Time to Update<\/h2>\n

A teenager’s bedroom is more than just a place to rest after a long day of school, sports, and activities.\u00a0 It is a study area, a hang out zone, a practice space, and a showcase of individual personality.\u00a0 If your teen has outgrown their childhood decor, it might be time to suggest a bedroom update.<\/p>\n

Updating a teen bedroom should be a collaborative effort. While redecorating\u00a0is a great opportunity to experiment with style, you’ll want to find pieces that will outlive fleeting phases and trends. It is wise to stay away from themes when choosing furniture, lighting, and other, more permanent decor. Give your teenager creative freedom to choose paint color, bedding, and accent pieces.<\/p>\n

Ceiling Lights<\/h2>\n

Lighting for a teen bedroom can be tricky.\u00a0 When choosing a permanent fixture for the ceiling it is important to find a light that is stylish but adaptable as the bedroom transitions from your child’s bedroom to its next phase after they’ve left for college and beyond. Flush mount <\/a>lighting,\u00a0\u00a0semi-flush<\/a>\u00a0lighting, and ceiling fans<\/a> are versatile choices to last throughout the years.\u00a0The Milo collection<\/a>\u00a0by Design Classics (shown below in zebra print) has a variety of replacement shades<\/a> to make an easy style transition without installing an entirely new fixture.<\/p>\n

Not too worried about keeping your lighting choices neutral? This is a fun opportunity to let your teen’s style shine. Make a statement piece by grouping\u00a0pendants<\/a> or hang a\u00a0chandelier<\/a>\u00a0to make a big impact in their space.<\/p>\n

Want to have some fun but not ready to have something wild permanently\u00a0installed in your home? Swag lighting<\/a> might be the perfect option. Swag lights can be plugged into a regular outlet and hung from the ceiling by a swag hook. As a bonus, when your child heads off to college and wants to take a piece of home with them, a swag chandelier<\/a>\u00a0can travel to their new dorm or apartment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bedside Lighting<\/h2>\n

Adding a table lamp<\/a> to one or both sides of the bed is a great addition to the teen bedroom lighting scheme. Bedside lamps are perfect for those who like to read, write, or draw just before bed. They’re\u00a0also a great tool for those early school mornings, a little light is helpful to wake up and get out of bed.<\/p>\n

Desk Lights<\/h2>\n

Let’s not forget the importance of desk lighting<\/a>. Teens spend\u00a0hours of their daily life reading, working on assignments, and studying for tests. It is crucial to have proper lighting for these tasks to reduce eye strain and create a pleasant work area.<\/p>\n
