There is something elegantly fascinating about a feather boa for many young girls. Throwing a feather boa over a shoulder can evoke the feeling of high sophistication or playfulness, so using feathers to decorate a teen girl’s bedroom can create a myriad of different looks and vibes. Feathers are available in many different colors and materials, including real and synthetic. For a teen girl who loves the whimsy of feathers, they offer great inspiration for an exciting bedroom design

Feathered Walls

When using feathers for inspiration, resist the urge to simply plaster feathers everywhere. Instead, use the feather as the essence of the design. For example, paint a feather stencil detail on the walls, creating the image of a floating feather without having the design appear too over the top. An even more fun option may be to find feather inspired wall decals, which are available at many online retailers. Some of the vinyl decals are even repositionable, so the feather design can be rearranged from time to time. To keep the design cohesive, select a color palette to use throughout the room.

Feathery Lamps

A feathered lampshade is a fun accent and project that you and your teen can do together. Starting with a plain lampshade, staple or stitch a boa around the lower edge of a plain shade. It may seem like using hot glue is an easy way to connect the feathers to perimeter of the lampshade, however the heat from the light bulb will most likely cause the glue to soften. So staples or stitching work best for this application, and the result is a fun flirty lampshade that costs much less than feathered lampshades you can buy in a store on online.

‘Featherize’

When using feathers to decorate a room, remember that they are meant to be used as accessories only; too many can easily overwhelm a room, taking it from tasteful to tacky. Pick and choose your accents carefully: Embellish curtains with a boa fringe, or cover a mirror frame with feathers. Arrange peacock feathers in a tall and slender floor vase, or add a feather covered throw pillow into a collection of soft pillows. Find bed linens with feather inspired prints, and of course include feather pillows on the bed for a heavenly slumber. Feathers make a room sassy and playful, so have fun putting the finishing, feather touches on the room.

While a parent would probably not choose feathers as inspiration for a teen girl’s bedroom design, most young girls are intrigued by feathers and their resulting designs. When executed properly, a feather inspired bedroom can be whimsical and almost magical, so be thoughtful about when and how feathers are included in the teen girl’s room. By just doing a little editing to keep the feather element from becoming overwhelming, a young girl can have a feather inspired room that is at once fun and fashionable.

To finish the new look, add suitable modern accents and hang bold contemporary metal wall decor.
