Though every teenager is different, we want to introduce you to five quick and easy teenage bedroom ideas that you can implement to improve your teen’s space. From optimising their home gaming setup to ensuring that they have sufficient storage space, here are five tips that you can act on without breaking the bank.
Optimise the Gaming Setup
Many teenagers love video games, and the chances are that your teen has a PS4, PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. Some teens even have several consoles, but one console is an absolute must in most teen households. If your teenager has a console in their bedroom, you can optimise their gaming setup with one simple device - a wall mount.
At Dynas, we supply gaming wall mounts for every console, including the latest PS5 Slim, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Mounting a console on the wall takes just a few minutes and means you can free up desk, floor, or shelf space in your teen’s bedroom. It also protects the console from accidental damage and serves as a statement piece on the bedroom wall.
If you want to go to town for your teen’s gaming space, treat them to a gaming chair so they can sit back and play their favourite video games after a hard day at school.
Install a Sound System
Every teenager has their own musical taste, often to the despair of their parents! Rather than letting your son or daughter control Alexa in the kitchen or living room, you can set them up with a sound system in their own bedroom, meaning that you can listen to all of your own favourites when you’re trying to relax downstairs.Sonos is one of the best speaker systems on the market, and you can use one of our Sonos wall mounts to fix your teen’s sound system to their bedroom wall. Another option is to invest in noise-cancelling headphones for your teen, which is smart if their taste in music is at odds with your own.
Include a Study Space
All teens need a space to study, and setting up an optimal study area in their bedroom makes sense. If there is enough space, you can opt for a full-size desk with drawers, a great way to keep some of their important documents safe. Alternatively, folding desks are a great option. You can attach a folding desk to the wall, and your teen can clip it into place when they need to use it.You should also make a provision for their laptop computer and any study books they need, so a floating shelf above the study space is another great addition. Make sure you consult your teen before putting the study space together, as they need to be comfortable with the area that you create for them.
Add Personal Photos
Deciding how to decorate your teen’s room isn’t easy, particularly if they’re going through a specific phase that you’re not sold on. A good idea for bedroom décor is to keep things neutral and add personal photos to the walls to create a homely touch. You can simply print off pictures of family and friends and add them to frames, or you can create canvases to add to your kids’ bedroom walls that they will undoubtedly love.Another option is to consider your teen’s hobbies before adding photos or posters to the wall. Of course, you could always give your kids free rein over what they add to their walls, or you could chat with them about what you think is reasonable. Creating or designing something together is meaningful and can be a great way to add a personal touch to your teen’s bedroom.
Don’t Forget Storage Space
Did you know that the average family home has 300,000 items? It’s crazy, we know, but you need to be smart with your storage space to ensure your house isn’t cluttered. Teens tend to accumulate lots of stuff as they grow and mature, so having enough storage space in their bedroom is super important, particularly if you want them to keep their bedroom clean and tidy!Think of ways of maximising under bed storage, be it with a bed that comes with storage built in, or via plastic boxes that keep things free from dust. You might also consider built-in wardrobes or under-desk storage for your kids, but these additions can be fairly costly. Again, talk to your teens about how to store their things and make the best use of the available space.

These five teenage bedroom ideas are quick, easy, and cost-effective. They can all help to maximise the space available to your teens while improving the layout and aesthetic of their bedroom.
