Committing to a color your teen has chosen puts most parents on edge. Whether they are looking for a millenial pink or metallic black, teens are very set in what they want. What if you could come up with a trendy and cool compromise? Impossible you say. Not true. Here are 15 teen bedroom paint ideas that are fun and cool.

Try some of these unique color combinations that your teen will love, and you can live with.

1. Jade Green & Fuchsia

By focusing on light walls with pops of jade and fuchsia in the decor and accessories, your teen will feel expressed and you won’t have to deal with painting a bright pink or green room over in a couple years when your kiddo is tired of it. This saves you both heartache. A neutral wall pairs perfectly with a bright green carpet and fiery pink bed linens.

2. Aqua & Gold

Aqua and gold creates a nice space for a kid in transition to adult. The aqua is childish and fun while the gold is adult and sophisticated. The aqua can be used specifically in one tone, or various. It gives a cheery, warm feeling to a budding adult room.

3. Navy & Mint

Oh the unexpected fun that navy and mint brings into a room. It’s a great combination, particularly for your tween. The candy colored mint is childlike and whimsical, but paired with the dark navy, there is a stateliness in it. It’s unexpected and lovely.

4. Grey & Red

Greys in various colors create a warm room that is easy to work with. For a potential industrial or steampunk room, this is a great palette to start off in. Using a vibrant pop of red, or subdued burgundy makes a bold statement. The room feels alive, without scarring your eyelids. Mix in metals and details of nature to create an unexpected vibe.

5. Brown & Orange

It’s more than just the colors of the Chiefs. Brown can be seen as very traditional and somber. How to get it past your too-cool teen? Pair it with bright orange. The citrus color will exude youth. Extra credit to parents that make the jump into patterns and prints with the colors. Play with shapes and sizes to create a really unexpected room.

6. Peach & Gold

Before bringing this idea to your tween, grab some paint samples to present with it. Mentioning peach is sure to cause world war 3 if you don’t present it with the grown and sophisticated gold tone too. You’ll know that peach brings soothing effects to teens, and it’s a viable not-quite-pink choice for a teen girl. The gold will glam up the color and create an adult space with shiny tones sure to please any girl.

7. Kelly Green & Grey

Kelly green and grey is a great modern choice for either gender. Mix it with medium tone wooden furniture to bring the Emerald Isle indoors for living. While green can go over the top, the grey tones it down when used as the main neutral for the room. The wood adds a nice natural aspect to counteract the cold of grey.

8. Pastels & Copper

Pick a pastel and match it with copper. While we’ve suggested gold a few times, mixing copper with a pastel pink or green creates a sweet space with a grown up attitude. Try painting the copper on a bed frame that will take your teen through college years. The pastels can begin from a young age but the copper will grow up the room with the child.

9. Navy & Neutrals

Navy screams sophisticated and grown. Mix it with neutrals to avoid the darkness that can encroach. If you are dealing with a particularly nautical boy, throw some red or gold in. If not, using a wood-toned furniture scheme will create a well rounded color scheme.

10. Pink & Turquoise

Once uncool, pink is now chic if paired with turquoise. Particularly interesting for an eclectic, funky girl, the space is bright but airy. Large patterns in neutrals break up the bright. The colors inspire creativity and will create a feeling of independence in your new young lady.

11. Grey & Yellow & Peony

Grey and yellow has been a winning color combination for the ages. Make it more hip with pops of peony. The grey is cool and grown, the yellow is bright and cheery and the peony is, well, unexpected. It’s a dream team of colors that’s sure to treat your teen.

12. Orange, Chartreuse, & Sky Blue

This color scheme is a bit like throwing all of the rejected colors into bag together. Orange, chartreuse and sky blue bring the boldest colors together in a bright palette. Use patterns of big blocks of the colors with a neutral background and you’ll have a unique look with a structured pattern.

13. Green & Black (& White)

Black and white will never be wrong. Use white with abandon and black sparingly. The colors work in any style or space, including teen bedrooms. Mix in a color, like green to add light and youthful feel. Light colored furniture feels young, while dark or even black is great for a budding graphic designer or edgy fashionista.

14. Wood & Gold

Natural is always in. Why not mix in raw woods and glimmering gold to create a new simple look. It’s a Scandinavian-inspired palette is of fresh and charming colors. Since it’s super simple, mixing and matching accessories gives a new feel to the room with an easy change.

15. Coral & Grey

Grey makes its last appearance on our list when paired with the color of the year last year. Coral is an awesome pair with grey. Cool and warm, bright and dim. Mix a large printed paper or wallpaper to break up the room.
