Summer Refresh: Redecorating Tips for Teens & Young Adults Creating Their Dream Space

Summer break offers the perfect opportunity for teens and young adults to breathe new life into their personal spaces. Whether it’s prepping a room for the school year ahead, starting a new chapter like college, or just craving a style update, now is the time to make it happen.

The key to a successful refresh is to focus on pieces that are both expressive and functional. Start with a color story or inspiration image to guide your selections. Are you drawn to cozy cottagecore vibes? Modern minimalism? Eclectic vintage? Your room should feel like a true extension of your personality.

Simple swaps like vibrant throw pillows, mood-setting lighting, or a gallery wall of your favorite prints can completely shift the mood. Layer textures—like a soft throw on a sleek chair, or a woven rug under a metal bed frame—to add depth without overcrowding the space. We also love multi-functional furniture: think ottomans that open for storage, desks with built-in organization, or compact shelving to display books, candles, and keepsakes.

Explore pieces that reflect your growth and creativity—without requiring a full renovation. The best part? A refreshed space can fuel your motivation, improve your mood, and serve as your safe place all year long.
