beautiful bedroom photos ideas image
Brenda
I recently painted my bedroom an "elephant skin" grey with a very dark purple as my accent wall. I need help deciding what color furniture would look best; My first two choices would be either black wood or white wood furniture but would the black furniture make the room too dark or would the white furniture stand out too much in the room? Please help!! All opinions and ideas are extremely appreciated! :)
Also, any suggestions for bed sheets and whatnot?
Thanks!!
Answer
White furniture would be too stark in contrast to the walls; however, I think furniture with a coffee or ebony finish would look great with dark gray and purple. Not convinced? Buy an accent table and bring it home to see how it looks. You can always return it if you don't like it.
For sheets and other soft furnishings, try Overstock.com which features beautiful items at discount prices with little to no shipping costs. Keep the color of your items in the same purple and gray colors but move up the scale to lighter shades of them. That will balance the other dark items in your room. And don't forget lighting. Pick up some gorgeous inexpensive lamps to lighten things up.
In general, when in doubt, look through photos of rooms in catalogs, magazines and online (HGTV.com has a ton of room photos) and when you see something you like, use the same color combinations and textures. Have fun with it!

Adding cute little touches to a teen bedroom.?
yo
I need help adding small touches to the decorations in my bedroom. I don't like candles very much. My room is bright blue, green, pink, and orange. I want decorations that aren't the common decorations you see in every other bedroom. Does anyone have ideas?
Thanks!

Get crafty.
Piece together plastic canvas in colors that go with your room... (or cover them in fabric) ....Then use cardstock from the scrapbook store to make your own photo frames to hang onto the wall.
Just use two pieces of plastic canvas. Cut out the middle of one then cover both with the same fabric. Insert a piece of cardstock to make your own custom funky picture frames.
You can fashion these anyway you wish... the possibilites are endless. Your friends will want some as soon as they see them.
Get creative.
You could also decoupage... This simply means you buy some decoupage glue.... put the glue down first... then add the paper you want.... let dry.
Come back later and cover with a couple more coats of the glue.
This gives a very cool look.
If you want to make the item look 'antique'.... simply rub it with a tea bag first.... let dry ...then add the first coat of glue. Add paper... rub with tea bag all over again. Then add the next coat of glue.
Find some funky boxes with lids. Shoe boxes would work fine. Cover in fabric and stack in a corner as high as you wish. This is a great storage option and will look pretty too. If you want to cover them with something that will wipe clean... use wall paper or vinyl that you cut off an old couch ... be a salvager. Look for free stuff that is being thrown away and make something beautiful out of it.
You could make funky decorative storage boxes ...or purses... out of cigar boxes. Some crafters sell cigar box purses for hundreds of dollars.
Check out the craft stores... hardware stores (especially the wood working section)... scrapbook stores... and antique malls for ideas. Don't forget Goodwill or the Salvation Army... Dollar Stores are great too.
