Decorating Ideas for a Teen Bedroom in Black, White & Pink

Classic French

• The sleek simplicity of black and white provides a sophisticated backdrop for a French-style bedroom. Paired with touches of delicate parasol pink, the look takes on an unmistakably feminine allure. Paint the walls in broad vertical stripes of pink, using two pale shades with one just slightly darker than the other. A black wrought iron headboard and other furniture pieces sit in stark contrast to this delicate backdrop. Choose crisp white fabrics for the bedding and window hangings with accents of pink and black such as a throw pillow with a black silhouette of the Eiffel tower or a striped throw at the foot of the bed. Complete the theme with wall decals featuring French phrases.

Modern Fashion

• Teens with a passion for fashion can take black, white and pink decor in a lively modern direction. Paint the walls in a frosty pink and add the inky black silhouette of a city skyline around the bottom of the room. Stick with clean-lined furniture pieces in pristine white. Select bedding in a modern black and white pattern. Add a bit of allure with small lacy touches like black sheers over the windows with hot pink lace tie backs. Frame prints of fashion models or modern art featuring pieces such as shoes for the finishing touch.

Rock Star

• Used in prints like zebra and leopard, black, white and pink depart from the realm of the demure and delicate and take on a new, wild identity. For a teen’s rock star themed bedroom, pinks should be bright and screaming. Keep the walls white with a touch of black in the trim or a border around the top of the room. Bring out the pink and black in animal print bedding and bright window treatments. Decorate the walls with decals featuring the silhouette of a pop star, music notes or instruments. For girls who are performers themselves, a circular rug in the corner can serve as a makeshift spotlight with a guitar stand, mic stand or drum set positioned in the middle for practice.

Elegant Princess

• The pampered princess theme isn’t exclusive to little girls. With some grown up touches, this look can be adapted for teenage royalty. Use a rosy pink on the walls and stencil on an elegant fleur-de-lis or damask style pattern in deeper pink on an accent wall. Keep the bedding white and luxurious with a thick down comforter, silk sheets and plenty of throw pillows. Bring black into the accents with monogrammed pillowcases, black and white striped throw pillows and black patterned chair upholstery. Forget Disney princesses, and instead feature real life royalty in the artwork such as Marie Antoinette.
