Tween Girls Room Decorating Ideas

Decorating a tween girl's bedroom is hard.

Gone are the days when you had control over everything, from their clothes to their room decor.

Now they have opinions, and many times they're wildly different from yours.

At least that's how it is in my house, anyway.

Can anybody else relate?!

Man, I sure hope so … because I might need a support group over the next few years. 😉

Kidding. Well, sort of.

How to find common decorating ground with your tween daughter

This past fall, I redesigned my now eight-year old's bedroom as part of the One Room Challenge.

Here's a peek at the design board I put together that inspired the room:

You can see her full room reveal right here.

That said, these design challenges are sometimes misleading.

For example, with the One Room Challenge, you might believe that everything — from coming up with a design concept to styling that last throw pillow — happens in a mere six weeks.

That's rarely true.

Yes, I may have done the actual work to make over Haley's bedroom in just six weeks, but what you didn't hear about is the fact that it took us months to mutually agree upon a room design. (You can see her bedroom reveal right here!)

Yes, months. She and I started talking about a room makeover back in April.

That's seven months before the One Room Challenge started.

Here's what her brand new bedroom looks like now.

You might be wondering how, then, we finally agreed on a design plan.

Well, I'll tell you.

If you and your tween are at a standoff when it comes to redecorating, here are a couple tips that I used in my own home that helped my daughter and I find some common ground:

• Think about things she loves, and build a design plan from there. Is your daughter a star soccer player? Does she love horseback riding? Is she obsessed with rainbows? Find a way to incorporate those things into her room somehow. Try a pillow shaped like a soccer ball, a wall art print of a horse, or bedding or an area rug that has all the colors in it. And tell her why you chose those items.
• Take it a step further … ask her what she's loving these days. Take it a step further and ask about what she's loving this very moment. I don't know about you, but my daughter has a new hobby or love every week (or so it seems!) so I'm constantly asking her about new things she's liking right now. For example, she used to like the color pink when she was younger but her new favorite color combo is black and white. Find ways to work those new interests into her room plan. If you guessed some of the stuff she loves already, then three cheers for you. But always good to talk with her and figure out what interests (or colors or designs or characters) matter most.
• Show her examples of room designs you think she might like. Last but not least, share some photos of rooms you think she'll like so she has something to react to.

The best tween girls bedroom design ideas

As part of our planning process, I spent so many evenings looking through Pinterest and design magazines and blogs to find great examples of colorful tween girl bedroom ideas that I thought Haley might like.

So I thought it might be helpful for me to share all that inspiration with you too.
