title?\u201d, thus the calmer happy-go-lucky version up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s have a chat. We all know that teenagers don\u2019t really have it easy. With all the hormonal changes, social awkwardness, and cultural norms, it is no wonder they are mosquito-level annoying. Needless to say, understanding is key. Imagine if your feet suddenly started growing uncontrollably, your eyebrows fall off AND you have an uncontrollable crush on Jungkook from BTS. THAT\u2019S how your teenager feels all the time. It\u2019s a hard-knock life, amirite? And that is exactly why you shouldn\u2019t go around designing their personal space to your liking. Here are a few tips on how to best design your teenager\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go in prepared<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teenagers are usually all over the place emotion and interest wise, so be prepared for some random ideas and quick changes. Things probably won\u2019t run as smoothly as you expect them to, so arm yourself with patients and, once again, UNDERSTANDING. Keep in mind that the room will probably end up being an eclectic mash-up of styles and\/or colors, but that\u2019s fine as long as it makes your teenager happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Go for the furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike with the wall color\/s and technology, most teenagers will let you serve some options when it comes to furniture and they\u2019ll choose their favorites from there. That is usually where you will be able to establish some particular style and try to match it to your teenager\u2019s wants in terms of comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Surprise them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your kid is into Harry Styles, frame its Watermelon Sugar cover album, if they are into gaming, get them a new gaming chair, if they are into girly stuff get them a pink lazy bag, etc. Basically, just surprise them with something you know they\u2019ll love. They will be thrilled and more ready to compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Carpets and drapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve covered the furniture and agreed on something you both think is \u201cvibing\u201d, it\u2019s time to go for carpets and drapes. Keep in mind that your teenager will get to do the decoration part all by themselves, so once you get the gist of that part, you can propose carpets and drapes accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Don\u2019t forget that zoomers will rule the universe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A bold statement, but a true one nonetheless. Their time is coming and it could likely be even more challenging than ours is, so give the support. If they want to do graffiti on their wall, let them. After all your parents allowed you to do that audiotape cobweb on your ceiling, remember? Embarrassing I know, but that was once you. Being an adult doesn\u2019t necessarily mean being stiff. Loosen up a bit and trust your teenager\u2019s tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
