Your little girl is growing up, and her room no longer fits. It's time for a makeover! - Giving kids a budget and letting them make the decisions on what to buy can be a great learning experience. A color palate for the room will help guide her decisions.
- For more outlandish tastes, an accent wall is a good compromise (figure A).
- Area rugs give old carpet a new look. New furniture should be practical and space-saving, while window treatments can show creative flair (figure B).
- You'll want special comfort zones for homework (figure C) and for relaxing...with ample storage so her room stays neat.
- Pillows, wall art and sensory accents like a lighted air freshener will make this a space she will love to call home.
Web Extras: - Setting a budget and allowing her to make choices will help teach your teen financial responsibility and discipline. This will be good training for when she has a house of her own.
- Provide ample storage space throughout the room. You will be surprised how much cleaner the room is when there are places for frequently used items to go.
- Use furniture to create private space and comfort zones within the room. As long as it's well thought out, the space does not have to be huge.
