How to decorate my room in a surfer girl style?

girls bedroom decorating on a budget image

I was browsing thru pbteen.com and saw a great idea for a bedroom theme. I will be moving in two weeks into a new apartment and was looking for themes.

These are the two themes I'd like to work with:

and

I'm no teen, in fact I am 25 y/o (lol), but I like the simplicity of these rooms and would like to decorate my bedroom the same way.

Any ideas on how I can follow this theme without having to actually buy the stuff at pottery barn teens? Their stuff is amazing but over my budget. I like the surfboard bed most esp, but find the actual bed featured too expensive.

If you can actually name shops and websites where I can browse for products, it would be great.

Specific ideas for accent pieces would be great.

Thanks!

I did my bedroom in a nautical style and used a paddle for the valance, draping fish net around and down the sides of the window for a "curtain". You could get a old surfboard with a missing fin for the bed backboard or valance. You don't want the fin on it anyway. You can get fish net by the foot at a marine store. I tea dyed mine to make it look old. I used a sea shell wallpaper border at the top of the walls and ragged them in a sea foam green tones. World market would be a good shopping place for nautical stuff to compliment your theme.

Must haves for a sophisticated and elegant teen girl's bedroom?

I am about to begin the process of moving into a new house, I have always shared a room with my younger brother but now that we are purchasing a three bedroom i finally have the opportunity to decorate and grow up a little. I want my room to be elegant and beautiful, I would love it if you could give me some personal opinions on color pallet, and needs to reach my goal. I am on a budget so DIY and cheapness will not get you marked down haha. I am 16 and would really love all of your help. At the moment i was thinking either a very light pink, or a grey oyster color. I am just not quite sure. Please help!!
Love,
Loco

Pink & gray to together nicely, and the gray makes pink look more sophisticated.

I say the best thing you can do is just look at a lot of inspiration rooms, find one you like, and then steal ideas from it, lol.

I like this website for pics:
