bedroom decor elle image
Emily
I am redecorating my room and I need some help. I'm a teenager and so I don't want my room to be gloomy. I'm really bad at thinking outside of the box and I really want my room to look amazing. It also needs to be organized and efficient. So can you please answer with ten things that would make up an amazing room?
Thank you so much for your time
Answer
1. Old postcards (I have them up in my room and they look very cool, you can buy them at markets or second hand shops)
2. Big bed with lots of throws and comfy looking textiles
3. Little pieces of you! Collect things over time that you like and fill your room with things that reflect you
4. Plain white display shelves with Letters on them live these http://www.lushlee.com/images/home-accessories/09/02/love-wooden-letters.jpg you can buy them to spell out any word you want!
5. Match your storage system, whatever it is whether you store things in boxes or baskets make them all the same or a mix of things that match nicely!
6. Pinup boards are great for pinny up to do list or work I have one about my desk!
7. Wall sticker quick, impermanent and fun way to decorate walls (an example http://www.lushlee.com/images/wall-floor-decor/09/9/ferm-living-wall-stickers.jpg)
8. Random cool things (if you have space) like a bar fridge, or game machine- even a really cool chair (I have a vintage television in my room)
9. Old picture frames are great you can do things like this http://www.lushlee.com/images/wall-floor-decor/09/3/wall-art-display.jpg or this http://www.designwonderland.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Elle-ecor-Bedroom-White1.jpg
10. HAVE FUN! Make it personal make it your space somewhere where you love to be!
11. Fairy lights and lanterns

I need to figure out what carpet color and wall color to use in my Master Bedroom, HELP!?
Andi
The problem is that I have white and Emerald green Marble tiles (similar to this http://khetanmarble.com/images/marble/big/Emerald_Green.jpg ) in the master bathroom and the bedspread I bought a year ago is deep reds with some gold mixed in. Similar to this but deeper and more variation in the reds... http://www.patches7hillsmall.com/images/38598.jpg
I really like the idea of a green carpet about this color (mostly we were looking at colors similar to W050 on this chart but I like the idea of going darker with a rich deep emerald green http://www.currentcarpets.com/3349/chart-large.jpg), but then what color would I do the walls?!? What about a deep royal navy blue for the carpet? I just do not want browns or whites... I need color! But I thought red would be too much. Ugh, I'm so confused.
Would an emrald green make it look to Christmassy??
Answer
oof! Yes, sorry... emerald, blue and red does sound a bit circus-y.
How about this....
I don't know how much you invested into your bedspread, but how about replacing it or purchasing a duvet cover for it?
The safest bet would be to go to a library (or bookstore) and look at magazines like House & Garden, Elle Decor, and Architechtural Digest which seem to be most likely to show that kind of floor and match your style. Look for photos that you like and contain that dark green. They don't have to be an exact match to your space, but it can help you decide on colors that will go together, and you can then work off of the photo to accessorize.
I've done this successfully in my own home. When i redid my bedroom, i pulled pictures out of design magazines and put them onto a board. I discovered from this what colors i liked, and i chose two photos (one of a bedroom focusing on the bed, and another of a dresser), to use as a guide when i shopped for paint, bedding, lamps, and a dresser, and then when i set up the room i used them again for pillow placement and accessorizing the dresser. It was fun to do it this way.
