Q. My dad seems to be oblivious to the fact that his girls are fully grown women! so we are now stuck with hot pink walls in the female suite of our family house. I will rather not paint over it (and hurt his feelings :) so I am looking for complementary colors and decorating ideas to mute out this bold color and ground the space. Any suggestions?
A. You can make your room quite modern and glamorous. White furniture or mirrored fronts on your wood pieces would look nice with a crystal chandelier Add some black and white artwork of Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe with a furry rug. Green is the complementary color to red and pink is just a tinted red. Use a soft green with whites for a fresh, vibrant, crisp look or muted soft greens such as celedon or sage for a calmer feel. Grass green is strong and Lime green is vibrant.
I would suggest choosing your bedding first and pull your palette from it. Or, decide on your artwork and build from there. Here is an example of pink incorporated in a Gauguin painting. Black will always ground a room.

How to make wallpaper less noticeable?
Q. Okay, so I want to redo my room this summer. There's just one problem. I hate my wallpaper. It's striped (like white and pale pink) It's not really bright or anything and I know I'm not going to be able to tear it down and paint my walls. So how do I make it less noticeable? What decorations or other things would help take the attention off the wallpaper? Also, any other decorating ideas for a teen girl's bedroom would be appreciated! I also need a variety of color schemes and themes! Thanks in advance.
A. if you can't remove the wallpaper, work with it. the hollywood regency look would work well with your wallpaper. it's all about mirrors, glass chandeliers and pink!i couldn't find just the right image, but this might be a start...
