Hello World! Welcome Friends! As tweens transition from being kids to full-blown teenagers, everything changes from their tastes to hobbies. Tweens begin to grow out of their bedroom decor and often begin exploring more extracurricular activities. Whether you’re already doing renovations or searching for ways to accommodate your evolving tween’s taste, here are some home upgrades for your inspiration.
1. Design a Media Room
A media room allows your tween to have their own space to watch shows that pique their interest. Watching television in the bedroom has myriad side effects for kids and tweens like decreased school performance and an increased risk of aggressive behavior.
Limiting media to a separate room like a media room can effectively curb media habits in the bedroom and provide your tween with privacy and the family with an excellent place to host a movie night. Consider adding flexible seating to accommodate guests and increase functionality.
2. Create a Game Room
Almost all tweens love gaming. Whether video games or a pool table, tweens should have a place to gather with their friends and let off some steam. You can convert an unused room or garage into a game room on a limited budget.
Game rooms provide a space for tweens and the entire family to unwind. They can save you money if you go out often and increase your home’s value if you ever decide to sell. Have your tween help you decorate the space to add a personal touch to the room. Game rooms can keep your tween busy so they avoid getting into mischief, as tweens are likely to do.
3. Add a Fire Pit
Adding a fire pit is an excellent way to upgrade your yard that your tween will love. A fire pit is a game-changer for family cookouts and can entice your tween to spend more time outdoors. Spending time outside can boost your tween’s creativity and increase their focus.
Gathering around a fire is an excellent way to bond as a family and for tweens to chill with their friends. You can build a fire pit with bricks, invest in a high-quality one or get a budget-friendly one online. Providing an outdoor space for loved ones to spend quality time together is always worth the investment.
4. Set Up a Craft Room
A craft room is an excellent place for your tween to flex their creative muscles and nurture their imagination. Crafting can increase self-confidence, improve mood and reduce stress. Tweens are no strangers to stress with peer pressure, homework and hormone changes. A craft room can provide a creative outlet for your tween to express their emotions.
A craft room is a great escape for them to express themselves through creative outlets. Ensure that you keep everything organized so your tween can experience organization’s benefits like improved sleep, increased productivity, and improved relationships. Organizing a craft room is easy with storage solutions that you can tailor to your tween’s medium of creative expression.
5. Upgrade Their Bedroom
Perhaps the most enticing home upgrade for your tween is redecorating their space. Their bedroom is their haven away from the world and likely where they spend most of their time. You can transform your tween’s room in many ways without breaking the bank.
Add Some Paint
A fresh coat of paint can transform a room and elevate the space. You can use paint to change the vibe of your tween’s room, match their personality, and alter the perception of the space. Light colors can enlarge a room, while darker colors can supply a more intimate and cozy feel to a large room. Versatile colors can ensure that the paint lasts, but if you want to go bold, paint is relatively easy to change.
Mix Patterns and Textures
Get your tween new bedding, wall decor and furniture they won’t grow out of. Let them choose every element from the designs to new lighting. Fairy lights can elevate a space and add a touch of personalization to the room without investing in pricey light fixtures. Mixing patterns and textures can help avoid themes that tweens might grow out of.
Make it Functional
Adding a desk will give your tween a space to do their homework and generate ideas. Adding a snack station can help fuel their minds while they work on school tasks and projects. Comfortable seating like bean bag chairs or hammock chairs provides comfort and style in your tween’s space. Flexible seating will entice tweens to invite friends over and make your home the hang-out spot, which can be such a relief for parents as tweens become teens.
Home Improvements for Tweens
Making renovations to meet your family’s needs is an excellent way to ensure the comfort and functionality of everyone in your home. Accommodating your tween during home upgrades can give you peace of mind and ensure your tween spends more time at home where you can keep an eye on them.
