Minted Decor

As a teen, you value your independence. So does our team at PBteen. We want to be able to give your room a signature style that sets it apart. There are many ways to leave your mark on things. The bedding you choose, where you put things in your bedroom and even the kind of furniture you like says much about you. Artwork – like the pieces in our Minted Decor Collection – is a terrific way to customize your personal space. Minted Decor comes from several artists with a distinctive feel. That makes it easy to find pieces that fit your vibe.

First things first – if you haven’t thought it about it much, now is an ideal time to decide what your signature style is. Don’t worry. It’s not hard. If you already have a pretty good idea of what you like, it’s even easier. One clue to the kind of art you probably like is your personality. Are you the adventurous type who loves to try new things and be bold when other teens are timid? Is spending time with friends and talking to them important to you? Your interests tell you something about whether you’re into art that’s really bright and energetic or soft and relaxing instead.

Coming up with a personalized style is awesome because it shows that you’re becoming an adult. True, it doesn’t mean you need to have all the answers just yet but you’re definitely turning into a unique person. You’re special and so are your ideas. Your taste in art might change in time as well because you get inspired by the things you see and experience.

Is it OK to just pick out things that you like, even if you don’t know why you like them? Definitely! Going with your instincts is a fun way to choose art. Sometimes, it’s the combination of colors, the pattern or the theme that you love. The result is a cool collection of pieces that make you happy anytime you’re in your room. Eventually, you can apply that talent and creativity to decorating your own college dorm or apartment for design on a big scale.

When decorating your bedroom, you can also choose to use art and decor that fit a certain theme. If you want your room to feel like it’s right in front of a tropical beach somewhere, then ocean-inspired art, pictures of sand and waves and surf murals are a few ways to create a laid-back vibe. Wood furniture and white and bright-colored bedding also match. Of course, once you have a theme in mind, the important thing is what you think works best.

Does all the art in your room have to match? Not at all. Since you’re displaying pieces you love, it doesn’t matter if they follow the same design or color or not. All that matters is that you like them. True, if you want them to have a common theme – something like New York architecture or horses, for example – you can. It’s totally up to you. If you’re looking for a certain color palette in your bedroom, such as lavender and aquamarine, picking out art with those shades makes the effect even stronger. Matching accent pillows and throws help too.

Does your bedroom have a romantic ambience? You might like artwork with elegant letters, flowers, hearts and warm pastels, all in matching white frames. Comfy bedding, beautiful blankets and a lamp all give the room a touch of love and excitement. Is modern art more your thing? There are no limits to what you can do. Artwork pieces that are a little different, such as jet black borders, a floor lamp or a bold rug, are just a few decor possibilities.
