3 Pink Ideas for a Teen Girl’s Bedroom

Pink is the perfect feminine color. Ideal for use in every room from the baby's nursery to the master bathroom, pink is a soothing, cheerful and warm color. When used in a teen girl's bedroom, pink can also take on a vibrant hue that is more akin to diva star that ballerina. The three sassy ideas for using pink in a teen girl's bedroom below are perfect for every type of teen girl.

Punk Rock Pink

If the baby girl has grown to her teenage years loving the punk rock scene, pink can still be incorporated into her bedroom decor. Although untraditional, hot pink skulls, roses and fabrics perfectly accent bold, black decor. There are no signs of pastel pink in this room; instead, the bright, bold hot pink that is used contains energy, excitement and personality. Getting the punk rock teen to accept pink in the decor should not be difficult, as many punk rock decorations and accessories feature girly pink skulls and black and pink plaids. Even punk rockers love their feminine side, and the use of hot pink in the teen's bedroom will keep her grounded in femininity.

Cheer Squad

Many young girls grow up wanting to be cheerleaders, and teenagers are no different. For the teen cheerleader, decorating the room in pink and white is a great way to combine fun, flirty colors with her love of cheering. Choose a cheerful pink that is brighter than a pastel, but softer than a hot pink for the room. Paint the walls either white or pink and accent them with the alternate color. Pink walls will look especially good with white trim and molding. Cheerleader theme throw rugs, bedding and curtains can all carry the theme through the room while incorporating the pretty pink and white color scheme. White furniture is ideal and pink accessories, such as bedside lamps and picture frames, are perfect. Be sure to include pink and white pompoms for the perfect cheerleader look.

Sweet Retreat

What could be better than a relaxing retreat of a bedroom after a long day at school?  For the studious, bookworm teen girl, a punk rock or cheerleader theme room is a definite no, but a comfortable, relaxing space is perfect.  Add a soft, mellow pink to the walls of a room of this sort.  It should be a warm pastel that is sophisticated, yet casual.  A large, comfortable chair placed in the corner covered in a floral fabric that incorporates the pink is also a must.  Comforters and linens should contain the same pink hue, but can also be accented with creams and whites. Accent with vintage style outdoor metal wall artworkor dragonfly metal art.  Although the look of the room may be shabby chic, the goal will be a functional space for studying, relaxing and resting.  The shade of pink on the walls will help with achieving those goals.

Adding pink to a teenage girl's room can be a tricky proposition without the input of the teen herself.  Parental and teenage expectations of what a bedroom should be decorated like can vary greatly.  By having the teen help in the planning and execution of the design, she will be more invested in the outcome and the room itself.  Create a special bedroom by using a pink that reflects her personality and interests, but always make sure she is included in the design.
