bedroom decor vintage image
Q. I'm 14 and moving house soon. When I decorate my room, I want it really different and chic. I like 'vintage' style things, such as urban outfitter themed decor. I don't want a huge amount of pink. I like the idea of blues. I want one wall to be bright and the others plain. I like things clean cut and simple. Does anyone have any interesting colour themes that i could use or just any tips overall?
Answer
WOW.. i'm impressed! U'r 14 & u know what u what. Not too many do. So when u'r talking the "urban outfitter" I'm not quite sure where u'r heading. R u heading for the 50-60's look or what? As far as blues... for the 50-60 look u can go w/ blu/gr or gr/bl almost like turquoise. IF u WANT the pink, then put PINK tones as in pillows/frames/lamps things like that. I did my friend's 2 grls rooms but they wanted something brighter but I used mocha br along w/ pink & pinky/blu... it really came out kewl. The trends back then were 50's more pink/turquoise/black/white/red then moved into the turquoise/orange/browns/lime greens. I would love to help u if u want to e me. (kadullade@yahoo.com) I love decorating esp for kids/teens.

What's the best way to get 50's decor for a child's bedroom?

I'm building a house and I really like the 50's retro. Unfortunately, I don't know much about 50's retro decorating. I like it because I went to CandyTown USA a few weeks back, and I liked the sod fountain time era. I asked them what time era it was and they said 50's. Can I have help with decor?
Answer
I absolutely love 1950s home decor.
Your best bet will be going to the library and looking for books on that decor theme. Also searching the internet for retro, vintage and 1950s decor. There are a lot of pictures online that will inspire you.
Another tip, rent some 1950s sitcoms like Father Knows Best, I love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, The Donna Reed Show, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Make Room for Daddy, etc.
Any of these will have the decor you are going for and may show a girls bedroom now and again.
Good luck!
