3 Creative Top Floor Rooms with Wood Accents

Sometimes living in a smaller space is the best choice for people with a creative spirit. It challenges the mind to simplify and to do more with less, both of which can be important skills for artists to have. The three rooms featured in this post are highly creative, perfectly suited to young artists. Though the furnishings are generally simple, the architectural elements are challenging - from steeply pitched roofs to modern takes on murphy beds, these creative designs are each gorgeous and inspirational in their own exciting way.

1 | Visualizer: Greta Gre

The first room comes from visualized Greta Gre and features what is perhaps the most creative layout. A small living area on the first floor of the space is decorated with sleek, simple lines that include a geometric area rug and the modern answer to a college futon. But perched up above this space is a lofted area when the bed is situated. The bed lives in a white wire cage that extends out over the living room and is attached to the slanted wood ceiling. Spending a night in this cozy bed may not be for the faint of heart, but it’s certainly for the stylistically inclined.

The second room from the architects and designers at the he.D creative group. While the slanted ceiling mimics that of the first space, that is where the similarities seem to end. Rather that use sleek lines, the space embraces patterns and what feels like a lumberjack spirit. From the plaid ottoman to the soft woven rug and the unfinished wooden ceiling beams, this is a top level space that could easily stand the test of time and the discerning eye of someone who hates fuss. The bed in this space folds neatly into the wall, for a Murphy bed effect that though reminiscent of a 1940s apartment space, has its own modern air.

The final room comes from the designers at Takk Interior Design. It also features a great deal of exposed wood but is decidedly more sleek and even Scandinavian in its style. Like the first space, a lofted bed area is perched somewhat precariously above a main living space, nestled just underneath the pitched ceiling. Creative patterns from the striped created by the ceiling beams to the laser cut patterns on the natural wood foot stools never quite exactly match up, creating an almost reckless, but very purposeful style.

Creative Bedrooms that Any Teenager Will Love

Creating a space for a teenager to go to sleep, study, and hang out can be a tall order. All teens are different -- some never want to leave their rooms while others would rather be anywhere but home. These rooms, designed for sophisticated teenagers as well as their parents, create beautiful atmospheres that teens will be proud to show off, be comfortable in, and maybe actually appreciate.

1 | Designer: HQteam

This first room, a totally cool room for a teen boy, comes from the designers at HQteam.

2 | Designer: HQteam

The creative slats on one wall work as a module storage system.

3 | Designer: HQteam

Simple but creative wall art brings a real hipness to an otherwise plain white wall.

4 | Designer: HQteam

Of course, any good teen room also has space for studying and this desk with a colorful chair is the perfect one.

5 | Designer: HQteam

Frosted glass bookshelves turn an otherwise ordinary storage option into something a bit more abstract.

6 | Designer: HQteam

Even this lime green desk lamp is a carefully chosen accessory that adds modern flair.

7 | Designer: HQteam

Shelves can easily be slid, moved, and removed to accommodate different objects.

8 | Designer: HQteam

They even have a place for the most essential accessory for a suburban teen: a bike.

9 | Designer: Olga Podgornaja

This next room is a basement bedroom from designer Olga Podgornaja.

10 | Designer: Olga Podgornaja

The room offers plenty of seating without feeling too cluttered.

11 | Designer: Olga Podgornaja

The occupant’s love of football is certainly apparent, but not overwhelming.

12 | Designer: Olga Podgornaja

Even the mossy green couch seems to be a nod to the pitch.

13 | Designer: Olga Podgornaja

The bed is low to the ground and separated from the rest of the room with a creative divider element.

14 | Visualizer: Dima Dolgykh

The third room comes from visualizer Dima Dolgykh and has a more subtle football theme, in particular a love for Real Madrid.

15 | Visualizer: Dima Dolgykh

From this angle, the football theme is even more subtle, instead the eye is drawn to the teal details.

16 | Designer: FH Studio

This room, from the designers at FH Studio is simple, but still has a playful teen sensibility.

17 | Designer: FH Studio

The blue and yellow theme is a classic combination but done in a modern style.

18 | Designer: FH Studio

The yellow shelving in particular creates a fun visual thruline.

19 | Designer: FH Studio

White cabinets are an easy enough way to hide any messiness. Not that a teenager has ever been messy before.

20 | Designer: Gluzdakova Maria

With this room, from designer Gluzdakova Maria, we get a taste of a more specifically feminine teen room.

21 | Designer: Gluzdakova Maria

Though it’s a little dark, there are plenty of places for a girl to relax, study, or visit with friends. (No boys allowed, obviously).

22 | Designer: Gluzdakova Maria

The orange hammock in the window is a really fun retreat.

23 | Designer: Gluzdakova Maria

Mixing textures from the corkboard wall to the woven rug and upholstered purple sofa makes the space really feel like home.

24 | Designer: Gluzdakova Maria

A private vanity and dressing area is an absolute must for any teen girl.

25 | Designer: Tania Ahmed

This final teen room from designer Tania Ahmed would be perfect for a sophisticated teen girl.

26 | Designer: Tania Ahmed

The long yellow sofa could easily double as a twin bed.

27 | Designer: Tania Ahmed

The overhead light fixture is completely creative and not the least bit childish.

28 | Designer: Tania Ahmed

And the accent wall is a testament to creativity – something teenagers have in spades.

29 | Designer: Tania Ahmed

A little personalization goes a long way in creating a safe space for teens where they’ll actually want to be.

Rooms for Young Creative People

A lot of young people hate the spic and span look of those impossibly tidy rooms that furniture companies tend to show off on their catalogs. They like to see rooms that appear a bit more ‘normal’ and ‘inhabited’ with that extra personal touch. We hope this post would help those in the look out for such rooms. If you are young, artistic and want your rooms to show off your creative flair, try these for size…

Funky Rooms That Creative Teens Would Love

A teenager's room should be more than a place they can retreat when they don't want to talk to their parents. It should be a reflection of their personality and a space where they can feel comfortable, safe, and inspired. The rooms in this post are particularly creative in their use of color and other design elements, ultimately creating vibrant spaces where even the most finicky and fickle teenagers would love to hole up. While not all the spaces are bedrooms, they would all be ideal rooms for teens to call their own.

1 | Visualizer: Pavel Vetrov

The first room from visualizer Pavel Vetrov uses contrasting colors to bring an exciting energy to the bedroom. The black and yellow contrast is immediately eye popping and mood elevating. The study area and sofa make this an ideal office for a creative teen, giving plenty of space to relax but also space to focus.

7 | Visualizer: Svitlana Petelko

The second space, from visualizer Svitlana Petelko is a more typical bedroom, with a soft sided bed taking up much of the area. The study space in this room is particularly notable. Not only does the desk provide ample room for a computer as well as any handwritten assignments, the amazing ferris wheel wall decal gives it a special pop of youthful – but stylish – innocence.

11 | Visualizer: Alex Katyushin

This bedroom strives to bring the creative flow to the surface. What it might lack in square footage it makes up for in color and kinetics. Not only is there the requisite study space, but there is a gymnastics area, a chalkboard wall, and plenty of art. The room encourages all aspects of intelligence.

This next bedroom is an ideal space for teens who are forced to share a room – or who tend to have their fair share of sleepovers. The two beds make it comfortable for anyone to spend the night while a small and sleek desk area is ideal for studying. The custom shelving that surrounds the TV is a chance for the occupant to really express herself with books, music, and personal effects.

In another instance of yellow bringing a cheerful bent to any room, we see this youthful space. Perhaps a bit young for a teenager, it might be a great space for an older kid, becoming a teen, not yet sure of his personal style.

The final room feels a bit darker and ultimately very sophisticated. From an Eames-inspired desk chair to a massive canopy bed, it is almost too comfortable and cozy in here, making it all too easy to while away the late mornings and every weekend.
