A. Work on this change one piece at a time.
Modern decor is about lines and shapes and simple arrangements.No fuffy stuff.
The colors are bold and simple but white always plays an important place in a modern room :

How should I decorate my bedroom?
Q. I'm a sixteen y/o girl :) I know for a fact that the walls will be hot pink & the trim will be white (the ceiling is also going to be white) I have hardwood floors in my room also, but I have no idea how I want to decorate it? my friends were suggesting pink ideas like my room being cheetah & pink, floral delicate pink, or rainbow. it's such a hard decision to make I don't know what to chose D: if you have any pictures or suggestions that'd be great! thanks!

A. Pink, white and cheetah are great together,

Vintage decoration ideas for a teen room?
Q. I'm re decorating my room in a vintage, yet teen way. Any ideas on things I can make or cheaply buy?
A. Hi - have a look on these sites to give you some ideas:
http://keyinteriorsbyshinay.blogspot.ie/2012/01/vintage-style-teen-girls-bedroom-ideas.html
http://pinterest.com/bplezlee/vintage-teen-girl-bedroom/
http://itswrittenonthewalls.blogspot.ie/2011/08/diy-wall-art-scrapbook-paper-styrofoam.html
To make some of the pictures above - all you need is some remnant pieces of fabric or, you could always use a pillowcase to match your bedding and buy say, a couple of canvasses and wrap the fabric around the canvass and just staple it to the back.
You might also like these wall decals that do not leave marks when taken off:
