Quick and Inexpensive Ways to Transform a Kids’ Room for a Teen


One of the quandaries of shopping for kids’ room furniture is, alas, the little ones grow up. That awesome race-car or TV cartoon-show theme so adorable when they were 5 doesn’t quite fit when they’re 13. And wow, don’t they let you know it! Change is inevitable as the philosophers remind us. Everything is in flux. Remember what it felt like to try to break away from your parents and assert your own identity? Well, first off, when updating your kids’ bedroom set to reflect your curious young person’s rapidly changing needs and interests, of course ask your son or daughter what they’d like! Make it a collaborative effort. You and your emerging adult might even bond a bit during this task. So here is American Furniture Galleries’ practical kids’ room furniture advice to successfully make this change.

Consider Darker Colors and Clean Lines

Your new young adult wants to reinvent him or herself as the person they are trying to be. Not a problem with some judicious kids’ room furniture planning. So maybe it’s time to go for a kids’ bed more understated, showing emerging sophistication. Consider a full bed, big enough to account for at least one growth spurt, in a cool gray tone for a mature look. The simple lines of a rustic panel bed or low-profile midcentury cool might be just the thing for your teen. If your budding scholar wants to buckle down on some physics homework or complete that college entrance essay, consider an ultramodern kids’ desk in serene, neutral tones. Such pieces have tremendous design longevity.

Keep Some Bright Kids’ Bedding for a Pop of Color

Even though your son or daughter is not quite a kid anymore, include a pop of color in the decor, because of course being grown up doesn’t rule out all kid-like fun. Something such as updated kids’ bedding continuing the boy or girl theme but in a richer shade can make a new bedroom layout come alive.

If you take this advice to heart AND shop our Sacramento, CA store, you might even save a dollar or three.
