When decorating a teen bedroom, the color scheme sets the tone. A new neutral can serve as a mellow backdrop, while brilliant hues, patterns and contrasts bring the room to life. Teens often like trendy, bright or dramatic color combinations, so devote an accent wall or some key pieces in their favorite hues while keeping larger pieces neutral so that you do not need to repaint and purchase everything when your teenager’s tastes shift. In general, consider paint colors and finishes for the walls first, and then complement or accent with bedding, window treatments, floor covering, artwork and furnishings. Keep in mind that colors can also highlight design assets and camouflage design problems. Use lighter, cooler hues to give a bedroom interior the illusion of more volume, and warmer, more intense hues to make the space feel more intimate.
