Bed Footboards
A footboard can consist of any piece of furniture you like. A portable bar, chest or dresser will become the centerpiece for friends to gather and talk.

It will also keep clean up to a minimum by designating one area to hang out.
Simple Window Treatments
Roman shades are definitely in with the teens. They are strict, modern, and space-saving. They also provide that needed privacy with remote control or cord and cleat operation. They can also add a needed burst of color or texture where needed. If draperies are desired, keep them neat and straightforward. Stay away from outlandish designs and make sure that they are easy to open and close. Today’s teens aren’t looking for perfect design as much as function when it comes to window treatments.

Vertical Writing Areas
Having an area for study is functional. However, no teen wants to be reminded of work unless it is necessary. Pick a corner that is as far away from sleep and entertaining as possible. This space only needs to be 3 to 4 feet wide for setting up a counter or chair. Use the wall above for storage with square cubicles or shelves. You can even upgrade your bookshelves with a fresh coat of paint. This is a way to add a pop of color to the wall. The study will be there when needed, but away from the relaxation of a bedroom.

Fur and Shag Rugs
Okay, don’t admit it, but fur and shag is a favorite to teens. The warm and luxurious feel underfoot brings comforting thoughts. Select a rug that is plain in black or white or a stand out neon color. You will never be sorry as you step out of bed and onto this luscious fuzzy rug. A favorite color or design can also be used if your room needs some dressing up. If you’re really feeling the need for snuggling, pick up a couple of soft, furry pillows as well.
Organizational Options
Closet doors don’t have to be drab and boring. Replacing your closet door with a decorative option is a great way to update any bedroom. For a rustic chic look, add a sliding barn door and paint it with a pop of color. This will add both color and texture to the room–while also hiding away the contents of your closet. Adjustable shelves are also great for adding needed space for books, electronics, and gizmos that are always getting lost. By making shelves different sizes, they can easily fit any need. Containers, baskets and portable carts also come in useful for clearing away items while organizing.
