Tween to Teen Bedroom Ideas

There comes a time when you child room changes from tween to teen. Gone are the pink walls and peace signs. My daughter Chloe was no exception. The more pink the better and I embraced her love of color and pattern and ran with it. We started with a daybed and trundle and added pieces either homemade, hand me down, or thrifted. It was colorful and fun and the heart/peace sign movement lasted until Chloe came to me and said  “Mom, I’m not into color so much anymore. I like white!” GASP! I knew that day would come.  I had 12 years of decorating the way that I wanted and now it was time for her to have her say. Here’s a look back at how her room was and what we have planned for her teen room makeover:

Tween Room Decor

I painted a huge 5 by 5 feet canvas combining the heart, peace sign and her name. A large C marquee letter light rescued from a restaurant remodel that we converted into a night light.  Bright patterned pillows, bedding and Romero Britto art fill the room.

A white hand me down dresser from a client, black and white accessories, chartreuse pom pom window panels, thrift store dog bookends that I spray painted and more Britto signed art.

A thrifted hard top suitcase meets a TV table and make for the perfect nightstand. Lime green paint and a raspberry colored handle.

Shopping for Teen Furniture

When it came time to discuss Chloe’s new room makeover we turned to our friends at Raymour and Flanigan. I knew that she could find the sophisticated style and I love the quality that would last her for years to come. As in all my design approaches we chose a mix and match of whites, blacks and golds with pops of color. We’re both excited to share our vision of her ideal teen room and full reveal in a few days.

    Hi there! I absolutely love what you’ve done with your daughters room. I’m in the process of trying to recreate this look & I wanted to know if you remembered where you purchased the bookshelf from??

      Hi I can’t remember the manufacturer. I bought them in Altanta years ago. When she wakes up I’ll try to find a manufacturer sticker.
