What decor/colors would go well with a hunter green/forest green carpet (for a girl)?

Child of C

So my family's moving and I'll be taking the basement as my room. I had originally dreamed of turning into a vibrant, bright room with white walls and carpeting and lots of solid color accents, 'til I found out that the basement has a sort of hunter-ish forest-ish green carpet with a pattern of small sand-ish colored triangles in rows. It's a new carpet so no one wants to spend the money to tear it up and buy a new one, but it's so un-feminine and seems like it'd only accommodate neutral, warm, and muted colors, which I don't really want...
Any idea how I can work with this carpet to make the basement more vibrant and suitable for a girl's room?
Now that I look at pictures of the carpet again it's definitely somewhere between hunter and fern green...ugh.
PLEASE...The emphasis is on "feminine," here! It's already a damn basement, I don't want to feel like I'm living in a cave!

Here are some suggestions for bedding : This one is even on sale http://www.crateandbarrel.com/marimekko-lumimarja-celery-bed-linens/f46407
This would look nice to the side of the bed:http://www.landofnod.com/kids-cotton-rugs/kids-room-decor/chevron-and-on-rug-pink/f10973
Hang some paper lanterns in a corner of the room area.Ue an odd number such as 3 or 5:http://www.lunabazaar.com/paper-lanterns2.aspx?gclid=CK7eoP_Z0rcCFYme4AodqioAFQ
Add white accessories and some dried bamboo in a corner for a natural look . Pier one usually has these.
This would look nice is a big bowl:http://www.yankeecandle.com/detail/pink-sands/1235276
Other ideas:http://cicicrib.com/wordpress/?p=2982 You can still have an almost all white room.Just accent with color or cover the green carpet with a white rug.

How do I decorate my new room?

Okay so my older brother is going to college. He has the biggest room in the house. My parents said when he moves out I can have his room and turn my old room into a hangout place for me and my friends. I am a 16 year old girl. Any ideas for my new room or anything cool to do with my old room to make it a cool hang out for me and my friends. And please don't make it anything expensive, I have a super small budget.

Answer
for the hangout room-how about a Tv (maybe from a second hand shop of some kind), couches, bean bag chairs or floor pillows, cool lighting (fake lanterns, color changing mood lamps, christmas light strings), a game table of some kind (pool, fooseball, hockey), or a table for doing board games and puzzles. maybe a fish tank or a place to keep some other pet like a hamster.

if it isnt carpeted, a nice rug would be nice.

for either room-maybe you want to go with a theme? heres my list fo themes i want to do someday:
underwater
roman
egyptian
asian
princess
tropical
safari
ship/nautical
storm
halloween
tiki
treehouse
desert tent
gothic
jungle temple
castle
forest
beach
cave
east indian
mystic
barn
Train
aztec
1950's art deco/diner décor
Cabin
campsite
Starry night/enchanted forest
Four seasons
Bordello
Arabian/moroccan
Sci-fi
English countryside

for your bedroom-maybe a cosy chair for reading. a nice desk for doing work. maybe a bigger bed? again cool/relaxing lighting.

have fun! rememebr you can make neat decorations or get neat ones from the party store or a dollar store!
