bedroom decor neutral image
adagio_75
My 15 year old sister-in-law wants to change her bedroom design from a mostly leopard print theme to techno. I want to help her but I really don't know what techno design for a room would look like. She doesn't have alot of money to completely refurnish the room so items like her leopard print area rug, leopard print lamp shades and picture frames will have to be used. Any ideas or pictures would be great.
Answer
When I think of a techno style bedroom I think of lots of fun bright cheery colors with nice white sleek backdrop. For a techno styled bedroom; you could do a modern look. Go for clean, straight lines if possible. I would go for a white or neutral backdrop with pops of color. If some new furniture pieces are in your budget look for white furniture (bed frame, dresser, desk, nightstand)or you can repurpose old furniture and paint it white. For accessories look for bright colors like orange (for a lamp; canât afford a new lamp you can take an existing lamp, sand it down and spray paint it in an high gloss orange (or whatever bright colors she likes), yellow (picture frames, pillows), and green (pillows, vases for flowers, etc.). If she doesnât like those colors, you can do any color combo that she will like. You can find a cheap/good looking area rug @ Wal-mart in white, but if you donât look for white (or another color) bath rugs and connect them together with carpet tape to make a large area rug. You can also change out the lamp shades for a cheap cost or you can cover existing lamp shades with fabric to match the new room décor. For the walls you can blow up her favorite DJ album covers and frame them; or you can get vector silhouettes of DJâs like this : http://garcya.us/blog/free-dj-vector-graphic-art/ or http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2286211/2/istockphoto_2286211_dj_at_turntable or http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/4306917/2/istockphoto_4306917_dj_silhouette.jpg or http://www.smashingmagazine.com/images/iconsnew/bittbox.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5671904/2/istockphoto_5671904_beach_party.jpg or images like these and have them blown up to put them on the walls. You can also blow up varying silhouettes of dancers and put them on the wall (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5753237/2/istockphoto_5753237_spring_girl.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5768186/2/istockphoto_5768186_just_wanna_have ). Also music notes and headphones (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5481959/2/istockphoto_5481959_grunge_headphones.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5802696/2/istockphoto_5802696_headphones.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5881226/2/istockphoto_5881226_hand_drawn_musik_retro.jpg would be a cool option also. For bedding you can do something simple like white with a bright colored throw and pillows or bright colored bedding with white pillows and one bright colored accent pillow. Also for bedding you can do bedding in a fun solid color and do an image transfer of her favorite DJ or techno image. Hope this gives you a few ideas, good luck :)

What colors walls would look good with cream carpet and dark wood for a very large bedroom ?
Q. I have a king sized bed with a mahogany headboard. I'm not great on decor so I really don't know what to do. Any help would be great. And what about bed spreads and curtains? Any suggestions on color schemes for those?
Answer
Your room is so neutral you can do about anything. It's the black dress thing anything goes with black and you can dress it up or down. So you need to find your style.
Mahogany is very traditional let me throw a few ideas at you and see what works. Sometimes the wisest thing to do is get a solid ivory set and then add accents in throws, vases and pillows that you can alter at will.
This has masculine old english undertones with a bit of a modern lean http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=478180&CategoryID=7502
This is very traditional and the Burgundy is a great undertone on the mahogany http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=411086&CategoryID=7502
This is soft and traditional and the green would go nicely in the room earth tones are very soothing bamboo shades and cream terracotta bowls and vases http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=464604&CategoryID=7502&LinkType=
This is sexier and more feminine the sea blue/green is spa like http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=326263&CategoryID=7502&LinkType= Bronze and copper tones as accents with sea glass will play it up nice.
If you can't decide and need a push in one direction go with the ivory set. http://quiltkrazy.com/product?p=641 And your accents to it and change it for the seasons. Go wil a soft taupe on the wall and you can take this anywhere from purple velvet to pale summer daisys.
