Collection: Eco-friendly paint for teen bedrooms

Our color ideas for decorating your teenager's bedroom

Colors are often open to interpretation and individual tastes: this is a criterion to take into account when painting any room in your home, and even more so for a teenager's bedroom.

A shade can be interesting depending on the atmosphere you want to give to your room, and colors have an impact on your teenager's mood. So don't take this choice lightly: for example, colors like blue tend to bring serenity and calm. On the other hand, brighter and more pronounced colors like red or yellow, for example, are colors that will bring real dynamism and energy.

This dynamic can of course contrast with softer colors like beige, white and gray, whether in a total look or in combination.

Gray or white for a sober trend

White, beige and to some extent gray are shades that are recommended for all rooms in the house in general, and for good reason: they are very easy to combine and are completely neutral.
