Increasing the Comfort
Make your bedroom comfortable. Your room is where you can be alone and have personal time. You want to be comfortable in your room, so buy some blankets, rugs, curtains, and pillows that are your favorite colors. You could also experiment and have a colorful room. It's all your decision!

Follow feng shui principles in your bedroom, like keeping electronics out of sight, choosing lower-energy artwork, and dividing work from rest spaces as much as you're able. Cultivating this positive energy will nurture you, and provide better sleep and rest time.
Get some seating. When your friends come over, you don't want to have them sit on the floor! Buy a chair or two for you and your friends to sit in. Consider buying a beanbag chair. They're comfy and they look good in bedrooms. If you can't buy one, ask someone to sew you one. You could also buy a moon chair. They're also very comfy and give your room a modern look. Another good option is an ottoman, especially if it doubles as a storage space!
Making a Study Zone
Have a place to study. You're a teen, so the homework load is starting to increase, and you have exams to study for. Rather than studying in your kitchen, have a study space in your bedroom. Get a desk and a chair for you to sit in and do your homework.
Don't forget the lights. Have some good lighting in your room. Have a desk lamp so that you have good light when you're studying, but have some other cool lights too. You can buy lanterns, fairy lights, or lamps in different shapes, sizes, and colors to really make a statement in your room.
Personalizing Your Space
Make it personal. By now, your room looks great, but it probably looks more like a bedroom in a furniture showroom than your very own room. The simple answer to this problem is to personalize it! Buy a bulletin board to keep concert tickets, awards, special papers, pictures, and certificates on. Buy some picture frames and have pictures of you, your friends, your family, your boyfriend or girlfriend, etc. on your desk and walls. Put stuff in your bedroom that defines you and your personality! This will make your room more personal. Make sure you can always see a picture of your family. It's just nice to have. Don't be too exotic if you want your room to be elegant. Make sure you pick out bedding that doesn't have the whole rainbow and unicorns on it to. Stick to three colors. Blues and greens are good. So are light pinks, yellows, and dull reds. You don't want to get something you'll be bored with in a couple months.
Keep your room clean and tidy. This is very important. Do you want your friends to come over and think you're a slob? Not to mention you'll lose half your stuff! Use a hamper for clothes, cups and bins for school supplies, and shelves with cube bins for miscellaneous things. Make time for cleaning. Dust the table and other furniture, keep the window clean and try an clean the room at regular intervals. Make your room smell nice by using lavender or any other fragrance. Use air fresheners if you like. You could even light refreshing incense, candles etc.
