Tween, or pre-teen, is a developmental stage following early childhood and preceding adolescence. The age range is commonly designated as 10 – 13 years, which is a delicate and important change between childhood and teenage years. Tweens’ moods at this stage of life can change drastically. You will also find that your tween daughter will lose interest in many of the things that she loved as a child. Tweens are full of independence and have their own ideas on how to redecorate and redesign their rooms.
The possibilities for creating your tween daughter’s dream bedroom are near endless. When it comes to choosing bedroom furniture essentials – a bed, storage spaces, a desk, and bedside tables, etc. – it is a good idea to go for plain classic styles and neutral colours for longevity. As your daughter grows up and her tastes mature, it is then easy to change and adjust the decor around those basics.
The list below will look at some great girly bed options that your tween would love and that will happily see her into her teenage years and onwards.
