Q. my mom has said i can re decorate my room as long as i buy all the paint etc but to be honest i havent got a clue, if i was left to do it on my own i would probably just go and buy some paint, and wack it all on the wall. but it cant be as easy as that can it :s so can anyone tell me like what different things i'd need to buy and how to go about painting my room?
Answer
Don't worry! It really CAN be that easy if you're decorating a small kid's room! However, if you're doing a big makeover on a teens room, especially a girl's, it can require a bit more planning!
First off, get a theme or colour scheme. For example, you could decorate your room in a shabby-chic style or maybe a more glamorous movie-star theme! It's up to You! If you don't want a theme then just get a colour scheme. Say, bright candy-apple green and lollipop pink! This can look AMAZING! This is a website with lots of different themes. Just click on the themes in the top left-hand corner for inspiration!

Move around your furniture if you think it will look better with, say, the bed under the window and your desk near the door.Now buy your bedding, paint, and curtains, as these can really change a room! Buy bedding that either matches your paint or is in a coordinating colour. Look at these websites or Google around for ideas and pictures!

You colud paint all your walls, just one accent wall behind the bed, (This is what I did in my room! :D ) or you could do stripes or wallpaper! It's up to you!
Once you've got your basics, do the really fun part. Shopping! Bring a friend if you like and go to lots of different shops. Try to look out for...
Beanbags,
Floor cushions,
Mirrors,
Wall Art,
Cute Furniture like trunks that you can store stuff in!
Lamps,
A cool headboard,
An area or accent rug (This is quite important!)
And stuff like that.
Display medals & trophies you've won, framed school papers, photos and general treasures to personalise your room. Have fun and enjoy it and don't forget Fairy Lights!

I have no idea how to do my room?

I'm really into the whole shabby chic look and romantic with a big bed and white furniture and candles everywhere but I also love more modern unique looks such as an all white room/floor with a colored ceiling and bright decor.... it depends on my mood some days I love yellow and others dark red or black. what do I do?
or how do I make a canopy like this?

Shabby chic is fun and can be versitile. If you have bedroom furniture already,Its very easy 2 be shabby,. You will needa few things 2 get started I have a pine bedroom set, I startewd by lightly sanding, washed it all down with TSP, washed it down with plain h2o (rinsed) Took a candle and rubbed it in diffedrent areas , then painted it I used white , you cvoyuld use a lite pink or somewthing light (sorry about my typing Ive had surgery on my hand latley , sometimes its not worth the time 2 go back + fix it!!.Hope u dont mind)Anyway let yourpaint dry + go over your items with fine sand paper,It will take the paint off the areas u put the candle,Its very easy + gives u a major change.yOU CAN change up the hadrware by repacing it or paint itOr use , Some old jewlry youll have a new room in no ti me .On your mood days My suggestion is 2 have double sided window treatment,or4 yor windows only use 1/2 + a valance,or 1/2 no valance, or valabnce only.. pilloews can change any room , havce a bunch of them strewn about(2sided) undfer ur window, on the bed ,stacked ???neverendind possiubilities(againSorry about my sloppiness) Have fun with your roomn!! U say a colored ceilig?? Paint over lace,,o9r black + white cherkers The canopy ius easy!!! Put 8 hooks in you ceiling I suggest using Plant hooks. + Put r4ivets in corners of the material your using! u go girl
