What are some cute ideas for my new apartment?

bedroom ideas for college girls image

Q. I'm going off to college this fall, and I'm living in a student housing type apartment. I'll be living with 3 other girls, but my own bedroom will be about 10x12. It already comes with a full size bed, armoire, desk, and nightstand. What are some themes and cute things I can do to decorate my room? Where would I find pictures of dorm-like examples?

Answer
HGTV always has great ideas and videos you can watch.
I like to decorate with fashion aswell as function in mind meaning that since your in school you can find ways that will be stylish aswell as helpful.

Throw some wall shelves and some memo boards in your place and it's a good way to display pics aswell as leave important notes that you might forget when walking out the door. If your thinking about color always go with the 60/30/10 rule..can't go wrong with that..and like i said HGTV.com you can dabble with 60/30/10 color schemes.

check it out and good luck.!

How to invite a girl over to apartment to hang out with nothing to do?

FSBB

I am a college sophomore. I live in a dorm room like everyone else, but at my school, sophomores live in apartment style dorms, meaning we have a kitchen, bedroom, and main room.

It has a lot of space, but no furniture or things to do. All the school provided in this dorm was a desk and a desk chair for each person. I did buy a futon, a TV, and a stool to sit on when eating at the countertop (we have no table or anywhere to eat).

I want to invite this girl I like over, but I don't know. There is literally nothing to do. I was thinking we could cook food together (always fun with me haha), but there's nowhere to sit and eat. Like I said, I have one stool for the countertop. Or we could sit on the futon in the main room and watch TV or music videos or something, but my roommate has no friends so he doesn't leave ever and there's nowhere for him to go. he would be in the room. And of course, the bedroom has no light and the Wifi sucks in there.....we literally just sleep in there.

What are your thoughts? Should I still invite her over? What ideas do you have?

Answer
Get some furniture if you expect her to ever want to do that...

Need Help Redecorating a Teen Room, Classy but Cute!?

bedroom designs for young adults girls image

vballdiva1

Hola!(possibly again)

I am redecorating my room this winter, pretty much as my Christmas present. Here is what i have so far:

*Like many others, my inspiration room is Miley Cyrus's bedroom. A link to a pic of it is as follows:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3071/2596126505_6822e49797.jpg?v=0
*However, I don't want my room to be an exact copy. I find that incredibly annoyiing
*The main things I like about this room is
1 The colors
2 The modern, funky design
3The big pieces of furniture, i.e. spacious bed, comfy sitting area
4The chandelier
5The style.... Classy, cute, modern, and very teen and young adult friendly. I definently don't want to have to redo my room in a few years

*However, i would like to add
1 More storage space
2 A desk to work at
3 Unique touches

Overall, i am asking for any ideas, or links to key pieces of furniture that i can't find. For example, i am having issues finding
1 A cute full size bed (black)
2 A bench to go under a window (black)
3 A 34" armoir (black)

Plz and thnx! I really appreciate any help you guys offer!!!

Planning room design- any advice helps?

Cristian C

Here is my plan/info on the following:

Current:

Size: bedroom is very small (don't know exact dimensions)
Paint Color: Baby Blue/Light/Lavender
Ceiling: Popcorn w/ a white fan (only light source in room), slanted angle, low
Furniture: White, contemporary, some light wood details
Bed: Grey, queen, some pillows
Window: White curtains, half way to floor
Floor: Dark, hard wood, brown-red-orange color

I want neutral colors/ideas. I am painting it tan/brown/light sand hopefully. Also changing the bedding to black/white look. No carpets or rugs. Any decor ideas: pillows, candles, mirrors, vases, etc. Low cost, keep in mind the room size, teen/young adult age, online or in-store is perfect. :) Thanks! Any advice helps!
Please no spam answers. :)

Answer
After reading your description my room is most likely the opposite to yours as I have no neutral colours and mine is very girly and bright. But here is a description of my room to maybe give you some ideas of what you could include.. or things you may like to do in order to change your room to the way you'd like it!

When I was 15 I went through the stage of completely re-designing my small four wall room and I'm so glad I did because I love my room! First I chose the theme I'd be going for which is really girly! So I painted three of my walls purple and added purple hearts as a border in the middle of each wall horizontally, and then one wall hot pink with black stencils ontop, it made my room so much more brighter! I then decorated most things in pink and purple to match the walls.. and having the furniture either white or silver to break away from all the colours. The paint was cheap for my walls, one large can of purple, one large can of hot pink and one small can of black. I got one of my family members to paint my walls and then my mother stenciled black patterns onto one of my walls so there was no cost in hiring a painter to paint my room!

I then bought new bed sheets and pillows in bright colours to make my room really bright and girly, and accessorised mainly in pink, purple and bright colours. Things like candles are cheap and look really good in your room, also a bonus that they smell really nice!

With your old furniture, you can still change it for a cheap price. What I did was kept my dressing table with the mirror attatched but simply removed the original knobs that were on each drawer and bought silver round knobs which matched my bed, that was a great idea to do instead of the ugly little girl floral knobs I had on it originally!

Accesories with picture frames of your heroes or singers/actors that you like, and a few with your friends of course! All you will be paying for is a new bed, paint, new bed sheets and pillows, few candles and picture frames and you should be set!

Here's some photos of my room for inspiration and ideas, enjoy!
