Basement Bedroom Decor.?

Kate

I have a Bedroom in the basement down at my dad's and it is kinda "Blah" and i wanna make it more relax instead of just white walls and the paint they have up now is peeling off the wall. Is there a special type of pain i need to get to cover the cement brick walls? What colors should i do, im not into light colors but i like vibrant colors. I have a cherry queen set bedroom suit down there now and i want that to go with the theme/decor of the room too. Im also into the black and white photos in the frames with the overhead light on them. I don't have a big budget to do this room on so nothing to pricey please


Thank you,
Kate

Answer
First you have use a scraper and wire brush to remove the old flaking paint, then wash the walls with a scrub brush using ammonia and a squeeze of dishsoap in a bucket of water. (tsp-tri sodium phosphate works best but ammonia/dish soap works great and saves you some money)
You have to use a primer/sealer before you paint, the best primer for brick
aaaww sorry...reading thru your questions I see you never pick an answer

ps. DO NOT use exterior paint indoors

Wall art for minimalist bedroom?

K N

I'm changing my bedroom decor to nearly all-white and minimalist. Only the floor is dark hardwood, and I have colorful bedding. The rest (furniture and walls) is all pure white. I would like to hang an art print over my headboard, but it's a relatively small print: horizontally it's about 43'' x 31''. Considering there will be a white gap between my headboard and the print, there will be about 59'' of blank wall left over the print before the ceiling.
Do you think I should hang a larger/taller piece of wall art to fill all that blank space, or is it going to look fine with the one I have?

Answer
You have too much open white space on your wall. Find something you like that is much larger to put on your wall. Something that fills the open space and will look better . Look for a larger picture to fit the wall correctly = ).
