NEW YORK (ED) — Living with teens needn’t be a constant compromise between your good taste and their bad habits. The trick lies in controlling their havoc — and that means bedrooms that are raally private worlds, in which teenagers can do moat of their living, no matter how messy. Care-free housekeeping is a must, of course; cleaning up after a boy is part of being a parent, so make it as easy on yourself as you can. Begin your quick housekeeping regime with the focus of any wideawake bedroom: the bed. Today’s lively new linens arc wonderfully well-behaved — as easy to care for as they are to look at. The psychedelic colors so dear to teens are particularly practical in today’s Dacroncotton blends. The cloth takes

Since the bed is tha center of attention, use the linens as the basis of your pattern planning. The explosion of color on the bed works best when you repeat dominant hues on the walls and underfoot. Choosa cushions and curtains in matching solids — or do-it-yourself, with a staple gun, glue and sheets. The extra width of sheet fabric is a saving that makes the work worthwhile — and the fact that sheets are already henuned is an important timesaver. For formal occasions there’s nothing like a bedspread. WestPoint Pepperell repeats its bed linen prints on new sheetweight spreads. You'll find

them particularly handy for young rooms, where full-dress is an occasional event—a happy change from hard-to-store* heavyweight spreads. Weighty blankets don’t belong, either. For fashion with function, highlight the key color in a machine-washable Veilux blanket. It’s a featherlight polyurethane foam that’v no trouble at al! to handle in a home laundry. Nylon carpeting is a good idea, too. Cabin Crafts coordinates many of its colors with the other WestPoint Pepperell at-home fashions, so you can be sure of a go-together look. As for the boy in the room ... if a well-mannered hideaway doesn’t encourage him to mind his own manners, at least it will all be a lot easier on you, to look at and to live with.
