For teenagers, choose a chandelier that has a sturdy construction and matches with the decor of the room. You can also make your own chandelier very easily and with just a few simple supplies. Look around flea markets to find an old but stylish birdcage and cover it with strings of lights in various sizes or colors for a cool chandelier for your teen's room. For extra brightness, you can suspend a light bulb in the center of the cage. Decorative strips of paper or ribbons in silver and gold also make the chandelier look impressive.
Floor lamps

If your teen's room decor features a beach theme, your teen can opt for floor lamps in bright hues like lime, orange and hot pink for a bright, summery look. Normally, floor lamps range from three to six feet from the ground and this size is dependent on your light requirement. If you are looking to get this lamp for the purpose of ambient lighting then it is advised to get a floor lamp that measures around four feet or more.
