Soooo I'm staring to feel like I'm a little old for my room I'm 14, my room is baby blue n white what can I do to remodel it into like an older girls room without re-painting it any ideas? like what colors would match the baby blue n white, what color courtines can I buy thanks?
Answer
The baby blue will work as long as you add teenage touches to your bedroom. Blue is relaxing, so unless you love wild prints and color combinations, try to make the bedroom serene. Try to run with your style. If you love vintage style or classic combos, try an iron bed, an elaborate mirror and antique-looking side tables. If you love to mix colors and patterns, add color pops of fushia and orange. Look online and see if you can find fun decals to spruce up your bedroom. Blue lends itself well to romantic or floral styles, so if you go in a dark wood, frilly off-white pillow direction, it will make it look like the pale blue is intentional with out being baby-ish. If none of the above are somewhat like your style, check out this website: http://www.designswan.com/archives/25-beautiful-and-charming-bedroom-design-for-teenage-girls.html

ideas for a teens nature themed room?
Stacy
my teen daughter wants to have her room put into a "nature" or rainforest like theme. any suggestions on what i could put in her room? give me your decoration ideas!
Answer
It will all depend on your budget.
Say you only want to spend 50-200$. I suggest using paint on the walls to design a look of trees and flowers and wildlife hidden around the room. For example http://www.paigestudio.com/albums/album34/Rainforest_Bedroom_Walls_and_Ceilings.jpg After you've seen the link you can spot there are lots of tiny details in that painting for the room. It can be done a lot more simple. But I don't suggest you go so simple as this link, http://www.paintcharming.com/images/rainforest3_large.jpg While the trees are cute the background is empty and the trees hurt it more than anything. You don't have to be an artist to paint a beautiful room! There are all sorts of designs and stencils out there! Look online and shop at your local Crafts store for help. With just painting the room, you can paint any bookcases, desks or the like in simple greens or browns.
But if you have a bigger budget, I think after painting the room replace any window curtains or valences with a nice bamboo fabric curtains. You can even replace the shades with wood/bamboo shades bought at home depot. Buy some nice ivy, Not talking about the twiggy stuff you may see in walmart but that has thickness besides the strand of plastic. Now if you are going with the cheaper route you can STILL achieve those. Head to your nearest store that sells beach stuff, and find a tatami beach mat. http://www.amazuluinc.com/images/180-weave-mat-tatami-mat-201.jpg It doesn't have to be as nice as this one but thats just to give you an idea. Ive purchased several for less than 5 dollars. Hang it up with a couple of tacks where the curtains used to be, and if you buy lots and lots I'll forgive you for using the cheap ivy from walmart or wherever you like to buy that. A few pieces of that doesn't look good just in one spot. Don't use it sparingly and drape it around the 'trees' you paints, a section over the curtain and trailing down ONE side. Put it on desks, and add beautiful fake exotic flowers to match the walls!
Are your creative juices flowing yet? No? Yes? Well how bout this... Purchase a bug netting with a circle that you can hang into the ceiling. I'm not sure what the circles are called but it allows the bug netting to expand more. If your daughter has a TALL 4 post bed then just tacking the center securely into the ceiling and draping it over the posts to where is can touch the ground is Ideal. Sounds like a lot of work but it will let your teen feel like a little princess again. Bug nets if you don't know are used when you go to sleep and cover to the floor so you don't get little surprises while sleeping. http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/5/24/central/m_38sekeping2.jpg
If your girl loves butterflies string some with fishing line and attach them to the ceiling in a specific corner. Add some on the pretty painted wall flowers too! The ceiling should you choose to paint the whole room would be a great place to recreate the stars in the sky in her own room.
Spending even more money??
Buy a bedspread that is super simple and in a soft brown color. Down comforters are wondrous!. Match all the linens as well. Very adult looking and will get use a LOT longer than a rainforest print. Specially when the room changes to something else.
MORE MONEY?
Replace any open book shelves unless they are being used for her teenage book collection. Any other books can be donated, traded in or even stored. The new shelving can be cabinets! Let her hide her stuff away. Cabinet and drawers combos work really nice. A simple in design vanity can really make her feel more adult just like the new bedding. I wouldn't buy something ornate with designs as it wouldnt match the room and when she moves out some day if she takes it with her it will be easier to match her own stuff with.
I don't suggest anything generic like leopard print for anything unless its like cozy slippers. Leopard print can be a phase with some people, and some people find it tacky. Either way its hard to match leopard prints. Sometimes the colors are off when you find something awesome and new at a different store or maybe at a garage sale. Or the spots are too small or ect. Its best to keep prints in general at a minimum.
If a SMALL pet would be okay, there are beautiful little lizards or frogs you can get that will be a freakin neat touch. Even turtles can be cool when going with themes.
I think it would be a really fun family event to paint the room after you have traced a design or stencil on the walls. Be sure and take your daughter when you go shopping for some of the little extra touches BUT dont ruin it mom! Make sure when you get to unveil the new room maybe she didn't know about the butterflies floating around over by the air vent that flutter, or the comfy new linens or the surprise of when she turns her lights off to go to bed and sees the sky above her.
