I'm a college kid commuting to school aka still living at home with my parents.

I've recently decided to completely redecorate my room.

Basically after you walk in, the ceiling slants in like a triangle.

The only window in the room is on the opposite side of the door.

The bed is perpendicular to the window.

So far, all I have is strung lights framing the window.

I know I want to do a map of the world on one side of the ceiling with the quote "not all those who wander are lost".

What else should I do to decorate?



Answer
I love the world map and quote idea!

I was going to suggest hanging string lights and drape a sheer sequin curtain in your accent color over the lights on the sloped ceiling cascading down behind your bed http://www.walmart.com/ip/Beacon-Looms-Groovy-Sequin-Interlined-Curtain-Panel/16662997

But since you already framed the window you could hang the sheer sequin curtain on the window.

Swirling flowers decal would look great on the slope above your headboard.

You can get one^ in your fave color, maybe add a couple butterflies ?

Wish I could see a pic of your room/colors : )

Fabric panel/bulletin board on the back of your desk ? and lean against the sloped ceiling.

Easy and inexpensive to make one by wrapping fabric to the back of of a cork panel and staple in place.

You can buy 1/2 yard (18x45") of super cute fabric for $3 at walmart in tons of different patterns/designs in the colors in your room.

Designer frames
Cut two 1 1/2" wide strips of the fabric and wrap two picture frames.

Cut remaining fabric 13x30" and lay across your dresser as a cute runner to tie everything together.
or
Make a cute accent pillow for your bed. Easy to sew with a needle and thread if you can't use a sewing machine.
Cut fabric 13x30"
Fold the fabric in half, in-side-out so the color/print is inside.
Sew 1/2" in, along the edge on the two long sides, leaving the short end open.
Turn pillow cover right-side-out so the color/print is on the outside.
Fill with batting or even with a sweater/shirt you don't wear anymore.
Then sew up the opening.

For a girly touch drape a lighted feather lei over your door mirror. ?

Answer
A big fake tree strung with mini lights adds coziness and romance to any room.
But here is a favorite of mine for your walls. Go to an art supply store and buy a canvas or two in the size you need. Like these:

Then cover them with a fabric that coordinates with your bedding. You can find cheap remnants at a fabric store. Or use decorative paper.
After you cover them, decorate them any way you want....photos, decals, stickers, tassels, feathers, sequins, etc.

When you're finished, they'll look something like these only with your own personal flair (and alot cheaper!)

You could also just paint them a solid color and paint a simple design on them or glue a favorite picture to them.

A cool wall hanging can add lots of personality to a room. See if you like any of these:

Go to a thrift store and buy a simple wooden chair. Then paint it a bright color, hang a cool throw over it or an accent pillow and put it in a corner of your room with some magazines or a pile of books nearby.

If you're artisitic at all, you can use stencils to decorate it with.

Or just make your own stencil from a piece of cardboard and add polka dots or squares to it.

Decals are a great way to easily add some pizazz to your walls.
