Modern luxury for tween and teens

Teenage, a phase when you feel everything revolves around you. You have to look perfect and have to be liked by others. The same goes for your room. It has to be a cool and casual place to hang out with friends.
Check out these swell teen sanctuaries from Zalf, Italy.

I personally like these but loved their earlier collection, which follows...

All the designs are meant to fulfill a teen’s needs. Comfortable, roomy, a good place for studying, ample of storage and above all it "cool". It also has to be a casual place for meeting with friends.Any of these room designs would make a teenager happy and contended. And if you are a teen parent you know how important that is.

Make it worldly!!!

Challenged by an empty space on the wall, why not hang a map. Whether it’s a vintage print of your favorite city or a wall-size illustration of the world, a map can bring graphic punch to a room and at the same time make it more personal. In kids room decor, incorporating maps in the design is one of the best example of funtional and interactive design. Besides it is not gender specific and is cool for all ages.

Just because you're decorating with maps doesn't mean you are limited in the style or colors you can incorporate into your child's bedroom. via

Here is one for those who prefer art to geography.....this watercolor modern art is apt to brighten any child's bedroom or play room .Via

.A silhouette like this one with chalkboard paint will be a nice clean slate for a tween or a teens room. Via

The map wallpaper is perfect for the young explorer and the leather and canvas trim on the headboard tie in the colors of the map.via

Just between us adults here, what better way to sneak a little bit of extra educational experience into your kid's world?

Petit Parisian

Which little fashonista wouldn't love to be in Paris? ....everyday!

This room was designed for Sanya, a 10 year old sweet little girl who loves the colour purple, lives in India and is a true fashonista. The final concept is what you can see in the above picture.
Sanya's parents wanted a concept room, where she could grown into her teens, which would have her favourite colours and can utilize some of the existing furniture. Good challenge to have! And to make it reflect a fashonista's taste...what do you do?
My mind drifted to the fashion capital - Paris! Ooh la la.. And that's how the theme and colour scheme was decided. No Poodles or polka dots for Sanya, but something more mature. A concept which she will enjoy as she grows into her teens.

To give a feel of Paris, I designed a sunroof from where she could see the eternal symbol of Paris - the crown of the Eiffel tower. Her study table took the shape of an upright piano and the TV was mounted on a french style paneled wall. Check out how the before and after wall looks like.

Her keyboard had to be incorporated in the design, so the table also holds her music keyboard, which can  be pulled out whenever she likes a musical break.  

The existing french paneled wardrobe was coloured with her favourite  purple to match the bed. Some crystal knobs added to its elegance and the Parisian touch.

 A floral (of course, Purple) wall paper and striped window drapes added colour and pattern to the room.

An  existing nook was transformed  by adding a drawer and mirror shuttered cabinets, a purple pouffe below and voila!! We have a small  but a much needed dressing table. 

A bin was added near the entrace to drop her raquects, balls etc as she enters her own Paris.

The doors were covered with soft board to pin-up here art work, snaps and whatever else she would like to show. 

                                     

A swing next to the window, a fun extra seat when friends are over, a nice place to read or chill and watch TV from, completed the room

I am sure Sanya and her compagnons will enjoy and appreciate this room as they grow. The only thing that will perhaps need replacement in her latter teen years is the bed. A nice french style bed with mirror finished side tables will complete the look!

For now Sanya and I are quite over the top.  It was a pleasure to see her room complete and the smile on Sanya's face said it all! Hope you like the room and had fun reading about it as much as I enjoyed creating the room.
