Pimp Yo’ Teen’s
Crib – or How to Choose Teen Bedding!
If you hardly
ever see your child – and when you do, they’re speaking in an alien
language, they’re probably ready for a teenage room.
You may have been putting this off for many
reasons. I’m guessing you’re concerned they’re going to want
to paint the walls black or purple. And, you are thinking they will
probably cover up any wall space with posters – so what’s the point
of decorating anyway?
Your teen may be at that stage where a simple
enquiry as to how their day went meets with a Neanderthal grunt or
rolling eyes. Getting together to
redesign a bedroom and choosing appropriate teen bedding probably
seems like an impossible and potentially painful process, best
avoided!
Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here
Nowadays, many teenagers don’t just sleep in
their bedrooms. They have a TV (with DVD player), a music system
and often a computer. So they probably choose to spend most of
their time there. Being sent to their room is not a punishment any
more!
Teens have very definite ideas about what
they like – and are even more definite about what they
don’t like. For that reason, it’s not a
great idea to buy bedding without their input or approval. It’s
highly likely that they won’t like it – and even if they do, they’ll
say they won’t! Gotta love those teens!
Media Input
TV shows like MTV Cribs have shown teens how
their favorite celebrities live. They get to see inside their
bedrooms and find out just how they dress their beds. Your teen
will probably appreciate that you haven’t got as much cash to spend
as Mariah Carey – but it’s amazing what can be created with minimal
money and maximum imagination.
Teen Movies are big now and they often show
bedrooms. A particular favorite is Regina’s room in the movie ‘Mean
Girls’. Or how about Summer’s bedroom in TV’s The O.C.?
