5 Teen Girl Bedroom Ideas for Smaller Spaces

Teenagers typically spend a lot of time in their rooms, whether they are having a friend spend the night, doing homework, or simply hiding away from a long and stressful day. As their bedrooms are used so much, investing in a room they can be proud of is worthwhile. If the bedroom is very small, finding a look that works well without taking up too much space can be difficult.

At Supernova Furniture, we don’t believe in limits! Here are some teen girl bedroom ideas that deliver style and functionality, even if the space is small:

Pick a Bed That Does More

When you have very little square footage, vertical space is just as useful as floor space. Rather than purchasing a bedroom set with a bed and a dresser, consider a raised bed with an attached dresser underneath. Some loft beds include drawers, shelves, and even retractable desks for multiple functions—and they just take up the floor space of a traditional twin bed. You can also find headboards with lots of shelf space or a bunk bed that has a futon, empty space, or a built-in desk on the bottom. Any of these choices will help maximize your space. 

Decide on a Signature Color

It's no secret that the color white opens up small areas. However, too much white often feels clinical and austere. You can utilize the trick of a white room without sacrificing a fun and creative style in your teenage girl's bedroom. Pick one or two bold colors to use as accents in the room. Then find items like pillows, rugs, or art pieces that use your colors to spruce up the blank space. Colors that work well together are red and orange, blue and purple, or different shades of the same color.

Fill the Room With Light

Like white, bright light also contributes to how big or small a room feels, regardless of its true size. Adding bright sources of light adds dimension and depth to a room that feels cramped when the lighting is dim. Make sure there are lamps or other sources of light to fill and expand the room. With an item like a three-arm floor lamp, you can maximize lighting with very little floor space. A lighted makeup vanity is sure to get plenty of use, too.

Use Wall and Ceiling Decorations to Stylize the Room

You want your teen's room to reflect their style and character; however, this may be hard when you don't have a lot of space to put decor. Instead of bulky items that showcase the personality of your child, find flat or hanging items that can add to the atmosphere. For example, strings of twinkle lights draped from the ceiling add a soft fairytale ambiance without taking up walking space. With twine and small clips, you can hang pictures of their favorite memories on a wall, changing them out anytime. 

Anything Can Contribute Storage Space

Similar to choosing a versatile bed, many other objects can give your teen extra storage space without taking up much room. Some floor lamps are designed with small shelves and a tabletop attached. You can also find small benches with drawers underneath or some that open like a storage ottoman.
