Curtain options for a teenage boy's room: design and photos

According to many designers, curtains are the soul of the interior. Indeed, without a window frame, the interior seems unfinished. That is why the choice of curtains should be approached responsibly. Adolescence is fun, but incredibly difficult. This is a time of emotions, a lot of impressions, an exaggerated sense of self-esteem. It is advisable if the child himself takes an active part in creating the interior of his room. At the same time, your son may well wish for black thick curtains or some incredible curtains with images of vampires, bats and other evil spirits. It seems to be useless to convince others, but it is quite possible to direct a teenager’s choice in the right direction. We offer you a selection of photos with ideas for decorating curtains for a teenage boy’s room.

We bring to your attention a selection of photos of the most interesting ideas for decorating boys' rooms.

Girl's room

At the age of 12–15 years, girls try to be as much like adult women as possible, but at heart they still remain children - with their unrealizable dreams and sad experiences, romantic thoughts and the desire to have a place where they could hide from the whole world. Therefore, you should not make their room emotionally cold - use strict silhouettes and the same colors. This is especially true for the window, because this part of the room always attracts the eye and largely sets the tone for the entire decoration.

What to choose?

There are several curtain options that you can use:

• Blinds - it is desirable that they be vertical. Many people associate horizontal ones with the office and do not allow them to fully relax while at home.
• Tulle - if the room does not face the east side and is not located on the first floor of an apartment building, it is quite possible to do without thick curtains. Transparent gathered tulle gives a feeling of freedom, lightness, ease, and promotes a good mood.
• Curtains made of soft flowing fabrics. In a children's room, heavy, bulky curtains that reach the length of the floor would be superfluous: firstly, they collect a lot of dust, which the child will breathe, and secondly, they create a oppressive, uncomfortable atmosphere.

Of course, the choice should be based on the overall style of the interior.

Color spectrum

The most popular color for curtains in a girl's room is pink. However, if earlier it could be bright and saturated, now it is worth choosing more muted tones. And not only because they attract less attention, which means they will not distract the child from school and other important matters. From a psychological point of view, pastel shades have a positive effect on an overexcited nervous system (and in adolescence, almost all parents observe excessive emotionality in their daughters).

However, not everyone likes pink. Therefore, it is not forbidden to use other colors - for example, yellow, green, lilac. They can be either alone or combined with each other or with other tones - gray, white, mint, beige, peach, blue. By the way, you can combine not only according to the color principle. A window in a children's room looks modern and stylish when each of the two curtains is made of material that has the same thickness and texture, but a different color. They are hung on a two-slat cornice and assembled so that the panels cross.

Requirements for curtains in a boy's room

Boys love active and noisy games. Therefore, when choosing curtains for a teenager’s room, you should think about their practicality. The tulle should be strong and easy to clean.

Here is a small list of requirements that curtains for a teenage boy’s room must meet:

• durable material. The fabric must be resistant to tears and snags;
• long service life. The paints of the product must be resistant to sunlight and not subject to fading;
• ease of operation. The easier the curtains are to close and open, the less likely it is that the boy will tear them off;
• natural material. This will minimize your son's allergies.

Protection function

Children's curtains should protect the boy from bright sunlight and the glare of night lights. Remember that a child’s eyes are much more sensitive, so the degree of protection for children must be given due attention.

Aesthetic function

In order for the curtains to look beautiful, they must go well with both the pattern and color of the wallpaper, and with the design of the nursery as a whole.

Important nuances when choosing textiles for a teenager’s room

Curtains should:

• be durable. Believe me, even the calmest boy sometimes experiences a surge of strength and energy that needs to be immediately released. Therefore, it is better to choose stronger fabric and to nail the cornice more reliably. In this case, the ideal option is curtains with eyelets.
• easy to clean. Of course, the teenager is already past the age when he needs to be reminded to wash his hands. But the option “I forgot!” is still in effect, and it is not surprising that the curtains in a boy's room can be used to wipe down a computer monitor.
• be easy to manage. Teenagers are extremely busy people, and they simply don’t have time to tinker with complex tiebacks or strings. Don't want your son's room to look untidy because the curtain is always askew? Choose the simplest design.
• long or short? For a teenager's room, it is better to choose short curtains. It is unlikely that you will decorate a boy’s nursery in the style of a lush baroque or elaborate empire style. The priority is modern style, and short curtains are simply created for modern times.

How to choose

So, when choosing curtains you need to take into account many different nuances.

Room lighting and curtain color

The level of lighting in the bedroom affects the choice of fabric. If the boy's bedroom is located on the north side, choose light, transparent or translucent curtains. After all, heavy curtains can make a room that is already practically devoid of sunlight completely dark and gloomy.

Conversely, a bedroom located on the south side can be darkened with thick curtains. The quality of the fabric should also be taken into account. It should not attract dust, and it should not contain aggressive dyes.

The color of the curtains is chosen in a similar range to the furniture and textiles, 1-2 tones lighter or darker than the interior of the children's room. But everything is very individual. For example, if the main part of the boy’s bedroom is made in a bright style, then the curtains can be chosen in muted shades, adding the necessary contrast. Conversely, fabric in rich colors will add fresh, bright colors and an appropriate mood to a calm interior.

Often parents allow their child to choose curtains for their room on their own. And even if the color chosen by the boy does not match the interior of the bedroom, there is no need to hinder the child’s self-expression. You can simply add suitable elements: an armchair, bedspreads, paintings and more.

Choice of design and color

Let your child come up with the design and color of the curtains for the room on their own. Trying to do what is best, adults often neglect the opinion of the little owner of the room, but it is he who will spend more time in this space. The boy’s parents can help choose curtains for a teenager’s room by selecting examples of photo designs.

It is desirable that the decor on the windows fits into the overall design of the room and does not contradict it. Therefore, it is worth deciding in advance on the theme of the room, based on the teenager’s preferences.

Sports interior

Many boys become interested in sports during their school years. Try to emphasize this in your room design. For this you will need a special decor:

• balls;
• grids;
• places for cups, diplomas and medals.

In the decor you can use balls, nets and allocate places for sports trophies.
Curtains for such an interior can be either neutral or bright, echoing other decorative elements.

We use sports-themed prints in the decor. It can be:

• ball-shaped chairs;
• photo wallpaper;
• carpets;
• pillows and more.

This style allows for the use of brighter colors in the decor.

The sporty style allows for the presence of bright colors in the design.

Creative style

A room for a creative teenager is complete freedom of imagination. Such a child will happily voice ideas for decorating the space. It is important to support his creativity and try to translate it into the interior.

Leave the background in the room neutral, in light or dark colors. Add brightness using:

• individual pieces of furniture (poufs, sofas, etc.);
• posters;
• photographs;
• carpets

Curtains for a room in this style can be dark, two-tone or, conversely, light and as neutral as possible. It all depends on the big picture.

Curtains can be made dark and neutral.

Marine design

Younger teenagers often dream of sea adventures, so we use this theme to decorate the nursery’s interior. This style is characterized by all shades of blue and blue. Nets, prints with anchors and waves.

All shades of blue and blue are suitable for a marine-style room.

If desired, you can create an entire pirate ship in the room.

Curtains for such an interior will be light-colored with a finish that matches the rest of the decorative elements.

Curtains for a room in a nautical style will be light-colored with a nautical-themed finish.

Unusual solutions for curtains look interesting. Ropes, anchors and strips.

Other types of design

For the rooms of older teenagers we use modern interior styles:

• high tech;
• loft;
• kitsch;
• minimalism;
• Scandinavian style.

Modern interior styles are suitable for older teenagers.
It depends on the character of the young man in what space he will feel comfortable:

1. High-tech style is characterized by an abundance of glass and metal. We hang curtains that are light and weightless.
2. Loft is a combination of raw wall surfaces and modern furniture. When choosing fabric for window textiles, we give preference to natural materials and try to avoid bright colors. The use of heavier curtains is allowed.
3. Kitsch will seem like a nightmare for every adult, but young people love bright colors. Here we boldly combine incompatible things; the more colorful the interior, the better. But we leave the base (floor and walls) neutral, adding spots in the form of posters and paintings. You can experiment with curtains; bright and unusual ones will fit perfectly into the overall picture.
4. Minimalism speaks for itself, let’s limit ourselves to a minimum of details. The colors in the room are neutral, the curtains are the simplest and lightest.
5. Scandinavian style is still relevant. These are bright spaces with light furniture, natural materials and light tulle.

The main thing is that the curtains fit into the overall style of the room and do not take all the attention to themselves.

Kinds

Textile stores are simply overflowing with various types of curtains for a boy’s bedroom. Therefore, parents will not have problems with their choice.

Roller

Roller or roller blinds for a boy's room are a very popular option. Such curtains can be matched to almost any nursery design. They also have high wear resistance.

Roller blinds provide good protection of the room from the penetration of sunlight. They can be used as an independent element or in combination with other curtains.

Corrugated

Corrugated or pleated curtains are a relatively new type of light-protective structures. Pleated is a fabric whose operating principle is similar to an accordion. There are both horizontal and vertical configurations.

The material is usually fabric or paper, which is pre-impregnated with a solution that can protect the canvas from fading. At the same time, we note that the composition of the liquid is harmless to people.

Roman

Roman blinds are a fashionable solution when decorating a boy’s teenage room. They are a rectangular canvas, pierced along the entire length by horizontal strips.

It is mounted on a stationary cornice, and opening or closing occurs using a built-in lift. Roman blinds in a boy's nursery are a convenient option if you plan to install a desk near the window.

Laconic

Your still small son is the future man, the head of the family. Therefore, it is advisable to select curtains in the appropriate style. There is no need to buy very delicate curtains. They should be moderately concise and a little tough. Then from childhood you will begin to accustom the boy to true masculine style.

Thematic kits

For boys with different hobbies, you can choose themed sets. Usually these are popular cartoon characters, racing cars, sports and much more.

Varieties

Among the modern abundance of design options for window openings, several of the most popular and in demand can be identified:

• London curtains, due to their design features, can easily change length. That is, they can be lowered over the entire window or raised almost to the curtain using special tapes. When raised, the curtains gather into large, soft folds, which gives additional charm and charm to these curtains.
• French curtains. This elegant, stylish and very beautiful window treatment dates back to the Middle Ages, when palaces and chambers of the nobility were decorated with such richly draped curtains. Today, such curtains can increasingly be found in modern interiors. Beautiful, expensive, light and shiny fabrics (organza, taffeta, silk) are used to sew them.
• Austrian curtains visually look like a canvas with horizontal folds at the bottom. They are of medium length and were previously called scalloped. The main purpose of such curtains is not only their decorative appeal, but also their functionality. They protect the room from cold air entering from the window. Cotton, wool and other materials are used to make them.
• Roman blinds are considered one of the most practical and inexpensive options for modern window design. They do not contain a large number of folds or complex draperies. Visually they represent a smooth, even canvas that can partially or completely cover the window. They are very compact, fit perfectly with different interior styles and harmonize with any furniture, accessories and decorative items.
• Roller blinds are a modern, stylish option for window decoration. Ideal for minimalist areas (high-tech, loft). The canvas is often complemented by a three-dimensional image, which allows you to very effectively decorate and complement the interior of the bedroom. They are made from dense, durable materials that perfectly protect the room from bright sun rays and summer heat.
• Japanese curtains differ from generally accepted models in their design. These are, rather, sliding panels for decorating window space. Most often they are used in spacious rooms with panoramic glazing.

• Swedish curtains are rarely found in bedroom interiors. They are made in a very simple and laconic design and outwardly look like a short rolled sheet with a weighting strip at the bottom.
• "Stagecoach" - elegant, pretty curtains that were used in the old days to decorate carriage windows. The curtain is raised manually and fixed in the desired position using a belt, tape, or braid.
• "Cafe". This type of curtain looks especially cute and original. The cornice is not placed under the ceiling, but approximately in the middle of the window space. Small, light curtains are hung on it, which allow you to hide or open the window if necessary. To cover the upper part of the window, a lambrequin made in the same style as the main curtain is often used. These curtains got their name from their purpose. In the 19th century, many European cafes used such curtains as part of their interior decoration.
• "Color Block". One of the new products of recent years. A special feature of this model is the combination of two bright, contrasting colored pieces of fabric. The color scheme is selected to match the furniture, wall or floor covering of the room.
• Bamboo curtains. An excellent option for those who prefer light, stylish curtains to traditional classic curtains. Bamboo is practical to use, does not cause allergic reactions, and does not attract dust. This option is perfect for an interior designed in the style of minimalism, Provence, oriental or eco-style.
• Country curtains are most often used in Provence or country style interiors. Light natural materials are used for sewing: chintz, linen, cotton with small flowers. Decorated with lace, braid, embroidery.
• Pleated curtains look like office blinds, but are made of dense material. Perfect for decorating small interiors. They are very compact, perfectly shade the room on a hot day, and can be fixed at different heights. They often have a special antibacterial coating.

Materials

Of course, you should choose environmentally friendly materials that will not accumulate a lot of dust and will be hypoallergenic. Linen or cotton fabric will be practical and safe for teenagers. If you still prefer artificial products, at least let their base be natural.

Shade curtains

When purchasing curtains for a boy's bedroom, it is better to choose lightweight fabrics. If you feel that curtains do not shade your bedroom well, add blinds.

Curtains and tulle to the windowsill

Short curtains are not inferior in their functions to floor-length curtains. They also shade the room well and bring their own touch of sophistication and completeness to the interior. Whether or not to buy short curtains and tulle for a boy’s nursery is a matter of taste.

If you, and most importantly, your child, like this style, why not. Textile sellers offer a huge range of curtains, so you are sure to choose the right style.

Select an option

It is not necessary to use panels of fabric to decorate a window. There are many original options, including such exotic ones as ribbons attached to the cornice. Cute tiebacks in the form of funny soft toys or a garland of small LED light bulbs will help diversify the design of classic curtains. The following types of decor will allow you to decorate the window in an interesting, unusual and convenient way for a child:

• Roman curtains. A stylish and functional option, popular in many countries. Laconic drapery made of linen, silk or bamboo is suitable for a child’s room of any age, both girls and boys.

• If you don’t know how to decorate a window in a nursery, try to do without curtains. Northern Europeans like these windows and they don't look naked. If the window faces north, or you refuse textiles so as not to collect allergens, the right decor will create the right accents. Vinyl stickers depicting your favorite characters or paper garlands are suitable for decoration; the main thing is that they let in enough light.

• At a safe height. Another idea that is loved in Europe, America, and Japan. Highly positioned curtains will not become a toy for a growing mischievous child, they will retain their original beauty, and will save parents’ nerves.

Colors and prints

Everything seems to be clear with the color of the curtains. Now let's look at the drawings and prints.

Pattern or plain colors, what combinations are good?

Remember that your boy is growing quickly. As he grows up, his preferences and tastes change. To ensure that the purchased product remains relevant for a long time, choose plain curtains without additional decorations or design solutions.

The laconic design will be relevant for a young man in a few years. But bright prints in the form of cars, cities, warriors or the starry sky will impress a boy for only a couple of years.

So, in this case, the choice of pattern or plain fabric depends on how much you are purchasing curtains for.

Furniture

When choosing furniture, use global criteria:

The main thing is to ensure safety. When purchasing furniture, choose options with rounded corners. Choose a bed that is comfortable and appropriate for the child’s height.

Look at the materials from which the furniture is made and give preference to natural ones that do not cause allergic reactions.

Avoid the possibility of injury through fragile objects and materials.

Choose furniture that is resistant to mechanical damage. Ease of repair and cleaning will make life easier.

For a teenager's sleeping area, a one-and-a-half bed is suitable, preferably with an orthopedic children's mattress. If it does not fold, then the ideal option would be drawers with a retractable mechanism, in which it is convenient to hide bedding.

A sliding wardrobe for storing clothes of a special design. In such closets, the shelves are made shallow so that the child can find the clothes he needs. For this purpose, it is better to fold clothes in rows rather than in piles.

It is better to place open shelves for storing books and notebooks, this will provide convenience when finding the right thing.

For the workplace, you should purchase a table, depending on the height of the child. If the teenager is tall, you need to buy an adult version of the table, and a chair with a height adjustment mechanism.

In the relaxation area, the child will need several chairs for visiting friends, but bean bags will replace them well, although they will not improve posture, but after guests it will not be difficult to put them in a closet and not clutter the room.

Curtain style for schoolchildren

Gradually, your son is turning from a little boy into a young man. His preferences change, including in the design of the room. In the bedroom of a school-age boy, it is recommended to use calm tones.

The curtains should not have very childish drawings that resemble a frame from a cartoon. But this does not mean that you should completely forget about prints on canvases. Such solutions are acceptable, but the drawings should be more serious: stars, planets, musical instruments.

Recommendations for combining style

A teenager's room can be decorated in a themed style based on his hobbies. For example, if your child is interested in football, display posters and logos of his favorite team. The choice of curtains will depend on the color of the furniture, walls, and textiles.

If a boy dreams of becoming a great traveler, why not let his imagination run wild and decorate the room in a bright, unusual style. In this case, curtains with a map of an island or a starry sky, where the Milky Way is indicated to the wanderer, would be appropriate.

Long or short, thick or thin

As for the length of the curtains, you can entrust the choice to your child and buy what he likes best. When choosing fabric density, the degree of illumination of the room is taken into account. We frame a dark room with light, almost transparent curtains, but a light room, on the contrary, can be shaded with thick curtains.

Interesting ideas for modern nursery design

The use of modern design solutions in the design of a children's room implies conciseness, minimalism and functionality. If you and your son are close to such trends, consider the styles of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and High-Tech.

Curtains with a laconic design would be appropriate here. Most often these are plain canvases up to the window sill. An option with a pattern in the form of vertical stripes is also possible. Also, modern design does not exclude curtains with graffiti patterns.

Style

Adolescence is a transition to a new stage of life in which personality is formed, therefore the dominant principle in its development is the desire for independence. Based on this natural given, you need to decorate his room. If the efforts made do not bring joy and satisfaction to the child, then, accordingly, they will not make his parents happy either.

What accessories and details to choose for curtains

In order for the curtains to fit harmoniously into the interior, you must carefully select all the accompanying accessories. So, it is recommended to pay attention to the following:

• Curtain holders. In stores you can find many types, including not only standard holders in the form of rings and hooks. In a boy's nursery, you can use more interesting accessories: chains, zippers, buttons and pendants.
• Pickups. Necessary for fixing the curtain in the desired position. There are also quite a lot of such accessories, so you can quickly find the elements you like in style.
• Lambrequins. They are usually used in living rooms, halls and bedrooms for adults, but not only. This element hides a dull and boring cornice that can ruin the overall appearance of the room.

For a child from 0 to 3 years old, it is better to choose...

...thick blackout curtains in pastel colors so that nothing interferes with your sleep schedule.

Keep in mind that if you want to hang long curtains or curtains with an adjustable cord, then the crib and play area should be located away from the window.

Curtains for a teenager's room

In the bedroom of teenage boys, designers recommend choosing classic curtains in solid colors. If you give preference to products with a pattern, these can be simple geometric shapes that will fit into almost any design. And, as already mentioned, be sure to give your child the opportunity to participate in choosing curtains for his room.

The most practical curtains are short

Roman, roller, cafe, short curtains will be more convenient for a child to use, and for you to wash. Complex combinations of several fabrics, with draperies and lambrequins will collect dust and complicate cleaning.

However, if you wish, you can make simple combinations: Roman blinds + curtains or tulle + curtains (pictured).

Curtains for boys

At this age, boys already know exactly what their preferences are. It is advisable to listen to their opinion. Typically, curtains for a young man’s room are chosen in the following colors: slate, silver, indigo, wheat, linen, blue and others.

Minimalism

Let's decorate a room for a teenage boy in this style with minimal use of interior details. To achieve style, you need to make the room as comfortable as possible by using things that are characteristic of the child.

For a teenage boy, the style presupposes the advantage of gray and black tones with bright splashes.

This style is suitable for modest, shy teenagers who show creative traits.

The Art Nouveau style is characterized by grace and beauty, the use of natural materials, pastel and ash colors and streamlined shapes. A universal style for any child’s preferences, the main design criterion is convenience.

A transforming table, a wardrobe, a wooden two-level bed, an abundance of framed photos, posters with your favorite actors, and designer lamps will look harmonious here.

Room for a boy 6-9 years old

At this age, boys already develop their own preferences and interests. Therefore, before making repairs and buying new curtains, consult with your son and find out what he would like to see on the curtains in his room.

At this age, children tend to give preference to products that depict their favorite cartoon characters, racing cars, and so on.

Choosing a topic for preschoolers and primary schoolchildren

Before decorating a children's room, you need to find out what the child is interested in and what characters he would like to see in his room.

If the curtains depict the boy's favorite cartoon characters or objects of interest to him, the children's room will stimulate his imagination and develop creative thinking. He will happily fall asleep, immersed in pleasant thoughts.

Most often, boys are interested in:

• cars, motorcycles, planes, trains and racing;
• Western and cowboy theme;
• pirate theme;
• marine theme (frigates, inhabitants of the underwater depths);
• sports theme (hockey, football);
• characters from your favorite cartoon or movie;
• space, spaceships and celestial bodies;
• travel theme, globe, geographical maps.

To create the desired curtain design, select a fabric with a suitable pattern and decorate it with elements corresponding to the theme. Curtains in nautical and pirate styles can be complemented with tulle in the form of a fishing net. Shells, fish and artificial algae are sewn onto it. The canvases are decorated with decorative ropes and anchors. They can be sewn on top or embroidered.

For space design, fabrics with images of celestial objects and spaceships are selected. They can be supplemented with glow-in-the-dark stickers by placing them on the cornice and ceiling.

Curtains for a boy's children's room in a cowboy style are decorated with fringe made of material that imitates leather.

You can prepare several curtains for holidays with appropriate patterns. Replacing the curtains will give the boy a storm of emotions.

It is better if the design of the curtains is clear to the baby. The canvases can be decorated with animals, cars, letters, geometric shapes or numbers.

Baby room

For very young boys who have just been born, it is necessary to choose products in calm, pastel colors. For babies, curtains in blue, green and blue colors are suitable. You can dilute them with the help of accessories and additional elements in brown, plum and beige shades.

Hi-tech

This style is laconic, filled with functional furniture, distinguished by cool color shades and metallic shine of details.

The interior is suitable for teenagers who prefer virtual life on the computer to reality, technology connoisseurs and sports connoisseurs.

Room for a child 3-5 years old

When choosing a curtain design for a child's room for a boy who is only 3-5 years old, it is important to take into account the design and interior of the bedroom. After all, at this age the child is still too young to make his own choice.

As a rule, light natural fabrics are chosen. As for colors, they try to match the style of the room: light, pastel, blue, gray and others. At the same time, both solid-color options and products with prints are possible.

Age of a teenage boy

Now there will be an interesting maneuver:

I will describe the design features of a teenage room for boys of different ages, but I will start with interiors for those who are older (16 years old) and then reach those who are younger (12 years old). And there is a reason for this, which you will understand in the end.

If you haven’t read the material “Children’s Room for a Boy,” check it out, there are a lot of cool photos there.

At the same time, there will be examples of boyish designs, such brutal lairs of guys and all that. But you understand that the interior of a nursery at this age no longer has to reflect the gender of the child. You can also do it in a neutral style - read my material about designing a room for a teenager. There are neutral photos without gender bias. Something like this:

15-16 years old

At the age of 16, we forget about the phrase “children’s room” and already make a bedroom for a teenage boy. And we build it around a full-fledged bed with a good mattress. Not a double, of course, but a one-and-a-half-bed will suffice.

Okay, more about the layout later in the furniture section. 3 room design ideas for a teenage boy aged 16:

1. Grey, white, black are the main colors. No, it won’t be gloomy and boring because... leaving the interior will be different. In childhood, everyone likes bright colors; for young people, compatibility and balance are already important. Accent colors are added pointwise, not as finishing, and in small quantities - small details will be enough.
2. Lighting is the main decor. And I'm not talking about the top main light. Hidden LED strips in shelves, behind the bed and behind the table; single-color yellow garlands; wall sconces; floor lamps in industrial and hi-tech style - these things can turn an ordinary interior into the dream of any teenage boy.
3. High-quality single-color textiles. Bed linen and curtains are now needed by adults and without any drawings or patterns. I would take blackout curtains for a teenage boy’s room (completely light-proof). In general, read my 2 materials about a Bedroom in a modern style and a Bedroom in a minimalist style - there are many ideas there that you can borrow.

After voicing these 3 things seem obvious. But most make the design as if it were for a child or some elderly man, and not a 16-year-old guy.

14 years

The most unstable period for a teenage boy. Interests change every day, the toys you loved yesterday are no longer of interest, they are already starting to think about fashion, although ideas about it are strange, to put it mildly. Difficult.

A teenage boy’s room ceases to be a children’s room at the age of 14

Therefore, it is important to understand the idea here: I would be guided by the same principles as for 15-16 years old

I would be guided by the same principles as for 15-16 years old.

12 years

Let's start right away with photos of rooms for boys 12 years old:

They are quite different: different colors, different furniture, different approach. That's why I arranged them in this order. It will not be possible to painlessly transform such a nursery into a teenager’s room.

Ready to redo the renovation in 2-4 years? Therefore, if he is now 12, then it is time to leave the nursery and arrange it in a normal adult style. You can redo it for every age, but I am a supporter of doing it right away with high quality and for a long time.

If you really want a themed children's room, choose long-lasting options: Star Wars and space in general, comics, sports, cars (not cars).

And don’t take these small beds of incomprehensible size, for which there are no good mattresses.

How to care?

A huge advantage of Roman blinds is their ease of care due to the use of dust-repellent materials. The easiest way is to clean them dry, using a specially selected brush, and remove stains that appear with special pencils and stain removers.

If washing seems necessary, do it in accordance with the requirements set forth by this type of material. First of all, this concerns the temperature of the water and the detergents used in the process. Wash the most delicate items only with special detergents, in a gentle wash mode and without spinning.

Purpose

When choosing curtains for any room, you need to have a clear idea of ​​what tasks they should solve. The ideal combination of useful qualities is the creation of comfort (or at least a beneficial addition to the interior style) and reliable protection from inappropriately bright sunlight. The first quality is achieved automatically, because any curtains, be it fabric or any other material, create the impression of comfort and a feeling of home, so all that remains is to correctly fit them into the interior.

If we talk about the second quality, then when choosing, you need to start from the degree of natural light in the room. For rooms with windows facing east or west, choose the densest options that can protect the room from a really large amount of excess light, but in all other cases you should choose more transparent materials, otherwise dense twilight will become a constant occurrence in the bedroom.

In a teenager’s room, the emphasis is usually not placed on curtains - on the contrary, they are, albeit bright, but just an addition to the consistent design style. However, you can give them increased aesthetics by additionally decorating the fabric with fringe, tassels, and so on. Complete harmony between meeting the style requirements and the needs of the owner of the room is achieved through combination with other elements. For example, if curtains clearly suit the appearance of the room, but are not able to protect it from excessive natural light on their own, combine them with blinds. The variety of varieties of modern curtains allows you to choose the best option and even combine several of them at once to achieve a satisfactory effect.

How to organize space?

Sleeping area

The bed or sofa must be suitable for the child's height. Children grow quickly, and therefore it may be more economical to buy a sleeping place just for an adult. The choice also depends on the style of the interior. For example, metal options are ideal for loft, and wood products are ideal for modern.

Many children's rooms in apartment buildings have a small area. Therefore, furniture should be as functional as possible, i.e., perform several tasks at the same time. The loft bed combines a sleeping area, a study area, and storage space for books, toys, and educational supplies.

Study area

The study area is a must-have for a teenage child. It consists of a desk, a comfortable chair, suitable for height and with the ability to adjust the height, and a computer. There must be additional lighting. The study area should also be equipped with plenty of shelves and drawers to keep everything you need within reach.

Storing things

There is a stereotype that boys are less neat than girls. This is wrong. It all depends on the upbringing and character of the child. If a child is accustomed to order from childhood, then he will behave the same way in adulthood.

In order not to grow up a slob, the room should always be equipped with places to store things. Then cleaning will not take much time.

Place of rest and hobby

Every child has a favorite activity to which he devotes most of his free time. You need to make room in the room for hobbies. This could be a sports corner or music complex, an easel with a paint cabinet, a bookcase, etc.

Teen Room Design Ideas

The simplest, timeless solution for decorating a teenager’s room is reliable thick curtains that protect the room well from the sun and are in harmony with the overall tone of the room. This solution is optimal because it fits any of the modern design styles, the main thing is not to overdo it with unnecessary details.

Creativity is perhaps the only hobby that in adolescence requires bright colors to excite imagination. Thanks to this, you can even address common themes for children and young people - for example, the theme of superheroes saving the world.

Marine style is aimed at those who like to dream, so simple, everyday solutions are basically inappropriate here. Curtains of the “cafe” design can perfectly emphasize the overall atmosphere, inflating from the slightest draft, like sails, and creating an overall romantic mood.
