bedroom decor for teenage girls image
Tammy
My daughter just moved out of the house and her bedroom will now be used as a guest room. It was recently painted so we really don't want to paint it again but there are 2 walls that are chocolate brown and 2 wall are hot pink. The headboard of the bed and nightstand are white. How can I decorate this room without it feeling like a teenage girl's room?
Answer
Oh gosh...I don't usually kind of insist on painting if you don't want to, but I'm hoping I can talk you into painting the 2 pink walls, cause frankly, the pink walls & white furniture will be hard to overcome as an adult room. The white furniture we can work with. So we have to have a bedding set for inspiration. I found this one that has a white background to pull in the white furniture & overall lighten the room:

The chocolate is in there & the print is a modern stylized Jacobean print. Soooooo...would you be willing to paint those 2 pink walls the rusty red in this bedding??? Take a sham to Sherwin Williams & also the name/number of the current pink (or a good picture of it). They will help you choose the best method of covering the pink with the red. Also, to make the room look bigger & sophisticated, paint the ceiling the color of the tan in the draperies & bedding. Again, SW can help you with this.
This is another choice you might like - just follow my same principles:

Do you have a ceiling fixture in the room??? Do you have nightstands??? (I hope so) Consider using a pair of these over the nightstands:

And this as your ceiling fixture:

Lastly...wall decor. Use a LARGE print for impact like this:

The larger & fewer the accessories the better.

It's the Spa Blue one and is a teenage girl's bedroom. Thanks!
Answer
Contemporary or Modern.
I love that this set has a very clean feel to it and the ruffle detailing is great.
I would suggest going for some darker accents in the room to add contrast to the bedding. You could do some really dark navy blue, if you wanted to stick with blues. Or for a more classic approach, chocolate brown or black.
If you want the room to have a bright fun feel, incorporating some lime green or dark purple would also work well.
Have fun! :)
