Room for 20-year-olds: how best to furnish it
Midway between adulthood and childhood, 20-year-olds clamour for a personal space that reflects them in their new phase of life. The room, for teenage boys, is not just a room to sleep in. It represents a refuge, a place of discovery, reflection, study, relaxation and fun. This is precisely why there comes a time when they feel the need to replace their bedroom with a room that meets their new needs.
When it comes to a boy’s room, the main difference with respect to a child’s bedroom lies in the organisation and division into areas dedicated to different activities. The furniture must reflect the boy’s style and be comfortable and functional because it will be the area of the house where he will take refuge and spend most of his time, between passions, study and relaxation. Finding the perfect solution is not easy, but with the right advice and inspiration you can furnish a boy’s room functionally and without too much effort. In this article we will look at what furniture is essential and you will find many valuable hints and tips to bring the ideal room for a 20-year-old boy to life.
What can't be missing in a 20-year-old's room?
Turning a children’s room into a teenage space can be quite a challenge. Regardless of style and personal taste, there are certain furniture elements that absolutely must be present in every children’s room:
- A comfortable and spacious bed
- An entertainment and relaxation corner, perhaps with a TV or speakers
- A functional desk for the study area
- A capacious wardrobe, to contain and organise the entire wardrobe
We have seen what cannot be lacking, let’s now move on to some practical advice on how best to furnish it.
Which bed to choose for a 20-year-old boy's room?
The bed is undoubtedly one of the main pieces of furniture in any bedroom.
In most cases, the queen-size is the most popular choice, due to its generous size and comfort.
Contrary to what you might think, the single bed can also fit into rooms with limited space. Simply opt for space-saving models, such as fitted and raised beds or storage beds that provide additional space for storing clothes and objects.
Five practical tips for furnishing a boy's room
If after choosing the bed you are not sure how to proceed, here are five tips that can guide you in choosing the rest of the furniture.
When moving from the nursery to the boy’s room, we always recommend opting for natural colours, avoiding colours that are too bright. In such cases, natural colours such as wood, dove grey, beige, cream are ideal, perhaps combined with slightly brighter individual colours such as blue or green.
Choose functional furniture such as a bed with storage or with drawers to keep the room tidy at all times. Every corner is useful for storing objects and accessories.
The furniture should reflect passions: reading, relaxation, video games, music, fashion. There are solutions for every need, such as TV stand furniture or multimedia bedside tables with wireless charging and integrated speakers.
Involve the boy in every choice and have fun designing it together to create the perfect space for him that reflects his personality and tastes.
