How to plan a teen bedroom

Rehearsal room, study, dorm and den – a teenager’s bedroom needs to be versatile, so create a space that can be all these and more.

Make room for relaxing

Ensure there are enough sockets for games consoles, computers and TVs

A qualified electrician will be able to add more to the circuit, so you don't have to use dangerous trailing extension leads. Don't forget surge protectors to guard valuable gear.

Choose the right TV unit

Pop the TV on a unit with castors, which can be wheeled out when it's needed, then tucked neatly away. Choose one with handy storage drawers for games, DVDs and even gym kit.

Keep bulky items out of the way

Mount utility hooks on walls to keep skateboards out of the way and turn them into a fun display.

Make sleepovers easy

Opt for a a fold-out foam chair bed that can be used for lounging during the day.
