Teens love color, there’s no doubt about it. Don’t be scared of the vibrant hues they are drawn to. Work with their color choices. Add in a neutral color and a bright accent to create your 70/20/10 plan. They will still get bright, and you will feel more confident in the choices.

Orange, purple, blue, navy are all popular in teenagers minds. These colors can all be made more muted by combining with a beige, white or greige. The act of compromising will keep the peace within your home.

Paint Colors for Girl’s Bedroom

Teen girls tend to have a lot of opinions when it comes to their living quarters. They almost always lean in the purple family. The color has many shades and opportunities to look romantic, modern or hip. To go glamorous, add in black furniture. Romantic? White furniture and curtains.

Pink is almost always an option for a girl, no matter the age. Watch out for super-trendy millennial pink, a color that is most certain to go out of vogue. Rather, steer your teen toward a rich salmon. Add green, purple or yellow to it. Go for minimalist furniture or metallic geometric accents to keep the pink from feeling toddler.

Paint Colors For Boy’s Room

A boy will likely be looking for a vibrant orange, blue or green. Why not opt for a brown base with one of these colors accenting? A cobalt or jade looks great with warm brown. Burnt orange works well too. These color schemes are sure to last through graduation day.

Pastels

Some teenagers will be drawn to paler shades. Encourage color in the mix through fabrics in the rugs, bed, and accessories. Pastels can work if they are paired with grown up colors without looking little kid-ish. Bring in soft blues and greens or navy and grey to update the room.

Some teenagers will gravitate toward neutral or paler shades for their walls. You can still bring color into the mix with fabric, rugs and other accessories. A girl’s room in a soft blue or green can be pretty without looking “little girlish.” For a boy’s room, grey with navy is a good combination that looks good with unpainted or black furniture.

Accents & Wall Decals

Most teens are looking to add something beyond a new color to their wall. With the availability of no damage wall decals available, let them go ahead. The adhesives are made in oodles of shapes, sizes, phrases and more. Your teen can express their ideas without breaking the bank or the paint job.

Black Accent Wall

Undoubtedly, one of you parents will run into the teen that wants a black room and will not back down. Don’t fret. Consider painting one wall (that you cannot see from the doorway) with it. It can serve as an anchor for bright colors. Negotiate those colors into the room before you ever purchase the black paint.
