Cheap And Easy Teen Bedroom Ideas:

Accent Wall

A simple way to make a statement is to use a bold color on the accent wall. You can use any color palette, or choose anything that speaks to you! If you're feeling adventurous, try creating an interesting pattern out of your choice of paint or wallpaper. The possibilities are endless when adding a wall decal or accent wall!

Fun Bedding and Comforter

Fun bedding and comforter can help make a room more comfortable. A fun patterned comforter can add pop of color, personality, and even warmth to any bedroom.

Fun bedding will also help make your teen’s bedroom more colorful. Bright colors such as yellow or red will brighten up any space! This is especially important if you have a small bedroom like most teens do!

In addition to being fun and colorful, this type of bedding also makes it easier for kids to express themselves! If they love basketball then let them show that love through their bedding choice 🙂

You can also always keep the comforter neutral but add a more wild throw blanket or linens. This can create a more laid back vibe but also gives the option to change it up later! Check out this photo below for some simple decor elements!

Hanging a Photo Collage

A collage is a great way to showcase multiple photos at once, and since your teen's interests are changing all the time, it allows them to change up their room decor as well! You can use photos of friends and family, or even just images that inspire your teen. Here are some things you can put in your frames:

• Use a large frame to display photos.
• Use a large frame to display artwork.
• Use a large frame to display a map.
• Use a large frame to display a collage.
• Use a large frame to display a piece of art that your teen created themselves. You can also use it as an inexpensive place to store your artwork until you find somewhere else for it!

Another option is using the space as an oversized bulletin board where you can pin up some inspiration or important reminders for yourself, such as upcoming appointments and homework assignments, so that they don't get lost amongst other pieces of paper on an overcrowded desk or countertop in another room. Check out this wall collage, its a huge trend we are seeing right now.

Add Extra Bedroom Storage

If you have space for more than one bedroom in your home and it's a shared bedroom situation, consider adding other pieces of furniture that can double as storage. Here are a few options:

• A dresser or chest of drawers. If you have room for this piece of furniture, it’s a great option for storing clothes and other items. You can also use it to display items like photos or nicknacks.
• A bedside table. Sometimes called nightstands or end tables, these are often used to hold lamps and the alarm clock. Make sure they’re tall enough so that when your child is sitting up in bed with her legs crossed under her (or with her knees together), she doesn't hit them with her knees while she's lying down!
• A desk (either built-in as part of the bed frame or freestanding). If your child has his own space at school where he gets homework done each day, why not put in some hours at home too? Having an extra desk will allow him to spread out his books and papers and give him more privacy from roommates who might want quiet time after school too!

You can also create extra storage spaces and room by using bunk beds or a platform bed. This gives more space and storage under the bed for your teen's bedroom.

Include Wallpaper

Wallpaper is a great way to add color, texture and interest to your teen bedroom. You may be surprised by the options available at home stores and online retailers.

Adding wallpaper can be an inexpensive way to bring in a big statement piece without breaking the bank. By mixing up the patterns you’ve chosen for your teen room, you can have fun dressing it up with lots of color and design elements that make it feel like home. If you want something bolder than paint but less expensive than drywall repair, consider using wallpaper instead!

A Homework Station

Do you have a student still at home? If so, it’s time to make sure they have a space where they can be productive and creative during homework time. This is going to be different depending on their age and interests, but here are some tips for making sure it works:

• Make sure it’s somewhere quiet where they can focus without distraction or interruption.
• Make sure the area has good lighting so they can see what they’re doing without straining their eyesight.
• It should be close enough to wherever you spend most of your time (the kitchen table, living room couch) that you can easily check in on them throughout the evening when needed—but not so close that there are constant interruptions or distractions from other family members passing through the space.
• The space should also have some privacy if possible—don’t put this next to an open doorway leading into another room where everyone will be coming in an out all night long!

The teen bedroom ideas below show such a beautiful and sophisticated homework station. You do not need to go all out like this but it sure is something gorgeous! Now only if your teen would keep it this clean haha

Comfy Hangout Seating

If your teen has a space that they like to sit, you can make them feel more at home by adding some comfy seating. A hammock is an inexpensive way to add on hangout space, and if you already have a hammock, it's even better because all you need to do is hang it!

If your teen doesn't want to be suspended in mid-air, there are plenty of other options:

• A beanbag chair or couch—these are great because they take up little space, can easily be moved around the room (or out into the yard!), and come in so many different styles that there's something for everyone.
• An extra bed—if your teen doesn't have enough space for their own bed but wants someplace comfortable where friends will hang out with them after school (and maybe even sleepover once in awhile), consider adding an air mattress or couch-style sleeper sofa for overnight guests as well as daytime lounging.

Create A Painted Monogram Letter

We’re talking about monograms, baby! If you don’t already have a monogram letter hanging on the wall, it’s time to get one. You can make your own using a stencil. If you want something even easier and more cost-effective than that, just buy one from Etsy or a similar site—it could be as cheap as $5!

If you want to make this DIY project even easier and cheaper, take advantage of those big U-shaped nails that are really useful for hanging things up on both walls and doors (you can find them at any hardware store). You won't even need any tools for this job because all the work is done on the backside of the canvas. Just grab some paint and go wild with it!

Add Extra Privacy

If you're looking to give your teen some extra privacy, there are many ways to go about it. A curtain is one of the most common and cost-effective ways to add privacy to a room. If you want something bolder, try using a room divider or another type of screen (such as fabric or corrugated plastic) instead of curtains.

You could also add a privacy screen or tent in your teen's bedroom for an inexpensive way to separate their space from the rest of the house without breaking the bank—and without having them feel trapped inside!

Add Fun Decor Pieces

Another easy way to inspire your teen's room is to decorate it with things he or she loves. Teenagers can be very passionate about a lot of different things, so this could be anything from colors, characters (like superheroes), hobbies and interests, sports, music styles, movies or TV series and books that they like. You can also use quotes from the books and quotes about friendship that he or she admires or even quotes about love for him/herself and others in general. Here are some more ideas:

• Add posters from their favorite bands/musicians
• Add images from their favorite games/characters on their walls
• Hang up photos of friends who are important to them as well as family members
• Decorate with flags representing countries where they may have traveled or wish to travel in the future

Display Hobbies

If your teen has a hobby, it's important to make sure they have the space to display their passion. Add shelves or hooks to their room where they can display their favorite books, movies, and collections.

If they play sports or are involved in an art club at school, consider adding a shelf for their sports equipment or art supplies respectively... How awesome would a surfboard shelf be!?

If they're into video games or play musical instruments like guitar or piano, add an area in which they can store these items so that when it's time to practice, everything is easily accessible.

Wall Murals

Wall murals are a great way to make a statement and add color. They can also help cover an entire wall, as you've probably noticed in some of the photos above. A large mural will not only turn an empty space into an artful decorating opportunity, but it can also be used to hide something unsightly like an outlet or light switch. Murals make such a fun graphic backdrop for any room!

Some people have wall murals up with the idea that they'll later paint over them; others choose a patterned mural that complements their existing décor instead of covering it up completely. Either way, this idea is sure to become one of your favorites once you see how easy it is!

Closet Space

Closet space is something that a lot of teens never think about when they're decorating their rooms. However, it's important to take into consideration because you don't want your closet to look a mess.. Closet space can be used for storing clothes and shoes as well as other items such as school supplies and electronics.

If you have enough closet space, you also get more options when it comes to decorating it! You can use shelves or bins to store things in orderly fashion or even hang hooks on the walls so you can hang up some nice shirts from your favorite brands (or maybe even make room for those old prom dresses). You can also turn your closet into a cool hangout area, check out this teen girl's bedroom below!

Use LED Lights To Decorate

When it comes to decorating, LED lights are a great option. They don't take up much space and they're energy-efficient, long-lasting and easy to control. You can even find LED lights that come with a remote so your teen can turn them on and off without getting out of bed.

Save Space in a Fun Way

To save space, you can use hanging shelves, which take up less floor space than regular shelves and make it easy to store things like books, shoes, clothes and bags out of sight but still accessible when needed! A hanging coat rack will also help save space in your bedroom or closet - just hang it by the door when not in use (or even better - inside).

If there's no room for a coat rack inside your closet or on the outside door handle then try using an oversize decorative plate instead - place all of your scarves, hats and gloves onto this plate for easy access later on as well as giving them a nice home where they won't get lost amidst everything else inside your wardrobe!

Mix Patterns and Textures

Mixing patterns and textures is a great way to add interest to your teen bedroom design. You can add texture by choosing fabrics or wallpaper with a different pattern, such as stripes on the wall and polka dots on the bedspread. For example, if you have walls that are plain gray or white, try adding some color with a decorative pillow or painting an accent wall in another shade.

You can also bring more pattern into your room by using different materials in different places. For example, you could use lace curtains and flowery sheets on your bed while having plain white blinds hanging in front of the window. This kind of contrast adds depth and complexity to each element in the room so it doesn't look bland when put together with other pieces! Lets take a look at some teen bedroom ideas with awesome patterns and textures.

Statement Piece Headboard

If you want to make a statement in your teen’s room, a fun headboard is the way to go.You can use an oversized headboard or a teeny-tiny one—it all depends on what type of statement you want to make.

You can use a bold color like red or orange, but don’t go too crazy with it (e.g., do not paint your teenager's bedroom walls green). You can also play with patterns and shapes (like stars) instead of just choosing one shape over another based on its size.

Finally, if none of these options sound appealing to you at all and prefer something more “offbeat” than what we have listed above then by all means explore other options!

Blackout Window Treatments

If your teen likes to sleep in and doesn't want to get up for school, blackout window treatments are a must. They block out light and make the room completely dark. You can also purchase solar-powered or battery-operated lamps if you're worried about keeping your child from getting up in the morning.

• To make blackout curtains, cut pieces of white canvas or cardboard into rectangles that are wide enough to cover the width of your windows (including any molding around them), but not so tall that they hang down below what is usually considered an appropriate length for curtains (about 6 inches). Then paint each piece with black spray paint and let dry before hanging them up!
• To install them: Either sew loops on each end of each piece using thread that matches the material used for making them or glue velcro strips on one end of each curtain rod—these will become hooks later when you put these on top off all other things when making sure it looks nice before putting anything else into place because again we want to make sure everything fits together well without having any gaps whatsoever since this would just ruin everything since nothing looks worse than seeing some sort of mismatched pattern thrown together haphazardly without any thought given as how best incorporate everything else into room decorating style choice.

Get window treatments that go right to the ceiling to add a more dramatic piece as well it ensures that they are blocking out all the light for those sleepy teens! Check out this teen bedroom ideas below!

Bring in Their Personality

As a parent, you may be inclined to decorate your teenager’s bedroom in accordance with your own personal style. However, this can make their space feel less like theirs and more like a guest bedroom—something they are just using until they are ready to move out on their own. If you want to help them develop their own unique aesthetic.

The best way to make your teenager’s bedroom an extension of who they are as individuals is by making sure every detail is personalized. This includes everything from the paint color on the walls (their favorite colors) to the throw pillows on their bed (their favorite characters).

When all these elements come together in one room, it will feel like something special for them and not just another generic space occupied by an adult who probably doesn’t get everything covered by mommy and daddy anymore!

Now that you've seen a few different ways to decorate your teen's bedroom, it's time to get started on making the room of their dreams. We hope you found some great ideas in my teen bedroom ideas post and feel ready to start working - happy decorating!
