The older children become, the more time they tend to spend in their rooms\u2026and the more important it is for them to personalise their space.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><b>So, what do teenagers want in their space?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The room makeover includes more mature d\u00e9cor and bedding and the change needs to happen probably from the age of 13. Here are a couple of popular elements to make your teenager\u2019s room a hit:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teenagers often want their bedrooms to incorporate a study area and a living space with seating for friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A gaming zone is also welcomed as is an en-suite bathroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Access to the outside is another plus.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The teenager space trend is becoming so important, that property agencies have seen a shift in the housing listing descriptions from standard bedrooms and a family bathroom to customised spaces for teenagers, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeff.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seeff Property Group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. And your teenagers will approve whole-heartedly and expect you to keep up with the trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-458236\" src=\"https:\/\/rekord.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2023\/05\/ElanaWagner-24-05-2023-Home-TeenagerRoom.2-1-520x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b>But what do you do if your house only has standard bedrooms?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first and most obvious option is to enlarge the room with a building extension. This will require a professionally drawn-up plan and local municipality approval. When doing this, you could, for example, add on a shower room and turn it into a suite.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another idea might be to convert an existing single or double garage into a teenage pad and build a new garage or carport in its place. Generally, a garage conversion will also require a building plan and local municipal approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are unable to enlarge the room or add on, you could consider reconfiguring the room. One interesting space-saving trend is to have a custom-built bed made which is raised (similar to the top bunk concept) and then create a study and chill area in the space below.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually we start with a baby room, migrate that to a toddler room and then later to a teenage pad.
