Vintage is trendy everywhere. How about a simple clean lines look for a vintage teen room? The items on the black shelf seem to be floating on the painted black shelf (against the painted black wall).  Image from here.

Cubes and crates stacked create a simple storage solution. Crates should be secured to the wall with Velcro or screws.

Three Kids In A Room?? Try A Trio of Hanging Beds...

Such a cool, contemporary room for three boys'.  Not only do these beds look good, but they also save space and are practical.  The beds hang from the wall and ceiling with thick rope from metal hooks and are also bolted into the wall. Marian and her hubby spent a bit of time building, creating and painting this incredible room. Wall color: Creek Bend by Behr. Poster: Kideko. Bed linens from IKEA. Poster found here.



Marian explains the inspiration for the room:

"After close to a year of looking for bunkbeds, and lots of brainstorming about built-ins, I saw Ana White's hanging daybed. I loved the rustic look and simplicity of the project. Knowing that the beds would take up a lot of space, I wanted to keep the rest of the room simple. I love the combination of modern and vintage, so I tried to have a bit of both in their room. The boys are all so different and have varying interests, it would have been hard to pull of a "themed" room. The colors evolved from the Kideko poster... all three of them rock! I wanted to give them a space that was fun and inviting, and a space that would grow with them." Images and info found via here.
