Provide plenty of storage

Storage is essential in a teenager's bedroom. In this multifunctional girl's bedroom, a mounted shelving unit with colourful storage boxes abover the 'chill-out' zone is great for clearing away clutter, while the desk unit provides a useful mix of closed and open storage.

Utilise floor space

A versatile wooden bed with a desk below is key to utilising limited floor space in this boy's bedroom, so it's ideal for smaller spaces. The wood looks great against a rich blue backdrop, while funky curtains and modern furniture add a retro edge.

Let them personalise their space

Keep walls neutral to allow for different tastes as children grow into young adults, but keep the place looking fun and alive with personalised touches. Hang bunting overhead for a playful feel, and add interest to the walls with framed pictures and photos.
