Answer
Do realize that in bedroom décor worlds, like spread and accessories, this year's teal, aqua, etc.. ma not match or coordinate with next year's shades or hues. This is all the more important if you are purchasing things on sale, typically slightly older merchandise, and hope to finish up later.
When pre-teen and teen types ask for bedroom décor ideas, I like to suggest that they look around but then save some of their budget for DYI equipment, tools, and supplies. For example, once you've seen some of the magazine holders available for sale it doesn't take too long to see that the shape can be easily cut out of a cereal box with an exacto or utility knife using a metal edged ruler for a straight edge. From there, the box can be covered in anything ranging from brown mailing or printed gift wrap paper, paint, or cloth. In fact, when you look at the décor magazine holders in the $20 or higher range, you will find that many are basically a covered, cardboard box. The cost of the equipment, tools, and supplies for the first constructed holder can often be no more expensive than the cost of one purchased holder from the décor storage department; the cost of additional constructed holders then goes down depending upon the supplies chosen. And, thrift stores like Goodwill are great places for finding low-cost supplies and materials; look through the linens and curtain departments but, even the cloth cut from an old formal often works well for smaller projects.
This said, lace appears to be quite popular in the clothing world and, gaining in the décor world. Spray adhesive, a glue gun, some scissors, and old lace or netting can be used in all sorts of ways. Consider covering your lamp shade, trash can, or book ends with some lace or netting cut from purchased yardage, remnants, or out of something de-constructed from the thrift store. Make gathered ruffles of the same and attach using a glue gun or thread and needle. You can also use the same to make painted designs on items; tack the lace on the item then paint to leave the lace pattern in the underlying color.
If you truly want to save some money, learn how to paint furniture, accessories, and things like picture frames. This will require some tools, equipment, and skill building. A sewing machine is also another investment that can return untold dollars when talking about room décor projects.
Learning some of these types of DYI skills, how to think out of the box, how to duplicate and/or improve on what you've seen on the store shelf or showroom floor, and getting a basic collection of equipment, tools, and supplies can give you a whole life time's worth of savings too.

Ideas for teen girl bedroom????
Someone
Hey, I am a fifteen year old teen that just re-did her bedroom. It is painted turquoise and has red and white accents all around the room. I really like the idea of my room. Only half of my room is really bare. For instance, on one half i have my bed, my red nightstand, and three wall shelves. On the other half i have a big black and white picture of NYC and black and white pics of friends. no furniture or anything. I though it would be cool to have a big red comfy chair, or a black pub set. Tell me any ideas you have...
-->Thanks in advance
Answer
Well i think the red sofa is a great idea for sleepovers or just hang out time with friends. especially if you have a TV in your room. but if the artwork is black and white i suggest a big black and white abstract or maybe a big painting by Monet. but i think with what you've described it to be, abstract would be perfect (:
LOTS OF LOVE, Alex
Girly girl rooms from scratch:
well if she is a girly girl i suggest doing like a purple or pink bedroom with lots of colors. like oranges and yellows, greens and definitively pink. but also to paint the walls with big polka dots are always good. so here is an idea. paint all the walls purple, more dark than light, and do big polka dots in the colors of orange, hot pink, blue, yellow, and green. and its always nice to have a double sized bed for sleepovers, and low to the ground so its stylish and different, i mean like no box spring. and i hope there are lots of windows, at least two or a big one. so that the room gets lit. so it makes things flow better and more happy. and for decorations you might want to have some type of lights like a stran of little lanterns across the room. i hope you like my idea! <3
