Any repair is akin to war when you can’tfind the essentials when your whole life turns upside down and you don’t know when it will all end. But at the same time, changing the interior of a room is incredibly pleasant. Especially if you are trying not for yourself, but for your beloved teenager who has already outgrown these walls with naive gnomes and a cramped car bed. But don’t rush to rejoice. Now all the furniture has been safely taken out, and the walls have been cleared of old wallpaper. What next? It depends on whose room we are going to remodel. A boy’s or a girl’s? Despite the fact that teenage boys are considered problematic, they, as a rule, do not find fault with the new renovation of a children’s room (although what kind of children’s room is it if you had to install a completely adult sofa for your little rascal!) Did you put up blue wallpaper? Great. Green? Also nothing. But girls are more capricious. They are far from indifferent to the interior of the room to which they will bring their girlfriends. Therefore, before buying lemon paint, consult with your daughter. While you're trying to convince your teenager not to hang a canopy over his bed, let me give you a couple of recommendations on how best to change the look of your child's room.
Walls
Yes, yes, those very walls from which you carefullytore off the remains of old wallpaper. This is where the interior of a teenager's room begins. It is their color and texture that will set the main character of the entire room. And if you should decide on the color together with your daughter, then it is better to choose the main material yourself. First of all, keep in mind that girls, although more careful than boys, dirty the walls no worse than their peers. Therefore, if you want to glue wallpaper, it is better to choose the option for painting, so that with a light stroke of the brush to return the interior to its former freshness.
Floor
Have you decided to lay parquet flooring in your children's room?You are wrong. The child is unlikely to follow 33 precautions for caring for such a capricious material. It is much easier to throw insulated linoleum on the floor, which is unusually easy to wash. Of course, you can replace linoleum with carpet. But this is only if you are convinced that in a week it will be impossible to determine the teenager's diet for the last 7 days. And do not say that your daughter eats only in the kitchen. Then where do empty cracker packs and cola bottles come from on the table? They don't fly in through the window themselves, do they?
Lighting
This is a very important aspect of any interior, be itthen a teenager's nursery or your matrimonial bedroom. Be sure to separate the lighting into primary and secondary. Primary, as you already understood, is a regular chandelier that faithfully illuminates the entire room. Secondary include sconces, nightlights on bedside tables and lamps on desks. Take special care of the last point in our list, since every teenager still has homework that has to be done from time to time. Therefore, take care of the girl's eyesight from an early age so that she does not have to order glasses in adulthood.
Furniture
What furniture fits best into a child's room? The one that will be most useful to your daughter in everyday life.
Individuality
No, we're not talking about you.The teenager himself, for whom the renovation was started, should show his essence. We are sure that your girl has a lot of ideas about her room. And there is no need to impose your opinion authoritatively. In the end, it is not you who will live in this room, but your daughter. So let her choose the curtains and the shade of the carpet.
