Teen Comforter Set
Turning Teen Angst into Teen Style
The teen years are filled with anxiety, rebellion and
identity crisis. When you live with a teen it may seem
like you like in the middle of a soap opera and that
your teen is playing more than one character. With all
the extra energy going into to exploring their
identities most teens can use a creative outlet. Why not
channel them into exploring their identity through style
by having them shop for their own teen comforter set?
Avoid chaos and clashing tempers by using some of the
following tips for linen shopping with a teen:
1. Set a budget before you leave the house. There is
nothing like going to the store and finding that perfect
set only to find out that it costs way more than you
planned on spending. Since you initiated the shopping
trip with your teen they may rebel when told that they
are not allowed to have a particular set. If you discuss
budgeting with your teen before you leave the house how
much you are willing to spend it should prevent any
on-the-spot arguments about price. If your teen really
loves a certain comforter set then they may be willing
to pitch in some cash of their own.
2. Discuss your decorating expectations. If you have
anything that you believe you just will not be able to
live with in their room, state it upfront. If you decide
to re-do the whole room and not just the bed linens,
discuss what you are willing to compromise about and
what is a deal breaker. If dark paint is off limits,
make that clear.
3. Be flexible. Ok, so maybe your idea of style isn’t a
Hawaiian print comforter and fake grass hanging from the
door, but it could be a small price to pay for
supporting your teen’s self-expression. If the Goth look
is more your teen’s taste but you refuse to paint the
walls black, maybe compromise with a black comforter set
for your teen and some interesting black and white
prints for the walls. Remember that you can negotiate
and compromise without losing authority.
4. Take your time. Whether you are redesigning the
entire room or you are just choosing a new teen
comforter set, do not expect that in an hour or two you
will find something that suits you, your teen and your
budget. Make a few shopping trips and spread them out
over a few days or a couple of weeks. Feeling rushed or
spending too many hours shopping can put both of you on
edge and makes a fun project a chore.
5. Have fun. This is a great way to interact with your
teen in a positive way. Enjoy the planning, the shopping
and the acquisitions. This is a way to get to know your
maturing teen better while supporting them and their
unique sense of style. Watch design shows, consult books
together and laugh about your differences.
Buying a comforter set for your teen does not have to be
a chore. Involve your teen, discuss options and shop
together for a look that suits your teen’s growing
tastes and does not completely cause you offense.
Allowing your teen some freedom of choice can turn teen
angst into teen style.
