Decorative Ideas for a Modern Teenage Bedroom in Ottawa, Ontario

To rethink the decoration of a teenage room, you need to proceed in stages.
First, you need to look at the walls, then maybe change your bed’s place – and possibly the matching slipcovers, blankets, and pillows.
Finally move the furniture, if necessary, replace them. Then add storage areas.
Before you end up adding accessories into the room.

The idea being that your bedroom or that of your teenager is the exact reflection of her personality.

Choose a Color Palette

Before you start to imagine your bedroom setting, choose a color palette.
Sure, pick a color you like, but make sure you won’t get bored of it quickly.
And then, you probably want a cool and fun bedroom for you or your teenager.
Do not choose shades intended to energize you; rather, they soothe you and relax you.

For a feminine room, go for soft wall colors and brighter colored accessories. For a relaxed vibe, choose to combine a dark blue or purple with a white or cream.
Go bold and consider black, white, and red trio or a tropical vibe that mixes bright pinks and deep oranges.

What works well, in general, are fairly light tones on the walls and the floor and hints of bright colors here and there added by the décor objects.
You can also paint one wall completely in a fairly bright color, but not on all four walls; it can get overwhelming quickly.

Highlight a point in the room

Do you have a lot of elements to combine, a lot of furniture? Do not be discouraged. Pick an element or place in the room, such as a corner you can bring out with color – paint or wallpaper. You can create a point that calls for attention so that the rest can merge into a harmonious unity.

If you have a small space but a big personality, you can also make a giant mural or go for overly large decoration.
It could be a wallpaper, a wall decal, or a collection of different sized frames. The main point is that all this does not encroach on precious floor space.

Invest in the ceiling

The ceiling is a great place for your teenage girl to really ‘let go’ – abstract paintings, posters, or even glow-in-the-dark stars are all great options that make the ceiling interesting and full of personality.

Hang up a poster, or a painting

Hang something on the wall you just painted, like the poster for your favorite movie or music group.
Look for visuals that will harmoniously match their colors and styles to those of your wall and bedspread.
To make a poster more elegant, place it in a frame or hang it with wire instead of just gluing it or nailing it to the wall. And not too much: limit yourself to one large element per wall or two smaller ones placed separately.

Hang pictures

For an even more intimate touch and to personalize your walls, frame and hang some of your favorite photos of your friends and family.
Optionally buy a bulletin board and paste pictures, drawings, and memorabilia. You can also use a small magnetic board or whiteboard to hang up photos and jot down notes and thoughts.
You also have the option of painting an entire wall or part of a wall with magnetic board paint.
This will allow you to write messages and put up photos or posters without damaging the wall.

Rugs and cushions

Get a plush rug and cushions to create a cozy space, unless you have room for a comfy chair or sofa.
You can create a comfortable reading nook by adding a lamp to brighten up space.
