1950s Teenage Bedroom
The word teenager was created sometime in the 1950's.
Before Modernism Week in Palm Springs comes to a close, and we are on to other ideas, let's call today back to the future day decorating teen rooms
This 1954 bedroom was described as a boys' room, but coral? A wooden mat is used for the vertical striped wall treatment used to protect the walls. Clever. But from what? Bolsters were commonly found atop tailored bedspreads.

What did a teenager's bedroom look like in the 1950's and 1960's?
Yahoo answers posts memories some folks shared of their bedrooms, such as:
I had a double bed with a hand-me-down yellow chenille bedspread. The furniture was blond wood that was the popular thing in the late 40's, but traditional matching bed, dresser, & vanity with velvety bench with rose fabric. As a reward for cleaning my room, Mother bought be see-through yellow curtains to match. Then I had a bookshelf I made with Mother's help, plus dachshund bookends, & all sorts of collectibles, like yellow poodle on chains, for the vanity. I also had a great washable pastel blue large chenille throw rug over hardwood floors. There was also corkwood above the knotty pine walls so I could put up stars' pics & such. Oh, yeah, & I had a quilt my grandmother made, plus the stuffed animals she made, & a whole collection of dolls from childhood.
