How is the room of your growing up son decorated? Nothing reminiscent of her about the former nursery? This is already good. But how often happens that after a grand renovation and rearrangements the boy’s room of a teenager turns out to be well-equipped, functional, but … faceless.

A cheerful bright child is for younger boys, a bedroom and a workplace is too dull, is it a teenager who has his own room dreams about it? So what should it be?

And you need to push off from a dream. There are no incompetent boys, there are those who are not repentant, who have not found their cause, or who have not dared to engage in what is interesting. Let the design of the room reflect the entrainment of the boy-teenager and at the same time create an atmosphere in which he can improve, realize his ideas.

To give the teenage boy’s room expressiveness, it is necessary to design it in a certain style – sea, safari, techno …

The styles of the interior are huge. You can skip the magazines devoted to design for a long time, but you can not decide on the solution, do not come to a common opinion. At the same time, this choice can be very simplified. Ideas gushing the river, the whole family will be involved in the creative process and more – the future owner of the new room, your teenage boy, who has the opportunity to create his own world.

To begin with, you need a little – you need a chip. A highlight of design.

Chip

We will proceed from the fact that boys without hobbies do not exist. Sometimes there are too many interests, sometimes, on the contrary, a teenager is fixated on one topic, hardly distracted by all that needs to be done simply because it is necessary.

To determine what is most important for a son is very simple. What is the most difficult to distract him from? Criticism of what his hobbies, he takes especially acute? It does not matter if he reached a high level in this case. Today, maybe he is only at the beginning of the road to excellence in boxing or dreaming of a yacht that is not yet available, but models of ships and books have made all the shelves. Sports and travel, guitar and chess, computer (as without it) and architecture – the list of hobbies teenagers can continue indefinitely. Boys, they are so different, and it’s wonderful.

“In the teen’s room, in contrast to the younger boys’ rooms, one should avoid theatrical stylization.”

It is enough to know what a teenager is willing to devote to all his time and – here it is, a chip that will make the boy’s room unique. A guitar on the wall, shelves of picturesquely battered old skateboards, a boxing pear in the center of the room, an old-fashioned bookcase littered with wise volumes (if a botanist is in the house), a model of a yacht, a synthesizer – any of these objects can become an expressive accent that organizes space.

It is worth finding a chip, as soon as the style is tightened, and there are special features of the decor, decorative elements, color solution.

Interior Style

Modern interior styles, which are most appropriate when decorating a room for a teenage boy:

1. For athletes: avant-garde, loft, high-tech;
2. For seekers of sacred truths and admirers of oriental cultures – ethnics: oriental, Japanese, African, Egyptian;
3. For technicians, computer programmers – avant-garde, high-tech, constructivism;
4. For travelers – African (safari), sea;
5. For artistic natures, musicians: avant-garde, kitsch, loft.

The above list is not exhaustive, but I think it will help generate your own ideas.

Some modern styles deserve special attention, because they help create a unique atmosphere, make the room of a teenage boy truly cool, unique in its kind. Buddies will be appreciated!

Vanguard

The avant-garde style arose as a daring challenge to the classic idea of ​​the aesthetics of the interior. Functionality instead of embellishment, experiment and unexpected solutions instead of routine. Preference is given to large geometric shapes, rather than small details. Vanguard greets pure colors: white, black, red, yellow, green, as well as contrasting combinations of several colors, amplifying the dynamics, the expression of the room of a teenage boy. And in contrast, not only walls, ceiling and furniture can be made, but, for example, the sections of one of the walls can be painted in juicy contrasting colors.

Furniture should carry the idea of ​​experimentation. In the forefront, unimaginable constructions and non-standard solutions that are subordinate to rationality are permissible, and not an empty desire for originality. Suitable hanging beds, shapeless soft armchairs, filing cabinets, rotating shelves.

The avant-garde style allows not only to create a comfortable space. Guys who are addicted to technology, computers, can show themselves as bold designers. Athletes in this room will also be comfortable – the simulators perfectly fit into the functional design of the avant-garde.

Loft

The loft style originated in New York, in the forties of the 20th century, when abandoned buildings of factories and warehouses adapted to housing. Specific industrial parts – beams, pipelines, brick or concrete walls gave such premises a hard original color.

The basic principle of the loft is a large open space, barely filled with the necessary furniture. Bright, soft furniture, knickknacks and puffs contrast with the groomed wall surface. A special glamor is a rough brickwork. Welcome metal, glass, plastic.

A loft-style room is the dream of almost every modern teenage boy. It can become an organic habitat for both sporting young men and for artistic natures – artists and musicians.

High tech

Exquisite style of the era of the great 60’s. Inspired by the ideas of conquering space, conquering the worlds, technological progress. Interior in high-tech style is laconic and functional. What is important for teenage boys is that it is easy to keep such a room clean. There are no decorative elements, the surface of furniture and walls is perfectly smooth, often shiny. There are no restrictions on the color, but traditionally the preference is given to cool colors. And no drawings on the walls or textiles.

Ideally fits into this style furniture is a clear geometric shape, lightweight, comfortable, with chrome-plated metal legs, artificial leather upholstery. Instead of cabinets it is better to use racks.

Modern sports equipment can successfully fit into the interior of high-tech. We can assume that such a laconic style will appeal not only to athletes, but also to “botanists”, technicians, computer programmers, who do not like to be distracted by something.

African style

This is one of their ethnic styles, ideal for a teenage room that raves about the travels and magical rites of African tribes.

Also, this style, which is also called “safari”, will appeal to animal lovers. In the interior there are images of exotic animals – in the wallpaper drawing, in sculptures and paintings. Textiles with “predatory” prints imitate the skin of a zebra, a leopard, a tiger. In the color range of the safari style – all shades of brown, from almost black wenge to sand. The furniture is very light and simple, wooden or wicker. And an indispensable attribute of such a room is an intimidating ritual mask.

Sea style

For children caught in the romance of sea travel, you can recommend the sea style. Marine style involves the use of ship attributes. In this case, organically look bunk beds or division of the room into “cabins”, which makes it especially preferable for the room in which two teenage boys live.

A room in a marine style is often performed in a color scheme:

• Brown, blue, white;
• Blue, white, dark red;
• Blue, white, golden.

Welcome: dark wood, ropes, shiny metal fittings, chains, grilles, marine attributes. But here you need a sense of proportion. In the teenager’s room, in contrast to younger boys, one should avoid theatrical stylization.

Kitsch

If the teenager insists on absolutely incompatible furniture and decoration, this is not a reason for panic – boldly draw up your boy’s kitsch-style room. The idea of ​​kitsch is a mockery of rules, artistic traditions and styles. Bad taste, erected in principle, in itself becomes an original style – rebellious, relaxed, not without irony.

The color palette welcomes any saturated, poisonous, neon colors, sharp contrasts, even gilding. In fact, kitsch are citations of various historical styles, united in a single whole. And in order to design a single idea, an artistic taste and sense of proportion are needed. In order to avoid variegation, as the simplest technique, one can advise dividing the difference fragments by black or white planes of walls and floor.

In fact, artistically gifted natures will most likely stop their choice on the kitsch style. You can safely entrust the design of the room to the teenager – the boys intuitively feel this aesthetics, it is very appropriate for their age.

Constructivism

A room in the style of constructivism is a perfectionist’s paradise. This design is suitable for teenagers, who tend to classify and organize everything. Maximum space, minimum of furniture. No small decor. Rational storage systems, well thought-out ergonomics. Compactness and simple forms of furniture are combined with eccentricity and asymmetry in interior design. Bold accents are very important to make the room look stylish.

Sportsmen in such an interior will be, perhaps, quite spacious, and lovers of thoughtful intellectual pursuits like ergonomic solutions, a comfortable workplace.

Functionality of the room of a boy-teenager

It is important that the teenager in his room were created all the conditions to do his favorite business, study and fully rest. Three zones are standardized:

1. Work zone;
2. Sleeping area;
3. Rest zone.

Rest areas for boys are very individual. For some it’s a sport, then a sports corner with simulators, for others – books, for others – a chair with a floor lamp, for a third – music, then you need to allocate space for a synthesizer and a powerful music center.

The sleeping area in the boy’s room is never accented, it is purely functional. If the area of ​​the room is small, boldly use the beds on the second tier, for example, over the desk, either pushed out from under the podium or flipped from the cabinet.

The work area, as a rule, is intended for both study and for doing the favorite thing – modeling, reading, computer.

Color and light

Whichever style of interior you stay, you can always choose the right color scheme, which is in tune with the tastes and mood of a teenager. Bright colors fuel energy, awaken enthusiasm, dark, deaf – inspire calmness and confidence, bright – have to mobility and a positive perception of reality.

Popular colors of the guys and their combination – blue, gray, deep blue, brown, green, purple. The contrast of black and white – a classic, which allows you to make the interior of the room modern, stylish and brutal. Brown and orange, the style of safari, adds warmth and coziness, gray and lemon-yellow – elegance. Aggressive red? Why not, in reasonable quantities. The main thing is that the room is not dull.

An infinitely rich choice of colors is due to the fact that the design principles of the teen’s room are the same as in the “adult” interior.

Lighting the room, in addition to its utilitarian purpose, can help in the zoning of the room of a teenage boy. Local spotlight near the bed, a floor lamp or a low chandelier by the armchair, a quality lamp in the workplace – each zone will have its own atmosphere. And, of course, you need a soft, diffuse general lighting. Lamps always attract attention, they can be a stylish element of decor.

Natural light is extremely important, but dense curtains or blinds on windows are necessary for peace and solitude.

Flooring

Floor coverings of various types – parquet, laminate, linoleum or ceramic tiles – are selected in accordance with the chosen style. For example, the marine style and looks good with a dark wooden parquet. Safari is expressively supplemented with ceramic tiles of natural color – it is very fashionable, and high-tech – tiles made of porcelain stoneware. Constructivism easily coexists with linoleum. We must take into account and hobbies. If a teenager in the room had prescribed weights and a bar, ceramics and linoleum for floor covering would not work, only wood or carpet.

Furniture

When choosing furniture, you should pay attention to storage systems. Racks with small cells and drawers are preferable to shelf cabinets – they are easier to maintain order.

The main thing in the workplace is ergonomics. All the necessary must be at hand. A sufficient number of shelves and drawers will save from chaos.

Design of a room for two teenagers

If two teenagers live in the room, then the space should be divided equally. Boys are ambitious and fiercely defending their interests, therefore it is necessary to approach the division of the square carefully, on the basis of a common agreement.

If space is not enough, the layout can be optimized:

1. Combine the sleeping area, usually in this case use bunk beds;
2. Instead of two cabinets use one, symmetrically divided into two;
3. Working areas are placed close to each other, or use one rather long desktop instead of two;
4. Part of the shelves replaced by shelves;
5. Combine the recreation area.

It is important that at the same time each of them has his own untouched territory, personal space, the boundaries of which are clearly delineated. It is desirable nevertheless to arrange the room in the same style.

 Interior of a small room

If the room is not designed for two, but for one teenage boy, but it is too small, the question of optimizing the layout is not less acute. It is necessary to determine what pieces of furniture can be combined in one area:

1. Table and shelves above it;
2. Folding bed and rack (cabinet);
3. Compact sofa instead of bed;
4. Capacious drawers under the curtain;
5. A table and a bed above it;
6. Workplace on the podium and a roll-out bed under it.

Choosing the design of a small room, pay attention to the avant-garde, constructivism, maritime style, within their framework it is easy to realize the combination of zones and non-standard solutions.

Design of a teenager’s room from 12 to 18 years

Adolescence is a short but intense period. The room of a 12-year-old boy and 18-year-old boy can not differ, but they also have common features.

By the age of 12, the teenager already has a hobby, so in the design of the room you can start from his hobby. The boy will choose the style of the room, furniture, the color of the walls with his parents.

14 years – the age of the search for idols. There is no doubt that posters of your favorite group or football club of a teenage boy will decorate the walls of the room, so you can wait with the choice of expensive expressive wallpaper.

18-year-olds, as a rule, have already decided on the choice of the cause of life, have achieved success in their hobbies, understand modern trends in design. At this age, adolescents themselves determine how they would like to see the interior of their room, and take an active part in the implementation of the project.

When you design a room for a teenage boy, you have the opportunity to express your imagination. Feel free to accept and develop creative ideas, get acquainted with the best examples of interior design. A stylish room for a young man is not just housing, but a zone of psychological comfort, a source of energy and a place for communication, where friends are willing to gather.
