I've long observed that girls often develop a strong sense of style early on, but Quinty Soederhuijsen takes it to the next level. This teenager from the Soederhuijsen family played a key role in designing her own bedroom, resulting in a sophisticated space that reflects her budding talent. With aspirations to become an interior architect, she's clearly on the right path—as evidenced by her impeccable choices.

Recently, I shared insights on revamping my son's teenage room—he's a bit older than Quinty but showed zero interest. This highlights a common difference: girls like Quinty express clear preferences in fashion and interiors much earlier. I'm thrilled to showcase her bedroom, a testament to personal style done right.
Quinty chose a light, fresh foundation with calm walls, replacing previous wallpaper for versatile design options. Twin skylights flood the room with natural light, enhancing its spacious feel. Effective window coverings are essential; while traditional blinds may not suit roof windows, roller blinds, pleated shades, or duettes work beautifully.
Honestly, many girls would envy Quinty's generous space and thoughtful design. My own daughter hasn't seen the photos yet, but I suspect it'll spark renovation ideas! In larger rooms, statement pieces like the Xenos Egg chair—complete with a cozy sheepskin—shine, though they're best for ample areas.
IKEA offers endless options, whether off-the-shelf or customized. Behind the Egg chair sits a tailored IKEA Pax wardrobe crafted by Grandpa, with the desk and bed sourced from the same retailer. Their drawer units are ideal for budget-friendly custom desks—we have one too, so I spotted it instantly.
Accessories make all the difference, and Quinty's are sparingly used to powerful effect—proving 'less is more.' The Hema garland lamp and Xenos macramé plant hangers add charm. A ladder leads to a loft with a chill-out bench, plus plenty of greenery for that fresh vibe. What more could a teen want?
Quinty has masterfully decorated her teenage bedroom, positioning her perfectly for a career in interior design. Thanks to Gaby and Quinty for sharing this inspiring space!
