Ah, teenagers. Haven't we all been there? Change in mood is as fast as changing horrible clothes. Shift in trends is faster than they can say "Hello!" How strange...but maybe not. Teenage phase is part of life. You've been there, done that, so I'm sure you know it's normal really, when your teenager's taste in decors takes a new turn almost every week. A teen's room is his property even if technically, he lives in YOUR property. He would do anything to make it look good. Because of the vacillating nature of teenagers, its best to use products that can be easily replaced or taken off like area rugs, paint, window blinds and duvet covers for decorating his room. Wall to wall carpeting won't work, given that he might decide anytime that he now wants a polished bare floor in his room.
Duvet covers can be purchased easily enough or you can even make them. It is best to use a duvet cover that is similar to a giant pillowcase for the comforter, than to keep changing the colors and styles of the bedclothes. This is true more of girls than boys. You can sew together a duvet made from two sheets and affix Velcro to fasten it together, slipping a white comforter in the cover and instantly changing the style of the room. This is easy and inexpensive to do. What is more important, it can be changed easily if the style suddenly becomes unpopular.

You and your teen can have a field day browsing through the various shades of window blinds and curtains. If you're quite a seamstress, you can also make your own curtains. All you need are a measuring tape and the fabric of your choice.

It's better to maximize the magic of paint. There are hundreds of available colors and your teen can even mix and match. He can go abstract and surpass Picasso if he wants to.
