Teen Decor Ideas With Pine Furniture

Shabby Chic

• Shabby chic is a feminine, eclectic decor style, and a sensible choice if you're working with a budget. It features light, neutral colors, soft pastels and muted shades with plenty of white for a clean, fresh look. White-painted wood furniture is popular in shabby chic rooms; however, pine furniture with a natural wood finish complements the delicate colors and adds a warm, rustic vibe. This style features lots of fabrics such as patchwork quilts, floral-prints and gingham. Search thrift stores, flea markets and antique shops for bargain vintage-style accessories such as chandeliers, mirrors and perfume bottles.

Country Style

• Country decor styles feature furniture ranging from dark mahogany to light pine, wicker and iron. Combine your pine furniture with a wicker chair or baskets, and wrought-iron accents such as a bedside table or mirror frame. There is no set color scheme for country decor, so combine pastels with darker shades and use a country-print wallpaper to create an accent wall. Add attractive country bedding and pile pillows and throws on top for a really relaxed, inviting space. With the right color palette, this style is suitable for boys, as well as girls.

Zen Style

• Although zen is a minimalist decor style, it's still possible to incorporate all the important aspects of a teen bedroom without compromising the overall effect. Pine furniture complements an Asian-inspired zen room, as this style features light-colored wood and other natural materials such as wicker and bamboo. Combine with natural fabrics such as cotton and silk. The color palette should be made up of soothing colors such as neutrals, pastels and light hues of serene blue and calming green. Add splashes of bolder hues with bedding and accessories, and continue the oriental theme with Japanese artwork.

Bohemian Decor

• Bohemian-style decor is a cozy mix of styles and color, creating a warm and slightly cluttered appearance. Leave some items of pine furniture with a natural finish, use a wood stain on others to dramatically darken the wood and paint other pieces for an eclectic mix. This style features bold colors and patterns, and layers of plush fabrics for texture. Combining a modern and a vintage wallpaper creates a striking accent wall. For a touch of the exotic, create a bed canopy with sheer fabric such as gossamer or tulle. Combine modern and vintage accessories and continue the exotic theme with Moroccan lamps.
