A Teen Bedroom That Grows With Style: The Power of Classic Window Treatments

By Esther Ellard

It can be hard to balance design in a teen bedroom so when I designed this space for a growing teenager, I wanted to make sure I was getting every detail right. The main design challenge for this bedroom was creating a space with functional zones for a teen while maintaining a clean and elevated aesthetic. When selecting window treatments for the design for this space, something kept drawing me to the Two Pages Cloe Pleated curtains but it wasn’t until the end of the design phase that I was able to select the perfect color.

Design Vision for the Teen Bedroom

The design vision for this bedroom was to keep the room sophisticated but also make it feel youthful, allowing for growth and versatility over time. For a fun, modern edge, the teen wanted LED strips included somewhere in the design. Not only did I design for the bed wall to be highlighted in elevated LED strips but I also included LED makeup lights to be added to a basic round mirror to the getting ready area. This gave the whole room a fun and modern edge. White was the color requested so I had some fun keeping a white on white backdrop visually interesting with differing textures and fun patterns like pinstripes, cheetah print, and off white boucle. The channeled headboard was one of my favorite pieces from the sourcing phase as it not only had this must have texture but also had walnut detailing on the edges and leg profiles. If you also look close enough, you can notice the leather wrapped handles on the dresser nightstand that was an ode to the other leather accents included through the design of the rest of this custom built home.

Selecting the Perfect Window Treatments

Now on to the perfect window treatments. The TWOPAGES Cloe Cotton Drapes are timeless and versatile. The beige color sourced offers warmth without being stark white, blending seamlessly with the neutral color palette. The pleated design adds a refined, structured look while maintaining an airy feel. As far as the fabric goes, the cotton blend is soft, lightweight and gives a hint of luxury to this teen bedroom design. Overall the TWOPAGES Cloe Cotton Drapes balanced practicality and style making them perfect for a space that will evolve just as this teen grows.

How the Window Treatments Complement the Room’s Design

In comparison with the other elements in the space, the window treatments enhanced the getting ready area by adding a polished look. They paired beautifully with the oversized performance fabric swivel chair, reinforcing the cozy vibe. These window treatments also worked seamlessly with the wall mounted clothing rack which was a black metal contrast on the opposite wall. The window treatments were intentional and refined which gave the design a well balanced mix of modern sophistication and youthful charm. This was exactly what was needed for this growing teen.

Window Treatments Complement the Bedroom

Let’s keep in mind that designing a neutral space does not mean that it has to be bland and boring. Layering soft textures and warm tones creates depth and visual interest to all spaces. Choosing classic window treatments like TWOPAGES can elevate a space while keeping it versatile. The vision behind this Teen Bedroom Design was to source high quality and versatile pieces that will eventually grow with her. From wall paint to window treatments, I designed a beautifully balanced teen room that continues to elevate this teen’s daily life.

ABOUT WRITER

Great shades!

We love our Twopages Cinnamon Natural Jute Bamboo Woven Shade. The true color is a bit darker than photos depicted online but I got the sample booklet and anticipated that. I do really like it.

Amazing Workmanship and Embroidered Trim!

Two Pages has upped their game. My drapes came in a lovely branded zipper bags with a lovely message inside. Delivery was so quick! I have over a dozen curtains in my home from Two Pages. I recently upgraded my Isabella Paper White curtains in my living room to Isabella Paper White with R31 Trim. Oh my goodness- GORGEOUS!!! Firstly, my original Paper White drapes had a blue tinge to them, a very stark white. Which was fine, but I don’t know if they changed the sourcing, but the Paper White colour is now a lovely True clean white that is more soft, I LOVE the white. The R31 trim sample that I ordered in advance, also matched the trim tape on the curtains. Customer service was good to confirm with my enquiry that the sample did indeed match, as the website colour depicted was a bit different. It is a stunning sky blue (not aqua like the website picture). Moreover the workmanship and specifically how the tape was sewn onto the drape, was straight and aligned nicely with the thread. I was nervous when I ordered, because I saw a review where you could see that the sewing had gone outside of the lines and looked sub par; but I can assure you, the trim tape is sewn on beautifully. I plan to order Jawara Pink with Q21 or K61 next; which will make it 20 pairs of drapes from Two Pages that I own, LOL. The trim tape itself is such good quality, wide and stunningly embroidered. They rival designer named ones. I WISH I could order the trim tape itself so that I can add it to a throw pillow and at the bottom of my slip covered dining chairs, to coordinate the rooms. My style is Modern French Country I would say. Thank you Two Pages for my exquisite drapes

Excellent curtains

I ordered the custom Liz linen curtains for my living room and dining room. Got the lightest liner as recommended by customer service because I was worried about fading of the curtain. Color is burlywood birch. They are beautiful curtains. The hook thats included makes them adjustable in height so you can make them longer or shorter as needed. Will definitely order again.
