Okay. I have done my room at my mom's house, but I need to do my room at dad's. I am getting my step-mom's bedrooom suite and am keeping my entertainment system. The rest is out the door.
The room is currently blue with white clouds, royal blue carpet and brown curtains that don't reach the windows bottom. There isn't blinds, but there is shades that pull up. I don't have any bedding and no design ideas. The furniture is a light brown wood tone and is good condition. straight lines. please don't say websites. i want inspiration ideas not links. thanks so much. i need paint color fabrics, theme, decor and everything else. LOVEDS

You could do a sea theme. Either under the sea, with the walls being like coming up to the surface (like in the Little Mermaid or the Spongebob Movie), or a beach theme. You could also do island getaway (Lilo and Stitch)if you're into those bold colors. Curtains can always be changed. You can get some inexpensive panels from Walmart/Target/Kmart. Try the dollar store for your accessories. They have a lot of those kind of things. I'm not really sure how much you can spend, so this is the least expensive I can think of. You can keep the royal blue ocean floor. You can use different shades of blue for you bedding (stick with solids and throw a little sandy brown in there) and get some shells, sand in some glass votive holders(dollar store) or go island and get some hibiscus and luau type stuff. A good cheap way to get photos is priniting online or getting a calendar and cutting the pictures to fit.

Teen Girl Bedroom Decor Help??!!!?
Q. I have been trying to come up with some themes on the Internet, but I can't seem to find anything. What I want is, I would like to have a mature look, but also a creative look too. Any Ideas??
Answer
A few universal decorating tips for any age or style:
Include organizational and storage strategies...and keep things clean and tidy.
Include seating, workspace and accessories that go with the particular task, and appropriate lighting...and make them easy as possible to use.
Keep items in good repair, tables don't wobble, electronics that work.
When you want to work in a trend or experiment with a decor idea, do it in a small or temporary way.
Even on a budget, include one thing, even if it has to be a tiny thing, that is the very best out there. If it isn't a crystal chandelier, maybe it is a crystal figurine, or a single crystal hanging from the center of a bare window. You may not be able to surround yourself with big luxuries but you can sprinkle in small ones.
OK teen girl, usually that means you want color and some edge/funk, and most teen girls are on the run from the little girl look. You haven't given us enough detail about you, only enough to stuff you into the teen girl stereotype. But even when I was thinking about that, several stereotypes came to mind. Since I can't help you with details here are some more principles.
While you want the room to be yours now, remember you need to give it back to your parents soon. Maybe even before that, you want your options open to change with your different interests and tastes within the teen years.
What I would do is ask your parents what THEY want the room for when you are gone. Accept that you are just passing through, even that you may have changing tastes while you are there. If there is any remodeling going on, include that vision of the future room. They should be allowed to choose to add to the architecture of the space in a way that upgrades the value of the home, such as with moldings and built-ins. While they should be installed to meet your needs, they need to be versatile enough to meet theirs in the future. These decisions won't affect the look you want.
With paint, this is a place to go nuts and pick whatever you want, you can paint over it when the time comes. Don't forget different finishes of paint, like matte and gloss and semi gloss, you can do a really classy stripe with two finishes even if they are identical colors, very mature even in a hip or trendy color. OR you can do a mural or an abstract, or whatever suits you.
You can also do your own thing with accessories, such as bedding, slipcovering, throw pillows, table items, storage boxes.
As you decorate this time around, keep things simple so that you can stay versatile. With a simple inventory, that is fewer things, more basic patterns, less intricate solutions, you can come up with a few different ways to rearrange the space and repurpose your items...this will help get you through your teen years without looking at the same old stuff in the same old place.
