How to Decorate Your Teen Bedroom with Decorative Letters, Words and Sayings

Looking for a trendy yet inexpensive way to decorate your teen bedroom walls? Add quotes, words or sayings.

Vinyl wall lettering is an inexpensive decor option for teens. It’s a great way to personalize your teen bedroom especially if your parent’s have said no, to painting your walls.

It’s also super easy to apply plus with vinyl wall lettering there’s no messy cleanup. Another cool thing about vinyl lettering is that it can easily be removed without any damage to your walls.

When it comes to decorative letters, words and sayings you can either order custom or pre-made vinyl lettering online or create your own using your computer.

If you opt to create your own you’ll find websites featuring popular quotes to be a great source of inspiration.

You can place your letters, words or sayings just about anywhere in your teen bedroom you desire. Some great ideas are to put a quote or saying over your doorway or along a wall border. Single words like “Believe”, “Dream”, “Love”, could be centered on doors or on small sections of walls.

Popular Sayings

Following are some of my favorite sayings for teen bedrooms:

I love life

Don’t quit

No Fear

No Limits

Seize the Day

All things are possible

Believe in yourself…

Achieve your dreams

Don’t dream your life, live your dream.

Dreams are the fruit of the imagination

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Create Your Own

To create your own decorative letters, words, and sayings all you need is a word processing program like Microsoft Word. Type what your want to put on your walls and then start experimenting with things like starting each word with a capital or using all lower case letters. A great tip for the experimental process is to test out different fonts by highlighting your letter, word, or phrase and then previewing each font to see how it looks.

Select a font and size that works well with the rest of your teen bedroom. Once you have a pretty good handle on what you want from a font and size standpoint, print it out and hold it up against your wall to see if it’s an appropriate size. Once you’ve happy with the font and size, take a pair of scissors and cut out your letter, word or each section of your saying as you want it to appear on your wall.

Depending on your level artistic ability or the difficulty of the font, you can either place a piece of carbon behind your print out and position it where you want it on your wall using green painter’s tape and trace over the letter(s) with a pen or pencil; or try your hand at free-styling. If you’re going to draw out a free hand outline you’ll want to affix the letter, word or saying just above the area you’ll be drawing on. A second piece of painter’s tape positioned just below where you want your saying will give you a straight line to work from. Create your outline in pencil and then use either a paint pen or a permanent marker to finish it off.
