Have you ever noticed how pathetically floral and pastel teenage girls’ bedrooms are? What I would have liked as a teen (and what I still like in a bedroom) was a cave-like atmosphere, with plenty of room for books, and a hankering for exploration and dreaming.
But if I were to go with the truly grandiose, I would have liked to have a room in a tower, a whole floor to myself. Below is just a small part of the ideal…

Lovely! Don’t know about my teens but I could rather go for number four now!
I once house-sat for someone who had a study very similar to that, which was also a guestroom, and I barely left it for several weeks.
I would have loved any of these as a teenager!
Funnily enough, I didn’t have any bookshelves in my room, because there wasn’t enough space, just book piles.
Like Kaggsy, I like number four – very cosy. 🙂
I’m joining the queue for number four although the teenage me would probably have wanted something more funky!
Obviously I must have been an unfunky teenager, as I always liked the vintage look…
This made me laugh because as lovely as all those rooms are, all I wanted to do when I was a teen was paint my room black (I wasn’t allowed), light candles and listen to Nick Cave/Garbage/Nirvana.
I would wear a lot of black and blue as a teen, but I wasn’t allowed to paint my room even in blue (apparently, it makes the room feel colder). So it was pink! An insult to everything I stood for.
Mine was lilac – ack!
Condolences…
I love pic 3 and pic 4. My bedroom as a teen was pretty boring. My mom wouldn’t let me put posters on my walls because we had wallpaper (it was an ooold house), or have other fun teen stuff in there. I would have loved a huge world map on one wall and books lining another wall. That would have been very cool.
Oh, these are lovely, Marina Sofia!! I would have adored that ‘hidden storage’ bedroom especially.
The last one seems to, er, lack a bed.
Me, I’d go for #5, although how the drawer manages to be about 50% deeper than the bed is wide is anybody’s guess.
I’m sure there’s a bed if you take the picture from the other end of the room. Anyway, who needs a bed when you’ve got so much reading material!
number 5 here too.
I’d take the World Map room, provided that there are books in all of the drawers. 🙂
I think I’d put bookshelves all over the last wall, just to make sure…
I like the comfort of number four, but it’s too busy for me. I’d have to change the wall paper and get rid of the pictures.
I love this post Marina Sofia. Thank you for sharing such lovely pictures. I like the yellow, sunny one. It is colourful, and bright. 🙂
I love your choices! And I too am passionately opposed to pink fluffy girls’ bedrooms. My teen bedroom was shades of yellow and orange – a bit garish maybe, but at least not pink.
