How to decorate a window in a teenager’s room - ideas for girls and boys

All parents sooner or later face the fact that the child has grown up and demands to change the interior in his room, including throwing away the curtains so beloved earlier with dinosaurs, ninja turtles or fairy unicorns. Designing a window in such a way that the teenager liked it and made it possible to fully regulate the lighting is not an easy task. However, experienced designers are ready to share their secrets in this matter.

Room for the girl

At the age of 12-15 years, girls try to resemble adult women as much as possible, but they still remain children in their hearts - with their pipe dreams and sorrowful feelings, romantic thoughts and the desire to have a place where they could hide from the whole world. Therefore, do not make their room emotionally cold - use strict silhouettes and the same colors. This is especially true of the window, because this part of the room always attracts the eye and in many respects sets the tone for the whole decoration.

What to choose?

There are several curtain options that you can use:

• Jalousie - while it is desirable that they be vertical. Horizontal in many people is associated with the office and does not allow you to fully relax while staying at home.
• Tulle - if the room does not face east and is not located on the first floor of an apartment building, it is quite possible to do without dense curtains. Transparent gathered tulle gives a feeling of freedom, lightness, ease, contributes to a good mood.
• Curtains made of soft flowing fabrics. In the children's room, heavy, bulky curtains up to the floor will be superfluous: firstly, they collect a lot of dust that the child will breathe, and secondly, create a crushing, uncomfortable atmosphere.

Of course, the choice should be based on the general style of the interior.

Color spectrum

The most popular color for curtains in a room for a girl is pink. However, if earlier it could be bright and saturated, now it is worth choosing more muted tones. And not only because they attract less attention, and therefore will not distract the child from learning and other important matters. From a psychological point of view, pastel shades have a positive effect on the overexcited nervous system (and in adolescence, almost all parents observe excessive emotionality in their daughters).

However, not everyone likes pink. Therefore, it is not forbidden to use other colors - for example, yellow, green, lilac. They can be either in a monovariant, or combined with each other or with other tones - gray, white, mint, beige, peach, blue. By the way, you can combine not only by color principle. The window in the children's room looks stylish in a modern way, when each of the two curtains is made of material that has the same thickness and texture, but a different color. They are hung on a two-railing cornice and assembled so that the canvases intersect.

Room for a boy

As a teenager, boys begin to gravitate to darker tones in the interior. They also usually prefer dense plain fabrics - because in their understanding, curtains are not decoration, but just an object that allows you to protect yourself from the annoying sun in the morning and from the light of lanterns at night. When designing a window, it is important to consider this fact.

Curtain Options

For the boy, the following types of curtains will be most advantageous:

• Roleta - they have a rather interesting mechanism that lowers and raises the canvas.If you also allow the owner of the room to take part in the installation of this design, his joy will surely have no limit.
• Roman curtains - They are restrained, minimalistic, but incredibly comfortable and fit perfectly into the boyish rhythm of life. It is almost impossible to break or ruin them, pulling the chain stronger than it should.
• Day Night - This is one of the novelties in the market for curtain materials. The canvas consists of alternating horizontal stripes, some of which absolutely do not transmit light, while others are completely transparent. The curtain is sewn “into a ring” and scrolled using a special mechanism. To varying degrees, overlapping transparent strips tinted, you can create the most comfortable lighting. A boy who is interested in all the unusual and new technologies will like this solution.

Of course, the possibility of hanging the most ordinary curtains is not ruled out. At the same time, it is advisable to choose fabrics with coarse weaving (such as matting) for them - they will last longer and more harmoniously fit into the interior.

Color scheme

The most suitable are warm shades of blue, emerald and petrol color. Also in the children's room for the boy brown and beige, gray tones are appropriate.

It is advisable to avoid the black color in the interior of a teenager’s room, since it negatively affects the psyche that has not yet matured and can cause a depressive state. However, in combination with brighter and more cheerful colors, black is quite acceptable.

It is impossible not to say that curtains with patterns often look more advantageous than plain ones. Firstly, they help revitalize the room, create some kind of accent in it; and secondly, they can visually “push apart” the space, increasing the area of ​​the room. Despite the great popularity of plain materials, for teenagers there are quite attractive fabrics with a contrasting geometric pattern, as well as images of cars, characters from computer games or films, bats or owls, with stylization of tree foliage, wood and other natural motifs.

By the way, sometimes boys insist that they do not want to see curtains in their room. This problem is easiest to solve in a private house - install shutters. If a teenager is fond of creativity, there is another decision - to buy him a fabric that is suitable for drawing, as well as special paints for textiles. He is unlikely to want to abandon curtains created with his own hands - after all, this is not just a matter of pride, but also an occasion to surprise guests with his talent.

Before deciding how to arrange a window in the room of a boy or girl who entered adolescence, you should definitely consult with them. After all, it is for them to live in this room, and his mood depends on how pleased the child is with the decoration of the place where he spends most of his time. And if the child does not yet have good taste, a joint discussion of the interior will help instill the concept of what is truly beautiful and appropriate, and what is better to leave in fantasies.
