  Because many teenagers like to play video games, it's important to make sure they have a clear space for their television and video game equipment. Instead of wires being strewn everywhere, purchase a practical entertainment console where he can keep his television, video games, systems and pesky wires. This will eliminate the amount of wires and games crowding the floor.
  
  

Desk Space

• Make sure the room has a spacious desk.office desk image by Photosani from Fotolia.com
  
  Teenagers need a desk to do their homework, study and talk to friends on the computer. A good desk will provide enough room for the computer, a printer and space to do homework or art projects, for example. Place this desk against a far wall in the bedroom, opening up space in the middle of the room. Keep storage bins underneath the desk in an effort to improve space and utility.

  Choose a smart color palette that will grow with the teenager. Have the teen select colors that he believes he will like for years to come. Consider using an accent wall. According to the This Old House website, an accent wall is a wall that is painted in a different color from the others. This wall lends a maturity to the room and creates a balance in color. For example, you may want to paint the room using blue paint on three walls and a soft cream color on the fourth.
  
  

Photos
