What Would Be A Cool Bedroom Theme For An 12 Year Old Boy?

Adam G

Answer
When decorating a teen boy's bedroom the decor you decide upon will depend on the teen in question. But there are a number of different ideas that you can explore and these bedroom decorating ideas for a teenage boys space will hopefully produce a room that they will enjoy.

Color

It is a good idea to paint the walls of your teen's room in deep or vibrant colours (such as purple or blue) and then use lighter coloured furniture which will provide accent to the walls.

Wall Art and Shelving

Normally the wall art you should be looking for to decorate a teen boy's room is murals with a sports theme or motor sport theme. Look at very modern shelving in order to display any trophies that they may have on them.

Bedding
When choosing the bedding for your teen boys bedroom is to go with the flow and use that which links in to the overall theme of the room.

For example if you teens room is based on a surf theme then you could paint the walls in an ocean blue colour and then cover them with surf and surfer murals. There are plenty of places where you can purchase bedding that will perfectly match the theme that they have.

Or why not go for a solid colour theme to the room and use other colours in small amounts which will enhance the overall design of the room.

Study Area

When decorating your teen's bedroom include an area for them to study. Each teen will have a different way in which they study and there are many types of different tables available which will suit your particular teens study needs.

Lastly but by no means least, when you are looking at bedroom decorating ideas for teenage boys then you should wherever possible involve them in the whole process. You should allow them to have a say as to what colours, theme and designs they want included in the decorating as well as what kind of furniture they would like to have.

I hope this was of some help!
Good Luck, ;-)

Does my bedroom decor have to match my bathroom?

bedroom decor blue walls image

Blue987

In my new apartment the bathroom is connected/inside the bedroom. The bathroom colors are dark brown and blue.

My bedroom walls are a dark beige. Do I have to stick with the same color scheme as the bathroom (since it is attached) for the bedding also?

Or could I use red or another color in the bedroom?

Thanks!

Answer
it all depends on what you like

but sometimes contrast is good, if you make your washroom a little brighter and contrasting it will give you a good feeling every time you go in.
If you just made them the same color, it would just be a boring feeling when you enter because you would be used to the colors in the room and would feel no change while entering the washroom.

What's a good color to use for a window scarf?

Dela

My bedroom walls are white(it's an apt so I can't paint them :( and my quilt is green(like sage green) and so are my pillow shams, and window sheer panels, and I want to add a window scarf of a different color in order to bring a little more life to the room so, what color would go with the green I already have on my sheer panels? Oh...I almost forgot to mention that my sheets are ivory, and that I prefer more pastel colors as opposed to dark ones. Any decorators around? or anyone got suggestions? Thanx.

Answer
choose a sheer window scarf with a texture or embroidery on them... it will add interest on your windows... you either can go with the rosy and peachy tones or the blue and lavender tones close to the ones you've got in your quilt which goes well with the sage green and ivory. Since you can't paint your walls invest in wall decor and maybe add a different headboard that will give you the look of cottage or beach house.

What color should i choose for my bedroom?

kids bedroom decorating tips image

Wise_Girl

It is a 10.82 m2 bedroom,
all my things are wooden and the room has two windows but is not very well lighted.
I love purple and pink but not pale ones...Does it become too dark if i paint it dark purple or pink?
i also like using combinations of different colors do you have any suggestion?

Answer
Hello, as co-owner of http://www.decorating-kids-rooms.net I get a lot of questions re: colors to paint a room - it has been my experience that yes, you should go with colors you like but to be selective with how dark you go. I would recommend going lighter instead of darker on your walls especially if your bedroom is small and not very well lit.

That said, you don't have to go really pale either. What about one dark pink or dark purple wall and then paint the rest of your walls in a lighter shade of either pink or purple? You can then bring in more dark shades of pink and purple through the use of carefully selected fabrics and accessories like a comforter, window treatments, throw cushions, lampshades, area rugs etc.

Hot pink and vibrant violet also go nice with bold orange and bright yellow. What about a room with a retro 'flower power' motif?

What are some calming, cheap bedroom decorating ideas?

annie

I am moving soon, and my room will be somewhat small. I have a queen size bed and I am wanting to do something cheap but sensual to it? any ideas? red is kinda my theme but i dont plan to paint the walls (they are white). any tips??

Answer
Use throw pillows to decorate your bed...the more pillows the better. Get all shapes and sizes. It creates an illusion that will make you want to fall into the middle of them...as if you were a little kid. Its a very comforting thought, sort of like a big hug. I rather enjoy it. Of course if you are married or living with a significant other then "HE" may not go for that as it will seem too girlie or childish to a guy. But hey if its your room...dazzle yourself. Be creative. Buy a few multicolored light bulbs to put in your lamps. Cover the lamp shades with scarves to emit a softer light. You can have all sorts of fun with that. Good luck.

Room decorating ideas?

bailey

I am a fifteen year old girl and I am painting my room and getting some new things for it (bed sheets, curtains, etc.) and I have no idea what i should do with it. I would like for it to be brightly coloured and random and look like a teenaged girls bedroom. Any ideas for what I should do?
I like animal prints, like leopard and zebra, and different floral prints aswell.

Answer
Paint your room your favorite color (for example mine is purple, blue so i would paint my room either baby blue or lavender).
This is a really cool room

http://www.decor-medley.com/image-files/teen-bedroom-decor-girls-bedroom-rockstar.jpg

if you want yours similar to that then paint your room 5 different colors (wall 1, wall 2,wall 3, wall 4, ceiling) Just make sure the color kinda matches.
Try to get those foam letters for walls and spell out your name and then stick it on top of your bed.

Since you like animal prints, floral prints then get bed sheets like these

or
http://www.pbteen.com/products/wailua-floral-organic-twin-xl-sheet-set/?pkey=cgirls-twinxl-sheets-sets

Also get those decorative pillows, lava lamps, and a cute floral/animal print table lamp for your table where you do your homework.

For your walls

http://www.pbteen.com/products/sign-it-frame/?pkey=cphoto-frames-mirrors

http://www.pbteen.com/products/hang-a-round-mirror/?pkey=cphoto-frames-mirrors

Also try to put up some posters on your wall (such as a favorite singer, flowers or anything)

here is a storage box for your pens, pencils, markers, etc.

Look for cute jewelry/make-up boxes at pbteen.com

pbteen has colorful rugs and window accessories for a girl's room.

There are so many things you can do to decorate you room. Just be creative.

Room theme ideas for a 13 year old girl?

nature themed girls room image

{[Blond

I would like something that is not ordanary, and not something you would see everyday.

Also something that I could have for about 4 years. and not get bored of it. I like bright colors, and colors that make me happy. but i dont want like, everything pink. If you know what ii mean...

Thankss!
And the thing is, is that were moving so it can really change.

Answer
Pink walls, black & white accents for a Parisienne flair if she is on the dramatic side...you could use Eiffle towers, pink poodles in berets, etc.

If she is more bohemian in style, a Middle-Eastern flair would be neat, I am envisioning turquoise satins, browns, & golds...use sari fabric as dramatic window scarves...accesorize with cultural/travel related goodies

If she is studious...ask her either her desired college, using school colors on opposite walls, using school themed accessories, maybe even a dorm fridge & small tv for her future dorm!

If she is of a romantic nature, a tuscan themed room with ornate tapestry bedspread, taup-ish textured walls would be her dream!

If she like sports...go that direction....best idea yet, ask her what she likes & design as a team! Ask her fave color, etc....it would be a GREAT bonding time!

In decorating, who decides whats IN and whats OUT?

Yarnlady_n

One year bright colored walls are OK, now not, formerly, big bulky furniture, now small compact.

Answer
The manufacturers always have a lot to say about what is being made, in a very real way. They are looking for innovative ways to keep new products on the market that are accessible for the public to buy, as well as products they can make at a profit. Manufacturers also always want to keep new looks out there, pushing trendy items so that people who want to stay on top of these trends will be buying them.

As far as decor, anything can influence trends.

Since 9/11 happened, there has been a lot more patriotic themed stuff out there: Americana furniture, red-white-and-blue, eagles, flags, military inspired clothing, etc.

When there is an advancement in some area of the world, such as a new bridge, a cultural venue such as a museum or convention center, or a booming tourist economy, or a new vehicle or boat comes out that gets you to more remote places, people tend to travel there and then get inspired to decorate their homes that way. SO trends like bringing the outdoors in...cottage, beach, tropical, rustic, coastal, lighthouses, mountains, gardens, etc start to emerge out of peoples' vacations, in terms of colors and themes, and regional styles. Of course the high rollers are the ones who start these trends, and the rest of us buy the lower cost items that reflect the trend. I can't afford a Humvee but if I am redecorating my living room, I may be able to leave some beams exposed ala ski chalet, which resembles the resort that the guy with the Humvee went to.

Environmental concerns have also raised our interest in outdoor/nature themes and colors in our lives. And building styles become cool, that may not have been in the past...such as lots of windows, or a roofline that accomodates solar panels, or found materials such as recycled timber for a cabin, or earth and stone which inspire us to build mission, spanish, mediterranean style homes...these homes become cool-looking because there is a push to build things in a certain way in response to environmental concerns.

Pop culture always has a hand in trends. The newest cartoon ends up on your kids' bedsheets. The recent fantasy/action movies like Lord of the Rings may make us think about more medieval decor, as well as fantasy creatures etc. A new Enya CD may inspire us to go green and celtic decor. The new space movie will get us thinking about sleek and modern looking items. Gwen Stefani got every teenage girl in the country into track pants and sports bras. Entertainment trends are often the result of new ways of MAKING the entertainment, such as the special effects technology that gives us Quidditch and puts us in a wizardy, sporty frame of mind. OR the computer program that allowed battle scenes to be done in Lord of the Rings, and then Troy, and then Narnia...this technology made those movies possible and brought out whatever themes into our homes.

Generally, trends in homes, vehicles, clothing follow each other. If red is the hot color it will be everywhere. Remember FOREST green? That color was plastered EVERYWHERE!

please give me a list of:
what clothes i have to take

Answer
If you're going to the Caribbean take at least 2 swimming suits. It's quite humid there and a suit will not dry overnight. Alternate your suits. Wear comfortable shoes, you walk quite a bit in port and the ship is very long from front to back so you walk a lot there, too. If you think you might need a tylenol/advil,band aid, digestive aids,feminine products, take your own along. They sell them in the gift shop, but they're outrageously priced. Same goes for your favorite candy or snack. You do not need to pack either bath or beach towels. They are supplied fresh daily for you.

Sunscreen is the most important item. The sun in the Caribbean is soooo powerful. Put it on at least 1/2 hour before you go into the sun. It takes that long for it to absorb into the skin and be effective. Many people, including me burn in less time than that.

Bring shorts and tops. Cute sundresses work well. Try to bring bottoms that match with more than one top. This will save space in your suitcase. Also, limit the number of shoes, if you're flying into your embarkation port, they're probably the heaviest items you have. Full sized shampoo, conditioner etc. are also too heavy. Get some travel sized bottles and jars and then fill them with your favorite products. I also took a 14 day cruise and hotel stays on both ends. I didn't finish my 100ml shampoo or conditioner. I had plenty. You may want to pack a hair dryer if your hair is especially long or thick. They do have hair dryers in every room but to my taste, they are really underpowered and take a long time to dry wet hair. I'm guessing that you are from the UK. If so, then you'll need an electrical adaptor so you can convert to US plugs.

PS. I have met so many kind, friendly people from the UK, Canada and around the world on my cruises. This is one of the best parts of cruising

Wishing you fair winds and following seas. (Smooth sailing)

What should I put in my suitcase [for teenage girls]?

Mount Ever

Never been abroad before , going to Germany for 5 days in summer holidays

What should I pack?

Answer
Having been abroad an awful lot i know about the dangers of over packing :P Don't pack an outfit for each day, you honestly won't wear them all. Think about what you wear day to day and how you can adapt that, here's a list,

1. 2 pairs of jeans (as long as they are clean they can be re-worn)
2. 3 t-shirts
3. 1 or 2 hoodies
4. 2 pairs of shoes at most, you will have a third from what you are traveling in.
5. If it could be cold then pack a small jacket (water proof helps in Europe, i live in the UK and it gets really rainy)
6. 5 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of underwear, 3 bras
7. Optional - A skirt or shorts since it will be summer, maybe a bikini if you plan to go to the beach.

Extras -
Don't buy travel sizes, they are a waste of money. If you want travel sized you can get empty bottles to fill with all the products you usually use.

1. Shampoo and conditioner, it helps if you get a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner to save space
2. Toothbrush and toothpaste
3. Shower gel or soap (soap saves more room)
4. Shavers/shaving gel or cream, if you use them
5. Deodorant, stick form saves space
6. Makeup, you can get foundations which have SPF so can act as a sun cream (only use if you won't be exposed to much sun), only take basics - Foundation, concealer, power, small eyeshadow pallet, mascara.
7. Sun cream, get a SPF that is according to the country your going to

Extras -

1. Any accessories you may want to wear, again the size is key. Don't bring lots, bring one or two pieces that can be mixed and matched for different outfits.
2. Books
3. Ipod or MP3 player (pack in carry on luggage)
4. Any medication you take.
5. Phone
6. Obviously your passport and tickets, any information you need for when you land, before you take off or when you arrive at your resort

Ideas for horse themed bedroom?

boys camping themed bedroom image

Tessalynn

My mom just told me that this spring we're going to redecorate my room and I'm excited!! The bedding and color of the wall really has nothing to do with horses (the bedding is mostly silver with huge flowers printed on them with purple accents, the paint color will be a lilac or purpleish color). But I want some horse accents in the room, but not sure exactly what...My mom suggested putting up a shelf and then put some horse figures on it (which I think would look great!) But is there anything else we can think of?
I'm a teenager so I don't want anything too kid like...Thanks for the suggestions! ^^

Answer
There are some amazing ideas out there for horse themed rooms ranging from subtle and cheap to more out there and expensive.

Some ideas.
Painting a mural on a feature wall, this can be anything from a horse silhouette to a barn door to a whole wall dedicated to your favourite horse or just a few horse themed decals. Links in Source.

You could swop your door out for a moor barn themed door either a half door or a sliding door

http://www.horsenation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/245094404691965069_4EDoBsC2_c.jpg
Paint it white to keep it more subtle

You could add beams to your ceiling
http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/shared/images/8D/2-cozyisromantic-familyroom-1207-xlg.jpg
http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2012/02/16/HHOV215_bedroom-wood-beam-ceiling-Asian-Indian-influences_s3x4_lg.jpg
You can do this cheaply by using sheet wood (MDF) and 2x2s to create hollow false beams. Stain them dark or paint them white. You could also keep it more of a wood look by cladding the ceiling in wood like the second pic.

You can use horse shoes as decoration or hanging storage
These can often be quite pricey to make but if your dad or granddad is handy he could probably make some for a lot cheaper, ask your local farrier for any old shoes.

You can frame some vintage horse prints and create a feature wall using those
Use google image search to search for nice pictures, if you have a decent printer then you can print them yourself or get them printed for you. Put them in cheap frames (Dollar Store, thrift store), you can recover the frames or leave as is and create a nice wall of pics

Turn your bed into a show jump.
http://www.horsenation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/25825397832679454_sJu9G5TR_c2.jpg
Simply use some 2x2s and a couple of poles and paint to desired colours.

Keep it subtle by adding large (or small) canvas with black and white prints on them

Turn a canvas into a headboard for your bed

If you are budgeting for new furniture then these are some lovely pieces:

Any good babysitting crafts? Games? Just things that kids would like to do?

K

Answer
Always bring activities for them to play. It's fun to have new toys! Now that I've babysat for most of my clients at least 3 or 4 times, the kids recognize the tigerstriped backpack I bring babysitting and saunter over to it and check out what games I brought while I'm talking to the parents!
Always bring books with you to read to them at night. Even if they can read themselves, all the boys I've ever babysat for have anticipated the books I bring to read to them. Sometimes, if the kids are 8 or 9, I encourage them to read the book to their younger sibling instead of me reading it to them. Be careful not to encourage competitions (who can run the fastest, etc.). It always ends up with one boy crying that he lost. Always bring stickers, too. You'll never know what they'll come in handy for. With school age boys, they really like things that involve creativity but also have rules. Have a "theme" day. It's really fun and keeps them interested the whole time. Here are some really fun themes to choose:
Baseball
-Make a jersey or wrist band that says their name and name of team they want to "play for"
-Play a 3 inning game of baseball
-Make hotdogs
-Watch "Everyone's Hero" (a cute cartoon movie about a boy and his talking baseball bat)
-Eat popcorn or peanuts
Bugs!
-Catch butterflies/fire flies
-Make "Ants on a Log" (celery topped with peanut butter and raisins/chocolate chips) or "Worms in the Dirt" (chocolate pudding, gummy worms, and crushed oreos)
-Watch "A Bug's Life"
Art (some boys like it and some don't... I'd babysat for this 5-year-old boy for about 3 months and he never seemed to be enjoying all of the sports games and movies I was bringing. Then I had an art themed night and that was really his niche!)
- Make and write a book (one kid can write the story, one can draw the pictures, etc.). Don't influence what they write and draw... I had one kid write a book all about a movie he'd seen and another wrote about playing his gameboy.
- Bring coloring and activity books. (Dot-to-dots and things like that).
- Make cookies and decorate with colored icing
Here are some random games to play:
Volleyball- lay a string on the floor to use as the center dividing line and blow up a balloon to use as the volleyball. You can play too or be the reff.
Go "camping" in the living room- make a tent in their bedroom or livingroom and get a flashlight to use as a bonfire. Tell scary stories and encourage them to make up stories too. Eat marshmellows (pretend to roast them) and, if you can, put some glow in the dark stars on the cieling and turn the lights off.

Baby nursery ideas for hunter green and tan painted room.?

girls bedroom owl decor image

Sarah Sue

So my husband is giving me his "man room" to convert as the baby's nursery. Its painted half hunter green and half tan. Im trying to think of cute nursery ideas that would work for a boy or girl. I would like to save money and not have to repaint.Only idea I came up with has been a forest theme but people me say it seems more boyish.

Answer
Congratulations! Here are my ideas:

-- I think a forest theme works for either a boy or girl. We almost went with a forest theme for our nursery (but when we found out we were having a boy, my husband decided he wanted trains instead). Because the paint scheme sounds dark and bold, choose bedding and curtains that have lots of softer colors (like forest-themed bedding that is mostly cream-colored instead of mostly brown).

Using "girlier" animals to decorate a forest-themed room might help the nursery seem more unisex. For example, bunnies and deer feel somewhat more feminine than owls and foxes, if that makes sense.

Here is a forest bedding set that looks more feminine to me:
http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=73986&CatID=73986&Grptyp=ENS&ItemId=17c05b4&cm_mmc=ShoppingFeed-_-Google-_-Baby-_-Carters%20Forest%20Friends%20Bedding%20and%20Accessories

And here is one that looks more masculine:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3925570

-- Rainforest animals are actually very "in" right now in terms of nursery decor. Those colors also sound like they could work with a rainforest theme. I've seen cute monkey bedding that looks somewhat feminine.

Here's an example of a monkey-themed nursery:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3123727

And here is some elephant bedding that looks fairly unisex:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4346654

-- A pond/bugs/frogs theme sounds like it would work well with the dark green and tan. Bugs and frogs seem pretty feminine as well. Here is an example:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4346649

-- I've always thought it would be fun to replicate the "great green room" from Goodnight Moon for a child's bedroom or playroom. It could work for a nursery, too, especially if you're set on keeping the bold wall colors.

Here is a video of a playroom at a children's museum that is designed to look the like great green room:
http://buymodernbaby.com/blog/2010/04/21/my-modern-nursery-17-goodnight-moon/#comments

Here is a link to a recreation of the great green room for a stage performance:
http://www.gazette.net/stories/051408/entenew165100_32357.shtml

Since your room is half hunter green and half tan, you could even have half the room be a Goodnight Moon room and the other half be something else literary ... nursery rhymes, maybe?

-- I know most of what I've shown you is pre-packaged bedding sets, but honestly, if I had our nursery to do over again, I don't think I'd get a pre-packaged bedding set. They're cute, but the sheet is the only part that ends up being really useful. You're not supposed to use quilts/comforters with little babies, so those usually end up becoming wall decorations. And there has been much debate about the safety of bumper pads, so we ended up taking ours out. Plus, when you move the crib mattress down to its lowest setting (when your baby is about seven months old or so), the crib skirt usually no longer works. I would instead decorate with pictures, toys on shelves, lamps, etc. I would get regular baby blankets and sheets that matched the theme or color scheme.

Paint isn't very expensive, so if you decide you really aren't happy with the dark colors in your nursery, it wouldn't be a bad idea to repaint.

Good luck!

Young artist. I wanna add a splash of color to my room!?

Drew

im a fourteen year old girl. I am a very creative artist and im currently bored being stuck within the grey walls of my bedroom...my mom says she trust me to paint something on my wall but im kind of stuck. please tell me any sites that could give me some good ideas about something I could put on them!! I don't want like a face or dog or something. but like a cute cartoon owl or flowers or a inspirational quote would be great! make sure its colorful!!

Answer
look at you room size, the colours already as decor and curtains, lighting, and then jot down you favorite colours as mood or interest,

if you were interested in horses and pets, you may want browns and soft colour values,

if your were into sports, you may want team colours and sharp lines,
you could do smoke and mirrors, and paint scenery and add mirror tile wall to extend space,
create Alice in wonderland environment, with large polka dot mushrooms, and macro sized creatures,
create faded blue to violet blend on wall, and spot stars of your constellation, horoscope,

design large splash wave as blues and white caps ,

I found a pear shaped pillow today and now I want to do a bedroom in fruits. I love the idea of fruit shaped pillows, even if finding them online is not as easy as I want it to be. What all could be done to decorate a room in a fruit manner?

Answer
Sounds like a really cute room!

To start, I'd choose a theme that could go with fruit. You could do a tropical fruit theme, and do a sort of beach/tropics room to go with it.

Paint your walls a nice sand color, or blue if you want it to feel like the ocean. Find tropical bedding that would feature a fruit or two. You can often find tropical trees on a duvet cover, and they may also have the odd pineapple and banana featured as well.

For curtains, go out and buy some shower hooks with a pineapple or other fruit on them. I've seen them in home decor stores. Hang your curtain through the hooks. It adds a nice touch to your window.

On your floor, it may be difficult to find an area rug that features only fruit, so continue with the tropical feel by adding an area rug like this http://www.houseofarearugs.com/Zuma-Beach-p-332.html .

Make your own fruit shaped pillows by tracing a pattern out on fabric and stuffing them yourself. You could do an apple in red fabric or a banana in yellow.

Any good ideas to redo my bedroom in a beach theme??

Q. i have a bedspread that's blue and brown polka dots, and i'm thinking of maybe painting my walls a light blue color, and hanging up a beach picture. but i need more ideas!!! thanx!! =)

Answer
Hi,
Yeah wow, you're on the road, for a great beach theme room.

Some other great ideas are:

-Wicker baskets, with blue or white lining inside. or small wicker trays with large and small sea shells.

-bright white trim, like white molding around the ceiling, and white molding around your doors, bright white though.

- you may not want too, but will look good, is painting your nightstand (s) and other furniature, white, the white painted look is in when it comes to beach house apeal, it's very common in virgina, and other coastal homes.

-a fun additive, is palm tree accents, although you have to like that rustic feeling, you can go with the fake or real fern trees, or dressor top plants, it will feel more tropical, and make the room feel cool and airy.

- finding a theme is important, you can go with a dolphin theme, a sailor theme, a ocean submarine theme, a tropical island theme, or just oceanic colors.

-Wood blinds, white or a matching brown. that cordinates with your blanket, wood blinds will accent the blue, and bring out a beach theme. You can also buy mini fish bowls, and fill them with shells, or beach sand, and a few smaller shells.

- bringing in a small aqaurium, will definantly give the final blow for a watery theme. Not only will a nice running water sound relax you in your sleep, the beauty of the fish alone is a relaxing additive.

- if you want to go extreme beach theme, Get some really big sand dollars, and star fish, and mount them on your wall, it's easy to mount with a simple small nail, or a push pin, stagard them a nice pattern above windows, door frames, or above your bed... or if you want purchas a netting, and have them attatched to that, to accent a corner.

There are fun lightings you can get at spencers or a fun shop, that will throw watery light effects onto your ceiling, much like an aqaurium.

also, even walmart, or a target you can get water fountains, that drip down water, with a few decorative rocks, or shells, it can really be fun, alot of craft stores, have Ocean themed crafts, and art accents, that you can find a home for.

Latterns, or light house memorbila, can be old fashion, try to avoid those.

avoid fishy borders in the room, avoid, cheap looking plastic shells, or wall decor, try to stay with real items.

How can I get a surfer style bedroom?

bedroom decor for little girls 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:

Do you know of any sites where you can "virtually" decorate a kids bedroom?

I am trying to come up with ideas for my little girls bedroom but I want to be able to see what it might look like first before I buy everything.

I couldn't find any free sites - they do have software out there to buy - but I did find these ten tips -

Hope this helps just a little bit:

10 Tips For Decorating Kids Bedrooms
by Lee Dobbins
There comes a time when your child is no longer a baby that the nursery room decor simply wonât do. Your child needs a place that he can call his own and which reflects his or her emerging personality.

Kids rooms should be fun as well as comforting and relaxing. When you set out to decorate your childs room, ask them what they like and incorporate some of their favorite themes and colors into the room. At the same time, it might be wise to keep an eye on the future and know that their tastes will change and if you make your decor flexible enough the room can last into your childs teens.

Here are some tips on decorating kids bedrooms:

Use colorful curtains and accents. Show your child some curtain selections and ask them what they would like to see no the windows. Try to stick to bright colored window treatments as these will help the room to look sharper and cleaner.
Adding a valance can help define the opening of the window and lessen bright overhead light from coming in at the top of the windows. It also opens up the window so the room can be lit evenly during the day. Add a colorful or themed shade for privacy at night.


Consider using your childs toys as wall decor. This can serve two purposes - as decoration and to save on storage space. You can create hooks to hang larger toys and add shelves to display the smaller ones. Now if you can only get your kids to put them away!

You can always add paintings and prints in strategic places but make sure they are appropriate to the room. If you can afford it, consider having a wall or room mural painted on the walls in your childs favorite theme such as a magical forest, sports or race cars.

Decorate with photos of your childs most fondest memories. Family pictures of fun vacations or photos of your child on a day of achievement can add a personal touch to his or her room.

Depending on the age of your child, consider adding lifelike statues of his or her favorite cartoon characters or super heroes. This can add a bit of whimsy and make the decor unique.

Plants always add softness to any room and live plants help to clean the air. Just be sure you donât add any plants that can be toxic and that your child is old enough not to dig in the dirt in the pots!

Donât forget about the lampshades when decorating a kids room. Lamps and their shades can be purchased to accent any type of theme. You can also try making your own shades by buying plain ones and embellishing them with accents the compliment the rooms theme. Make it into a project that you can do with your child and they will really feel a sense of accomplishment every time they go into their room and see the lampshade.

Select your bedding to match the theme of the room as well as for comfort. Be sure to buy sheets, pillows and comforters that can be mixed and matched and donât forget to add some extra accent pillows. You can even buy curtains that match the bedding, or if the curtains are not available for the bedding you have chosen, buy an extra set of sheets and make your own curtains.

Turn your childs ceiling into a magical night sky with glow in the dark decorations. These can be fun and even comforting for your child to be able to lay in bed and gaze up at the night stars.

Donât forget to put educational and informative things into your kids bedroom. Include books, charts and toys that add to the childs education. Then your children can be learning while having fun.
Decorating your kids bedroom is a great way to give them a place they can call their own inside your home. You might even find your kid spending more time in there!

I've been wanting to jazz up my bedroom for ages now but I never have any money to go buy things that cost way more then they're worth. So if you have any DIY ideas or know of any DIY blogs please comment. I love making things and doing a bit of crafts. *side note* I love the gypsy style. If it has bright colours, bells or ribbons I'm all over it.

Answer
if i were u,i would splash paint all over my wall but sadly, that could be dangerous as there is no guarantee that it will turn out well.

what you COULD do is get ordinary paint,normal furniture and paint it all colourful. try out red, white and pink roses like this:

or you could try this:

hope you're a good artist... :)

it would do well to paint your room a bright pink and add some brown to reduce the girly-girl effect and it's time you bought some junk jewellery to display in your room.

all the best!!!! hope u have fun...

Where can I find vintage Hollywood movie posters?

Becca W.

I am currently re-decorating my bedroom and I choose the vintage Hollywood theme because I love old movies. I am looking for vintage movie posters, so far I was only able to find three at the stores (Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Mairlynn Monroe in that white dresss). Does anybody know of any good websites where I can find some Hollywood movie posters? I would also like to point out that I am on a budget : ) Also, does anyone have any tips for decor that would enhance my theme?

Answer
As mentioned before, allposters.com has thousands upon thousands of movie posters (and posters of other types). You can pick up frames almost anywhere, but IKEA has nice beechwood frames that can be painted.

My suggestion as to decorating is to pick a style and choose both posters and accessories that suit that style. For example, if you like Art Deco, you could get posters from movies like Metropolis, Wings, and the 1931 Frankenstein. (Posters from more recent movies like Bonnie & Clyde and the Agatha Christie mysteries work well here too.) If you wanted to go 50s retro, you could get posters from movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sunset Boulevard, and Ben-Hur.

For decorating, you could paint using historical paint colours for those eras. Sherwin Williams has a historical palette, as does Dulux in the UK. Paint is cheap, especially if you do it yourself, and can really make a big difference.

Once you choose a specific era, it'll also be easier to find furniture and accessories that match. 50s accessories show up a lot in garage sales in post-war neighbourhoods - many seniors who were 20 in the 50s are moving into seniors' residences and cleaning out their homes.

Answer
I agree with Isis. Black-and-white bedrooms can look gorgeous and sophisticated, especially if you bring in another accent colour like fuscia pink or rich purple, plum, or teal. This would also look great with a classic, subtle animal print maybe on the bedding or curtains, if you're that sort of girl! A chandelier or some other time of opulent lighting, a gorgeous, fluffy rug and your room will look spectacular! Have fun!

What can i put in my one year old daughters nightstand drawers?

I Got

I just got her a bedroom set and have no idea what to put in her nightstand drawers. She has a few books i could put in there but what else?

Answer
First thing that came to mind was flash light too. My son loves them, and yes, there are some nice heavy duty kids flash lights. A few books is good too, other then that, why not let her pick out which things she would like to stuff in there. chances are, they will be dug through, emptied out, and re packed full of goodies many times in the comings years by her.

Is painting my room orange a good idea?

me

So about 3 years ago, i painted my bedroom a lime green color. Now, since I've matured a lot more, I really can not stand the green anymore. I think it's really ugly and doesn't go good with all the pink curtains and comforters I have. So, I want to paint it orange. Orange has always been one of my favorite colors, and I wouldn't do a super strong orange, more like a calm peachy or something. Do you think it would look good?

Answer
Orange is a bold color, so you'd have to be careful in choosing just the right shade. Too peachy and it's going to look like your grandmother's blush, too orange-y and it's going to look like Citrus Central, too bright and it's going to look like a Halloween poster, and too muted, it's going to look like orange juice and chocolate milk mixed together. (Wow! I'm giving great color descriptions here today!)

So...the answer to the dilemma is to choose a clear, pale tangerine color that is decidedly orange but not too bright or glaring. You will need to consider the amount of natural light you have coming into the room, as well. Use darker, bright orange in accessories.

The other solution, and the one I like best, is to use orange accessories. Orange is a popular color for decorating right now, and the selection of accessories is unlimited. You can keep it subtle with just a few throw pillows and some abstract art work, or you can find lamps, rugs, bedspreads, what have you. The strong bursts of color would call for a subdued wall color, such as an off-white or a pale creamy color.

I like orange too. I am redecorating my living room so that I can incorporate some small touches of orange in the decor. My walls are a pale yellow-green, I have a pale gold chair and ottoman, dark wood pieces, and a moss green sofa. On the window is a moss green silk valance and sheer gold panels. The floors are oak laminate. I had a patterned area rug, and I am switching it out for a plain sisal with brown border. I have some mottled orange candles and an orange brass egg. Alll my art pieces are abstracts, and each one contains some orange tones.

I want to add some throw pillows in an orange print that picks up all the colors, and maybe solids in a burnt orange. From Company C, I want to order the shanghai throw in Mandarin. This I will put on the sofa.

I know what it will look like when I'm done - FABULOUS! I love orange and think it's a great accent color, in small doses.

You may have to change out your pink stuff, if you go with orange. Be sure to bring in some paint samples first, or even paint a small section of your walls. You can buy the little testers for a few dollars now. Paint several sections, or paint some sample boards (you can buy them, or use poster board) and place them around in different places. Try different lighting for the best choice.

bedroom decorating ideas pictures image

:)Loves

Hey Hey im decorating my bedroom and i cant seem to find online that will give me great tips!
Please help!=)
Thanks-Lovess.

Answer
I've faced the same problem recently, I trailed the internet for hours and didn't find anything either.

In the end I just came up with my own ideas:

I thought I could make some collages by using pictures out of magazines, clothes I like etc. and stick them onto some fancy wrapping paper (you can but individual sheets which are good quality and only cost about 80p!)

I printed off some of my favourite pictures of the computer of friends, and also things I thought were cool like the eiffel tower and the hollywood sign and laminated them. I pinned them up to cover part of one of my walls, and it looked really effective. Also, keep scraps of paper and tickets form concerts to add later, it looks really good when it all builds up! - A pin board might be handy for this - they only cost about £5 if you look around, maybe less!

I also thought of getting some beads and string, and making simple yet creative items: just thread the beads onto the string, as long or short as you want, and dangle them from the ceiling, make a set of door beads, hang them at the window, or even round the mirror; the possibitilities are endless! If you're stuck on how to hang them up, you can buy plastic hooks with a stick side, that come off easily if you ever get sick of them:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SMALL-OVAL-SELF-ADHESIVE-HOOKS-PACK-OF-3_W0QQitemZ300410919143QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_Decorative_Accents_LE?hash=item45f1e2d8e7

Posters are always good, but can look a bit boring by themselves. Buy some ready cut cardboard shapes like harts, stars and flowers from a local craft store or online, or do them yourself if you wanted, and stick them around with blue tack. At first I thought this would look too childish, but I tried it and it didn't, it's cheap too!

Try adding extra little accessories around the room, like a fluffy pillow, or a fun wall clock. Anything that takes your fancy!

Hope this helps!! (:

decorating and painting my room in blue?

solaris

i'm moving into a new house soon and i've been thinking of using the ocean and beach theme to decorate my bedroom but i dont want a overly beach bum type of bedroom.i want to use shades of blue and green. i would like a fresh feel to the room because i live in country with a hot climate. any decorating ideas and ideas for paint and furniture?

Answer
I have the perfect paint color for you, it's called "Rainwashed" by Sherwin Williams. I wanted a look similar to your's in my bedroom. I too live in the country and wanted my room to have a feel that I'm on vacation with the ocean just outside my window. I painted all the woodwork white. Hung white sheers with white venetian blinds behind them and bought a beautiful white Matelasse' coverlet (there on sale at J C Penny right now, queen size only $44.99). You can ALWAYS get on-line coupon codes for J C Penny's as well just by googling. A few well placed pieces of coral and a few favorite seashells in a basket on the floor, a nicely framed (also white) favorite picture of the ocean and the room turned out to be everything I was looking for. Hope you have the same success. You can find that paint color at
