A nursery for a teenager is never easy. You need to fit a lot of things, distribute functional zones, determine the center of the composition so that it is convenient and comfortable to be there. And the main thing is that the interior pleases the teenager, who, by definition, will perceive any decision as aggression. So, we will look in detail at how to create a nursery design so that it is modern and definitely appeals to everyone.
Design rules
- Color palette of delicate pastel shades
- White furniture
- Simple finishing without unnecessary complications
- Lighting in several levels
- We pay special attention to textiles: bed linen and curtains
By following these simple rules, you will be able to create a stunning interior that everyone will appreciate, even the picky resident of this room. We do not recommend moving away from them and not paying the necessary attention to each of the points. The likelihood of creating an ordinary dull and uncomfortable room is very high. Even if you use all the colors of the rainbow. Many designers use these rules unconsciously, relying on their excellent taste. Here we formulate clear and understandable categories, following which you will get great results. Take advantage of this. And let's go.
Trends for 2022
Among the fashion trends for decorating the interior of a girl’s room, designers pay attention to floral patterns. The following solutions are popular:
- accent wall with large flowers
- art paintings
- photographs and posters with beautiful plants
- Beautiful floral print on furniture
For such an interior, soft pastel colors with a couple of bright accents are enough.
Another option for daughters is wallpaper with dots or clear geometric shapes. Pastel colored walls with geometric shapes with gold or silver glitter look modern.
Shabby chic design, with elegant furniture, a subtle palette and beautiful decorations, is trendy in 2022. Beds with carved headboards and canopies, soft poufs and fluffy carpets are typical.
For boys, designers highlight several interior design options that will be fashionable in 2022:
- Cosmic with blue wall decoration, stars on the ceiling, lamps in the shape of celestial bodies, images of galaxies and telescopes.
- African with a comfortable tent, animals and jungle on the walls.
- Superhero with images of your favorite characters and even entire scenes from films or cartoons on the walls.
The trends are interesting and original, but are based primarily on the wishes of children. The child’s personal comfort is more important than being on trend.
Furniture in a girl's children's room
This is a universal and coolest option that many ignore. It refreshes, expands the space, highlights accents, and compensates for the lack of lighting. Yes, and all this is just white furniture. This rule is the strictest. No options or doubts. The furniture is white. Dot.
If you are planning a design “for growth”, like for an adult, then the color scheme should be considered based on the chosen shade of the furniture. But since our topic is about a teenage girl, there is only one option left.
White color goes well with any shade. Especially with a palette of unnatural colors. These are all mixed colors, which is exactly what teenage girls love. Turquoise, mint, violet, pink, orange and others. Yes, you yourself know what colors your child really likes. And they are definitely not calm.
In combination with white furniture, a neutral floor is a must. We have already said this above, but we will repeat it. The background is walls, floor and ceiling in neutral light and gray tones. And the furniture is white, as we have already clearly and clearly justified.
Zoning is the key to success
Zones associated with one or another activity of the child arise spontaneously and are usually determined by the arrangement of furniture. At the same time, competent zoning, taking into account the age and needs of the child, inevitably contributes to his development, and also affects many mental qualities (attention, performance, focus on results). Additionally, zoning solves other important problems:
- Promotes neatness. Children become accustomed to order, having a clear idea of where toys are kept and where to put clothes.

- Puts an end to disputes. In a situation where there are two children, separating zones (using decoration and furniture) will be the only way to forget about territorial claims; Each child will have personal space.

Usually, when planning a children's room measuring 10 square meters. m the following zones are distinguished:
- Rest zone. It is better to allocate a place for it away from the window. If the room is intended for one child, a practical solution would be to purchase a folding or sofa bed with a comfortable niche for bed linen. If two older children share a room, purchasing a bunk bed would be beneficial. Retractable, folding and folding structures will help free up space.

- Game Zone. The place where the baby will spend his free time should be comfortable and safe. It is important that toys are fully accessible, for which the easiest way to organize storage is in boxes. For older children, a sports corner may become relevant, for teenagers - a place for a musical instrument or sports equipment, a library; A mirror would be useful for a girl.

- Work zone. It is needed even if the child is very small, but already loves to draw or sculpt from plasticine. It is advisable to place the study table near the window; you can use the window sill by installing a wide tabletop. In the children's room of 10 sq. m for two schoolchildren choose modular systems that will allow you to place books, a lamp and a computer. It is also possible to design a workplace on the windowsill.

Decorating a nursery for a girl
Girls are naturally talented. They like to create jewelry, drawings, soft toys, sewing things and doing many other things that characterize a woman's character. They will complement their interior themselves and do it based on their hobbies. Therefore, complex finishing with numerous decorations is unnecessary. For girls, creating coziness and comfort in their personal space is in their blood. You shouldn’t take away this opportunity for self-realization from them.
Photo wallpaper, frescoes and the texture of decorative plaster are certainly beautiful. But again, consider whether this is necessary. It is better to dilute the interior with paintings that are easy to remove and change the interior in any direction.
Child's bedroom relative to his age
We would highlight the following stages of a child’s growing up:
- 0-6 months . Simplicity is the key to a favorable interior, since at this age a child needs peace, and he is not very actively exploring the world, so his environment is not very interesting to him.
- 4-8 months . The child begins to move and the first toys appear in his life, so his environment should also include a comfortable mattress or mat, rugs, small chests of drawers for things and various rattles.
- 9 months – 3 years . By this time, it is better to acquire a set of furniture for storing things, of which there will be quite a lot. A children's wigwam or play tent wouldn't hurt. A crib is most often needed after 1-1.5 years, since before that, most often the baby sleeps with his parents and grows quickly, so it is always difficult to guess the size of the sleeping place, so it is better to immediately take a crib for growth.
- 3-12 years old . The room should be spacious with free space in the center, preferably with good natural lighting and places to place all things and toys. From the age of three, you can add unusual details, interesting shapes and shiny elements to your design.
- 12 and above . Now is the time for experimentation, since the child has already formed his character and has his own preferences and hobbies. There is an urgent need to adapt to his wishes, otherwise parents will encounter certain psychological problems in children, which are formed by the inappropriate environment around them.
Nursery lighting for a teenage girl
Already at this stage, you most likely think that a neutral interior with white furniture will be boring. And there are many supporters of this opinion who will vying with each other to advise completely different combinations and techniques. So, here comes the lighting planning stage. It will create the mood and will be a wonderful addition to a girl’s interior. So, let's look:
- Overhead lighting
- Illumination around the perimeter or for zoning
- Wall lighting in the design of beautiful sconces
- Table and floor lamps
The ability to create subdued soft lighting is a cool bonus for anyone. And especially for a romantic young lady.
Garlands with clothespins on which photos are placed are a wonderful decorative element that is trendy and will definitely appeal to a girl who strives for self-realization.
Floor lamps have a moving function, which adds the ability to periodically change the interior. But to do this, take care of the outlets around the perimeter of the room. A mirror with spotlights is the ultimate trend that girls and even women dream about. What can we say about teenagers?
Textiles: bed linen and curtains
Textiles are always perceived as the finish line. And, as a rule, there is no longer any strength left to choose it. It seems like a minor addition that anything goes. But let's look at the options:
- Bed linen without patterns, in a monochromatic color palette. And, what is very important, quality.
- Focus on textiles. This is not always relevant. But if you really want brightness, then curtains and bedding will help you add richness and richness without overloading the interior in general.
- We choose regular bedding and cover it with a blanket or blanket. To put it simply, we hide faded patterns that do not fit into the interior under high-quality and beautiful textiles.
We recommend using straight cut curtains. Ruffles and multiple waves are not only outdated, but also anti-trend. Especially for a teenager who knows this for sure.
So, we examined in detail all the rules for creating a cool interior. Agree, they are very simple. But how effective are they? Try it yourself and tell us later.
And we move on to the next stage and consider the interior style that is suitable for a girl.
Room design in Provence style
Classic style is associated with luxury. With its help, they show the status of the apartment and the children's room as well. We are not against this direction. But we don't like unnecessary show off. Therefore, we love Provence very much for its romance, coziness and magical atmosphere of comfort.
In this style, all the rules that we listed above are woven into a harmonious symphony and there is no need to invent anything. Take it and do it. Bright colors used in this direction: delicate turquoise, blue, pink. Just know when to stop. Look at the photo.
Features of the arrangement
No matter how strange it may sound, children feel more comfortable in small rooms than in spacious rooms. There are several big advantages of a small nursery:
- since few objects can be placed in the room, it is easier for the child to maintain cleanliness and order;
- a room with an area of 10 square meters is designed only for the baby, so the interior can be playful, fairy-tale, themed. It is important to take into account the wishes of the child;
- It’s easier to change the environment as the children get older. In a small room, cosmetic renovations are easy to do, and replacing individual pieces of furniture is inexpensive.
