Bedroom design help (teen girl)?




queenfanfo


I am possibly getting my room re-done this summer (for my birthday) and was wanting something modern but cool. I already have a few ideas in my head, but the thing is, I don't want to be costing my mum and dad a heap! I will also be contributing money to the furniture and things, so they won't be paying for everything, but it would be really good if I could get everything at a reasonable price. My ideas were:

-A double bed with storage. (This one isn't really an idea because I do need a new bed.)

-A ball chair. (They are cool and look comfortable! They are quite expensive though..)

-A wall sticker of Freddie Mercury or any inspiring quotes or song lyrics.

-Some kind of wardrobe that isn't too chunky and is not wooden.

-A whiteboard or something? Anything that I can kind of use to put on reminders and photos, etc.

-A funky bedside lamp.

I would like to have a completely new room from what I have right now, which is all girly. I feel like I need a more grown-up room, but still one that isn't too old for me and is modern. I am obsessed with the band Queen so any Queen related products that I could put in my new room would be a bonus!
Also, I am sorry if I have come across as picky and fussy and spoilt, but I just want to make sure that my room ends up perfect, and I really need help finding websites and stores in the UK to buy these things for my room. Plus, I have saved up since my last birthday to get money for the room and am still saving at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated. Links are good as well. Thanks :)

Oh, and the colour theme would probably be black and another colour, but I still need to decide on the other colour.



Answer
Designing a room is really fun. If you want a grown up look, go for neutral colors. You said you like black, which is a start. I recommend coffee house colors, like chocolate browns or off-white. You can keep it youthful by adding stylish decoration such as framed posters, plants and draped cloths over your furniture to add a splash of color. I myself an a fan of reds and purples. A white board could be a good idea as long as it doesn't become cluttered with notes. If you want to stay organized, I recommend a planner or a decorative notepad. A few throw pillows are nice, but don't cover your bed in them like some girls do. A nightstand is a good idea, not just for a lamp but it's a good place to store things. I have a friend who loves interior design and goes to places like thrift stores for some things if saving money is your thing. You'd be surprised how much a new paint job can change the look of a bookshelf or jewelry box. (Don't buy something that smells bad. You want your room to be comforting, not worrisome.) The important thing is that you get the most out of your space. Arrange everything in a way that is convenient and easy to clean up. Mirrors are another way to open it up to add the illusion of more space. I would also recommend looking into getting a desk. Homework goes a lot more smoothly when you have an area that has everything you need.

Decorating ideas for boys and girls sharing a bedroom?




Dragonfly


I am a teenage girl sharing a bedroom with kid brother. Really, really want to redo our room but can't find any unisex decorating ideas that aren't aimed at really little kids. This is like a 14 year old freshman girl and a 10 year old, 4th grade boy, both very mature. We want something that will make the room a pleasant, comfortable space for both of us. It sucks to share a room, but I think it will be easier if we design it well. Any ideas are appreciated. Links are awesome. Thank you guys SOOO much!!! :)
yeah, i know we are old to be sharing but some people just cant afford big houses with separate rooms for each kid
Thank you so much, "someone somewhere" :) I loved the links!! The room is 12 by 9 feet i think. We have bunkbeds, two dressers, a bookshelf, and a desk. It is pretty cramped but i am totally willing to get rid of things, consoladate, switch stuff out, etc. We are pretty open as far as color schemes go. We both like blue, green, gray, white, purple..

Again, thank u so much!



Answer
If you did a room themed like Feng Shui which is like a tranquil Japanese style....you could use rice paper dividers for privacy, it would be modern, mature, and unisex.

Bedroom decorating ideas teenage boy?




Eric Richa


I am in to soccer, cars, and I love blue


Answer
Are you allowed to paint your room and will someone help you to do it?
IF so, Benjamin Moore; Hale Navy, HC 154 is a great colour for a teenage boy who will soon be a young man. White or offwhite trim (Ben Moore, Timid White OC-39) looks great with this colour blue.
Avoid wallpaper borders with soccer balls or cars - you'll outgrow it very quickly.
To bring your interests into the room, you could install some white shelves above the bed or a desk to display some of your favourite items. (Model cars, trophies, books, photos with friends, etc).

I've seen "pillows that look like sports balls" at some of the Big Chain Stores. You might be able to find a soccer ball.

Have a look online for photos of favourite cars or soccer teams etc. or use some of your own favourite photos. Print 8x10, put photos in inexpensive frames, and hang as a group. - Great art for your room.

As you get older, you will easily be able to "can change things up".

hope this helps, professional decorator

Ideas on styling my room ?

Q. I'm a teen and I want to re-do my room . I like colors combo but i don't know what color combo ( black/white/lime green, pink/purple/white etc.) I wanted things in it like beads and i wanted a comforter that doesn't look like a kid's comforter . I also wanted to resemble my interests.
I like Dancing
Fashion
Desiging
Shopping

I'll accept all answers
Websites if possible plz !


Answer
You could paint one wall, preferably the wall behind your bed a medium shade of purple, and hang up vinyl records on the wall. If your room is pretty small, try not to paint your walls dark colors, it makes your room seem smaller!

Or you can use some of these decals on your wall:
http://www.decaljunky.com/cart/c-66-dance.aspx
They're all dancing ones

Now, to get more of a "fashion" feel to your room, you can try adding mannequins! You can find a lot on ebay! Try Putting clothes on a rack and not in a closet, it adds more of a fashion vibe. A couch. Although it's kind of expensive if it will last a long time and its worth it.



Mirrors make a nice addition since it reflects light, and makes the room look bigger.
Cloose favorite colors and shapes. Colors should reflect your moods and personality. Different colors of shaped objects in the decor like clocks, picture frames, chairs, floral arrangements, help accent every room to the max.

I like rummage sales to pick out different objects that look interesting and make a conversation piece.

Old books stacked are sophisicated, old dishes used for candle holders or jewelry holders are very stylish.

I look for objects that I might be able to hang my jewelry on for part of my decor, hold a hat, hold a throw blanket for those chilly fall days, baskets for holding makeup, brushes, etc.

clear shoe holders hang on the back of your door for all of those quick to get items used every day. school items, hair items, makeup, under garmets, cleaners for facials, hair, or just bathing, perfumes, ....anything you can imagine!

Use flat plastic containers to put under the bed for extra blankets, or extra decorations to trade out sometimes to make the room look a bit different without spending over budget. However you decide, it has to be YOU! Have fun sweetie!

Now for the wall colors:

Purple and green are the opposite colors so its perfect combo. Add a hint of pink, blue or both to add that variety. Use the white and or silver as your accent colors. I would suggest to paint an accent wall. Have your two walls dedicated as your black & white movie style pictures. Use basic black frames for them. You can usually buy the frames for cheap if you stick with the plastic black ones. This will also draw the attention to the pic not the frame. You might want to use one horizontal stripe on two sides of the room to make it longer. Vertical to make it taller. Use a solid purple color comforter with plaid, square or flowery styled pillows

Best place for comforters for the color scheme you want are Walmart & Target. Black & white pics is target. For lamps and maybe some shelving, Bed Bath & Beyond.

Of course trying to figure out your room with out looking at it, Im only guessing here but if your walls are small by your entry door, add two long mirrors. If the window is opposite from your door, natural light will bounce from them and make the room appear larger. Also the mirrors can be written on with dry erase board markers could be used for msg's, reminders or important dates.
For your windows, drapes can be soft and sheer. One idea you can do is find sheer material to drape across and over the window. Another way is to find an inexpensive shower curtain, preferably sheer. maybe a white one, cut 4" of ribbon (fun and colorful maybe even feathery) tie around the holes of the shower curtain (leaving enough room for it to slide back and forth on the curtain rod.) glue on flowers or sequences. You will have your very own unique curtain.

themed kids rooms?




jes


my son is afraid to sleep in his room
his doctor suggested that we redecorate it
paint it and all that
im looking for different "themes"
or just painting ideas
id like to see some pictures of things that wouldnt be too hard or expensive....not a lot of money or a lot of talent
so if you know any good sites for ideas and pictures thatd be great thanks



Answer
I was on a budget when I did my son's room too! I went to walmart to buy primer and paint. Their paint is cheaper, but I've never had it crack or chip, and it's been up for years. After I painted, I went to Dollar Tree. In their handy-man section as I call it, they have all sorts of room decor stickers. They stay up no matter the temperature, and if he rips one off the wall, it won't ruin the paint and will go right back onto the wall. They're great! At my local Dollar Tree they have Winnie the Pooh, Barbie, Cinderella and other Disney princesses, Spiderman, Finding Nemo, etc. If they don't have something you'd like, then go to a different Dollar Tree. Walmart also has these stickers, they just aren't a dollar.

Parents are kicking me out. What do i need to know to live on my own?




kasserole0


i just turned 19 a week ago, my parents told me i have till the 1st of January to move. i get paid 7.50 an hour, i cant support myself on that. im currently looking for a job. i cant afford anyplace to live so im planning on moving to a trailer and getting food stamps will i can support myself. but i have no clue where to go to look for a trailer or how to apply for foodstamps.

im freaking out righ now because my parents gave me a deadline and they are serious about it. i dont have ANY money saved up, i had about a thousand saved up last month but ALL of that went to buying my car. so now i have money again. and im freaking out because i know i cant support myself but my parents will not let me stay no matter what.

im not worried about furniture or anything like that. i just really need to know where to get foodstamps/wic and a trailer in the Virginia Beach area.
thank you so much. any information will be greatly appreciated



Answer
If you want to rent a place by yourself, you'd need to come up with first month's rent, last month's rent, and possibly security deposit. Since you don't have any of that, and you also don't have a decent job, what I'd strongly suggest is that you get some sort of roommate situation. That's what most people do at first, because it helps you cut costs. Share an apartment or a trailer (two bedroom trailers do exist) for a while, until you get your feet under you, financially. Then decide your next steps. So for now, start looking at places like Craigslist, and your newspaper classified ads, to see what apartment shares cost where you live.

In addition, make it a priority to find a better job.

You might qualify for food stamps. You won't qualify for WIC, since you don't have a kid. Google Food Stamps and learn what the process is.

An option for you is the military. They'd pay you, house you, clothe you, feed you. You'd gain solid work experience, especially if you can get into their medical or one of their trade fields. They'd even pay for you to go to college when you came out. If you want to consider a branch where you don't tend to get deployed, look at the Coast Guard. There's actually a Coast Guard base right there in Virginia Beach, so you may be able to get in locally. Maybe go online and find a local recruiter, go speak to him about your options, see what you think. You don't have to commit to anything - just go talk to him and see what you think.

Ideas for an ocean themed bedroom?




Becka


I'm 13 and I'm redoing my bedroom. I want it to have an ocean theme. The walls are aqua, the floors are a light laminate, and all my furniture is painted white. Any ideas on how i can accessorize it?


Answer
You could get some starfish and hang them. You can find them in the craft sections of stores or at Michaels. Pictures or wall decor of fish would be cool hanging on the aqua blue wall. It will look like water.Have fun and enjoy decorating your room.

Tropical Bedroom decorating Help?




Shelia


My son is 14 and we are putting this tropical mural on his wall. http://www.muralsuperstore.com/catalog/pacific_sunset_218_4621554.htm
The carpet is a sand color. We had originally thought of painting the walls orange and sponging yellow on it to keep with the sunset theme but having bought paint samples and tried it, we don't like it. Thinking of painting the walls either yellow and doing the trim and headboard in orange, or vice versa. Another thought is to paint the walls a nice medium blue to look like the ocean, there is a glitter to add to paint so it has some sparkle. The question with making the walls blue is do we go ahead and paint the wall with the mural a bright yellow anyway (3/4 of wall will be covered with the mural), and if we do that then what color do we do the trim/headboard? Or do we make the wall behind the mural a lighter blue and paint the trim to match?
Am looking for any feedback on the ideas we had and any new suggestions. We have a yellow shark crossing sign he had gotten at the zoo for the walls. Saw on someone else's post the idea of taking a small piece of plywood and wrapping a beach towel around it which would keep with the beach theme.

Idea for Painting a BEDROOM Set in DISNEY PRINCESS THEME?




WellaTeam


HI guys I had a question, we bought a really nice bedroom set/hutch /desk set for my girls bedroom, and I need ideas on how to paint it in a disney princess theme?

My kids room is painted in lilac/pink with all disney decorations, does anyone have any ideas on what color to paint the bedroom set?

the set is now in all white, it needs to be painted because it has a few scratches, what color do you think will match? any ideas would be appreciated this will be such a fun project for me! Thanks in advance



Answer
I have two granddaughters (cousins) that have Princess themed bedrooms. One has antiqued Oak furniture, and we let the wall decorations dictate the theme - her mother and I painted a castle mural on one wall and painted the other three wall lilac.

The other granddaughter has a "castle" loft bed painted white, with a pine dresser that they also painted white to match. We simply added new knobs that I bought from E-bay that depicted a wand, castle, tiara, etc. Each knob is different. We also replaced the knobs on the bi-fold closet door with the same. Her walls are pink and decorated with Disney Princess cameos.

Answer
A nice pale green colour would be lovely. It would compliment the lilac and pink already in the room.
Paint the furniture green with white accents, IE. doorknobs and antique white rubbed in along the borders of the Drawers and edges of the dresser, Headboard, and Chair etc.
Crystal knobs would go nicely as well on the dresser pulls/knobs.
You could paint a pretty floral in the centre of the drawers, Headboard etc. with these 4 colours.
It will give you a sense of continuity.

In my opinion.I would not repeat the actual Disney decorations on the furniture as that may look like overkill.
It would be far more princess like to paint an extension of what princesses rooms should look like.
You can pick up pretty floral motifs or any type for that matter,
in stencil form at Home Depot or a good paint store.
This is a very easy way and almost foolproof to achieving perfect painting images.
If you can afford to purchase Stencils with at least 2 to 4 Overlays the better and more professional the look will be.
It will have far more dimension to the artwork.
Another idea is to purchase stencils of your choice that have 2 overlays and create a raised plaster effect in white.
This technique is extremely easy and stunning once done.

I have supply you with some websites that you can browse through for inspiration and ideas as well as some instructions to the ideas that I have outlined for you.

An important tip about stencil cutting is not lifting up your Exacto knife once you've started cutting. It makes for a sharper edge. Also, use a piece of glass as your cutting surface. This has really helped me and doesn't damage anything. Purchased an Exacto knife with a swiveling blade. Wow...this tool is so excellent makes me want to buy stock in the company...You need to buy Mylar film to create and cut out your own desgins. You will need a repositional Spray adhesive like the one made by Scotch.
You spray this on the back of the stencil and then place on the object that you will paint in.

any girl bedroom ideas?




Madel





Answer
Depending on how old your girl is, she'll prefer different things. If you want something that will last, paint a feature wall of her favourite colour, in white stencil on a lotus-on-stalks design with butterflies spreading through-out the scenery. Every girl would want to be in her own way a little princess, add a white mosquito net to create a rich and fresh atmosphere. Grab a matching desk (I suggest Ikea, you'll be amazed what you will find there) and to compliment it why not put a mirror mosaic on the side or above it.

If your girl is into ponies and horses, turn her bedroom door into a stable door, with a bit of wood, paint, and a horse picture on the top she'll be AMAZED. With some ply wood you can stencil pink ponies to decorate.

If she is in a more enchanted fairy realm, paint a forest scenery, go to your local craft shop and purchase 3D stick on butterflies, a few gems to decorate her mirror, fairy led lights, cut out a tree shaped coat hanger and turn an old wardrobe into a castle entrance!

HEEEELLPPPP!! how to design teenage girls small bedroom!!!?




Ma'idah


My room is pretty small.. Something like 3 meters by 4.5.. I've got my single bed, 3 door wardrobe and small bookshelf in there so far and they're all on one of the loger sides of the wall .. I was wondering how do I design this small room without cluttering it with furniture.. The room is quite odd with the panel, ceiling to floor windows in the middle of the 3 meter wide wall.. And there's the door on the opposite.. I currently have a single 4 meter wide waall free /: its too complicated.. How do I make a neat cool organised room out of this small place? And it would be nice if you could attatch websites where I can buy affoardable furniture in the UK..

Thanks a million guys!! :D



Answer
Oh my god, ceiling to floor windows! You're really lucky ;D
Well, I guess you could keep a section of those windows permanently shut and put your desk in front of them so you can always look out on a nice view.
The main thing with tiny rooms is organisation. Also, make sure that you like your room the way it is. A great idea is one of those things that can be used for multiple purposes, eg. under-bed storage, shelves off the walls, and one of those bench-type things that can open up to store stuff. I don't know where you can get those, but keep a look out for them ;D
If you could get stacked pull-out drawers, that could be great too. If there isn't enough space across, then go up!

Happy decorating.

A girl baby nursery room?




Haley


What do you think is a cute theme for a baby girl nursery?


Answer
Choose whatever you like. This is the only time in her life that you'll get complete say on the décor. As she gets older, she'll have her own opinions. :-)

The room we were going to use as a nursery had just been painted bright blue when we found out that, surprise, I was pregnant. Since we'd just painted it, it was going to stay blue, boy or girl. I found a bedding set with ladybugs, butterflies, flowers, etc. in bright colors, and we based the room on that, even getting a ladybug rug for the floor. It was cute, and I was very happy with it.

Ideas for baby girl nurseries?




Kayla Mand


I'm having a baby girl in the fall and I need to start getting her nursery together but cannot come up with a good " theme " any ideas? I love modern things, I don't want anything like a disney princess room, or a Winnie the pooh room, I want something unique and modern, maybe suggest some colors, or websites, or ideas of your own? thanks so much.


Answer
You should check out this website: http://www.justbabynursery.com/

They have tons of cute stuff for baby nurseries and some unique and modern items too! I love the color purple on walls and I think it looks great with white or black furniture! I think it looks clean cut and modern. For the decor, there are tons of options! You could do shapes or add fun and modern wall decals on one of the walls. (I like butterflies too).

Here are some items that you might like based on what you have said but browse around the website for more: (sorry there are so many, but I like to help people decorate! There are 8 more different links in the sources too because I couldn't put them all in the answer)

Teen Bedroom Decorating Ideas?




Alyssa M


Hey!
So my family and I are moving to a new house, and I am looking to redecorate my room to a really nice theme. The only problem is, I can't pick one out!!
We're moving into a cape, we think at least. I just need some help with it. I want a really cool comforter and lights and curtains and a mini fridge and things like that.
I already have the furniture, I'm not getting any new ones, besides maybe a chair or a couch.
I really really like Disney, even though I'm 16 years old haha :-) ! I'm not into the Disney Channel, I like classic Disney, you know Disney World! I love that. So maybe a room like that would be really need to have.
Also maybe a beach themed, or something like that. But my big idea is Disney I think.
And any suggestions even if they aren't Disney, are welcomed!! My favorite color is blue, if that helps, and my furniture is black. I also hate the color pink... ;P
So thank you!!
-Lyssie



Answer
Whatâs nice about bedroom furniture is that there are actually a lot of options to choose from in terms of style, also various styles rest with different ages. For example, luxury antique furniture relates to middle-aged and old people; while for young people, a modern feel featuring a clean look with stunning symmetrical lines maybe better; then simple and friendly used furniture are suitable for kids.

The choices donât just stop with style when it comes to bedroom furniture for a wide variety of designs and types are offered in as well. Take classic European stylish furniture selected by middle aged people for example, a wide carved bed with embroider bedclothes are necessary, then, believe it or not, there are a slew of dressers that you can get for your space, dressers are great if you have a lot of clothes that you need to fold and store away. Nightstands with drawers are always a good choice as well if you have many clothes to keep. Please do not just stop here with drawers and nightstands; you could have a good selection of armoires, entertainment centers, bed frames that have drawers built in them, vanity tables and dressers, mirrors, desks, benches, and bookshelves and all kinds of bedroom furniture. If you want to enjoy some romantic moment, then you need a set of leisure furniture, let the flavor of red wine permeate around the soft music to relax both your body and mind!

What color should I paint my baby son room?




AshleyN





Answer
I would paint it around what colors connect to you. If its blue, green, yellow, orange, off white, etc. go with what sticks out to you and build your room decor on that. If you plan on having a theme such as one of the many crib sets you can get at Baby's R Us and the Baby Depot go with the colors in the bed set either in a deeper or lighter shade. Just remember that babies can get overly stimutlated by too loud/bright/deep hued colors so keep it more toward the softer hues. One thing that is reallly cool is to paint 3 of the walls in one color and then 1 in the highlight color. Another is to paint it one color half to three fourths of the way up and then the remaining either in a lighter shade or in the accent color. I really think a cool idea is to hang wooden letters with your baby's name on the top. Or on the opposite color wall. One book that is an excellent resource for ideas is Taunton Home's Kids Idea Book. Here are some of my suggestions:
baby blue/mint green
yellow/orange/chocolate
You could create a monkey, dinosaur, sports, natural, sea, moon and stars, safari, elephants, bob the builder, etc The possibilities are endless. A good bet is to get one of the small trial cans of paint from Home Depot/Lowes paint the color in question on the wall and leave it there for one or two weeks and see if you still like it. This way you won't have to buy a whole gallon of paint you don't like and you can still change your mind befor the whole room is painted. Hope this helps:)

Florida college essentials?




star813


So this coming fall I'm going to be going to FGCU. I'm from New England so i really don't know what to expect it to be like down there really. the most ive spent down there was a week and a half. all i know is that its going to be hot. do you have any suggestions for clothes or anything really in general for college. this is my first year so im kind of really lost. any piece of advice would help. thanks!!


Answer
Average temperatures for Fort Myers, FL according to weather.com:
January: High 75 and low 54
February: High 77 and low 56
March: High 80 and low 59
April: High 85 and low 63
May: High 89 and low 69
June: High 92 and low 74
July:High 92 and low 75
August: High 92 and low 75
September: High 91 and low 74
October: High 87 and low 69
November: High 81 and low 62
December: High 77 and low 56

That being said, it is pretty warm there but can be chilly. Pack according to the weather. Shorts, dresses, skirts, capris, a few pairs of jeans, tank tops, tee shirts, light jackets, sweats and hoodies to sleep in (the dorms can get pretty chilly and sometimes you have no control over the temperature). As far as shoes goes pack flip flops and sandals, tennis shoes for rainy days or working out, heels if you wear them, boots/booties if you wear those, and rain boots for rainy days.

As far as school supplies go, you won't need everything like high school. Obviously you'll need a laptop and its charger. A bookbag or tote to carry your books in to class. I would also recommend a flashdrive. If you like taking noes by hand, rather than on your computer, then you will need loose leaf notebook paper, composition books, or spiral notebooks. And of course don't forget pens and pencils. I also enjoyed having a 3 ring binder for every class, but some people don't like them at all or they use one binder for more than one class. I you are going to take notes, then 1" inch, maybe 2", will be plenty big enough but if you only plan on putting handouts in it then a 1/2" to 1" will suffice. I would also suggest investing in a 3 hole punch and stapler because some professors don't hole punch handouts and many don't have one in their classroom. There are other items you might want to consider, such as a planner, highlighters, sheet protectors, hole reinforcers, etc. but all of that is really preference.

If you are living in the dorms, check on the website to see if there are certain things they don't allow in the dorms. Also check to see the size of your bed. Most dorms require Twin XL bedding, but my friends' dorm only required Twin bedding. You may also want to wait on getting bigger items until you talk to your roommate because you can decide who is bringing what. Items you may want to decide between are a mini fridge, microwave, and TV. You can also decide if one or both of you are going to bring a coffee pot, toaster, and printer.

Other items you may want to consider is storage, since dorm rooms are small. You can consider big tubs that can fit under your bed, stacked plastic shelves, small bins for your desk, and trunks for the bottom of your bed. You may want some food for the room to snack on, as well as drinks or bottled water. And don't forget plates, spoons, and forks (plastic/paper is probably the best). You'll need clothes hangers for your clothes and you may want an ironing board and iron. Don't forget your laundry basket and washing powders either. Medicine is also a huge thing not to forget - consider pain reliever, Pepto, eyedrops, contact solution, etc. Bedroom decor is also probably a big thing you will want to invest in.

Graffiti or paint splatter bedroom decor?




Idiot kid


Looking for decor for my bedroom has become a NIGHTMARE.
I can't find anything I'm looking for.
I want an artistic/slightly urban style.
I want a bedspread mostly, and other room essentials, like lamps, curtains, etc. with a paint splatter or graffiti, perhaps, or something along that style.
But I'm having no luck finding anything.
Does anyone know where I can find something like this?
Like a link to a website?



Answer
try this site, they have alot of themed rooms, I believe they also give the names where the items can be found.
