In a small home, a teenage bedroom is more than just a place to sleep: it’s where you figure out who you are. In this example, we’ll help your kids do that, side by side. Whether they’re siblings or twins, the room needs to work for get-togethers, focus and everyday life. It’s where homework happens, hobbies grow and late-night talks take place. Go big with basic furniture, like our humble hero BOLLPOJKE it gives them the opportunity to style the room like they would style themselves.
A desk? More like a blank canvas
BOLLPOJKE is not just a desk for homework this piece of furniture is like mirror that will reflect your teenagers’ personalities. Whether they are crafting paper flowers, sketching their next artwork or building something together, BOLLPOJKE with its solid pine top, supports it all. Hang DYTÅG curtains to add some privacy or push two desks together. A small surface suddenly turns into a large workspace: perfect for teaming up on projects or playing video games. Hidden storage under the top keeps laptops, papers and everyday mess out of sight. Pair with BLECKBERGET swivel chairs, available in two different colours. The padded seat adjusts to growing bodies and stays comfortable through hours of focus or fun. No armrests means this chair is easy to tuck in, taking up less space in a room that needs every square meter.
Storage to keep it together
When one room does it all, storage isn’t a nice-to-have: it’s a must. Modular items like our IVAR cabinets, drawer units in different colors and SÅGMÄSTARE’s open shelves creates a shared teens room that feels organic yet personal. Flexible storage is the practical choice, too: store things that aren’t meant to show off away behind doors or in boxes. Other furniture is best rolled into a corner once the day turns into night. And don’t forget when two people share the same four walls, things get messy fast. Decide what goes where and don’t forget to use the space under the bed or higher up on the wall. A simple stool is all you need to reach what goes there. This way everything stays organised. Because a tidy space makes room for everything else.
It takes two
Teenagers need space for their things and for themselves. And when that space has to be shared, it can get a bit frustrating. Luckily, there are ways to make a shared bedroom feel more like you. We mentioned our DYTÅG curtains before, but they’re not just useful for doing homework. Close them when you want to hang out with friends, invite a date, or binge-watch a show without feeling like there’s always two of you. That said, sharing a room can also be really cosy. Add more warmth by letting your comfy RAMNEFJÄLL bed double as a lounge spot. Layer it up with lots of cushions and a throw. Go bold with colours and patterns, or keep it calm with a subtle ton-sur-ton look. The upholstered beige frame works beautifully with both. And remember: sometimes, having your own space isn’t about walls – it’s about boundaries. The kind we can easily help build.
