Help 16’ bedroom ceiling?!

last year

My teen daughter’s bedroom has 16’ ceilings with a loft above. She wants a mix of wallpaper and trim work (as do I) but we have no idea where to break it because of the high ceilings. Her room is super plain now. I think we might do a display of her Disney backpacks somewhere (she has like 12) She wants a “coconut girl vibe”. I’ve tried searching for ideas but her room is so unique. Don’t mind the messy room :) this was right after Christmas. Also not sure about where to put artwork…. This will become a guest bedroom in a her bed is a king size. couple years as well.

    The end was supposed to say, this will be a guest room in a couple years and her bed is a king size… (not sure what happened on the post and why I can’t edit it)

    You could tack up a chair rail the perimeter of the room, the height of the headboard, and paper below it as wallpaper wainscotting.

    Command hooks for the backpacks maybe up in the loft?

    I did figure the typo lol no worries.

    Use removable wallpaper on the wall behind the shelves of toiletries next to the ladder. It has a definite shape, so it is obvious where to stop.


    Put the backpacks on Command hooks (as tracefloyd suggested) above the dresser- two rows of six.


    When she is ready to let go of things that she has no interest in anymore, she can sell or donate them.

    I would paint the ceiling a dark color in her coconut girl vibe colors (Aqua?)

    Hang long sheer panels above the windows. I would wallpaper the window wall and the loft railing wall (where there is a definite break) Paint the other walls a color that she likes. I would try the bed whee the dresser is now, so you have a good wall for display.

    Wow! So many great recommendations!!! We are planning on “de-junking” her room today and only keeping things she really truly loves (she’s sentimental so it’s hard) but she wants to do it so I’m happy to help her! I’m excited to show her these ideas!

    I would do a wainscot panel design using the loft as a break point then do wall paper as the insert on the lower panels.





    Does she use the backpacks or just wants to display them? I would hang them off the bottom of the loft or do a nice display over the dresser.



    Fun space!

    Perhaps consider a peel and stick wallcovering on the feature wall.

    Is there room to have the bed run off the window wall? Add some draperies and wallpaper the doors.

    I would not go through a lot of expensive trim adding or multi-color painting since the room will become a guest room in two years. Removable wallpaper on a small area that can be easily reached and changed is much more in tune with the change in two years. Professionals on scaffolding or high ladders are always expensive.

    There are only so many special features one room needs to have. This room has many of them arleady - 16 ft ceilings, a wall of lights, a loft, and a major attraction bed. Trim in here is complete overkill and just does not fit this style of architecture.


    The wall trim trend and the coconut girl trend will be over just in time for you to convert this into a guest room. So limit the trendiness to things that can be easily and inexpensively done.


    She has a cool bed, cool, chair, a fridge, and a loft. That is pretty amazing right there.


    Use removable wallpaper to decorate the short wall where the shelving unit is. Get great coconut girl vibe bedding. Hang her bags on command hooks above the dresser. Call it a day!


    PS - I'd want to drape the bed frame with some gauzy fabric to make it feel like a beach bed vibe.
