You can come up with some of the coolest decorating ideas for teens and tweens in the world and get shot down by your girl so fast it will make your head swirl! It's a fact, our ideas of perfect teenage decor and our little lady's vision of the coolest bedroom on the block don't always mesh.
Throw those conflicts and the lack of selection in cool comforters and bedding for teens and you're left with one more option: come up with some modern ideas for working with bedding collections that may work for an adult bedroom, but can be converted into bedding for teens with a little imagination and tweaking.
Take the set of black and white toile bedding in the pictures above and show it to your teen. She's not going to think that the decor is very cool at all, my friend. The busy, old fashioned wallpaper might be enough to make a young girl scream that her friends will ridicule her.
However, if you take that same black and white toile comforter and:
- Add a silky red satin bedskirt
- Throw some black and red faux fur accent pillows on the duvet cover
- Paint the wooden bed with glossy black enamel paint
- Hang a modern black chandelier or add some funky black lamps
- Consider some oriental black lacquer chests for clothing storage or hard black plastic modular furniture
- Add black metallic shades as window treatments
You may just change your teen's mind about a black and white toile bedroom design. By changing out the accessories and formal black and white toile window treatments in the picture, you got the elegant French toile comforter that you loved. Compromises will pay off from time to time in the realm of tween bedroom decorating ideas!
