Designing the perfect modern teen bedroom: a transformation sotry

Introduction:
Creating a perfect space for a modern teen bedroom can be a challenging task, especially when you're unsure about your preferences, needs, and where to start. At Lux Designs by Jess, we understand these challenges and are here to guide you through the process. In this blog post, we'll take you through a remarkable transformation of a residential teen bedroom, showcasing how we turned a vision into reality.

The Initial Plan:
Initially, the project had a different direction in mind. We envisioned a "forest" or "safari" style decor with shades of blue. However, as we delved deeper into the project, we realized that a different approach was needed. Our goal was to create a space that would grow with our client's daughter, who was 10 years old at the time.

Identifying the Room's Challenges:
The original room had two beds and lacked proper storage solutions, aside from the built-in bookshelf. Clutter was a common sight, hindering the room's potential. However, this presented an opportunity for us to assess the room's storage needs, furniture layout, and maximize its functionality without overwhelming the space.

Furniture Placement and Refurbishment:
We began by brainstorming furniture placement ideas. Given the room's size and unique shape (as it was a converted bungalow), it was crucial to strike the right balance and avoid overcrowding. We discussed which furniture pieces would stay, what needed to be replaced, and what could potentially be refurbished. 

Creating a Reading Nook:
Inspired by the 10-year-old's love for reading and her impressive collection of books, we decided to incorporate a cozy reading nook with a bean bag. To achieve this, we had to remove a part of the wall that concealed a sloped cupboard, which was originally used as a wardrobe and storage. This simple modification opened up the space, allowing us to make it more functional and inviting.

Optimizing Storage and Bed Selection:
To address the storage issue, we opted for a double bed instead of two separate single beds. Additionally, we designed a bespoke wardrobe with railings, shelves, and drawers to accommodate all the clothes and extras like Halloween costumes or sports gear. To add a touch of elegance, we installed automatic doors, eliminating the need for knobs or handles, and finished it with a sleek green-gloss look.

The Perfect Workstation:
Recognizing the importance of a dedicated study area, we included an Ikea desk that offered ample storage and a comfortable workstation for completing school tasks. With a minimalist and modern design, the room became easier to keep clean, satisfying both the 10-year-old and her parents.

Conclusion:
The transformation of this modern teen bedroom showcases the power of thoughtful design and strategic decision-making. By addressing storage needs, optimizing furniture placement, and incorporating personalized elements like a reading nook and a functional workstation, we were able to create a space that not only reflects the client's vision but also grows with their daughter. At Lux Designs by Jess, we believe in creating spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, ensuring a harmonious environment for every individual.

"We felt like we struck gold when we found Jess!! She has transformed our rooms, she created 2 different themes for our daughters rooms both totally different and completely suited their personality, she looked at how we use the space, reuse of items that we already had and recommendations of great products all in our price range. Jess is so dedicated, professional and has a real talent for design whilst really thinking about the use of a space, we cannot recommend her highly enough and cannot wait to get her back to do more rooms!!!"
