vintage/hollywood/pop art themed bedroom?

70s style bedroom decor image

hellofashi

my room is in some need of.. redecorating. i know what i want to do and what i want in my room but i can't really.. place it all. i have hardwood floors, white painted wood furniture (dresser, desk, bed framee, and nightstand), and i have a cheetah print duvet.

now i either want my walls a bright aqua color, or a vintage-y dustylavenderr color.

i have a huge obsession with the 1900's, all of the eras, even the 90's. but my love out of all is the 50s-80s. really, the 60's and 70s.. but i'm aiming for all of those.. the vintage hollywood theme of the 50s, and the psychedelic pop art theme of the 60's and 70's.

i want to get posters of andy warhol's art - my favorite artist of all time - and maybe get some of the beatles (possibly the warhol poster), and some other vintage rock posters. i also want am planning on getting some cute little accessories and novelty items from places like fred flare and urban outfitters.

so tell me, do you like this idea, what color do you think i should paint my room, where can i get some warhol art, and what color curtains should i get?

eeeeeeeep help!

Which style should I decorate my new bedroom?

I've had my own apartment here on the beach for a while now and I love it. Due to some extremely unfortunate circumstances, I'm moving back in with my parents next month. It's only 10 minutes away from the beach, but still, I'll miss being right across the street.
Anyways, I have a wide variety of styles I like. And the western/horse theme I had going on before isn't cutting it for me anymore. I'm considering a few things:

1. Beach theme- the walls would be painted a light blue and an off white. I'd put in white furniture. I think this theme might make me feel more 'at home' because this beach truly feels like my home now. And the decor might be reminiscent of this- http://cache-images.pronto.com/thumb2.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.pronto.com%2Fimages%2Fproduction%2Fproducts%2Ff0%2Fcd%2Fhome937d6a95a3ea3f5962be0d47d9c9-1270899898_560x407.jpg&wmax=180&hmax=180&quality=80&bgcol=FFFFFF


2. Dark Red/Orange- Orange is my favorite color by far and I'd love to be surrounded by it. I'd paint the walls a deep reddish orange and put some dark cherry wood furniture in OR put in some wrought iron furniture and give it a Mediterranean feel. I love Mediterranean architecture and decor. This picture really inspires me, particularly the wine rack on the wall, although the color of my walls would be a much more rich red/orange - http://s3.hubimg.com/u/736506_f496.jpg


3. Retro/Car Theme- I've always thought I was born in the wrong decade. I'm 18 and have a nice vinyl collection. I'm also a HUGE car fan and when I was in high school ceramics I made some actually awesome pieces that could go into a retro room. Mostly including 57 Chevy Bel airs, 50s-2010 Corvettes (including the 70s stingray) and 60s-2010 mustangs (excluding the fox body and 90s crap stangs XD). Think - http://imagecache6.allposters.com/LRG/8/881/SAYJ000Z.jpg I'd also display my record collection and maybe make a wall piece out of records. This idea just seems a little more juvenile to me and I'm not sure what colors I'd paint the walls or what furniture pieces I'd get.

Those are the ideas at the top of my list. What's your opinion?
Me calling them "crap stangs" was not at all ignorant. It's my personal opinion, and my not liking the fox bodies or the 90s mustangs doesn't make me ignorant. I'm free to express my opinion and you're free to express yours, but it's not cool to put someone down for their opinion.

Answer
The beach theme would be appropriate since you are only 10 minutes away from the beach. You can even get some materials for decor or crafts while walking on the seaside. I also like the Mediterranean look but painting the four walls orange is not up to my taste. Anyway,the final decision is really up to you because you're the one who will be living in it.
