#Tips For Teen Bedroom Design

Décor Ideas for Teenage Bedroom | VMS Plus

The main goal of 2024’s teen bedroom ideas is to design a unique, practical area that embraces contemporary style and originality. Make a statement by including striking hues and patterns, such as abstract art or geometric motifs. Space is maximised by multipurpose furniture, such as loft beds with desks or storage underneath. To create attractive lounging places, include warm features like beanbag chairs or plush rugs. Convenience and the atmosphere are improved by intelligent technology, which provides Bluetooth speakers and LED lighting. Since personalization is important, encourage teenagers to display their interests on walls, posters, or in a special hobby zone. An active and vibrant room is the product.

When you envision your home or move into a new apartment, you need everything perfect, right? The main bedroom is dedicated to the grownups in the household, and it takes little time to hone in on the belongings you want in your haven and compactly put them. However, putting your teen bedroom ideas into reality is a different ballgame. One of the most tedious jobs of all bedrooms is to design your teen’s bedroom and gain approval from your teen. They can be quite tricky, as teens have their own opinions and choices, and you’ll have to take their opinion before starting with the designing of their room.

Beautiful Teenage Bedroom Designs for 2024

Teens' room design may be a fun project that captures their individuality and sense of style. Teen bedroom ideas for 2024 centre on designing a room that is enjoyable and useful simultaneously, providing a haven for rest, learning, and self-expression.

Innovative Teenage Bedroom Décor Ideas

If you’re looking for teenagers' bedroom ideas, consider using vibrant colours and textures that speak of your teen’s passions. Adding personality without committing to a long-term look is possible with wall decals, removable wallpaper, and murals. Motivate your adolescent to help decor ideas for teenage bedrooms, by giving them suggestions like making a gallery wall or including a chalkboard paint section to showcase their ingenuity.

Teenage Themed Bedroom Ideas

Designing a bedroom is more accessible by deciding on a theme. Bohemian chic, industrial style and minimalism are popular bedroom idea themes these days. Accessorising these teen bedroom ideas with complementary carpet, drapes, and bedding will make them look even better. Select a colour scheme that unifies the theme and leaves space for customization for a unified appearance.

Some design advice for teen bedrooms

Here are some Tips For Teen Bedroom Design: Give preference to multipurpose furniture, such as desks that can be used as vanities or beds with built-in storage. Lighting is a critical factor in establishing the mood, so think about using string or LED lights that can be adjusted to create an ambience. Urge your adolescent to decorate their room with things that represent their interests.

Harmonious Bedroom Decorating Ideas for Teens and Parents

For practicality and longevity, weighing the teen’s tastes against the parent's bedroom decorating ideas is crucial. Invest in long-lasting furnishings that will fit your growing adolescent’s changing tastes. Use wall-mounted shelves or under-bed drawers as storage options to keep the space neat and clutter-free.

The Butterfly Effect

Chpr 10

⚠️ Trigger Warning for angst

This could have probably been an earlier chapter, but hey, better late than never! Alan and Gordon arrive home post-TB4-mission.

❤️💛 🚀

Alan let the warmth of the shower seep into his bones. He was sure his squid brother was secretly cold-blooded. Stepping into a shower after Gordon, was akin to performing the ice bucket challenge - the water barely more tepid than the sea itself. Alan, was the polar opposite - disassociating in the molten mist until he'd generated his very own steam room.

The teen grabbed a towel and headed for the lockers.

"Gordon, what the hell?"

He slammed the locker door shut.

Asshole had taken his spare clothes.

He searched through the other lockers. John's was empty, Virgil's; locked. He opened Scott's and pulled out a finely pressed shirt and jeans. 

Gordon had better hope that Four had no further call outs today or he'd drown the fish himself.

The designer jeans were far too long in the leg. He had to fold the ends up twice to avoid tripping on the excess material as he waddled. The shirt was equally ridiculous. He looked like a child trying on their father's work clothes. It wasn't too far from the truth. But he was nineteen, not nine. And he loathed anything that could be used as ammunition by his brothers to remind him that yes... he was the baby of the family - he got it, alright?

He hooked his thumbs into the belt loops of Scott's jeans, desperate to protect himself from further embarrassment and shuffled his way back to his room. Brothers sucked ass.

*.  *.  *.

The astronaut's mood subsided a little on seeing that Grandma had been and spruced his room in his absence. His favourite green guitar top had been washed, ironed and laid out on the end of his bed.

Scooping up the casual wear; he buried his face into the soft fabric and inhaled its floral scent. Grandma was one of the few members who actually bothered to remember to add the softener to washes. He was so used to the Birds, bedrooms and gym smelling like...well, a gym; that it was a secret pleasure to enjoy the floral scent of cleanliness. Alan decided that it was the little things in life that brought the greatest pleasure.

He headed to his closet to grab his go-to shorts; pulling the tee over his head as he walked.

"FUCK!"

The floor beneath him shifted. 

His room, the villa, maybe even the island shaking with a ferocity usually reserved to a Two Bird callout.

Alan was flung to the floor. He groaned. Where was his super-plush rug to cushion his fall-

His world suddenly tipped.

Blindly reaching out; somewhat encumbered in his half-dressed state, Alan managed to grasp the doorframe to his closet. 

"GUYS! HELP!"

It sounded like a volcanic eruption...

His room roared like fracturing rock.

Steel screamed and splintered above him.

"Agh!" The sound was deafening, but he didn't dare let go.

Alan's thoughts were racing faster than Fireflash.

John. John would not have missed an impending  eruption?

...Other than that one time with Professor Quentin Questa at Hrómundartinhurmindur. 

No, this was nothing like a volcano. So what then?

His mind flitted through other possibilities. .

Earthquake? Landslide?

His room stopped shaking with one last feeble quiver.

Alan dared to pull his head through his top with a singular hand - the other still firmly glued to the doorframe.

The teen blinked; not trusting his eyes with the reality they presented him with. 

One of his bedroom walls...

His floor length windows...

They were just... gone.

A wall of silver filled the space.

𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 (part one)

pairing: teen!noel gallagher x fem!oc

summary: noel's going nowhere, and fern's going everywhere

word count: 2.2k

warnings: mentions of drugs, smoking, swearing (possible ooc noel but i wanted to write a soft lil' teen fic 😩)

PART TWO IS HERE

it had hardly been in fern's nature to do anything other than keep her nose close to the grindstone in the run up to her a-level exams, so when noel knocked on her bedroom door one evening proudly announcing that he was done with his qualifications at the tech college it was fair to say she'd fallen silent.

the crackling of her record player and the subsequent crooning of john lennon was all that could be heard in the room, fern eventually breaking and laughing at noel as he pushed open the door further to cross the threshold of her room. "what ya laughin' for?" he questioned, taking a ball-point pen out of a pot kept on the desk and balancing it on the tip of his finger whilst he waited for an answer.

"because i assume you're joking." fern retorted, glancing at him from over her shoulder before returning to scribbling away at her flashcards. when there came no responce, and noel had fallen uncharacteristically silent, her hopes plummeted. "oh, noel, you haven't."

his sheepish smile gave him away instantly.

instantly, she had snatched the pen away. "what were you thinking?" noel had moved away from hovering near her desk and instead used two fingers to peer out of the curtains. the window in fern's room backed onto the large garden, and if you tilted your head at just the right angle the city-scape of greater manchester hoved into view. from the large suburban houses and roads worlds away from burnage, noel saw that between the pair of them only fern had a permanent ticket out.

after thinking, all he could muster up was "dunno."

"you've only been there for two weeks. you're lucky they let you onto the course - you applied three months late and you got expelled from school before you could take your exams."

"don't make me feel worse, fern." he groaned, falling backwards onto the ottoman at the foot of the bed. reluctantly, fern tore herself away from her revision and tucked it all away again so she could sit next to him. "i bet your mum went ballistic."

"yeah."

even the way she spoke was different - not once would she shorten a word for the sake of a mancunian dialect, something she tried and succeeded at after winning a scholarship for one of the grammar schools in order to 'fit in'. privately educated girls and secondary-school dropouts weren't meant to fit together on paper, yet fern and noel did. they met accidentally, whilst she was working part-time in a record shop and they'd gotten to talking.

"still, r'kid thought it was hilarious. nearly pissed 'imself laughin' i think."

they sat in silence for a few moments, until the call of fern's mum broached the peace of the room. "fernie, tea's on the table." she waited patiently at the foot of the stairs until the pair of teenagers descended the stairs into the hallway. "staying for tea, noel?" she questioned.

fern and noel acted in routine, him pulling out the plates and her extracting the cutlery from the draw before trooping into the dining room. "hiya, audrey. if tha's not a bother." it wasn't, he just asked out of courtesy because that's what his mum had taught him. more often than not, noel would stay for tea or if they'd eaten audrey was more than happy to put something into the oven for him.

they sat around the dinner table, fern's dad at the head eventually putting his newspaper away to ask her about her day. then he moved onto noel as if it was second nature to do so - the boy even had his own designated seat at the table. "alrigh', mr gibson. n'owt interesting me at the moment, so i-"

fern kicked him under the table, catching his eye in warning. mr gibson looked at him expectantly, patiently waiting for a continuation of the answer. "-decided to give it a week or two more. y'know, see how it goes."

this received a nod in approval. "good lad."

there was the sound of cutlery scrapping on china plates as the four sat around the table finishing their food, fern and noel finishing in synchronisation before getting permission to leave the table.

if he was at home, liam would have said something he thought to be comical within five minutes of sitting down to eat, and noel would have left the table in a huff to dig out a spliff from a pocket of a strewn-somewhere jacket. at fern's house he abided by the rules of matriarch audrey gibson, where correct manners were used at the table and teenagers didn't go about declaring they'd quit college and were relying on music-making to provide them a stable ground for the future.

after climbing up the stairs and re-entering her bedroom, noel beelined for her shelf full of records and mixtapes whilst fern made herself comfortable at her desk again. "hey, where'd all the singles go- fuck me. you're not revising again are ya?"

"test tomorrow. that cow jessica thinks she can get through the whole thing without an ounce of revision. i'm trying to prove her wrong."

"by constantly revisin'?"

"she doesn't have to know that." they stared at each other for a few tension-filled moments, fern daring him to question her logic with her glare. noel held his hands up in a motion of concede, turning his attention back to the records organised perfectly on the shelf. "ye' know you don't have to revise tha' much. i'm sure you could do it without."

"i don't think i should be taking academic advice from you, noel, no offence."

he sighed, tried to take offence as he lay down on the freshly washed sheets of her bed, and found he couldn't. watching her scrawling away at her revision, textbooks and wider reading strewn about around her all over the desk as she tried to absorb the written word on each individual page. fern's shoulder's hunched upwards in focus, vaguely aware of noel flicking through a book left on her bedside table before twiddling his thumbs, restless. "give 'em to me, then you loon."

"what?"

"them cards. i'll test ya, see how yer doin' an all tha'."

fern could hardly believe what she was hearing. more often than not, noel would catch the train for the hour-long journey from burnage to hale without paying for a ticket just to get a change of scenery from the council estate and liam's nagging. sometimes, he'd stand by the window and try to light a cigarette without getting any of the ash onto the windowsill. fern would chastise him, but eventually join him and the pair of them would lean against the window passing a marlboro between them.

"yeah. you'll get good grades and piss off down south for uni - you'll go everywhere and i'll hold down the fort in burnage. always meant to be that way, since ye won tha' scholarship to a school for posh twats."

"you're going everywhere too, noel. i know it. no-one writes songs as good as yours and stays in a council estate while living on the dole their whole life. something good'll come along, you wait."

noel stared at her, watched her move around the room before settling herself along the foot of the bed, laying her head on his stomach. "you're a sop."

"i thought you were helping me." fern handed noel her stack of flashcards, patiently waiting for him to read out questions about thomas cromwell's reformation and katherine howard's promiscuity, her essay about cardinal wolsey abandoned half-completed on the desk. "obviously they're purple."

the two of them sat like that for two hours, not registering that the record player had stopped spinning only twenty minutes into the constant firing of question and answer nor noticing when audrey poked her head into the door to supply them with two mugs of tea (lots of milk and one spoon of sugar for fern, black and the tea bag still steaming for noel) whilst her daughter was busy working her way through more and more questions.

steadfast darkness had fallen by the time they'd finished, fern passing over a new stack as soon an noel thought he was finished. she was rubbing at her eyes as she glanced to the clock - 10pm. "bollocks, you'd better go. your mum'll go mad if you're not back soon."

"trains won't be runnin' this time of night, love." he only ever called her that on nights where the two of them knew he'd be spending the night. "and i won't let you drive me in the dark - mam'll kill me if she knew i'd left you to drive home alone at this time of night."

"alright. i'll go and let mum know."

slowly, fern padded down the stairs leaving noel to get changed into some clothes he always kept in a draw somewhere in her room, popping her head in through the door of the living room. her mum and dad were settled together on the sofa watching the tele, the latest episode of 'emmerdale' flickering from the screen. her dad held a shallow glass of brandy in his hand, her mum a small glass of wine. "everything okay up there, fernie? you two were very quiet when i popped up to check on you both."

"yeah, everything's fine. i was revising for that test tomorrow and noel was helping me. and by the way, he's going to stay over tonight - the trains have stopped and you know what he's like with me driving in the dark." she shrugged, leaning on the door as it swung forwards to peck her dad on the balding patch at the crown of his head. "alright, lovey. don't forget to ring peggy and leave the door open. i don't want to walk in on you two-"

she cut him off immediately, "yes, thank you daddy... oh. look what the cat dragged in!" fern immedietely bounded over to the window, where her small grey cat was clawing at the glass panes. she cracked them open slightly, enough room for him to slink in, a quivering door-mouse clamped between his sharp teeth. "you little assassin." she muttered close to his ear, holding the rodent in the palm of her hand and opening the front door to settle him under a bush on the driveway before heading back inside, taking the feline from her mum waiting in the doorway. "night, mum."

as fern walked across the landing upstairs, she stopped en-route to her bedroom to grab a fresh pair of pyjamas out of the airing cupboard and darted into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. she exited the tiled room, padded the few remaining steps to her bedroom door and pushed it open by the toe of her slipper with the small grey cat still in her arms.

when she stuck her head round the door, felix wrangled against her arms and eventually set himself free from the warm confines of fern's hold, and began to paw against noel's chest from where he was lying down in the middle of the bed. absently, he lifted his fingers up to scratch the cat behind the ears. "mum says you can use the phone to call home, and dad wants us to leave the door open."

noel turned his head, "used the one on the landing, mam sort of assumed i'd be here. better than her thinkin' i'm out with me mates from down at college."

they lay on the bed in silence, noel eventually stretching his arm out to allow fern to roll into his side. "what are you going to do now you've dropped the course?"

"was wonderin' how long it would be until you asked that question."

fern looked up at him expectantly. "if you don't know it's alright. i still don't know what i want to be."

he pressed a light, awkward kiss to her head and reached into the pocket of his jacket tossed over the back of her desk chair. noel produced a packet of cigarettes and his lighter, flicking the box open to pull one out with his teeth. the lighter clicked until it produced a flame, and he pointed it towards the end of the cigarette - took a long drag before settling further back onto the pillows on the bed. "it don't matter if you don't know what you wanna be. you can go to uni and get a degree then work for some posh toff at a publishing house in london or edinburgh."

"what will you do?"

"i don't know. probably end up the same as every other burnage kid. on the dole, a dad at twenty and a drinking problem." at fern's wide, shocked stare, he smiled at the corners of his lips. "only joking. r'kid will have definitely knocked up some bird by that age, though. i'll probably try and get some gigs roadying if i can. just to keep me busy n'all that."

"you should be playing those guitars instead of warming them up for someone else if what you've let me hear is anything to judge by. playing and writing. but for the meantime, stay out of trouble and wait for me after school every once in a while?"

he truly smiled then, in the dark and towards the ceiling so she couldn't see. out of the corner of his eye, noel could see that fern had shut the door upon her return. his fingers tapped out the cigarette in to a burnt out candle against which he crushed the stub with his fingertips. then he titled his head enough to press gentle kisses that held more confidence against her jawline and down the delicate column of her neck. between ministrations he spoke, "if i do that, the lads'll think i've gone soft for my posh bird."

"and have you?"

"maybe."

for my fifty follower celebration! @perennialdoll247 asked: dieter bravo and prompt no. 9— "you look so pretty like this." happy halloween! everyone go listen to the song. rn!!!!

rating & word count: mature | 800

warnings: briefly discussed necrophilia, innuendo, heavy petting

You ask, “Would you have sex with my corpse?” Dieter seems to pause altogether, your question a human reset button. So you add, “Like, fuck my body cold.”

“Uh—I don’t…I don’t know,” he says.

You’re five minutes into a conversation with Dieter Bravo, Hollywood’s star fuck up, and he’s already flustered. Adorable. You came over because he looked like he was distinctly not having a good time. He’d turned on the charm immediately, getting an eyeful of your body in the hugging yet classy costume you’d commissioned from some Parisian designer. It’s made entirely of Ahimsa silk and Swarovski crystals.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the purple hue of moonlight, the colour reflecting in your full glass of crimson. Dieter laughs awkwardly to break the tension, but he doesn’t walk away. He doesn’t even look like he wants to.

“So, I know you were working on that big detective movie,” he says, making small talk again. “But then the financing fell through? That’s what I read.”

You take his hand in your free one, sliding your fingers over his to entwine them. His skin is blazingly warm, a stark contrast to the frigidness of your own. He can feel it too, hand jerking slightly before Dieter relaxes in your grasp. You must feel like an ice box.

“You and I both know we don’t want to talk about that,” you say, voice low in his ear. His cologne smells like honey and coconut, the tart stench of nicotine lingering at his collar. At his temple, you can smell his blood; lactic and sweet, like a chocolate bar. “Why don’t we get out of here?”

Before he can nod, you are dragging Dieter Bravo away from the party of people and prying eyes. The scene reads like that of a shitty teen movie: the two of you disappear upstairs, the standard suburban house party replaced by the lavish mansion of one of the richest movie producers in the world. The stairs are shining marble, a dark carpeted runner sitting in the middle of each step. Beyond the smell of your suitor, it smells like top shelf champagne, like luxury, like money. All of it makes your stomach churn, a fresh whiff of hot garbage.

Dieter is, in comparison, a breath of fresh air. He’s cute, self loathing, and smells delicious.

“You’re so yummy,” you say as you find an empty room at the end of the long upstairs hall.

“Yeah?” Dieter asks, waggling his eyebrows.

“Could just eat you.” He seems to have forgotten completely about the corpse comment from earlier, but that doesn’t shock you. This man thinks he’s about to get laid, of course he’s pushed it from his mind. And he isn’t exactly wrong—he is getting laid tonight. Maybe not in the way he’s expecting.

Pressing you into the back of the bedroom’s door, his hands roam over the sides of your body. He paws at your hips, the meat of your ass, back up to hold you at the waist.

“You look so pretty like this,” he mumbles.

Dieter presses his lips to your jaw, leaving light kisses along the bone until he travels downwards toward your neck. Truly, he’s caressing an ice cub, but he hasn’t seemed to notice.

“Dieter…” you whisper into his hair.

He pulls his attention from your neck, once-coiffed curls in a mussed mess. “Yeah beautiful?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“If you want me to use a condom, that’s not a pro—”

“No, silly,” you laugh with the shake of your head. “Nothing like that. We were waiting for you to notice.”

His head tips to the side at the slightest angle. “We?” he asks. “What?”

You grab his hips, pulling Dieter closer to you. Kissing his cheek, you take his earlobe between your teeth and pull, just for a moment. In his ear, you say, “Everyone at this party’s a vampire.”

Dieter does the unexpected—he laughs. You stare at him, confused. He says, “Look, I know half of those schmucks downstairs are the ex-teen hearthrob of whatever vampy franchise.”

You sigh through your nose, the back of your head thudding against wood.

“No, honey. Not like that,” you say, staring at the ceiling. Your fangs are peeking out from your gums. You keep your lips down over your teeth to keep them from his view.

“I’m not really understanding,” Dieter says.

That’s your queue, finally giving him a full smile. You watch the presence of the new sharp, threatening teeth in your mouth register with him. Dieter Bravo pales about three shades. You haven’t even drained him yet.

“Let me show you then.”

Tips for Renovating Your Attic

For many, the attic is a nearly forgotten catch-all that is home to dark spaces, insulation, spider webs and boxes of mementos that rarely see the light of day. It’s sort of a “‘no man’s land” in your own home that is more often disregarded than acknowledged. So, why would someone choose to renovate that boring, largely unused attic space? Reasons to Renovate Your Attic Space There are a host of reasons why homeowners choose to renovate or upgrade their attic space. If more family space is needed, the attic is a great place to start. Looking for a lively and personable “man-cave?” The attic can become your best friend.  You could also use that space to add a home gym or an office space or study. It might be a separate television room for teens who want a space of their own. An attic could also be transformed into a new bedroom suite that could then be used to generate revenue from potential renters. Whatever the reason, renovating your attic means that you are also increasing the square footage of living space in your home. That makes your home more attractive to potential buyers. Whether you want to sell soon or, maybe never at all, this translates into an obvious increase in the value of your home and that is never a bad thing.  Now that we understand the reasoning behind renovating your attic, here are some tips for renovating your attic. How to Go About Preparing Your Home for an Attic Renovation For most, a true renovation goes beyond installing a new floor and tossing in a couch or desk. Attics are tricky spaces and often read as that “haunted” room upstairs that no one ever talks about. So, yes, when it comes to renovating these spaces preparation is needed and in more ways than one.  First, you will want to consult with a professional who will advise you about building codes and permits. There might even be a list of restrictions that are specific to attic renovations and it would be very good to know about that before making any big plans or putting money down.  Are the attic beams or an existing attic floor strong enough to support new flooring and furniture? How will the addition of these floors and possible walls affect the attic’s ability to provide for pre-existing energy efficiency and comfort for the rest of the household? These are questions that can be answered by a qualified structural engineer.  How Much to Spend on an Attic Renovation? Next, you will need to consider your potential budget. Repurposing your attic space can be costly and that cost will vary according to what that new purpose might be. As an instance, it would cost less to create space for a home gym or an office but more if adding a bedroom or a space that might require more electrical and possibly plumbing work.  Then there’s the matter of the accouterments. Will this be a high-end space with proper ventilation and air conditioning? Will it involve the acquisition of new furniture or will an old sofa and TV do the trick? Depending on the purpose, these elements will need to be considered and then added to the budget at hand.   While on the topic of ventilation, this is no time to go cheap. Attics are usually designed for storage. As a result, they are not built to support proper ventilation and an additional type of attic insulation might be called for. Insulation is a key factor when it comes to creating a comfortable living space out of your former attic.  Since you’re now replacing a storage space with an attic space, it’s time to consider the cost of a portable storage container as one option for storing the now displaced belongings. This is especially true because your attic is typically the highest room in your house. This means that this is the space where all the heat in your home naturally gathers. Make sure your cooling systems are able to take on this new load of heat. What about lighting? Thankfully, today’s lighting technology allows for smart bulbs and LEDs. This means that today’s lighting sources don’t generate the heat they used to. Where possible, windows and skylights can lift the load but when relying on light sources for your new attic space, the suggestion is to use programmable smart bulbs or even consider strip lighting for a more resilient and cost-friendly effect.  In Summation An attic renovation can be a fun choice for your home and family. To start with, it’s a great way to add true value to one of the most important investments in your life. It’s also a wonderful way to beautify what is otherwise an empty and largely unused space.  There are a number of reasons why homeowners choose to upgrade or renovate an attic space. It could be for personal or even professional reasons but some also choose to make use of this space in order to generate a return on that investment. This can be done either by way of renting the space or simply allowing that additional square footage to accumulate in value along with the rest of your home over the years to come.  Whatever your reasons for making this choice, be sure to consult with the professionals first. A structural engineer will be more able to tell you what you can and cannot do with the space. Also, there’s the matter of local codes and permits that will be required before the first hammer comes down.  In the end, make sure that this new area is properly ventilated and well lit. Attics can become a beautiful new space in your home but these new spaces might need to be plumbed and they will assuredly require proper heating and cooling as needed.

The shift from traditional box springs to platform bed supports has opened up new storage possibilities. With the extra vertical space beneath the bed, you can gain up to 42 square feet of storage area under a king-size bed, perfect for keeping your belongings organized and out of sight.

Air Beds: Convenient for Unexpected Guests

Air beds are a practical solution for homes where dedicated guest rooms are not an option. These beds are portable, easy to inflate, and offer a comfortable sleeping surface. Some models even feature self-inflation mechanisms, making setup a breeze.

Trundle Beds: Sleepover-Ready

Trundle beds are a clever addition to children's rooms, providing an extra bed for sleepovers without taking up permanent space. When not in use, the trundle bed neatly tucks away under the main bed frame, eliminating the need for additional temporary bedding solutions.

Day Beds: Dual-Purpose Design

Day beds are an attractive and functional choice for any room, offering a place to sit during the day and sleep at night. They are particularly well-suited for apartments, girls' rooms, or as a stylish option for guest rooms.

Captain's Beds: Ultimate Storage Solution

To maximize storage in a child's bedroom, consider a captain's bed. With built-in drawers beneath the bed frame, you can eliminate the need for separate dressers and free up valuable floor space.

By embracing vertical space in your interior design, you can effectively double the usable floor space in your home. For additional bed resources and design tips, you can visit authoritative sources like Apartment Therapy or Architectural Digest.

When it comes to outfitting a college dorm room, choosing the right bedding is essential. Here are some tips to help you find affordable teen bedding that meets the needs of your teen's new living space. 1. Opt for Teen Room Essentials: College dorms often have specific requirements, such as extra-long twin beds. Look for bedding sets that include extra-long twin sheets to ensure a perfect fit. These sheets are designed to accommodate the longer mattresses commonly found in dorm rooms. 2. Consider Affordability: College life can be expensive, so it's important to find affordable bedding options. Look for bedding sets that offer quality and comfort at a reasonable price. Keep an eye out for sales or discounts to help you stay within your budget. 3.

Decor Ideas For Your Home Inspired By Indian Movies

We can find creative inspiration and decor ideas almost anywhere—even on the sofa—without ever having to leave the house. We are, in fact, discussing movies. But if we don’t know what to observe, we might not always realize it. For all the interior design ideas you could potentially need, we’ve put together a movie and TV-watching endurance race guide. If you enjoy both fun and excitement and design, add these stories to your queue. They cover everything from the coolest teen bedrooms to behind-the-scenes discussions with industry professionals and advice on the color schemes used in the most stunning moments in movie history. 

Wake Up Sid

In Wake Up Sid, do you remember home decoration in Aisha’s studio apartment? When the movie came out, many young people were motivated by her cheap yet practical home improvement suggestions. Although we are unsure if such a large studio apartment can be found in Mumbai, we certainly adore the origami, the yellow accent wall, and the fairy lights. If you want to instantly brighten your room, paint one wall of your bedroom a cheerful color, add some pictures, some lighting, and possibly a bookcase. 

Sid from Wake up shows you some bizarre and intriguing DIY decor ideas. The movie had a lot of creative ideas, from painting the walls in vivid colors to hanging a swing or a birdcage. 

Piku

Piku displayed authentic Bengali living for us with modest, classic decor ideas. Additionally, it conveyed the importance of sticking to our principles. Stick to your customs if you find them comforting. Things like hardwood furniture and chairs with long backs never go out of style. If at all feasible, use vintage movables and comfortable cotton curtains for home decoration.

Finding Fanny

Indian satirical road comedy Finding Fanny, starring Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor, was released in 2014. The actors gave outstanding performances, and every last aspect of the French style home decor was incorporated into the production. Create the impression of a grand French chateau in your home by using patterned wallpaper and drapes. Pay more attention to the little things, such as lamps, sepia-toned artwork, and flower boxes for awesome decor ideas.

Dear Zindagi 

Alia Bhatt’s character in the film Dear Zindagi resides in a sizable studio apartment with an open kitchen, a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, and hanging lights. With some downplayed walls and a mishmash of modern and vintage furnishings, it has a raw, earthy air. You can create a similar atmosphere in a studio apartment if you’re a single lady by purchasing furniture, lamps, and decals from your neighborhood furniture store for home decor.

But, we are aware that a home like the one depicted in the film cannot be found in India. But if you spend money on sheer curtains, sizable cushions, and furniture in soft or neutral colours, you may achieve the same effect. To add a playful touch, you may also scatter flower vases around the area. Aim for lights with various intensities as well so you can adjust them to your mood.

Even though we can only imagine renting or owning such a sizable property in any region of the nation, we can undoubtedly draw some decorating ideas from it. The moderate furnishings are complemented by a few colourful ones, as seen in the video. We also adore the open bookshelf made of wood. If you can find some used furniture, a few bright cushions, and a few bit of glassware artifacts, you are good to go to decorate flats in Chintalkunta. 

We all like Bollywood and frequently attempt to live a “filmy” lifestyle. Although you require a sizable income to live the film star lifestyle, you may still decorate your home in the Bollywood style even on a tighter budget. The interior design of a home frequently describes the type of resident. Below are some tips you can include to make your house look more Bollywood inspired!

Some tips to follow for home decor

Bollywood style doesn’t always have to be entertaining; it can also be elegant, as Shahrukh Khan highlighted in “Om Shanti Om.” A designer king-sized bed or a sizable work of art on an empty wall, for instance. Metal candle stands or antique artifacts can also give your room a luxurious atmosphere.

Make sure you don’t design anything that will be impossible to carry out when trying to build the Bollywood décor of your dreams. The size of your home should suit your decorating concept. For instance, a large chandelier cannot be placed in a space with low ceilings.

Maintain as much interest as you can in the furniture. Luxury sofa sets from a Karan Johar film should be used if your theme is classy or beautiful. If quirky is your style, choose antique furniture that goes with it.

To make your room uniquely distinct and reflect your love of Bollywood, add posters and decor. Place props that can serve as a table, a holder, or something as basic as a pen rest in empty areas.

To show your enthusiasm for Bollywood, choose bedsheets and cushion covers with prints. These days, printed covers and bedsheets are widely accessible. If your particular taste isn’t available elsewhere, you may always choose customized prints and realize your fantasies.

Your favorite actor or movie might serve as the inspiration for the concept of your home decor. Create movie posters or dialogue-based graffiti to add visual appeal to your walls.

To fully modify your home, consider thematic wall projections as an alternative to wallpaper.

Avoid attempting to construct a design that would be virtually impossible to carry out (for example, installing a giant chandelier that does not fit properly on the ceiling).

Make sure the fabrics and the décor are coordinated and that they mix together.

Theme-appropriate furniture pieces should be added, such as a magnificent chair or a trunk that has been specially painted.

Flats in Chintalkunta are well decorated and offer a clear, traffic-free space that you can customize and adorn just the way you like, matching your tastes and aesthetics. With that being said, you are now free to experiment with your own creative expertise and see what can you bring to the table in terms of home decor!

secrets & suds

request: long request but to summarize jj is involved with a kook but hasn’t moved past hooking up, he gets in trouble for pope sinking the boat, and she decides to help out. 

word count: 2.3k

warnings: mentions of smut but none, cussing, typos, angst, fluff

He presses a quick kiss to your cheek as he throws his shirt over his disheveled head. His skin is slightly damp and glistening and some of his tufts of hair plastered to his forehead. “Gotta bounce, see you tomorrow?”

You beam at the blond from across the room and send him a smirk, “You always do”. He rushes out of your house just before dawn. JJ was always good about making sure to leave before your parents woke up, specifically your dad. You never minded the class division, but it was easy to say from your spot on the kook throne. You take a moment to regain your breath then toss yourself back onto your silky king size bed. Your satin pajama set lay wrinkled off the side of your bed, you knew he was going to love ripping off the matching outfit as soon as he saw you. 

For some time now you and JJ have had a little arrangement. And by arrangement that meant he came over most nights to fool around. Sometimes you’d get him to watch a movie or cuddle, but it was always interrupted by your parents waking up or his friends texting him for something. You weren’t exactly sure when you started to fall for the troublemaker, but it came with ease. He seemed so rough and mysterious, which is what amplified your want for him in the first place. But after closer observation, he is kind, gentle, and would do anything for you. Of course you knew it would never happen. He is too caught up in the division and himself to even want anything more than this. Not that you don’t love the time you get with him, but you crave more. 

You sigh as you stand up wrapping yourself in your fluffy robe. Peering out of your bedroom window, you watch JJ sprint across your lawn and expertly hop the high gate. 

-

Alternating between mindlessly scrolling through your phone and checking out your window, you grow impatient. JJ had never missed coming over without texting. You were worried something happened or maybe he was just bored of you. It was getting late, so you send a single text hoping he was okay and try to lull yourself to sleep.

-

The next morning you wake up and for a moment your fears weren’t there. Slowly blinking your eyes open, it all comes back to you. You reach for your phone hoping for some relief. To your dismay no new messages were from him. You jump out of bed and rush to take a quick shower. Some slight snooping wouldn’t hurt. 

You definitely weren’t close with any of JJ’s friends, but you did know where to find them. You enter the Wreck looking overwhelming overdressed in your designer shoes and this season’s newest sundress. You find a vacant booth and make yourself cozy until a curly haired girl you recognize as one of his best friends comes to get your drink order. After she introduces herself, it clicks. Kiara right you had a class with her freshman year of high school. Hm small world. She comes back with your coffee and asks what you’d like to order.

“Have you seen JJ lately?” you awkwardly ask. She shoots you a confused look before settling into a glare. “What’s it to you?” You stumble on your words, “Oh… nothing. He just normally mows our lawn on Wednesday mornings, but he didn’t show up. Just thought I’d ask”. She seems semi satisfied with your answer and doesn’t press for more detail. “Well, he’s busy. Not that it’s any of your business anyway. So do you want something to eat or not?” You weren’t sure why she was being so hostile it's not like you two ever had any direct problems. Maybe she was just being protective of her friend. You weren’t going to take it to heart. 

You slump down in your seat resigning to the fact you weren’t going to get any answers from her. “No, I think I’m good with just this. Thanks”. She huffs whatever and walks away. Just as you're about to leave you see a frantic boy rush up to the counter to Kiara. You knew it was Pope from the pictures JJ has shown you. He looks like he’s on the verge of meltdown. 

“I can’t believe JJ covered for me. Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money. I feel so bad! What do I do?” He’s running a mile a minute and Kiara tells him to lower his voice. She brings him into the back room to comfort him away from eavesdropping ears. However, you heard it all and can’t comprehend what happened that he would owe that much money. Nonetheless, you conclude that you’re going to find a way to help him, wherever he is. You drop a couple twenties leaving a hefty tip and rush out of the restaurant. 

Walking down the street you bump into the three bozos that rule your side of the island. They ogle you and shout their vulgar ‘compliments’ at you. You scoff but are well accustomed to their barbarian-like nature. As you strut away, you overhear Rafe yelling at Topper. “Dude, get over the boat! You won’t even hit on y/n with us. That Maybank kid will have to pay one way or another”. What was with today and perfect timing? You thought you were going to have to dig a little deeper.

You walk home to think of a plan. You had lots of money, but your parents would notice if you took that big of a chunk out without something nice to show in return. There was no way you could get that much, but you could find a way to get fifty percent. That would be enough to get the authorities off his back and give you time to talk down the Thorton’s. You decide you could easily sneak a couple thousand without your parents noticing, but you were going to have to figure out a way to come up with the rest. 

It dawns on you after spending all your childhood watching teen rom coms. A car wash! Everyone was always searching for one after a storm. Plus, it wouldn’t take much but a simple tweet and an instagram story to have people lining the block. You immediately text the girls’ group chat to set the plan for tomorrow. 

- 

You wake up with a spring in your step ready to put your plan into action. You frown a little knowing it was another day with no word from JJ. You hope he’s safe and just taking time to himself. 

Putting on your skimpiest bikini and shorts you gawk at yourself in the mirror. It’s not like you had a problem with showing yourself off, you just knew the attention you were in for today regardless. You were doing this for JJ though, you wanted to help him out and show him there’s a lot more to you than having money and pretending to be perfect. 

You greet all your friends and start setting up. As cars start to line up, you can’t help but giggle to yourself thinking of the stereotypical ‘Cherry Pie’ or “Milkshakes’ playing in the background of every car wash scene. You get to work flirting and scrubbing cars as you all work for every dollar. The nice thing about Figure 8 was that they were willing to spend whatever. Just as you were about to head to another car you hear someone shouting your name.

You whip around to see a red faced and furious JJ. “You’re alive!” You try to lighten the tension. “What the hell are you doing y/n?” You frown in confusion. “What do you mean? A car wash?” He doesn’t seem satisfied with your sarcasm. “You're half naked out here and all these guys can’t keep their hands to themselves,”  he remarks annoyed while flailing his arms. You grin for a moment realizing he’s jealous, then it dawns on you, “First of all, you just disappeared off the face of the earth for days. No text or anything. Second, since when you do you care about what other guys say to me?” He crosses his arms over his body clearly irritated by your logical retort. “It’s none of your business. And I don’t care”. All the energy drains from you at the impact of his words. “Fine. Then keep not caring and leave me alone.” You swivel around stalking off to another car leaving him alone. Even if he didn’t want you, you were determined to finish your job and then move on.

You turn over your shoulder to see JJ storming off in the other direction. Your heart aches at seeing him actually leave. At least you knew he was breathing now. The next car pulls up with Pope in it. “What was that all about?” Your eyes widen at one of his friends catching you. He chuckles, “It’s okay I know about you guys. He tells me everything”. You soften knowing you weren’t a complete secret. “I’m not sure. He’s upset with me though.” He sends you an empathetic smile, “Don’t worry. He’s dealing with a lot right now. He’ll cool down eventually.” You nod your head, “Yeah, I heard about that. That’s actually what this is all for,” you admit sheepishly. Pope’s eyebrows raise with confusion. “My mom had me bring the car, because she said it was raising money for the high school”. Yikes. “That’s my bad. I kinda said it was for whatever people would listen to, so people would come”. He laughs, “Quick thinking y/l/n. You want some help?” Now it's your turn to laugh. “I’m sure we could find you some short shorts somewhere.” He parks the car off to the side and grabs a sponge to contribute. 

The rest of the day goes by with a breeze while joking with Pope and the girls. The last car drives off and you all plop on the curb for a break. You dry off your hands and start counting the money. You could almost cry happy tears. You raised over four thousand dollars. You thank everyone and promise to buy them mimosas at brunch tomorrow. For spoiled rich kids, they sure knew how to help someone in need. Pope pulls you into a side hug, “Thanks for doing this for him”. You smile squeezing him back, “thanks for helping”. 

After putting on some real clothes you stalk off to the Thorton’s. They promise they’ll leave JJ alone about the couple thousand left so it can be paid off slowly, now that they have a down payment for another boat. You breathed a sigh of relief knowing you did all you could. 

-

JJ was relaxing at John B.'s when he got a call. After hanging up, he’s elated and full of energy. He yells to the pogues, “Guys they said I don’t have to serve any time for the boat!” They all jump up excited and ask how. “They said over half of the debt has been paid, so they said I’ll have to sign up for some payment plan. But this means it won’t be on my record or anything”. They all join him in a group hug congratulating him. John B. pipes up, “Who paid it?” JJ stops for a moment considering that it wasn’t just magic, and the only person he knew that had money that knew was Kie. “Did you have your parents do it Kie? I seriously can’t thank you enough,” he picks her up into a giant hug. She shakes her head once he lets her down. “No, I wish I could’ve though. Sorry man.” 

Pope is smirking thinking about his day yesterday trying not to blow his cover. JJ notices. “What do you know, Pope?” He just shakes his head not budging. JJ throws his arm around his neck putting him into a choke hold wrestling move. Kie and John B. are enjoying watching them fight until Pope taps out. “Fine! It was y/n. That’s what the whole giant parade of cars getting washed was”. JJ freezes speechless. He turns on his heels and instantly busts out of the chateau. 

Meanwhile, you’re getting into comfy clothes preparing yourself for a lonely movie marathon tonight. Just as you settle into your thousand thread count sheets, your door swings open making you jump. “JJ you scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here?” He crosses your abnormally large room beelining to you. He grabs your chin and pulls you into a kiss. Your hand naturally falls to his arm as you allow him to passionately lead your lips. You pull away gasping for air. “What was that for?” 

He sits down next to you. “I am so sorry. I’m sorry for disappearing and not texting you. And I’m really sorry for being such a dick yesterday at the car wash. I didn’t know you were doing all that for me. Either way though I shouldn’t have acted like that. Thank you for what you did. It means a lot. I’ll repay you I promise”. You smile rubbing your thumb against his hand. “I forgive you. You don’t need to repay me, we worked for it. You were right though, it wasn’t my business”. He shakes his head, “I wasn’t right. I like you a lot. I’m stupid for not saying it before. I just didn’t know how to tell you about all my issues and thought I’d scare you off.”

You lean over kissing him on his cheek to soothe his obvious tension. “You can’t scare me off. And I really like you too. You can trust me with your secrets, but I’ll try not to meddle anymore if you don’t want to tell me.” Grabbing your arms to scoot you closer, he brings you in for another long and deep kiss. “Don’t worry. You can know all my secrets now,” he winks as he pulls his shirt off easing you back onto the bed.

This was an early draft for interactions between Damian and Tim in my fic series Code Bat - at this point, I was still experimenting with what Damian would wear for a costume when striking out on his own, so he’s not Canvas, here.

Word count: 756 words

Enjoy! :D

Only one bedroom in Titans tower was sound-proof.

Back when it was first constructed for their team, Tim had made sure that each of their rooms was what they preferred - designed with them in mind.

For himself, that meant privacy from two super-hearing friends. The others were slightly reluctant to allow that, but had still allowed their friend his space.

Tim’s room became something of a safe space - he could do casework about Gotham, contact his family, and after a long day, pull out the only batarang that he had in the room and stare contemplatively at it.

Sometimes he just needed a reminder of his connections - his roots.

Fortunately, that was not the only thing in his room which reminded him of home. Nightwing had dropped by once to check out the new tower. Tim stepped back into his room that night to find a neatly folded jacket on his bed. It was Titans merch with all the previous Titans, the original members, having their respective emblems patterned on the grey wool.

Tim took to wearing it until it was absolutely too small for comfort - constant washing from blood stains and coffee stains caused the fabric to shrink pretty fast.

Now he was moving out of the room - Young Justice was returning, fully trained this time, and much more experienced. There was a new generation of Teen Titans to be trained.

“Red Robin.”

Speaking of.

Tim turned to incline his head at his younger brother. Damian was dressed in the get-up that Kon had first met him in - a black scarf and a trenchcoat. His green eyes were hidden under brown lenses. He was fourteen, and had grown to be Tim’s size. 

Tim counted it a blessing that they were on good terms, even if that meant receiving constant jabs at his stunted growth.

“What is it, D?” Tim questioned politely, feigning ignorance while tipping his head at the still-opened doorway. Damian quickly stepped the full way in, allowing the door to slide close behind him. His stance relaxed minutely.

“Drake,” he greeted, letting his accent slip out more prominently. The name he used to address his older brother had long lost its malice. He gazed about the room - packed up aside from a box in the corner. His eyes lingered there.

“I was going to give you that,” Tim stated. Damian’s gaze flicked back to him curiously. Funny, how Damian was just beginning to learn childlike traits at the age that most people became prickly teens.

“May I…” he flicked a wrist out towards the box, and Tim helped to slide it over to his waiting hand.

Inside was a navy blue utility belt, and a T-shirt with Titans tower on its front, looking more like an impressionistic painting than anything. 

“Your yellow belt wouldn’t work with your current choice of costume,” Tim explained, nodding to the deep blue of his trenchcoat, “There’s an emergency button to contact any of us, and there’s also a tracker on it. Just so you know.”

“As for the shirt - well, I thought you’d appreciate something artsy,” Tim commented off-handedly with a shrug, “Plus, you can always wear it underneath that trench coat of yours, if you don’t like it.”

Read: if he secretly loved it, but refused to openly acknowledge it.

Damian was trying on the utility belt as he spoke, strapping it underneath his coat and humming in approval. He buttoned the coat back up, then quietly admired the design of the shirt.

“Thanks, Drake,” he spoke softly, the sound barely reaching him through the muffling from his scarf. Tim smiled softly, and risked a quick ruffling of the boy’s hair. 

Damian squawked and batted away his hand with a scowl. He huffed, but still carefully replaced the shirt back in its box. 

“I came here to discuss using this room as my own,” he stated, eyeing Tim and silently seeking permission for that very request. Tim smirked, and patted the newly-opened box, “Why do you think I had this here? Housewarming gifts are placed in rooms that are used.”

Damian paused at that. He gave a fleeting smile, visible only through his eyes, then he was striding out the door. Jon Kent was quick to latch onto his side and ask what the two had talked about.

“Transferring of ownership,” Damian stated, resisting the urge to glance back at the closed door behind him. 

This handing down was much more peaceful than the first - it made Damian feel much more content than the first time.
