Bedroom Decor Ideas for Teens in Pink & White

Pastel Pink

• As soft and delicate as a flower, pastel pink echoes "the blush of a young woman's cheeks," according to Sensational Color. Paired with celadon or sage green and shades of off-white or ivory, this bedroom motif is ideal for a free-spirited nature lover who could spend hours sipping tea in a garden. Select a comforter or duvet and coordinating drapes in patterns like toile, chintz or floral motifs to carry the theme throughout the room, while shabby chic and antique accessories provide finishing touches.

Shocking Pink

• Sensational Color states that "shocking pink was introduced to western fashion by Elsa Schiaparelli in 1947, though it is now commonly known as magenta." Whether you lean more toward magenta or a neon pink, these vivacious colors add energy and sass to a room, especially when coupled with rich black and stark, diamond white. Bold modern furniture accents the trendy shade, while animal prints such as zebra and leopard add fun and youthfulness. Damask brings a bit of gothic flair to the space and can be executed in wallpaper borders, framed wallpaper samples, stenciled on walls or in bedding and curtains.

Pink on Pink

• Combining shades of pink creates tonal depth and offers a variety of motif styles. Go retro with pink-on-pink polka dots and squares or geometric prints, while feminine toiles or softer damask prints create a more grown-up space. White drapes trimmed in pink sequined or beaded ribbon and accented with appliques gives the room a relaxed and inviting appeal, while pink-on-pink bedding with white throw pillows prevents an unsightly aging appearance in comforters or shams.

Pink in Patterns

• Striped pink and white or pink on pink walls with crisp white molding, toile curtains with polka dot sashes and damask wainscoting with pinstriped wallpaper and a solid chair rail can all add flair to a room without requiring an overall theme. Mix and match patterns that coordinate and complement each other without overwhelming each other or the space.

  Solid white walls with a pink accent wall and more emphasis on patterned bedding and drapes offers a versatile space your teen can grow into -- not out of.
