Bedroom ideas for me?

Zbor.

I'm 16 (and a girl) and I need to think of how to have my room re-decorated. At the minute i've got white walls with a tacky green carpet. My parents are willing to get new paint/carpets/items etc. Basically I want it based on these things: Bob Marley, Jamaica, Rastafarians and sunsets/beaches etc. What Ideas have you got that I could use? Like what colour walls? should I get wooden floor for a more beachy effect? please help!!!!

Answer
California Kids make beautiful bedding and one particular pattern is called California Dreamin with surfboards and beachy design. You can get coordinated, hand painted drawer pulls to go with that bedding or to use alone. They come in many designs but the ones I am thinking of are the Maui Wowie Surf Board, Maui Wowie Shirt, or Maui Wowie Surf Van. These drawer pulls can also be used as curtain tie backs. They are a simple little touch that can give your room a neat look. Visit this website to see them.

i'm redoing my bedroom and i need ideas?

Haley

i'm 18, and i've had the same bedroom for almost 10 years. the walls are lime green, bright blue, and purple. its a decently sized room, and the carpet is an off white (with many stains...oops!). i have another room attatched to my bedroom (its over the garage) and i painted it a rich red color with zebra pattern painted on the cieling and parts of the wall, so i'm trying to avoid animal print and the color red. i just have absolutely noo idea how to decorate my bedroom. i want either a theme or a color scheme to go off of but i cant come up with anything. i'm not really 'girly' but i'm not a total tomboy either. also, i'm much more of an adult than a kid/teenager, so something more adult, yet, not boring, ya know? any suggestions?

Bedroom design?

guitar_her

I am thinking about redecorating my bedroom but I have no idea what I want to do. I am in high school so I want something fun and interesting but not over the top. I kind of like modern victorian style things and my intrests include music, writing, and reading, but if you have any other cool ideas I would love to see/hear about them-- pictures would be greatly appreciated!
When I said modern victorian, I meant the designs with the victorian patterns but with bright, bold colours and lines-- sorry if that confused anybody, I'm not very good with those kinds of words :)

Answer
A lot of neutral colors would be great like tan or brown or a very light shade of grey paint would be nice. Also, dark would flooring is very elegant and beautiful and it goes great with tan or brown walls. Warm colors like gold and brown really make a room inviting. Hope this helps!

Decorating bedroom ... ideas?

Mollie :)

Helloo.. I'm thinking of redecorating my bedroom, and I've been thinking that the floral/flock design wallcoverings have been coming into fashion recently. I went to a restraunt the other night, and they had purple flocked design wallpaper and it looked absolutely stunning. Then they had a musky purple/pink ceiling. Two of the walls were in flocked wallcovering, the other two were in white paint. It gave the room a gorgeous look and a romantic feel to it. The problem is, on the internet I can't find any purple flock in that design. I must of searched for hours. Anyway.. If you can find some, thanks.. also if you've got other ideas, they are appreciated (: xxx.

My ideas....
1. I just wanted to say, your idea sounds very beautiful.
2. My preferences in color are always changing. I might consider a black and white wallpaper because then you can throw in bright fun and beautiful punches of any desired color. For example, you might choose to use a purple comforter and some accesories now, and in a few months switch to lime green, or yellow or teal.

Purple bedding--http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10120337


3. It might be the wrong style, but adding a chair-rail or beadboarding along your walls, then the wall paper on the top section would look great. (You could even paint the beadboarding a color other than the standard white/wood tone....like black to match the wallpaper!)

Good luck, sounds like you're sure to have a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l room no matter what you choose to do.

Answer
If you want wall art that no one else has, you can check Kalaga's Artistically Stunning Wall Art. It offers exclusive items.One of the secrets designers use to create beautiful rooms is to choose a special piece of artwork as a focal point, and then use the colors from that art to accessorize the rest of the room. Making a vibrantly colored, hand-woven Kalaga wall hanging your focal point will provide you with a great palette of colors to create this effect.

How can I get a surfer style bedroom?

beautiful bedroom design ideas image

HollyPolly

I love brands like Fat Face, Billabong, Roxy etc. and the whole surfer look but I was wondering how to get that style in my bedroom? I've only got a tiny bedroom but I'm up for any suggestions - please add photos if you can.

Answer
I would definitely stay away from creating a too cheesy surfer room. For example, I was looking up some pictures for you and there were cheap grass skirts as the bedskirt for the bed and little tiny surfer lamps and stuffed monkeys and dolphins and stuff....cheesy. To make a gooood surfer room, I'd choose a bright color that you like for the walls or maybe two as in the picture provided below. The room below has lime green and orange but if you like other bright colors better, that'd be okay too. When you look for room examples like this, I always just use the picture as a shell and interchange my color preferences, etc. So paint the walls a bright color, I actually like the blue in the second picture provided for the walls. You'll want to keep white in your room too..the molding around the room, in the bedspread, maybe the bed frame, the dresser and anything you can really. Because you have a really bright wall, you need that white to offset it and make it more beachy and light. So chose your bedspread. There are plenty of bedspreads that are actually billabong and roxy beach spreads if you want that. You can also chose a hawaiian print theme, but I feel like that's borderline cheesy as well. If I were you, I would choose a full white bedspread in a light fabric. Choosing a completely white bedspread will also make the room and your bed feel and look bigger. It's really your preference though, as I know some people love the hawaiian print. I love the wicker in the first room provided. And I love how they painted it, but I also just love wicker plain. So if you're tight on cash or you just like the wicker not painted, just keep it like it is. Wicker just reminds me of outdoor furniture you'd have at a beach house though. I'm not sure what color your carpet is or if you have wood floors. It'd be ideal if you had wood flooring and then I'd add a straw beach mat as the rug at the foot of the bed or at the side of the bed, depending on the positioning of the bed. I'd get white lamps like the one in the first bedroom provided, the two inbetween the two beds on the nightstand. Again, I'm not sure how you are on money, but if you can afford it, I'd definitely splurge on a full sized surfboard to put somewhere in your room, behind a wicker chair or in a corner by itself. I'll provide a link to a cheaper board (in the world of surfboards it's considered very cheap.) I'd also get some beach themed decor. I like the word beach spelled out above the bed in the second picture. I also love the wood nightstand in the second bedroom, you can see the top slats of it, but I would paint it white. I was recently at Marshalls and they had extremely nice and sophisticated beach themed decor that could fill up probably two to three rooms. If you have a Marshalls by you, you should take a look there. Also, TJ Maxx. If not though, I'm sure you can find really cute beach stuff online. Even if you went to a craft store and bought a hurricane candle holder, a pillar candle, and sand and/or shells, that would be awesome to put on your nightstand. You could also buy a cheap starfish and shells online too to put around your room. The options are endless!! :) Here are all the links:

How to make a paramore themed bedroom?

Kel Lee

I really want to theme my room with paramore. Its kind of small, and i really want it to have that new york artists studio apartment bedroom feel. I cant paint my room dark colors, and any bright colors have to be approved by my landlord. Any ideas?

Answer
I love paramore too. I guess it depends on which cd cover you are wanting to channel to get the paramore feeling into your room. Personally my favorite is the All We Know is Falling cover - it is really beautiful. Then there is the graffiti black and red type design for the Riot cover or the neutrals with the butterfly for the Brand New Eyes cover.

If you want to somehow mix all three very different looks you could try something bold such as a "night sky blue" comforter with a red chair (All We Know) and black accents (All We Know and Riot). You could then mix in butterflies (Brand New Eyes) and graffiti (Riot) in your art work for example as well as of course pics of the band themselves. :)



Good luck with everything!

How Can I do an ocean theme master bedroom on a budget?

beautiful bedroom design ideas image

Forever Mi

We are planning on redesigning our master bedroom with an ocean/lake theme.
The walls for sure are going to be teal and white stripes with white trim.
We also plan on getting some shelves to put up, to put some little knik-knacks on.

The bed is oak and the bedding is navy on one side and baby blue on the other. We also have a black black-out curtain, so we can sleep in.

anything else we can do?

Answer
Wall murals are one of my favorite bedroom design ideas as it's a very inexpensive way to create your own fantasy island. You can find them as wide as 10.5 feet and 8 feet tall. Here's a couple links with teal colored water. Also consider smaller murals with portholes for windows or windows that look out onto water.

Another idea would be to hang a canopy over the bed made out of cotton duck or sail cloth. It could be attached to a wooden dowel and hung from the ceiling with rope. You may find a bargain this time of year on an outdoor canopy that can be hung in a wave like pattern, going from high to low to simulate sails or rolling waves.

If you have enough room why not use a beautiful outdoor lounge chair to go with your ocean theme. Think cruise ship luxury. Consignment shops may have some really cool old looking ones too for next to nothing.

Also, look for nautical lamps or light fixtures, again consignment shops are a great place to scout out bargains.

Does anyone have any tips for a new bedroom design?

Sarah Lee

So I'm changing up my room to be more of my personality and AGE. I'm 13 (don't worry, this is my mom's profile) and I had my room for my whole life. That means its all pink with disney princesses EVERYWHERE. I just want some tips on how to make it beautiful. Sorry, I can't post any pics, but I have one big window that's in the middle of my wall opposite of the door, my room is medium sized, I have one twin bed, I need a desk area thing for homework. I have a dresser with a TV on top of it, and a huge shelf with a lot of toys on it. My closet is a walk-in by the way.

Answer
I am trying to visualize your room. A window - no idea what size, a twin bed. Put your desk under the window. Position your bed on the wall to the right of the door - long side to the right wall and head board to the far wall. Place your dresser on the left wall. Find a way to hang the TV from the wall/ceiling opposite of your bed (door wall).
sort through your toys. You are probably too old for most of them. donate or if you can not part with them wrap them up and store them in the attic or basement. Paint your ceiling sky blue - add fluffy clouds if you or your Mom are a little bit artistic. Paint the bottom half of your walls lime green. Install a chair rail. If you like an ultra contemporary look install flat metal stock 1 1/2" to 2" wide. If you want a more traditional look install dark stained wood. Paint the upper portion your wall medium blue, hot pink, lavender, dark purple or soft yellow. Choose lamps and light fixtures to suit the feel of the room. If you are going contemporary use lots of shiny metal. Dress your bed with bedding that reflects the colors of your room. Add been bag chairs, sling chairs and fuzzy rugs. Lots of throw pillows on the bed. Use floating shelves on the walls for display. If you choose a contemporary theme then look for black and white architectural photographs framed in flat black or shiny metal.

Query teen room design. Keep in mind that you want to be happy with your room until you are old enough to get your own place. Think ahead. If you really plan your room and promise your Mom not to ask for another make over she will be more willing to fork over the $$ to re-do your room.

The secret is to plan. Make scale drawings. Collect color chips. Look for drapery and bedding. What room will you be happy living in for the next 5 to 10 years?

Good luck

How to design a beautiful teenage bedroom for a girl?

beautiful bedroom design ideas image

Fransisca

I am now 18, and I want a new bedroom.
Can somebody tell me how to design a beautiful teenage bedroom for a girl?

Answer
First, you have to decide what kind of themes you like. Think of something like; fresh, or beach, or gothic, or anything.

Then you can start to pick elements that represent it, such as: colour, materials, ornaments, etc.

Pick those elements that suits your needs and the themes. You can make a contrast by each of the elements, but you don't want to have more than 3.

Example: If you want your theme to be fresh, then you want to start gathering colour elements, you can have like pale blue, coral blue, and one as contrast of navy blue. But you don't want to add one more colour like pink, because it makes harder for those element to get united.

Take your time and start exploring your ideas.

What design ideas do you have for a woodsy log cabin feeling?

celinachan

What type of furniture and wood type? i like pine, and mahogany. what metals? color schemes or any other neat ideas for decor do you have?
what type of kitchenware? (pots,cups,dishes?) load me up with ideas or examples

Answer
Log furniture can do much to add a woodsy log cabin feeling. Cedar and aspen are the most beautiful types of wood as far as I'm concerned, and if you have logs with character they can really add a rustic feel. Red cedar is also very pretty, and adds a cedar scent to the cabin. As for decorating ideas, a log quilt rack adds a nice touch totjere a cabin bedroom, as well as a source of warmth in the snowy north.

There is some pretty neat furniture out there that features canoes, and would look nice in a cabin-type setting. Leather furniture also looks nice in rustic decor, as does knick-knacks and furnishings built around an animal theme. Some popular themes would be bears, moose, deer, or trout.

There are also some very beautiful patterns for couch covering that feature a woodsy look. You can also have bedspreads and curtains made out of those patterns.

Log home magazines are a great place to look for more ideas on log cabin decor. They have pictures of beautifully decorated rooms. I would look at those magazines, or some log cabin picture books, and make notes of what I liked about each room. Then I would look for those items on the Internet.

Looking for Celtic Inerior design tips and references =)?

Rose G

I'm completely remodeling my bedroom and love Celtic inspired art. I'm looking for a website(s) or books that can help me achieve a Celtic look without just throwing a bunch of Celtic stuff in the room and calling it good. I want it to look subtle and beautiful not cliché. I want it to look Celtic with out screaming I bought a bunch of Celtic looking stuff with Celtic designs all over it and threw it in the room. I have an idea of what I want it to end up looking like....very organic and earthy but looking for pictures of finished rooms to draw inspiration from. I have an iron poster bed with scroll work and leaves that I want to buy and become the center piece...sort of like the Tree of Life symbol but want ideas and color palette ideas to pull the room together. Thank you for any help or references you can think of to help me. Rose.

Answer
I would stick to the traditional colors of greens and golds. I would do walls in a warm honey color. Bedding in deep greens with celtic inspired throw pillows in green and gold. You can find beautiful pictures of Irish or Scottish castles. Or frame travel posters of the area you like. Maybe a few celtic crosses grouped together on a wall. I agree that you don't want your room to look like you just threw in a bunch of celtic junk. You might just want to add a greenman wall plaque instead of a picture if it is more the mysticism look you are wanting. Here are a few places you may find interesting pieces for your room.

Again, I'm not sure how you are on money, but if you can afford it, I'd definitely splurge on a full sized surfboard to put somewhere in your room, behind a wicker chair or in a corner by itself. I'll provide a link to a cheaper board (in the world of surfboards it's considered very cheap.) I'd also get some beach themed decor. I like the word beach spelled out above the bed in the second picture. I also love the wood nightstand in the second bedroom, you can see the top slats of it, but I would paint it white. I was recently at Marshalls and they had extremely nice and sophisticated beach themed decor that could fill up probably two to three rooms. If you have a Marshalls by you, you should take a look there. Also, TJ Maxx. If not though, I'm sure you can find really cute beach stuff online. Even if you went to a craft store and bought a hurricane candle holder, a pillar candle, and sand and/or shells, that would be awesome to put on your nightstand. You could also buy a cheap starfish and shells online too to put around your room. The options are endless!! :) Here are all the links:

How to make a paramore themed bedroom?

Kel Lee

I really want to theme my room with paramore. Its kind of small, and i really want it to have that new york artists studio apartment bedroom feel. I cant paint my room dark colors, and any bright colors have to be approved by my landlord. Any ideas?

Answer
I love paramore too. I guess it depends on which cd cover you are wanting to channel to get the paramore feeling into your room. Personally my favorite is the All We Know is Falling cover - it is really beautiful. Then there is the graffiti black and red type design for the Riot cover or the neutrals with the butterfly for the Brand New Eyes cover.

If you want to somehow mix all three very different looks you could try something bold such as a "night sky blue" comforter with a red chair (All We Know) and black accents (All We Know and Riot). You could then mix in butterflies (Brand New Eyes) and graffiti (Riot) in your art work for example as well as of course pics of the band themselves. :)



Good luck with everything!
