The essentials of the industrial teenager’s bedroom
To give a convincing industrial style to a teenager’s room, we make sure to adopt the very specific codes of this decoration… while adapting them a little!
If we respect the codes of industrial decoration to the letter, gray and black are the two key colors to adopt as a priority. If this type of dark palette works in a teen bedroom, a more colorful palette may be preferred. Prefer smoky colors such as green or gray blue. Red and dapper yellow are to be introduced with caution. Because if we can give some pep to the decor, the atmosphere must remain conducive to rest.
Brick wallpaper is a precious ally for a very wise bedroom to have a real loft spirit. Depending on the brightness of the room, you can opt for a classic color or for an imitation white brick.
The blackboard effect paint is not exclusively reserved for the children’s room: it is also great for giving an industrial look to the industrial teenager’s room. The good idea is to completely cover the accent wall with it, in order to give depth to the room… and to offer an XXL space for expression to your teenager!
On the furniture side, the industrial locker-type wardrobe offers maximum space. It is therefore a great alternative to the classic dressing room in a teenager’s bedroom with an industrial look. To give it a note of originality, consider customizing it yourself, for example by tagging it.
With its numerous storage spaces, the industrial desk is ultra-functional: a godsend, to equip a teenager’s room! It is also your best ally to give character to the decor.
The element not to be overlooked in the industrial teenager’s bedroom is the bed linen. The vintage print is a classic option, but very effective. You may prefer plain bed linen, a tile pattern or a tartan print.
Tips for a small industrial teenager’s bedroom
The industrial style gives pride of place to wood and metal: in other words, the furniture is rather imposing. However, it is quite possible to adopt this type of decoration in a small teenager’s room. All it takes is a few tips!
Pallets are enough to give an industrial look to the decor. So we eliminate the box spring! In this small bedroom, we used the pallets to create a large platform, on which is installed the mattress, but also a trunk offering a nice storage space.
The DIY headboard in paneling, battens or pallets is another smart solution to accentuate the industrial style of the teenage bedroom. It is also a good way to optimize space, for example by integrating a wall lamp that will replace the classic bedside lamp.
Industrial-style teenager’s room: room for creativity!
Industrial decoration advocates recovery, makeovers, but also upcycling and the diversion of objects. Enough to create a rather unique decoration in your teenager’s room!
A container as a bedside table? That’s smart, especially if you add a discreet opening to transform it into extra storage. And we don’t hesitate to customize it!
We love the portable lamp as a bedside lamp! Not only does it have a very authentic factory character, but it is also practical for fine-tuning the lighting. All you need is a curtain rod hung above the headboard, on which you just have to hang it!
The four-poster bed in an industrial teenager? Good idea ! All you have to do is make a small makeover operation – for example by removing the veils or curtains in favor of a guinguette garland.
In this teenager’s room, the walls are entirely covered in paint. Yes, but not anyhow! In addition to a base that creates a very chill atmosphere, we imagined an interesting staging by creating a simple rectangle that underlines the wall decoration.
The industrial teenager’s room does not take itself seriously! To give it a little playful twist, dare an offbeat piece – for example the XXL floor lamp inspired by the classic industrial desk lamp. You can even take the opportunity to introduce a touch of vibrant color.
The mistake to avoid at all costs to develop an industrial-style teen bedroom is to invest in coordinated furniture. Because what makes the charm of this decor is precisely the combination of mismatched pieces! We therefore do not hesitate to associate Scandinavian style and industrial style. We also allow ourselves a lot of freedom in decorative accessories! In this teenager’s bedroom, a flowerpot and Boho cactus sit side by side with a trophy that could adorn a chalet decor bedroom.
