Design Junkies, get your right brains on — it’s time to click and create. This is a Prize Challenge and somebody’s going to win up to $350 worth of gorgeous, customized home textiles!

On the Web today with just a few clicks of the mouse, we have incredible design and decorating power to help us produce stylish, individualized spaces.

Case in point? RoomsByYou. It’s a cutting-edge site where you can create rooms full of customized home textiles, from over 90 designer collections of coordinated surface patterns.

Fashion your space, then the folks at RoomsByYou (right here in the San Francisco Bay Area) will print and manufacture your custom textiles on-demand in 14 days. Voila! Fresh and beautiful decor.

RoomsByYou is rolling out its service that it will eventually offer for all rooms in the house. Baby RoomsByYou launched in the fall and today with our Challenge we celebrate the launch of Teen RoomsByYou!

So wake up that groggy teen, text your grandson, email your niece — this Challenge is da bomb. (Or no teen in sight? No problem. Play along and create a room for a pretend teen.)

How to Play:

Have fun and customize one or two Teen rooms using RoomsByYou’s 3D Room Customizer. Before you start, take a look at this quick video tutorial. We are customizing teen rooms and this walks you through step by step how to customize a baby room — but the process is the same.

Ready to Customize? Start here.

1) Select a Teen Room style (Classic or Contemporary)
2) Click the blue button in the bottom right that reads “Click Here to Begin”
3) Follow the steps on the left, and customize your room. (And be sure to zoom out first so you can see the whole room.)

Stick within one designer collection, or be gutsy and try mixing products from different designers and collections. Be sure to paint the walls! Play with colors and patterns and customize as many products as you can:

• Bean Bags
• Curtain Panels
• Decorative Pillows
• Dog Beds
• Duvets
• Lamp Shades
• Pillow Shams
• Storage Bag
• Wall Art

When you’re done:

4) Save your room.
5) Share it (with yourself) by entering your email address in the share dialogue. (This is how you’ll get your finished room image that you’ll later upload to the Challenge.)
6) When you get the email from RoomsByYou, right-click on the image in the email, save it and make note of where. This is the image you’ll upload when you enter the Challenge.
7) Submit your Challenge entry here, where you’ll also describe to us why this would make great room decor for the teen in your life.

If you have any feedback on how to improve the features and functions of the RoomsByYou Customizer, share your feedback with RoomsByYou at this link.”

A few rules:

1. Absolutely have your teen jump in and help design the room if you like — but an adult 18+ must be the one actually entering the challenge by submitting the entries.
2. Enter up to two rooms.
3. Do not use the Pre-Customized Rooms in the TeenRooms Design Portfolio.
4. Employees of RoomsByYou, and of HomeWorkshop.com are not eligible.
