Colors and their combinations
Not every girl prefers to live in a pink room.
Often, to the surprise of parents, girls like blue, turquoise, mint and even dark tones. Many teenagers are especially sensitive to the rhythm of modern trends. We must not forget that with age they begin to follow everything that is in trend, this is also expressed in color preferences. At the same time, in adolescence, a girl no longer strives to imitate adults: self-expression is important, which is often associated with rebellion. This is reflected in the ambiguous color contrasts
Interestingly, they often look creative, but stylish and appropriate. For example, the combination looks good:
- light gray with wine and white;
- gray-pink, white and light gray;
- gray with white and light purple;
- white and purple;
- blue with white and gray;
- white with beige and black;
- terracotta, blue and white;
- brown with beige, blue and peach;
- brown with pink and beige;
- terracotta with white and gray;
- grey-mint with white;
- pink with black and white.
People develop their own preferences not only in clothing and behavior: not only the pattern and tone are noticed, but also the texture of the wall cladding. Therefore, girls often refuse standard prints and prefer one, but bright and expressive accent. You can do it using stickers, which abound on store shelves today.
Options for choosing wallpaper for a teenager depending on the gender of the child
Parents should always remember that teenagers are not afraid of bright and unexpected experiments, much less of something new and unknown. Therefore, they look quite easily at any experiments in their room. But, parents should take into account that, for example, an inappropriate color can quite intensively depress the psychological state of a teenager. And a drawing that is incorrectly chosen in proportion can negatively affect the perception of space. This is especially evident when the room is small in size.
For a teenage room, two types of wallpaper are most often used - plain and contrasting.
The pattern on the wallpaper is chosen based on the interests of the teenager

- Choose a neutral base color.
- Dark or too bright, bordering on ultra, shades can lead to depression.
- Understand the child's inner world. This way you can choose a suitable wallpaper design that will resonate with your psychological and individual state.
- Always go shopping for wallpaper together. Try to come to a common compromise.

Original parts
To make the interior of the room where a teenager lives original, feel free to use unusual ideas.
A creative solution is a swing in the room or, for example, a hanging chair. Children tend to believe that their parents cannot come up with anything original; this way you can surprise your child, and the teenager will definitely like the idea itself.
Sitting in such an unusual chair, the child will be able to read his favorite book or think about school matters. And riding on a swing in the room is generally every child’s dream.
Ordinary floor chairs make the room heavier, but hanging chairs do not have this drawback.
Such a piece of furniture will be complemented by other transparent elements, for example, a chair or table with a glass top.
You can install a mirrored chest of drawers in a teenager's bedroom. Such furniture serves both a practical purpose (used for storing things) and a decorative one.
Another original detail is the unusual window design. Attach a beautiful cornice to the ceiling and decorate the window opening with Roman blinds.
You can organize a relaxation area on the windowsill: place a comfortable seat and pillows with decorative trim. The child will be able to read while sitting on the windowsill, or simply look out the window, watching passers-by.
In a teenager's bedroom, you can turn one of the walls into a kind of brickwork. The child can make graffiti on the wall

Young fashionistas will certainly appreciate the glamorous bedroom decor. You need to understand in what style the girl wants to decorate her room and take into account many details.
The room can be decorated in white in combination with black, and add some bright notes by placing rich accents. For example, decorate the surface of the wall above the headboard in black, and make the remaining walls light; the headboard can be rich yellow, as are the pillows on the bed.
An original decorative element is paintings, the background of which is dark, and the inscriptions are white, in elegant light frames.
The headboard imitates notes from a newspaper looks impressive. A bed with such a headboard will be complemented by a small soft ottoman, pillows with blue or golden embroidery and small drawings on the walls.

For a school age girl
A room for a first-grader differs significantly from a nursery for toddlers, not only in furniture, but also in overall design. For a girl of primary school age, bright, distracting colors on the wall with small drawings will interfere with her ability to concentrate on completing the task.
Among design techniques, there are often options when wallpaper with a pattern is pasted on only one of the walls, and the rest are decorated in a similar color scheme, but in a single color. This is an interesting technique. For example, wallpaper with butterflies is beautiful, but if they are everywhere, it will tire the child somewhat.
Bright accents in the room of a 7-8 year old girl are still necessary, so she will not feel drowsy and tired.
Older girls have a need for a relaxing atmosphere in the room. From the age of 9-10, they give preference to delicate pastel shades in design.
Combining wallpaper will make your daughter's room unusual and interesting. The main thing is to follow the following rules:
- The colors should be compatible with each other, without sharp transitions.
- It is advisable to duplicate the colors of one of the selected wallpapers in the room’s accessories (pillows, photo frames, lamp shade, etc.).
A selection of photos of children's rooms for girls, presented in the photo gallery, will help you create your own interesting and original design.
Combination, in addition to the decorative function, can help divide the space into zones (study, relaxation).
