What to Look For in Teenage Bedroom Furniture
If you're looking for teenage bedroom furniture but don't know where to start, then you need to read this article.
We're going to look at several things you should consider before buying anything.
Anyone with teenagers probably knows how one day your son or daughter started complaining that their bedroom wasn't cool enough for a teen - the design that they had wanted so badly when they were seven or eight years old suddenly made them feel like a little kid.
Unless you're a glutton for punishment and want to hear the complaints day in and day out, you're probably thinking about repainting the room, and possibly upgrading them to new bedroom furniture.
Choosing bedroom furniture for a teen is a touchy subject, like buying anything else for them I suppose.
The important thing is that you include them in the buying process, to ensure that they get furniture that they're happy with.
If they come home from school one day to find you've completely changed their room, you're throwing the dice as to whether they're going to love it or hate it.
The type of furniture you choose will also depend on the size of their bedroom.
If they have enough space for it, a larger bed is a good idea.
At least a double, but even a queen size bed is a good consideration.
Keep in mind that they are likely to be moving out within a few years, and buying them bedroom furniture that would still work for them when they're on their own isn't a bad idea.
If their bedroom doesn't have a lot of space, you might consider a bunk bed with a desk below it (provided the ceiling is high enough).
This lets them get double-duty from the same amount of floor space, and can save you from having to have a desk for them in another room in the house.
Other pieces of furniture that you will want to consider are a dresser or two, nightstands and bookcases or other storage.
By the time they're teenagers, most of their toys are going to be gone except perhaps a few sentimental ones, so they'll need storage for books, music and all the other things that are important to a teenager.
Again, work with them in deciding what will suit their needs the best.
