When it comes to bedroom color palettes, a color that is often overlooked is black. Decorating with black is considered by many as a risky affair at the best of times, and the popular trend has been to use light, relaxing backdrops in the bedroom along with bright accent hues. The resurgence of gray as the hot new neutral has also helped in pushing black to the backdrop. Yet, bedrooms in black are beautiful, stylish and have an inimitable visual flair that is hard to match. Black bedrooms can turn that small space into a chic refuge where the bold and the dramatic meet cozy, contemporary flamboyance!
An Air of Sophistication
Black is one of the automatic choices in the color scheme when it comes to shaping cool bachelor pads. The bedroom is no different in this regard, and the dark backdrop allows the beautiful light fixtures and the wonderful vase collection to shine through brilliantly. The ceiling, ambient light fixtures, the carpet and the bed are all draped in black to accentuate this effect. A perfect example of how fabulous lighting can alter the appeal of a dark room…

Glossy graphic circles in silver ensure that the dark backdrop is not too monotonous, while the white bedding and pillows offer perfect visual contrast. The black wallpaper adds much more than just color to the room. It brings texture and pattern in a casual, beautiful fashion. Both the nightstands and the table lamps give the room symmetry, making it seem a lot more airy.

While the general norm is to have an all-white background with trims in darker shades, this unique contemporary bedroom embraces black and turns towards white for the trims! A dark ceiling makes the visual effect even more stark, while the playful addition of red creates an instant focal point in the room.

Go Beyond the Walls
You need not always paint the walls black to bring the allure of the dark hue into your bedroom. This homeowner has used the ceiling to bring in the bold color. The wallpaper lends visual lightness to the room, as well as plenty of color and pattern. Dark cabinets in the room and the bedding ensure that black remains the dominant color in this eclectic bedroom.

The delicate balance between black and white in this modern minimalist bedroom is what gives the space its inimitable aura. While the ceiling and the gorgeous drapes usher in white, the flooring and the wall behind the bed bring in the touch of black. A wonderful blend of natural and artificial light gives the bedroom a warm, inviting vibe.

Paisley is a pattern that is both classic and recognized across the world. Yet finding it in a trendy, contemporary bedroom does take you by surprise. It becomes even more unique when it is paired with black to shape a refined and ravishing bedroom. Here is another lovely instance of using bedding, drapes and wallpaper to add black to the room in a stunning way.

Creativity and Color
Black looks gorgeous even in traditional bedrooms, and smart pops of orange infuse life into this relaxed setting. Black lamp shades, four-poster bed frame and the dark backdrop blend with one another elegantly, while ample natural ventilation ensures that there are no dark corners in the room. The addition of white trim also helps in giving the room better definition.

One color that looks truly splendid when paired with black is yellow, and this ingenious bedroom celebrates the pairing in a brilliantly abstract way. The jigsaw headboard is the showstopper here, and the presence of a dark, uniform background allows it to become the focal point. A yellow bedside table, throw pillows and vase add further tinges of yellow to the glamorous room.

Metallic accents have leaped to the top of the latest trends chart in 2014, and if you are not too happy with yellow, gold is another great option. Even though black is the dominant color in this bedroom along with white, it is the carefully placed gold accents that draw your eyes instantly here. And if you are ever bored with the color, you can easily switch to another shade without too much hassle. Exquisite framed black and white photographs also play an important role in shaping the ambiance of the room.

Bright lights, a splash of yellow and the iconic Nelson pendant light are the first things that you notice in this bedroom. Yet it is the all-black backdrop that puts the spotlight on these additions! Working with black in a teen bedroom is easy, and it leaves you with a room that can be easily turned into an adult bedroom without a major makeover. Cool and classy to the core!

If you're looking for teen bedroom ideas, it's tricky to know where to start. When they were kids, bedroom design was usually based on what they were obsessed with – Paw Patrol, Disney Princesses, Pepper Pig. Now your teens are starting to develop their own 'taste' that you probably have to take into consideration when decorating their bedroom.
Find all our bedroom ideas in one spot, on our dedicated page.
'As your children become teenagers, their room definitely needs to reflect their personalities.' says Medina King of MK Kids Interiors. 'An extra bed for sleepovers, a desk for study with plenty storage shelves, a chillout zone and cool lighting are essential for a teenager's bedroom.'
Unfortunately, decorating a teen's bedroom will need you to relinquish some control over color and furniture choices. But as it's unlikely they're paying for it, you have fiscal control – use it to veto their worst ideas. We've put together plenty of bedroom ideas for teens to help you come up with the perfect design for them (and you!).

Why do this? Well, it creates a degree of separation and tons more space, with the area beneath the bed being used for hang-out or study space. See the curtains round the high sleeper bed? Another great trick. It's a great solution for a bedroom in the eaves and it's just generally a good way to make a small bedroom feel larger.
2. Create a girly space that's not super girly
(Image credit: IKEA)
If your child is just about growing out of pink but still clinging to it just a bit, this decorating scheme is bang on – grown-up monotones, tempered with pale pinks. If you are working will a small space or more likely, knowing most teenagers, a messy and crowded room, then a single bed with a pull out bed and storage can be the elegant solution that you can actually control (unlike them). In fact, any piece of furniture that is multi-purposeful is always a handy buy.

3. Can't agree a scheme? Work up a Pinterest board
(Image credit: Furniture Choice )
If 'dunno' is the answer to your questions about favorite colors or themes, set up a Pinterest pinboard and invite your offspring to add photos that appeal. Good keywords to kick things off include 'retro', 'monochrome', 'tropical' and Scandi'. Complete disinterest is basically a green light to do what you want, so don't lose it if you're not getting the desired feedback.
More likely, your child will get carried away with suggestions, and you'll need to diplomatically rein things in. Explain how the most successful schemes have one or two core colors, then find inexpensive accessories that will bring in pattern and texture.

5. Plan the layout of a teenage bedroom
(Image credit: Ikea)
The main difference between a teenager's bedroom and any other age group is they essentially live in them. Approach the layout like a studio apartment and include an area for lounging with friends (bean bags are gold for those who can still get up off the floor without grunting), and a desk for homework/gaming.
If space is tight but you have high-ish ceilings, get the bed up off the floor and you'll effectively double the room size. Layered lighting, with adjustable lamps by the bed and desk, will prevent eyestrain while they are glued to screens. Speaking of which, save the biggest one for a family room to ensure you see them beyond meal times.
6. Let them express their personality
(Image credit: John Lewis)
Allow teens to express their sense of style and achieve a space that feels their own via the walls. Temporary solutions can be easily switched once they've left home so look for teenage bedroom ideas that can be removed easily. Framed photos of friends and band posters are to be encouraged, graffiti and anything X-rated, not so much. Wall decals and stickers will do minimum damage to the plasterwork, or use picture shelves to prevent the wall acne fallout of excessive Blu-Tack.
There's a strong chance your tastes will clash, or your teen will make them clash just to be contrary. Stay sane by remembering the number one rule of parenting – 'This, too, shall pass'.
7. Choose a sturdy desk in a teen's bedroom
(Image credit: Cuckooland)
When it comes to choosing the best desk – go for the best you can afford to achieve a sturdy study base that looks like it means business. The aim is to encourage revision away from the nap-temptations of bed. Make sure the chair is genuinely comfortable for those inevitable late-night swotting sessions. A chair with an adjustable seat will grow with your teen, helping to maintain comfortable spine alignment. Their feet should sit flat on the floor with knees at a right-angle to hips.
8. Create a display space
(Image credit: Wayfair )
Look out for bedroom ideas for teens that encourage an organized mind. For us this means pinboards. Make one using corkboard, then paint or cover in fabric (attached with a staple gun) for color co-ordinating kudos. A blackboard wall opens up the potential for creative freedom, use magnetic paint if you still want to be able to display photos and postcards. To add storage to the mix go for a pegboard with shelf, hook and caddy components.
9. Make room for sleepovers
(Image credit: IKEA)
Stop your searching because we've found the perfect time- and space-saver for your kids' sleepovers: a foldable mattress is super easy to put away and under the bed, but when guests are staying it works as a single bed. Or get a couple and stack them to create a cushiony floor or a raised bed.
We've also found a solution to finding a space for all the small knick-knacks around the room: a pegboard. It has space to store pens or jewelry, put reminders or calendars on – or they can just use it to display their favorite photos. Either way it'll stop them tacking stuff to the walls and it's a fun piece of storage.
Find loads more bedroom storage ideas that can also be used in a teen bedroom in our gallery.
10. Buy a platform bed to make space for storage
(Image credit: IKEA)
When it comes to finding them workspace and storage we've got it covered with a desk with shelving unit. We've all run out of room for all our books and papers and ended up carpeting the floor with them, but this on-desk shelf has three levels so there's plenty or room to store whatever you need. Another great tool for students is that classic clip on desk light which can be attached to a bedhead, desk leg or shelf – perfect space saver.
And the bed? One with plenty of storage beneath is a dream: saves on a space-sucking chest of drawers.
11. Protect your ears by soundproofing a teen's bedroom
(Image credit: Ikea)
If your teen's an aspiring musician, it won't hurt to take noise-dampening action. A thick cut-pile wall-to-wall carpet with decent underlay can be preferable to wooden or laminate floors. Acoustic panels keep noise out of the room and improve acoustics inside – great for budding podcasters. Upgrade to a solid door – Jeld-Wen's ProCore Quiet Door can cut sound emission by 50 percent compared to a hollow door.
12. Encourage tidiness (good luck with that)
(Image credit: IKEA)
Messiness is a universal teenage trait that is to be accepted with grace (for your sanity's sake). If you are blessed with a tidy teen, congratulations! But don't be too smug, they can turn at any time so look for teenage bedroom ideas that will keep the room as clutter-free as possible. Under-bed drawers are perfect for clearing the duvet when mates come a-knocking, while shelves might work better than rails in a wardrobe if they reject hangers. Get the biggest waste bin possible, and an air-tight container to keep trainer odor under wraps. And get used to the phrase 'floordrobe'.
When fitting loads of storage into a small room the golden rule is: think tall. That way, you don't take up all the floor space and be really efficient with storage space. However, tall storage can make a small room feel smaller too, which means you need a clever trick up your sleeve: and that's to visually break up the unit like in this room above. You can do with color, with open shelving and with mirrors. Simple.

14. Don't ditch the bunk beds – repurpose them
(Image credit: IKEA)
If a shared room suddenly becomes a space for one, use this budget-saving trick: turn bunkbeds into a high sleeper with sofa space beneath. Couldn't be easier!
Another tip we love that we've taken from this room? Hunt down storage that's decorative, too. This doll's house wall shelf (above the top bunk) makes storage fun, even for teenagers.
(Image credit: Ikea)
Avoid the potential fire hazard of extension leads and over-burdened adapters by getting extra sockets with USB ports installed before you decorate. Position them near the desk, not the bed. The health risks of 24-hour mobile phone exposure are still murky but it's better for their quality of sleep not to have devices pinging near them through the night. Furniture and lamps with built-in wireless charging are widely available (see the Ikea smart light with this function, above), reducing trails of cables.
11. Spend your budget on a teen bedroom wisely
(Image credit: Fiona Murray)
Like any room, the key to longevity is to go for timeless style on the expensive elements, like furniture, and use accessories and accents to inject the latest trends. Invest in a quality bed or headboard with a grown-up feel for your teen now, and for the guest space their room is likely to become when they leave home. Ditto wardrobes. Upcycle solidly made secondhand furniture with paint.

16. Choose a space-saving bed
(Image credit: Ikea)
High sleeper and loft beds are taller than bunks, and designed with older children in mind due to safety. A bed guard is recommended – even adults sometimes topple out of bed (usually alcohol is involved). Underneath, it'll have space for a desk, sofa and/or wardrobe.
Make sure there's sufficient head height for your teen to sit underneath without feeling claustrophobic. Changing the bedlinen will be challenging; flat sheets are easier than fitted. Find a ladder with decent depth flat rungs, instead of skinny rails that are painful on bare feet. Failing that, investigate beds with built-in storage and storage headboards – both great options for hiding and stashing clutter (and other stuff you probably wish you didn't know about).
How can you make a teen bedroom look good?
The best way to make a teen bedroom look good, is to first ensure you have plenty of storage. Clutter is pretty much guaranteed with teenagers, but having enough space to make sure most thing can be put away easily (baskets are great for throwing stuff in to free up floor space) will help the rest of the room feel bigger, brighter and, well just better.
When it comes to decor, use the ideas above to inspire you and try and get your teen involved with the process so their room reflects their tastes too. Pick out a color scheme together, decide on an overall style and choose artwork and prints that will bring in some personality.
What are the best color for a teen bedroom?
The best colors for a teen bedroom will come down to both of your tastes but if you are after something with longevity opt for a neutral color scheme – white, cream, grey. You can always add in pops of color with bedding and decor, as these will be easy to switch out as they grow and their tastes inevitably change.
How do you decorate a small teenage bedroom?
If your teenager's bedroom is slightly on the smaller side, stick to a white color scheme, as we all know that white expands a room like no other. Don't cram in too much furniture either, try and think about how pieces can double up as something else. Say a wardrobe that also has some roomy draws, a bed with PLENTY of under bed storage, even some floating shelves that can be used for both storage add decor will add to space without taking up too much room.
3-Bedroom vs. 4-Bedroom Home Value: What Is The Difference?
At what point does it make more sense to steal space from the fourth bedroom in your home to take advantage of that additional square footage? Or, perhaps you're considering squeezing in a fourth bedroom in an attempt to raise the value of your home.
To phrase things a but little differently, what is the difference in terms of home value for a three-bedroom vs. a four-bedroom with the same square footage? According to research collected by Laura Abramson from Keller Williams, it makes a marginal difference to convert a four-bedroom home into a three-bedroom home when the home is on the smaller end of the spectrum. However, there is a threshold in home size where a fourth bedroom can offer a premium.
Ultimately, the value of a 3-bedroom vs. a 4-bedroom home comes down to the square footage, as not all square footage is created equal. It largely depends on what you plan to do with the additional space. A buyer may see a lot of value in a larger master bedroom or a second-floor laundry room. Whereas, buyers may see little value in the fourth bedroom being converted into a custom closet if there was already adequate closet space to begin with.
With that said, let's take a deeper look at the differences in terms of value between a three-bedroom and four-bedroom home. We'll also explore how much value an additional bedroom can bring to a home in general.

Many property investors begin by adding a second, third, or possibly even fourth bedroom to the home that they are flipping. Of course, this move depends on the size of the property and the investor's budget. However, you might be wondering why they do this and is it a smart move to make?
Well, real estate experts claim that adding a new bedroom to a house could increase the overall value of the property by as much as 15%. This can make a major difference in the final asking price for a home. In fact, for every bedroom added onto a property, the homeowner or investor can see the property value increase by as much as $30,000 to $50,000.
While this may be what real estate experts estimate, the actual increase in value will depend on the specifics of your particular real estate market. So, there isn't really a one-size-fits-all answer. In fact, the only true way to know how much you will expect to get for an extra bedroom is to speak with a local experienced realtor. With that said, here are some considerations you should make before adding an extra bedroom to your house to increase value.
Consider the Location
Where your home is located is a major factor in deciding whether or not an additional bedroom is worth it. Knowing what the buyers in your area are looking for will help narrow down your decision. In many cases, adding a storage room or office is a better course of action and also requires less money and labor. This can free up space in the bedrooms, allowing the rest of the house to feel less crowded.
Loft Bedroom Conversion
Although many homeowners attempt to expand their homes by converting excess spaces into bedrooms, this often has a 50-50 chance of adding value. For instance, some people might love the idea of a finished basement bedroom, while others may not see any value in it at all. However, the attic or loft in your home is usually a great place to start when you want to add an extra bedroom.
Depending on the design of your house, converting a loft into a bedroom may be as easy as adding in a staircase or as complex as rebuilding walls. The most important factor in this type of conversion is to ensure that the height of the ceiling is appropriate for a livable space. Attic space is usually a very useful bedroom space, provided that you can stand and it is easily accessible via a permanent set of stairs.
The cost to convert a loft or attic space into a bedroom will depend on the location, scope of the project, and the real estate market, though it'll likely be somewhere between $12,000 and $50,000. When compared with the average cost of constructing an extra bedroom from scratch – starting at $57,000 – a loft bedroom conversion is a more cost-effective option.
Quick Tip:Keep in mind that a renovation project like this will likely require licenses, permits, and permissions from local building code and HOA. Never avoid this step because without meeting the right codes, the loft or attic space may not be allowed to be listed as a bedroom and all your hard work will be null and void.
Bumping Out
When a home addition is done by "bumping out," this means an attachment is added onto the side of the house which could allow additional space for another bedroom. In most cases, both the foundation and the roof can be extended in order to accommodate a bump-out. When these renovations are well-planned, they can look natural and add an extra bedroom that increases the value of your home.
Three-Bedroom vs. Four-Bedroom Home Value
Not all square footage is created equal. While you might expect that the more bedrooms you have, the higher the selling price of the home. However, this isn't always the case. The question of whether a three-bedroom home or a four-bedroom home has a higher property value comes down to the square footage and how it's used.
On paper, a four-bedroom home may sound more valuable, but the three-bedroom home could have a larger living room or possibly a bigger master suite – which is very desirable among potential buyers and makes it a contender for the four-bedroom. In order to provide a more accurate analysis, the following charts compare average sale prices of 3-bedroom vs. 4-bedroom homes, based on size, in Livingston County, Michigan.

Additional Considerations
Again, there really isn't a one-size-fits-all answer for whether an extra bedroom will contribute to a higher value. Here are some additional considerations to keep in mind before your next home improvement project:
More is typically better. More bedrooms are often better for value since a house with more bedrooms is more marketable to potential buyers.
Each additional bedroom diminishes the value. Generally speaking, the added value of additional bedrooms tends to diminish with each bedroom. In other words, the value difference between a one-bedroom and two-bedroom is more significant than the value difference between a three-bedroom and a four-bedroom home.
Home layout. It's not uncommon, especially when you examine the charts above, for a three-bedroom home to sell on par with a four-bedroom because of the layout of the house. Consider a 1400 square foot three-bedroom home and a four-bedroom home with the same square footage. While one home obviously has more bedrooms that make it sound more valuable on paper, the three-bedroom could have a bigger living room or feel roomier in general.
If you're thinking about adding an extra bedroom to your house or converting your fourth bedroom into something else, it's best to speak with an experienced realtor before you begin any work. For a home that is already small as it is, adding an extra bedroom could create tiny bedrooms that are undesirable from a potential buyer's standpoint.
It can be expensive to furnish a 3-bedroom house. Whereas, a small four-bedroom home could greatly benefit in terms of space from being demoted to a three-bedroom.

Other Home Improvement Options
Generally speaking, some home improvement projects are more valuable than others. If your goal is to add value to your home easily and quickly, you may want to consider making changes to other areas of your home before you start building new or knocking down walls. Some other home improvement options to consider include:
Kitchen Upgrades. Kitchen extensions and upgrades are ranked as one of the most popular home renovations among buyers. The kitchen is often seen as the heart of the home and it's usually the first space that homebuyers pay attention to. Another reason that kitchen upgrades are such a common renovation is that they can add a ton of value to the home. Experts suggest that investors and homeowners could recover between 50 and 80% of their renovation expenses in after repair value by upgrading a kitchen.
Bathrooms. Oftentimes, the number of bathrooms is a crucial selling point for a home. When done right, it's possible to an additional bathroom or two without having to alter the square footage of the property. In fact, a half bathroom can be squeezed into a space as small as 3 by 6 square feet. Experts claim that a half bath can increase the value of a home by over 10%, while a full bathroom can drive up the value by roughly 20%.
Deck Installations. It's important not to neglect how impactful the exterior of a property has on potential buyers. Curb appeal isn't just something that real estate agents talk about for fun, it carries some serious weight. With smaller properties that don't have a lot of wiggle room for changing layouts or making major interior changes, exterior renovations and projects like landscaping and deck installations can be very effective at increasing property value. In fact, deck installations could see the homeowner or investor recouping as much as 75% of the initial cost.
