Stick to classic styles if you're also buying your teen new furniture for her room. She can dress it up by draping a funky piece of fabric over her nightstand or adding decorative trim to her dresser or bookshelf with temporary adhesive. Browse at flea markets or consignments shops to spend less on any trendy items that she also wants to include.

Paint the walls a neutral color like white or beige instead of one like black or hot pink that she'll get sick of once it goes out of fashion. Let her express her style with a border of interesting vinyl wall words that she can change with her mood (see Resources below).
