Redoing my room?

lilvolley7

I have a small room, and it is currently painted a dark blue, this makes the room look much smaller than it is. So we are painting it aqua blue, and I am going to have hot pink accents. We are also putting a shelve up on 3 walls, (about a foot down from the ceiling.) This is where I will put my 450 books!!! I was just wondering if anyone has any ides for decorating, or ways to save space. Pictures are appreciated!!!!
I used to have a loft bed, but it was getting hard to climb up into it. I now have a storage bed, which has a bookshelf as a head board, and three drawers under it.

If you want your room to look bigger, I guess you should get white furniture! It makes the room look "cleaner"...
You could hang upon the wall cube shelves... You can place photo frames, books and nice stuff in them.. I love cube shelves.. They´re so modern! Check this out:

Also, to keep your room organized, you can buy some storage boxes to keep your small stuff... They´re decorative and cute!!
I really like this color scheme, aqua and pink! But I think it may look kinda "childish"... Try to add some lime accents also... I guess it would give a more funky look to you room....
Get some decorative pillows to throw on the bed.. It´ll look very nice!!
Some accessories suggestions:

Why do renters put light colored carpet in rentals...?

mudpuppie_

that they know they will be renting out to people with children and pets? I have NEVER rented a home with carpet that wasn't so light it was begging to be stained or soiled. I know that as an adult I am expected to be clean and responsible with my rental and I try very hard. Inevitably however my children drop something (silly putty, glue, a cupcake or a sippy cup with juice in it) or track dirty feet or sit on a dirty butt on the floor. Then I have to clean the carpet which makes it look old. It almost seems that landlords place this light carpet in their rental just to snag your deposit. Is that the case?

Answer
The reasons that landlords use light colored carpets in rental units are many. As noted earlier by others, light colored carpets make rooms look larger. Also, light, neutral colors go well with just about any decor... renters are happier if their brown, blue, tan, orange, green, chartreuse (pick any color) doesn't clash with the carpets.

Finally... but of lesser importance, you're right... light color carpet shows the dirt and stains better. Agreeably, most renters do a good job of taking care of the place... cleaning up after themselves and such... but those few "bad" renters tend to ruin things for everyone... partying and puking... and otherwise trashing the place. Some landlords anyway... at least reputable ones... understand the perils of raising kids and pets, and realize how accidents really are inevitable... and they tend to know their properties too, and have kind of "pro-rated" the carpet; they have a good grasp of how long they can reasonably expect the cheap, ten year rated carpet to last.

As renters, folks should document (with photos, etc.) the condition of the apartment when they sign the agreement, and get the landlord to buy into that. Then if both parties keep signed copies, you can more readily come to an agreement about deposit money with the landlord with that kind of documentation. And... even if you can't reach an agreement with the landlord, you'd stand a much better chance of getting a favorable outcome in small claims court. - for "how long did the landlord expect his cheap, ten year carpeting to last in a rental?"
