Q. I need some ideas on what colour to decorate my room with... I like pinks, reds and purples, I don't mind silver or blue either, just anything but brown, green, cream, black and grey. I am quite girly and like lots of art. I would like colours that are trendy and fashionable. Most of my furniture is wood (oak) and not very colourful. Please help!
A. I think hot pink and black is super stylish for a teen girl. If you grow out of things quick I would recommend maybe just a deep red accent wall. I have a blue accent wall and I use to love it but now I can't stand blue!!! :) I think black and pink is super Chic and not dull at all. Just FYI you do not want to go too dark becuase then you will have bad lighting when doing make-up / getting dressed.

Maybe even wall paper instead of paint... Something like this

What are some easy but cool ideas for decorating a bedroom?
Q. So I'm sitting here in my bedroom realizing it's the blandest thing on the planet. Does anybody have any ideas for personalizing a 16 year old girl's bedroom without it looking over crowded? Keeping in mind that I can't just up and paint it without facing the wrath of the parents.
A. Hanging a mirror will brighten your room and make it appear larger.

The best way to personalize a bedroom is to make a few of your own decorations,
photo collage of you and your friends/family, a memo board to hang above your desk, magazine collage with your interests, hobbies/sports, print and hang your favorite flowers in 5x7 frames.

I remember seeing on Extreme Home makeover, they made a log house (first log house made in the show) for a family, and they did a lot of modern furnishings "inside" the house. If you could find the site with that episode and see the finished product, that could also give you ideas.
