bedroom designs for girls 2011 image

katie

i am a girl, and in high school.
we are moving soon and i get a new room to decorate myself. :)
one color i know i want is hot pink, but i don't know what else.
so, i need colors that will go good with pink. (:
also, what types of furniture should i have?
the room is going to a lot bigger than my old room and i don't want it to look empty.
any other suggestions for designing a new room would be great! :D
also, where can i get some bedding? not little girl bedding but not adult bedding. teenage/college bedding.

Answer
I like hot pink with light pink, cream and brown. But it can work with lots of colors depending on your bedding and whether you want a calmer bedroom or a lively one. Yellow looks good with hot pink and so does lime green, orange or aqua. Buy comforter first then you can base all your accents...pillows, rugs, lamps, art, candles, etc. on that. Maybe something here will inspire you:

How to be a 50's teenage girl?

Chloe

Im 14 and a girl and i am SOOO in love with the 50's every single thing about it, to the black and white small tvs to the sock hops to the coca cola glass bottles and to the fridges to the old cars with wings and the clothes and hairstyles and EVERYTHING! I seriously wish i was born in the 50's!

The only problem is im korean and i don't see alot of pictures of asians in the 50's so im not exactly sure how good it would look on me. But
1.) How do i get anything 50's? I don't think we have lots of antique shops where i live, and most everything on the internet is too expensive,
2.) do you think they would have patterns for 50's dresses in stores still?
3.) what about any good 50's music besides elvis?
4.) how to make my room seem like im in the 50's
5.) what were some things teen girls did in the 50's for free time?

Anything else you would like to add would be wonderful! Like anything! I seriously really want to be a 50's girl. Thanks so much lovelies(: xx
