Ensuring real comfort of living and leisure time when creating a simple design for a youth room is not difficult. The main requirements for the selected arrangement and design are their simplicity and harmony. There is no need to choose any pretentious or strict styles for the bedroom where the girl or guy will live. The simpler the room is decorated, the more compact each of the created zones is equipped, the more comfortable its owner will feel. Therefore, first of all, you need to choose a modern direction that involves the introduction of a monochromatic color scheme. Next, the optimal colors are selected that can emphasize the style and create a comfortable homely atmosphere. As for the furniture you choose, it should be multifunctional. But the decor and accessories for styling a youth room are selected individually: according to the hobbies and character of the owner.
Features of youth interior
Arranging a youth room for one or two people can be done without any particular difficulties. The most interesting features of the design and arrangement of such bedrooms include:
- The predominance of monochromatic design and available finishing materials. Simplicity of design promotes comfortable rest, learning and work. With proper styling, you can easily motivate the owner of the room to achieve new goals, develop self-confidence and your own strengths.
- Acceptability of choosing diverse styles. If most guys prefer a modern, urban or loft style, then girls can decorate their room in Provence, French style. In a youth room, ethnic design and the style of the 50s would be appropriate.
- Simple arrangement. The most necessary furniture combined with a small amount of decor (unlike teenage bedrooms) will create a comfortable atmosphere for its owner.
Floor
The harsh simplicity of the interior will be emphasized by a floor in natural tones. The most popular materials are:
- Laminate;
- self-leveling floor;
- polymer coating;
- light carpet.
The rules of fashionable style allow different floor coverings in each room.
Layout depending on room size
When arranging a youth room, its size plays an important role. In a spacious room, you can easily select work and rest areas for two people at once. But in a medium-sized and small-sized bedroom, two people will feel uncomfortable. That is why, when planning the styling and arrangement of a room for a boy or girl, one must first take into account their priority needs and allocate more space for rest and work, and distribute the remaining areas according to the remaining free space. If necessary, separate parts of the bedroom can be conditionally divided by a shelving unit or a wardrobe. But it is best to avoid such zoning: it can overload the interior and visually reduce the area of the room. The optimal solution for small rooms would be to use compact furniture modules or transformable furniture.
A large room
The layout of a spacious youth room may include a full-fledged living room where the owner can relax with his guests. In the far part of the room you should make a comfortable sleeping area. Here you can install a double bed and bedside tables. Place a mirror and a closet with things nearby. The central part of the room should be left free. Place a desk for work on the left (or right). On the opposite side, install a sofa and a couple of armchairs, a compact coffee table. Using this principle, you can arrange both a spacious room and a one-room studio apartment. If two students live in a large room, the far part should be made into a living room, and two work areas should be located next to it. Place single beds to the left and right of the center.
Average room size
A medium-sized youth room is suitable for one or two people. In the first case, in its far part you need to place a small wardrobe, next to it you need to install a bed (or sofa) and a bedside table. To the left or right of the center of the room you need to install a desk or computer desk to organize the work area. On the contrary, if space allows, a pair of armchairs and a compact coffee table are placed. When two people live in the back part, there are two single beds (on the left and on the right). Between them there is a spacious wardrobe. A pair of desks can be installed to the left and right of center.
You can also install one table with two workstations (conventionally divided in the middle by a cabinet and a cabinet with shelves). When using this model, the owners of the room will be able to install a sofa and chairs opposite the work area for relaxing with friends. When installing two separate tables, it is unlikely that it will be possible to organize a common seating area.
Small or small room
Choosing practical modular furniture will help you harmoniously furnish a small youth room. Thus, a cabinet, a desk and shelves for work and educational materials connected to each other will take up minimal space. This model should be placed along the long wall of the room. Along the opposite wall, in the farthest corner, you need to install a single bed. If possible, it should be conditionally separated by a shelving unit or a wooden partition. Following the sleeping area is a relaxation area. A couple of armchairs or a sofa would be appropriate here. It is very convenient if a computer desk with a large monitor is placed opposite the sofa. It can be used to watch movies together with friends. It is recommended to install a coffee table between a pair of armchairs. When installing a sofa, you can mark the cabinets to the left and right of it (or on both sides at once).
Minimalism
Preservation of visual free space combined with functionality dominates in minimalism and high-tech style. Hence the predominance of light colors interspersed with bright accents, laconic geometric shapes of furniture.

Zoning
It is logical to distribute the space of a girl’s bedroom into zones. The room must have:
- sleeping area;
- study space;
- girl's corner with mirror;
- a small living area with a sofa and poufs.
Division into zones involves the use of certain design techniques. They not only divide the space, but also transform it. Similar solutions are relevant for small, tunnel rooms.
In a private house, a girl’s room is often located on the attic floor, and it is necessary to take into account the design features of such rooms: use the advantages and neutralize certain disadvantages.
Design techniques for dividing into zones:
- color gradation of floors and walls;
- plasterboard partition;
- zoning with furniture elements;
- dividing space using decorative curtains;
- use of materials with different textures.

The study area is traditionally located closer to the window, a place with maximum daylight. This arrangement has a positive effect on vision. If the work surface for studying is located away from the window, it is necessary to provide good artificial lighting - LED or fluorescent lamps.
It is advisable to separate the area for sleeping and rest. Near it you can arrange shelves and install a bedside table. Young people like to work with a laptop or tablet in bed. Therefore, separate lighting above the bed is appropriate. It can be a lamp or sconce with several operating modes: night and day.
Please note: to arrange a sleeping place, it is better to use an orthopedic mattress for the bed, or a fairly hard sofa. Such furniture will maintain good posture and relieve stress on the spine.
It's hard to imagine the interior of a girl's room without a mirror. In a modern interpretation, it is not necessary to install a dressing table. A wall mirror with a simple frame is more appropriate. Near it, install several open hanging shelves and a low floor stand.

If in adulthood peace and stability are valued, then among young people the need for communication is in the foreground. In a fairly spacious area of the room, you can arrange a small living area. Equip it with a small sofa for receiving friends; instead of armchairs, it is better to use frameless soft poufs
Furniture
The design of a room for a girl in a minimalist style involves the use of non-bulky furniture. Light colors of furniture facades dominate. The interior uses contrasting details and accents. To make the wardrobe look lighter visually, install mirrored or glass doors on the facade. This solution will visually expand the boundaries of a small room. Another interesting technique is photo printing on compartment doors. To store things, you can use sectional furniture with pencil cases, segments with shelves, and cabinets. A good solution is to complete the elements of a furniture set with wheels. Young people tend to strive for change, and such furniture will allow you to easily rearrange the room.

Another technique that is often used in girls’ rooms is turning the window sill into a resting place. A similar solution is used when the window is large enough and the window sill is not high. It is expanded, a cabinet is installed under it, a soft place is placed on top, and several sofa cushions are placed. Girls like to spend time on an impromptu sofa, overlooking the panorama of the street.

The window sill is also turned into a work desk; for this, a wide tabletop of 45-50 cm is installed. Shelving is made on the sides of the window. This solution is suitable for small rooms and saves space.

In old layouts of Khrushchev-type apartments there are often small, long rooms. Such a space is quite difficult to plan. One of the design solutions is to install a podium near the window. There can be a sleeping place on it, and just below there will be a place for studying. This layout looks interesting and solves the problem of limited space. For the purpose of visual transformation, a long room is divided by different textures, colors of walls and flooring. On one of the walls it is appropriate to paste a photo wallpaper depicting a perspective.
Lighting
The design of a room for a girl in a modern style involves the use of combined lighting. From the point of view of energy savings and lighting quality, it is correct to use LEDs. Points are installed in each zone, the main lighting is the central chandelier.
The modern market presents a wide range of lighting elements. Original geometric chandeliers, 3D lamps, projector lamps can be used as night lighting, for example, with a star map. Such equipment will not only distribute light rationally, but will also make the interior unique.

Used as decoration:
- wall painting;
- photo wallpaper;
- black and white, color photos in frames;
- floor vases;
- volumetric applications;
- wallpaper with letters, inscriptions.

Textile
Textile design neutralizes some of the “restraint” of the minimalist style. Bright colored pillows on the sofa or bed will enliven the room in the spirit of minimalism. A bedside rug is selected to match them.
Curtains and roller shutters not only perform a practical function, but are also a decorative element. These include interesting prints, accessories, and tie-backs in the form of flowers or soft toys. Curtains with 3D printing will transform the room.
Colored bed linen with an expressive pattern will complement the textile composition.

Space zoning
To ensure that the planning is rational, it is recommended to make a detailed design before arranging the youth room. It is necessary to include the main zones in it, adding to the created plan the necessary furniture and instructions on the dimensions allowed for it. Zoning of the bedroom should be done highlighting the following parts:
- sleeping area: in a spacious room it can include a double bed; if the room is small, it is better to opt for a compact single bed;
- study and work area: the presence of a computer desk with extensions will allow students (and working students) to conveniently store educational materials;
- a relaxation area with friends: for the original organization of this part, you can install a sofa or bean bags; a TV can be located opposite;
- dressing area: a small wardrobe will allow you to compactly and conveniently store all things; it is also possible to install a floor hanger and a chest of drawers (on the chest of drawers you can install stands for storing jewelry).

Color solutions
For the original design of a youth bedroom, it is recommended to choose a suitable color scheme to match the style being created:
- loft: gray, light brown tones + black accents will create a harmonious and calm environment;
- urban: the main color is grey, yellow, lime, lilac, light blue or raspberry shades can be used as accents;
- modern: the main colors are beige, cream, sand, and additional colors are brick, gray, black, turquoise;
- Provence: a light main color is complemented by a turquoise, light pink or lilac color;
- French: white or cream main color is complemented by light crimson, sand, and slight splashes of black.
Beaded curtains
We can say with confidence that in the 70s there was a fashion for beaded curtains made of wood, and in the 90s – for plastic butterflies. You can still use such an interior element, but try to more or less get rid of it.

Surface finishing materials
Laminate is considered the optimal finishing material for flooring: it is affordable, easy to install and sold in a wide range of colors. Laminate flooring can be complemented with a beautiful carpet. To create a warm and cozy atmosphere, you can immediately install carpet. For walls, plain wallpaper with small patterns for painting is suitable. It is better not to use ordinary wallpaper with ornaments. The simplest and most correct option is to simply paint the walls. If desired, monochromatic coloring can be supplemented with thematic photo wallpapers (with images of the city at night, portraits of famous actresses, singers). Satin-look stretch fabrics are ideal for finishing the ceiling. Glossy models with a simple design will be inappropriate. An economical solution would be to simply whitewash or install a single-tier plasterboard ceiling.
Posters on the walls
You may have gotten rid of the posters of Leif Garrett, 'N Sync, or New Kids on the Block, but your feelings about them remain the same. They now prefer to attach posters in a more creative way, using, for example, adhesive tapes.

Lighting
Original lighting fixtures are an important interior element of a youth room. To properly arrange such bedrooms, you should choose a combined lighting scheme that includes the following models:
- ceiling (act as the main light): a chandelier in unusual geometric shapes, a pair of pendant models with hemispherical shades or a couple of rows of spotlights will provide high-quality lighting for the room in the evening and at night;
- desktop: a bright, height- and tilt-adjustable light on the table will ensure ease of learning and work;
- wall and floor: near the bed, sofa, it is recommended to hang spots on the walls or install designer floor lamps.
A practical modern option is a floating ceiling (soft lighting of the plasterboard ceiling around the perimeter). The most popular are models with colored purple and blue light, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Fairy lights
They were usually hung on windows, decorated with them on a canopy over a bed, or attached to walls. The garlands that are now used to decorate the interior of cafes look too sophisticated.

Selection and arrangement of furniture
Selecting multifunctional furniture will help eliminate clutter in the room and create a cozy atmosphere. Thus, a bed with a drawer or a lifting mechanism will provide convenient storage of things. When choosing a closet, you need to pay attention to the varied contents: micro-lifts for hanging shirts and dresses, shelves for casual clothes, drawers for linen. If you have a small amount of clothing, a modern solution would be to install a floor stand. There are practical models, complemented by drawers and shelves at the bottom for storing bags and accessories. A small folding sofa in the relaxation area will provide an opportunity for the owner’s guests to spend the night. But chairs (regular, frameless or folding) will take up less space and, if necessary, they can be easily rearranged.
When choosing a computer desk, it is recommended to pay attention to its design. Models with a cabinet and extensions will help you easily store work and educational materials, conveniently arrange decorative vases, figurines, or arrange living plants in an original way.
Decoration in a relaxed Scandinavian style
It is easy to recognize by its eco-friendly materials, free space, functionality, and the absence of unnecessary things. Surely reserved and serious girls will prefer such an interior. They will be quite comfortable among black and white images, an abundance of indoor plants, an ordinary chandelier without massive and sophisticated lampshades.
The basis of the color scheme will be gray and white, with peach, various shades of blue, burgundy or crimson as accents. A fireplace is appropriate in a country house, and heated floors and soft ottomans are appropriate in a city apartment.
Accessories and decor
The most popular options for decorating a youth room include:
- paintings: these can be thematic drawings, modern diamond embroideries or beautiful paintings embroidered with satin stitch;
- posters: retro-styled posters will look creative in any interior; posters with motivational inscriptions will also be appropriate;
- painted boards: square or round boards will look gorgeous in a loft and Provence;
- mirrors: wall accessories in simple forms are suitable for a boy’s room, stylized models with floor frames will perfectly complement a girl’s bedroom;
- thematic figurines and objects: a large plaster dog, a guitar hanging on the wall, will perfectly complement the overall design of the bedroom.
Stylish and original decor also includes living plants in bright pots, bucket pots or wooden pots.

What room design do young girls prefer?
Perhaps the most difficult question that could be raised is: “What do girls like?” Surprisingly, it is almost impossible to give a general answer, because every girl is unique, and in the age of modern technology, preferences can differ dramatically.
Shabby chic is one of the most romantic styles. Many girls choose it to emphasize their femininity.
Perhaps it is worth highlighting the main nuances that are most important for every young representative of the fair sex:
- Stylish. Everyone’s sense of style is different, so you won’t please a girl with an ordinary trend. Only what she personally considers stylish can give her aesthetic pleasure, so it’s worth taking personal preferences into account as much as possible.
- Originality. This is an important difference between women and men. It is unlikely that a girl will want the same room as her friend’s. She wants to be unique, so developing an interior design for a young lady should be done in close collaboration with herself. And even in this case, you will have to work hard to create something unique.
- Modernity. Most girls want to keep up with the times, so they will highly appreciate the presence of new technologies on their personal territory, even if their role is not so significant.
Modern style with a minimal amount of furniture is chosen by girls who live with the times
A classic bedroom for a girl is a calm atmosphere, comfort and a little solemnity
Scandinavian style with its simplicity is ideal for small spaces
As you can see, none of the above points are anything specific. Any furniture, decoration and decor should be selected in close cooperation with the girl. This is the only way to please her dreams and whims.
