If you love color, especially in a teenage girl’s bedroom, you’re going to love this!
This room was madeover to reflect the personality of a 13 year old teenager. It’s fun and vibrant – just like her!
It isn’t a very large room at all, but is packed full of everything you might expect to see in a teenage girl’s bedroom.
It’s a great example to show you to go along with my post outlining how to decorate, add style and storage to a small bedroom.
This girl loves bright colors and little bit of sparkle and glam!
There’s gold foil paper in the tissue paper garland above the headboard, gold metallic dots on a throw pillow and gold foil writing on some of the art in her gallery wall.
The tufted bright pink headboard is a pretty backdrop for a variety of fun throw pillows.
This exact headboard is no longer available, but I was able to find several simalar ones.
The heart of a thirteen year old girl is priceless to me. I remember being that age when friends were everything – this young lady is no different!
She’s slowly been adding to the gallery wall beside her bed, with the most recent additions being handcrafted birthday presents from some of her friends.
When trying to come up with decorating ideas for a teenage girl’s bedroom, we found inspiration in the form of a pretty teal blue braided rug. I’ve never seen one quite like it.
Her mom had been on the lookout for a rug that would be suitable for a teenager’s room for a long time.
She was after an 8′ x 10′ rug that was A) easy to clean and care for, B) durable, C) affordable and D) reflective of her daughter’s personality.
This exact rug is no longer available, there is a very similar one that is super affordable and comes in a myriad of sizes.
When she asked for my opinion on what type of rug she should get, I immediately said an indoor/outdoor one.
She was concerned about the comfort factor of an indoor-outdoor rug, but I encouraged her to give this a braided rug a try and it did not disappoint!
Braided rugs are often cushy underfoot and easy on the knees when crawling around on the floor.
Color was the theme of the day, so once the rug and headboard were in place the rest of the room easily came together.
Her mom’s own bedroom furniture, that she had herself as a teenager, was updated with a fresh coat of white paint.
To save money, they reused the same hardware, but gave it a coat of black spray paint.
Inexpensive lamps were updated with thrifted teal blue lampshades and an old wood jewelry box was given a coat of apple green paint for a pop of color.
One thing this small bedroom lacks is storage. It has a very small closet, but for stylish storage we added cute hooks with crystal knobs to the wall to hold purses, hats and other paraphenalia.
TIP: When you have open storage, be intentional with the items that you choose. They will be on display along with the rest of the decor in the room!
The desk is a Facebook Marketplace find that gained a new lease on life with paint and a cute chair.
The bulletin board is actually a thrifted mirror frame that has been painted black.
The frame was used to trace a cutout that then had cork added to it and covered with a coordinating piece of fabric.
Plain curtains can be tailored to fit in with any color scheme by simply adding wide grosgrain ribbon to the edge with fusible iron on tape.
One more thing to take note of is the chandelier. It shows just what can be done with an old brass chandelier and a can of spray paint!
I hope you enjoyed this tour and found lots of ideas to use from this colorful teenage girl’s bedroom. It was so much fun to put together!
Love that rug…..love the whole room!
The colorful rug really pulls the room together. It’s great to know that it’s soft too.
I love that room! Those are my colors in my bedroom. The rug is great! it just pulls this whole room together.
Thank you for making me aware of Rug Expedition! I was unaware of this site, but I now will stalk it! The rugs look beautiful and the prices are wonderful. I am on the lookout for a new 5×8 rug for my kitchen dining area. I will definitely be checking out Rug Expedition!
That is one fun girl’s room – alive with vibrant colors. Looks airy and cheerful !
Great girl teen room. Makes me want to snuggle down of the bed. Look the white/turquoise rug from Rug Expedition.
Love the room!! I’m looking for a rug with a pop of color in my kitchen. I will check out their site.
Lovely bedroom – love the rug!
The rug quality surprised me. I’ve got an indoor-outdoor runner in my laundry room and you can defintately tell it’s for outdoors… I wish we could see the othere sides of the room, but what we see is adorable.
I wish I had a teenage girl to share this beautiful room with. The rug is great.
Love the room and the rug makes it! Can’t believe it’s indoor/outdoor. The throw looks comfy too.
Love the entire room -i never realized indoor outdoor rugs could be so fun .
Love the room!!! Really love the rug!!! I have been looking for a rug for my Den that is indoor/outdoor but has style and looks like it will hold up. I have a dog that like to roll on the rug a lot. I am definitely going to check their site out. Thanks for sharing.
She has great taste, just like her grandmother! Love the colors and that rug is to die for!
Love the room colors!!!
Thank you for sharing this rug site. My home has all hardwood floors and because I have two pups, I do not have rugs. As well trained as they are, accidents still happen on occasion. I never thought about it before, but an indoor/outdoor rug which can be cleaned easily is just the ticket for me. I am already dreading the cold floors this winter. Can’t wait to search this site and find a few rugs to fit my bedroom and family room.
Love the colors in this room. The rug is a great “grounder”!
What a beautiful room for your sweet girl! I love the color contrasted with the clean white! So pretty and it will transition well when her tastes change in the later teen years too!
I’m on the hunt for a durable rug for under our kitchen table – since we homeschool there, it gets a lot of wear and tear and our current rug has all but fallen apart! I had not heard of Rug Expedition so I will certainly check them out!
What a fabulous room, perfect for a teen girl. Love all the vibrant colors.
I didn’t realize that an indoor outdoor rug could look so good!
What a great teen room! Good motivation to brighten things up a bit!!
A new rug would be a great starting point to pull everything together!
