4 Cool Bedroom Ideas for a Tween Girl

As kids get older, their wants and needs often change. Planning and creating a bedroom for your tween girl can sometimes be challenging. You don’t want to make it too kid-like, but she isn’t quite ready for a full-blown adult bedroom. We’ve gathered some ideas to help walk you through creating the perfect space for any tween girl.

Let’s take a look at how these sample homeowners made changes that made all the dreams for a tween girl come true.

Make Her Feel Like a Princess

Tweens are just that: in between a kid and a teenager. When decorating for this age range, there should be a balance between their kid-like nature and the teenage years that sit right around the corner. More mature decor and bedding choices were used in the bedroom, but the bed canopy adds just enough of that princess vibe! Simple white bedding was used with sheets that provide a subtle color paired with a throw pillow that provides a little glamour.

Let Creativity Shine

Homework is a growing part of every tween’s life. School is becoming more demanding and they are bringing their work home with them, making a desk an essential part of their room. But a tween’s workspace shouldn’t just be for work; their minds are growing and they need plenty of opportunity for creativity. A tween’s desk space should be well organized, inspiring, and a little fun too.

For this desk space, the homeowners utilized a compartmentalized container for pens and pencils and a file holder to keep all artwork and papers organized in plain sight so they are readily available.

Keep It Organized

When kids start to grow out of their toys, they often begin picking up new interests. So here are a few tips to keep their rooms organized and functional.

• Provide an area for friends and hanging out.
• Find fun ways to keep things in their place.
• Include the tween in the organization.

Allowing your kid to be involved in the organization process will set both of you up for success. If it’s her idea to organize something a certain way, she is more likely to continue utilizing the processes set up. This oversized bag is the perfect way to store extra purses and other accessories without using up all the hooks.

Add a Wow Factor

One thing is for sure, tweens have a whole lot of personality. Give them a little something special: that wow factor that matches their personality. For this bedroom, the homeowners replaced the dated beadboard with board and batten and a color that represented their daughter’s personality. Don’t be afraid to go bold in a kid’s room. It’s a fantastic place to play with color, texture, patterns, and even wallpaper.
