Healthy Bedroom Design & Feng Shui for Teens (and younger!)
From designer DeAnna Radaj (owner of Bante Design), this entire division of workshops, products AND book are all geared for kids & teens to help them become more PROACTIVE in creating their environments & to live in healthier living spaces. While the DESIGN aspect covers nurseries to teens (Check out the Bante Design website for more information), the workshops are for 12-17 yr olds for them to learn about what THEY can do to create their spaces.
From being more eco-friendly & sleeping in a "healthy" bedroom to learning about the "evils" of clutter & how to purge unwanted items, the teens can also learn some basic Feng Shui tips & the 9 Life Areas which can help them with goal-setting and proper furniture placement, color choices & accessories that will help support all of their goals & dreams.

"I LOVE my room!"-Jonathan N., 10 yrs old
Clutter & re-making this bedroom into a tween bedroom was the goal here. I took Jonathan's love of the SW, his arrowhead & money collections and took a 19th Centruy historical color scheme based on adobes in the SW with an art deco twist. Color scheme is sand with 2 shades of blue & white. The art deco steps are in blue/white to highlight all portals (window/doors) like in the desert SW. A leather shag rug and gaming chair, with mica shades on the lamps & outdoor iron sconces & overhead light make this room a place that he can DEFINITELY grow into. Custom shadowboxes were done to show-off his arrowheads & money collections. A faux leather treatment was done on the walls to give depth & to "age" them. I love this room too!
