Bright Color Decorating Ideas for a Teen Room

Hot Pink

• Hot pink is one bright option for a teen room. You don't have to paint an entire room in hot pink; you can use it as a single accent wall paired with white walls or in a patterned wallpaper of bright pink and white stripes. Alternatively, paint the four walls hot pink, but ensure you open up the space with plenty of white textiles, stainless steel or silver-plated accessories.

Orange and Yellow

• Orange and yellow are other bright colors that work well in a teen bedroom. Create a feminine orange and yellow polka dot look or a masculine orange and yellow stripe look. You can also paint two walls white, one wall orange and another wall yellow; the accent walls will create contrast while still incorporating the bright colors into the overall style. Keep your accessories such as your textiles a combination of solid orange, solid yellow and a combination of the two colors.

Red and Gold

• Red and gold aren't typical teen colors, but they can work as bright options in a male or female teen bedroom. Use these colors in an Asian-inspired bedroom, a Hollywood movie theater bedroom or simply in a red and gold-based space. Paint three walls a soft cream and the fourth wall red, and incorporate gold trims and moldings throughout the space. Accessorize with red and gold textiles in trendy teen prints such as modern plaid or floral, and add framed art work with teenage celebrities to the walls.

Purple and Orange

• Purple and orange work well in a teenage bedroom. Pair an orange accent wall and three purple walls together if you have a room that has lots of natural light and is spacious. Alternatively, you can paint one wall orange, another purple and the other two walls white if you do not have a large room to work with or if there is limited natural light. Pair orange and purple textiles in paisley, tartan or wild abstract print together with solid orange and purple for a youthful flare.
