Designing with Your Teen: Bedroom Décor

Designing with Your Teen: Bedroom Décor

It's time to put away the beloved character comforters and sheets - your little girl or boy is no longer a child. The switch from cartoon characters to a more mature bedroom décor can be a smooth experience for both parent and child.

When tweens enter the full-fledged teen years they yearn for independence. They want control and decision-making privileges. It might be scary to imagine teenagers choosing their own paint colors, furniture, and decorations, but with a strong design plan this process doesn't have to be intimidating.

Get Inspired With a Design Board

Teen bedrooms can be mature but still have an element of fun. Their décor can reflect their interests in sports and hobbies in a stylish, organized way. Creating a design or inspiration board is the perfect way to find a happy medium between what parents want and what teenagers want. Choosing the perfect design elements will create a space that fosters confidence and self-expression while avoiding clutter.

The design board should include everything that will go into the bedroom. Not only should it have pictures of furniture and paint and fabric swatches, it should also include details like lighting fixtures and accessories. One to create the board is to cut out pictures from magazines and glue them to a paper poster board. Your teens can also search online for pictures that can be printed out and affixed to the board. Another option is to copy and paste pictures from websites like Pinterest and Tumblr to a blank document on your computer. Once the design board is made, parents and teens can go over it together to be sure both parties agree on the design plan.

Kitchen Redecorating on a Budget

 

 

Kitchen Redecorating on a Budget

Although many claim that they're willing to undertake minimal cosmetic fixes, the typical home buyer wants a home that is move-in ready. Two rooms in particular are important to them: the bathroom and the kitchen. Outdated, worn and unattractive kitchens and bathrooms drag down the value of the home and may make it harder to sell.
Pressing the buyer's kitchen "hot button" may not necessarily require a complete remodel of the room, but merely a freshening up. Even the smallest of budgets can provide some attractive updates to everyone favorite room.

Paint Dramatically Transforms the Kitchen

When redecorating any room, fresh paint on the walls is the best place to start. Paint adds an instant transformation, and, depending on the color, can make a room appear larger. It also provides you with a base color on which to build the rest of the kitchen's color scheme.
Most real estate staging experts caution homeowners to use neutral paint colors to provide a broader appeal. One designer, however, claims that green is the new neutral color on which to build your color palette.

Update Your Kitchen Cabinet Hardware

If you're lucky enough to have attractive kitchen cabinets that don't require painting or refinishing, replacing the hardware may be all that's needed to give them an updated look.
Home improvement stores offer the kitchen-decorator a mind-boggling array of hardware for your kitchen cabinets. From stainless steel to hand-forged pewter, there's a handle or knob to match any kitchen decor.

Accessorize to Add the Final Touch

Kitchen accessories include not only the decorative, but the functional as well.
Let's start with the decorative: New throw rugs, window coverings and linens that compliment your new wall color will tie the room into a cohesive whole.
Artwork isn't something a lot of people think about when decorating the kitchen. Be on the lookout for interesting pieces, such as plates, tapestries and sconces.
Lighting is not only necessary but can add a distinctive decorative touch. When creating House Beautiful's Kitchen of the Year, designer Robert Stillin used table lamps on the kitchen counters to soften the "laboratory" feel of the kitchen.
Under-counter lights add a soft glow, while sleek track lighting is a must for an industrial-style kitchen.
Add a new kitchen faucet that coordinates and compliments the new décor. Try to match the finish to the new cabinetry hardware to pull the room together. Again, your local home improvement store offers an array of faucets.
