Q. My roommate just broke up with his girlfriend and he doesn't want that room anymore. So I just got the master bedroom. I have a cherry wood sleigh bed and matching dresser. Besides that, I don't have anything else. Could you help give me ideas on how I could make it an inviting place for guests who might be in it.
A. U'r furniture sounds nice. I'm impressed. So what do u like? What is u'r style? Do u want it 2 represent u when u walk in or 2 impress someone else?
B/c I know guys like guitars/sports/women etc but if u'r trying to b more "classy" than that...
what about stripes? Navy & tan/creme. OR navy on the bttm. part about 1/4 or 1/2 up then a tan or creme. Then do u'r covers etc in accents of navy/maroon & tans.. that would look sharp.
If u like a little contemporary... then paint diamonds in the middle in the maroon OR find a border that is simple design in or close to those colors. Or molding & stain it cherry to match u'r furniture.
U could even lean towards navy & grey/silver grey but the tan would warm it up more.
Put cushions on the floor, pillows on the bed, use frames of u'r friends or a pitcular art that u like. U could do them in black n white print w/ either maroon frames or navy frames. U can p/u lots of this stuff at thrift stores.. garage sales.. Big Lots... Walmart...
Get some lamps & re-paint them.. Fabric glue on the shade w/ fabric or hangin lamps & re-paint them as well.
Be creative! Have fun!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to decorate a 21 year old females bedroom?
Q. I love bright colors but I also love black and white. I like unusual things. I also love vintage style things, victorian, gothic.. I just really want my room to be unique and something that I won't get bored with. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it!!
A. I think that you should use your favorite color(s), just two or three that blend in or contrast well. Let's say, if you did it with black and white, then you could do stripes. Maybe...if you chose cherry red, ivory and pure white then you could have red circles with white outlines and ivory just splattered on the wall. Or if you have for instance, green and brown and blue, you could make it polka-dot. Sometimes the messy shed-like texture works well with blending colors, which is just getting a big paint and dipping a paintbrush and flicking paint on the wall - e.g. light green and different colors, paint it the green first then flick some different but blending in colors to make it look like a meadow of flowers. Or you could use a sponge; paint the room sky-blue then use the sponge, just dab it in the shape of clouds, and you could draw little people in hot-air balloons, planes, and monkeys, rabbits or kittens on a cloud. Maybe you could try use a thin paintbrush and paint the walls midnight-navy first, then draw stars, and draw little children riding on the stars. With either of these themes you could find furniture that matches. You could try paint the bottom half of each wall with oceanic blue, and the top you could paint it sandy yellow, then draw shells and seaweed and blocks of wood, You''l have to use a thin paintbursh and try hard with it. Outline everything on the sand for a better effect.
Going back to the part about black and white walls, you could have vintage furniture, or wooden furniture, or anything that is coffee colour, brown or milky brown. On the walls you could have vintage or wooden frames for pictures. Don't worry too much about curtains - make it something different from the whole theme, but not too different that it'd stand out. Right now I have been explaining how brown and wooden and vintage furniture can blend well with black and white, so maybe you could make the curatins beige. It will be different from the furniture and walls but it still contrasts well with black and white, don't you think?
For the cherry-red theme you could have coffee furniture. I tell you now, this looks GREAT and it'll make your room nice and plesant. For the walls, if you want to add photos you could have black plain frames, and as for the curtains you could have those curtains that are white and have cherries on them. Or any other fruit or thing that is quite a similar color to your cherry-red color.
With the meadow theme, you should have ivory and white furniture. Do you know what iFoam is? It's gooey liquid with beads in assorted colors that you can make anything with. They dry fast and are easy to use, so you could get a plain frame for your pictures and cover it with a blending color. It'll look really good. As for the curtains, not much thought is required, just use white, yellow or sunny green.
If you're going to do the sky theme, have furniture darker blue, navy and white.Have more of the blue than the white. For frames make it simply clear, if not white. The curtain should be white, blue or like the cherry ones, a curtain that is white with a pattern that is blue on it.
The star theme I think should require light brown furniture, or wood, or grey. For picture frames it should be clear, if not white - but I would recommend clear more. The curtain, I think, could be grey.
What with the beach theme and all, this one supposes that beige furniture would be looking good. For frames, I suggest making a unique touch that you think would blend - e.g. get a plain frame and cover it with a blending fabric you like, or paint it a nice contrasting color, or add relevant stickers for a cute touch. The curtains should be looking good if it were to be peachy yellow.
I hope this has helped you in some way. If you didn't like any of my suggestions, I hope you use it in such way as a reference.

I want my bedroom to look emo without painting it. Do you have any ideas?
Q. Im emo and I really want my room to look emo but I don`t have time to paint it or buy stuff.
Oh fuck you! I don`t cut! I am emo but I don`t cut!

A. furniture- look for black, expresso(dark brown), and cherry(brown with a red tint to it) colored wood looks realy nice, or you could repurpose your old furniture and paint it black (if you can't paint furniture, look for black accent pieces, like vases, picture frames, lamps, etc. in black)
bedding-look for bedding in nice black and white patterns, or go for a solid black and accent the bed with gray and white pillows; or look for bedding in your favorite color.
walls-for your walls you could make a collage using your favorite bands, song lyrics, shoes, stores, etc. Another idea for your walls is to make a chalkboard (chalkboard how to: http://www.bhg.com/decorating/paint/projects/chalk-it-up/ ). Another idea would be to get custom vinyl stickers made at a graphics or sign making shop (for example, my friend's little sister has an emo room; and she had kept her walls white and had black vinyl butterflies made and a quote that stated: "Till Death Do We Rock" in black and "Paint It Black" in black. Her fav band is MCR and she also had a custom sticker made relatting to the band). You can also get your fav "emo" pictures blown up and them put on your walls.
accesorries: have your accessories such as:lamps, mirrors, pictures, hand held phones, candles, pillows, picture frames, etc. be in black and your favorite color or colors. Also display your favorite "emo" books on your bedside table. Also nicely place your cd's, jewlery (wristbands and such) around your room for a nice personal touch.
hope this gives a few ideas to roll with...have fun and good luck :)
