Teenagers may well wish to steer away from garish colours and select a more refined colour scheme for their room. There are plenty of modern funky blinds such as the Brighton Candy roman blind, which will give a lighthearted fun feel to the room decorations.

They are not the tidiest of individuals so plenty of storage is a good idea. A good solution is to have a cubicle curtain track, see the Silent Gliss Shower rail track, or pelmet track with a pair of light weight curtains, like the Integra Lockseam extendable track, which can be easily pulled over the offending pile of clothes and clutter. They also make a good method of sectioning off part of the bedroom for computer work and studying.

 For older children two metal Venetian blinds in a fun colour, such as the Treadplate, can be fitted to the ceiling creating as large an area as required, even sectioning off an area to be a work station/study area. These are obviously not suitable for young children as they will become tangled in the guide cords within 5 minutes.
