Any ideas for a vintage chic bedroom?

bedroom decor orange image

Q. I'm 14 and moving house soon. When I decorate my room, I want it really different and chic. I like 'vintage' style things, such as urban outfitter themed decor. I don't want a huge amount of pink. I like the idea of blues. I want one wall to be bright and the others plain. I like things clean cut and simple. Does anyone have any interesting colour themes that i could use or just any tips overall?

Answer
WOW.. i'm impressed! U'r 14 & u know what u what. Not too many do. So when u'r talking the "urban outfitter" I'm not quite sure where u'r heading. R u heading for the 50-60's look or what? As far as blues... for the 50-60 look u can go w/ blu/gr or gr/bl almost like turquoise. IF u WANT the pink, then put PINK tones as in pillows/frames/lamps things like that. I did my friend's 2 grls rooms but they wanted something brighter but I used mocha br along w/ pink & pinky/blu... it really came out kewl. The trends back then were 50's more pink/turquoise/black/white/red then moved into the turquoise/orange/browns/lime greens. I would love to help u if u want to e me. (kadullade@yahoo.com) I love decorating esp for kids/teens.

How can I balance out the orange/peach color of my bedroom?

sugarbulle

I live with my parents, my mom painted my room this orange/peach color. It is my least favorite color and I have dealt with it for years. I can't have it painted, but I hate looking at it. If you have any creative ways in which I can deal with this (besides the obvious ones such as not looking at it), please share.

Thanks.

Answer
Get a comforter that compliments the color.

What would be a good decor scheme for a bedroom shared by 3 year old girl and baby boy?

We're having a baby boy and for the time being (until we get a bigger place) my 3 year old daughter and he will share a room. My daughter already has everything decked out in pink and full of princess accessories. I haven't bought my crib set or anything like that for my boy yet. How could I have them share a room and have it all tie in together so it doesn't look like one side is for a boy and one for a girl? I'm also looking for relativley affordable options, since they will probably only share for one year at the most. And my paint options are limited. I would have to go with something nuetral so I can easily paint it back to white before we move again, or maybe put up a border to dress up the walls.

Answer
Try a nature theme. Blues, pinks, purples, greens and yellows with rainforest animals, farm life or underwater life is gender non specific. These themes will "grow up" with your kids and not be outdated in a few years.

Anyone have any creative ideas involving housing a family of four in a two-bedroom apartment?

sweet_suns

There are two adults and two children (ages 8 and 6) in the family, and I'm looking for a cteative way to house us in a two-bedroom apartment. Since I have one girl and one boy, each has one bedroom right now, and my boyfriend and I sleep on a futon in the living room and I share the closet with my daughter, he shares the one in my son's room. It's nice for the kids because they each have a fairly large room to themselves, but my boyfriend and I don't have much privacy! I'm trying to think of other ways to make the situation work....and we're looking at another apartment, also with only 2 bedrooms (because getting a three-bedroom where we live is very difficult and it costs almost twice as much as a two-bedroom!). Anwyay, this new apartment we're considering has one of it's bathrooms in the master bedroom, which means whichever kid gets that room will get the bathroom and the other three of us will have to share the remaining bathroom. Is there another way we could set things up?
We like where we live (a block from the beach) and don't want to move to another area!! :P
I really don't feel it's appropriate for an 8 year old girl and a 6 year old boy to be sharing a room (in fact, in some states, it's illegal, if I'm not mistaken!)

Answer
Yes, I know it's taboo and you may be giving them ideas that they can do what you and your boyfriend do. On the assumption that you and your boyfriend are their parents then you can use the, mommies and daddies sleep in the same room concept or you don't do this until you're reached age ___. I don't like the idea of room sharing/division in such a skewed way as you're suggesting with a master bathroom.

You can use room partitions or a camping theme and put the kids in the same room. Bunk beds will give it a more camp like theme.

Or, you can use a princess/knight concept. Knights are the protectors of their ladies, therefore there isn't any "weird" message. However, each of their bunks could have curtains or sheers of some sort from modesty.

Or you could blend the two.

You could also have them pretend they are cars from the movie Cars. I don't believe they show any of the Cars sharing a "garage" in the movie.

That's my two cents. Hope it helps.
