I am getting bored with my old bold green room, I am looking for a newer, cheap, and modern look.

A lot depends on what the girls like. Are they into sports or still in the girly look? It is always a good idea to have a place for makeup and desks for working so can you find a place to work them in? Might even have bunk beds to be able to get more floor space for desk. If you can do 2 desks so each girl has their own area, they can double as computer and homework place and also makeup spot. but each girl needs her own. Maybe even check out dorms and build it more like a college dorm. There they have 2 twin beds and then usually 2 desks, one for each and a closet each. That is about all that goes in a room. A book shelf or even a hutch over the desk is good to put keepsakes and books and supplies. You may be able to pick up desks and huth at a consignment store or a thrift store. I got mine there at the senior center thrift store. You might be able to let them share a printer if the desks are side by side or you have a wireless printer (wireless not in electric but in connection to computer. If girls are going to collee, as they near it you might consider a laptop for each. Some families like to keep the computer in a family area rather than bedrooms though because of the stuff on the internet and they can monitor them.
As to colors, you can keep walls neutral and decoraete using posters or prints. No more princess stuff for teens, but do include fluffy pillows for the beds. If there is space, separate rooms is nice for teir friends to visit.
You can even do a diagonal line across two opposing walls and paint one side one color and one use the diagonal lines to divide the colors and the colors extend for their side only. Then soften it with curtains that pick up both colors and also using posters or framed prints on the walls to break it up. Can do the same with neutral walls. There are also stencils you can put around the top of a room. I did some roses and purple star flwoers with green leaves and it was like an arbor almost and the kids called the room the rose room or the princess room as they felt like princesses in there. But walls were white. I had spreads with big red peonies that almost looked like roses and it had purple star flowers and green leaves so the roses which were very full, looked almost like the spreads and I used red and purple and green in the room. The carpet was even white and I used wool oriental rugs by the bed and a stained glass lamp shade with roses and a Grecian girl brass base. Had to call it the rose room when any of the fewer boys ame to stay. Or let the girls stay there and the boys could stay on sofa or in the big blue big chairwith ottoman. Unfortunaately we have downsized now and don't have all the space we did then as we went to a small cottage and a mobile home. But you might find a stencil the girls like and put it on the walls, either in random patterns or as a border at the top or even dropped down a bit as mine was. I did the stencils around and then did just the roses and no star flowers about every 3rd one above it as it needed soemthing else. I hope I have photos someplace. I haven't caught up with photos since they went into storage.
Good luck in finding something lovely and feminine and yet very practical for the girls.

What are the best themes for a 13 year-old girl's room re-do?
Sabrina S.
I have to redecorate a 13 year-olds room is there any common uncommon themes? NO pink she hates it, so not anything girly-girly.
Answer
you could paint her waslls spring green and get her a white bed set with purple sorta hawian looking flowers all over it (i saw it at target and is definetly not very girly but very nice looking). get all of her dressers white and if you are going to buy her a mirror get her a full body mirror with a small design of white vines and flowers on the corner (i saw it at ikea yeaterday for only 10 dollars). you could also but a fake purple flower in a vase on top of one dresser. get her curtains a nice cream color to match the walls. if you can get her a bean bag chair to (in a spring green color, white, or lavender color) then get a little bench where her window is (if you can) for her to put pictures and decoration on top of it. also take her shopping for the rest of the decorations she wants. but don't buy something without her approval of it also make sure it's cheap you don't wanna blow a fortune on her room! i'm 13 and i think this room would be of her liking because there isn't pink in it, it's a nice fresh style that can sorta fit any season and not very girly (the flowers i saw on the bed set look really nice but not girly). buy most of her furniture at ikea though they have great stuff at great prices lol. i think her room would look AMAZING the way i'm picturing this decor in my head lol.
