If you are a parent of a teenager, you might have troubles styling their space – it should be cool, bold, catchy and at the same time comfortable and functional. But what if this space is small? That means you have double trouble – small spaces are extremely tricky to design but no worries – we’ve gathered some tips and ideas for you!
What Style To Choose For A Small Teen Bedroom?
Skip styles that tend to clutter the space like boho chic, eclectic, maximalist or shabby chic and go for a clean look with minimalist, Scandinavian, modern or contemporary style.

What Furniture To Choose For A Small Teen Bedroom?
The main thing you will need is a bed, and it can be large enough. The idea about small spaces is that you choose not so many furniture pieces but they can be large enough, so they won’t clutter the space and won’t make it look small. Find a cool desk or go for a wall-mounted or windowsill solution to save the space again. Built-in wardrobes help to declutter the space, and beds with storage are a functional idea, too. Consider having multifunctional furniture as it will save a lot of space.
