Q. hi. i am in charge of redecorating my teen daughters room and i have no idea where to begin. she wants a "bohmeian" style of bedroom (with colors like a deep purple and gold) with a canopy bed included. i cant seem to find anything she likes.. so if ya'll have any suggestions that would be great! thanks.
A. No offense meant to YOU, your TEEN, or any others who answer... INVOLVE her,,,,,in the process. It is afterall,,,,HER room,. and she may spend a lot of time there, savoring her OWN SPACE. MIld, Wild, Subtle, Animated, SHE is the one who will occupy it. A key phrase in your Q is,,,"I" can't seem to find anything SHE likes... Smiles,,, Get her into the process. It will also be another BONDING technique. AND BTW,,, tastes change as often as weather... The good news is,,, The room can evolve as well.
"Likes",,,is relative and suggestive, and again, no offense, but let her decortate, choose, those items she might already envision as "Bohemian" smiles. I'm largely directed, in many ways, by growing up through the 50's and 60's, and my tastes are eclectic, and may not be mainstream, BUT I am the one who has to live with my choices,,,even in decorating.
I suggest that the word BOHEMIAN doesn't strictly follow patterns or color choices, and perhaps she would be very ok with choosing the accessories and decorative touches.
I lived in the East Village,,,NYC through my 60's college years, pretty much as a Hippie. I had White walls in my tiny apt. but didn't focus on them, as much as how I wanted MY SPACE, to be very personal, and express my interests, etc. at the time.

Please help me with living room decorating ideas~~!?
Q. Me and my bf just moved in a 750 sf 1 bedroom apt. in NYC. Our living room is about 350 sf. We are going to separate it into 2 parts, because we want to put a bed in our living room. Is there good way to separate it without putting a temp. wall or a big shelf? Is there any website providing these ideas? thx for the help~!!!
A. A shoji screen in front of the bed would divide the space and look great.
