I need help designing my room!! Help?
car.Crash.
I'm 17, and I love vintage style rooms, but I can't quite figure out exactly what to do. My room is also very large and roomy so it's hard to balance things out. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!! :)
Answer
I'd start with beautiful vintage bedding. Choose a color from it for the walls and then slowly accessorize. Buy an old chair at a thrift shop and paint it. Make a small reading area in your room with the chair, magazines and table and lamp. Use lots of different fabrics and patterns. Vintage is NOT matchy-matchy. Hang a chandelier and use lots of lace!
