Having a teenage hangout room isn't something that is as common as it once was, but with a few creative ideas, you can make your kids' favorite place in the house into a space that will be cherished by all. Here are a few of our favorite ideas to inspire you to create the ultimate teen hangout room.
RH Teen's trundle bed
Getting the right furniture for your teenage hangout room is important. You want to make sure it's a colorful, fun room that will help your teen feel comfortable. It's also important to have seating options. If you're looking for cheap ideas, consider hanging chairs and beanbag chairs.
If you're looking for a way to add a cool edgy touch to your teen's room, consider using a curved bed frame. This type of bed makes it easy to customize your design and create a cool arch.
A fun, patterned rug can brighten up a small bedroom. You can also use a textured throw blanket to seal in the space and add a youthful, cheerful color.
Another great idea is to have a large wall collage, and pin all the important reminders on it. You can also hang a bunch of frames to display teen art. This can be a great inexpensive way to display a teen's favorite pieces.
Make it interactive
Creating a fun and interactive teenage hangout room can be a lot of fun. It can also be a challenging task, though. There are many elements to keep in mind. These include space, color, games, and storage.
The first thing to think about is what types of activities your teen likes. Some of these include board games, video games, and reading. If your teen is more of a DIY type, he or she may appreciate a craft station.
Once you've chosen your activities, you can get to work on the design of the room. Your teen's input will help make the finished product better. Your teen's personality will also help guide your decisions.
For example, a teen who loves reading could create a reading nook. Alternatively, a teen who loves beauty might have a dedicated makeup station. This space should have a good amount of storage, mirrors, and lighting.
Adding fun accents to the room will add character. You can decorate the wall with chalk or dry erase paint to create a playful ambiance. You can also buy a lighted bulletin board to post notes and photos. You can even use a patterned wallpaper to add a design touch.
