Tween and teens can have a mind of their own and you may not be of the same mind when it comes to decorating a bedroom – in fact you may be just about out of your mind over the crazy choices and kooky colors they love and you know will be out of style before the paint even dries. Don’t paint yourself into a corner when decorating a teen or tween bedroom – there are some easy solutions. Anyone who has ever taken paint to a roller knows it’s a lot of work and plus you have to consider resale – what happens when its time to sell. Probably that moody purple or monster green will scare off potential buyers and that just won’t do. The answer is simple – limit your child’s choices to textiles like bedding, throw rugs, pillows and drapes which can all be changed in minutes. Teenage bedding can be wacky but who cares when you can redecorate in a flash.

What are the hot looks in teenage bedding anyway? Well much like clothing, brand names are big – Roxy and Quiksilver are popular along with licensed sports and team bedding, looks which are all pretty palatable. Of course teens love things like zebra prints, skulls, monsters, guitars and the whole urban look, Goth, vampire and tattoo art styles…the sort of looks that give you nightmares! That’s why places like Bed Bath & Beyond are a real help. You can find all sorts of stylish teenage bedding looks and you can even shop online with your kids and make it fun while exercising some parental authority over what’s hot and what’s not.

Some hot ideas are quilts and comforters because getting a teenager to make the bed each morning is a dream that probably won’t come true but just about anyone can pull it together quickly with a comforter. Since teens are all about change, look for reversible quilts or comforters to get more bang for your buck (it’s also a good way to get more use out of a trendy print if the reverse is a solid color that you can live with.) You may sleep better at night knowing the walls are white and only the comforter glows in the dark!
