It's a Teen Thing

by Kirsty Nixon in Style & Interiors on 18 August 2011

Red warning lights start going off one by one when kids get closer to their teens. But that's just a warm up. As kids get older, they want more control. Whether it concerns their daily schedule, their dress sense, their bedroom, they won't be happy unless they get to put their personal mark on it.

At Sliderobes, the emphasis is on creating space – and that’s one thing teenagers can’t get enough of. Teenagers need mental space. It’s important not to give them an action-packed schedule that doesn’t allow for pockets of empty time when the mind can simply wonder. It also helps if they have their own physical space so this wondering can happen in private.

Mood swings are inevitable and brain activity fuelled by surging hormones might dictate some behaviour, but teenagers still want to have their say when it comes to decorating bedrooms. Teenagers like to make their own choices, though it’s a good idea to gently guide them with subtle direction.

One of the best things about Sliderobes’ designer doors is that they are child and teenage-friendly.  Whatever quirky taste, colour or decor they want for their bedroom, a Sliderobes designer will know the perfect door to recommend. Preteens have different tastes but that’s no reason to hold off on a getting a Sliderobes wardrobe. These custom-made wardrobes are built to last and will be there long after your little one has flown the coop. If a teenager decides to redecorate, a new door can easily replace old one.

Most teenagers are usually plugged in and switched on to some type of social media. This is where the Sliderobes fun kicks in. With our Door Design feature on our website, your teenager can virtually create any combination of colours, textures and sliding door wardrobes and share the results with friends. This design tool is particularly handy since a friend’s input usually tops the opinion poll hierarchy at this stage.

Whether they upload an image of their room or use the interactive room on Door Design, this program lets creativity flow so they can experiment and play. And think of all the money it will save on paint samples.

Sliderobes aren’t just trendy, they can also help teach your teen a little responsibility.  Most teenagers have to clean their own rooms. The  mess may be allowed to pile up for a few days, but sooner or later that booming voice will beam down to say “CLEAN YOUR ROOM!”

This is where a Sliderobes becomes a teenager’s best friend. Its storage solutions are individually designed to fit any lifestyle and tackle even a teenager’s heap of clutter.  And the easier it is to clean their rooms, the more time they have to help with the dishes.
