Bedroom design/flooring?

TheDude

Hey there,

We're building a house and I'm trying to figure out what flooring I should have in my room. I have a white wooden bed, turquoise and mint green walls, and black and white Victorian style bed sheets and decor. Wood would be too expensive so I'm going for tile, no carpet either. I can't decide what to choose. A friend suggested that I choose black tile..but I think that would be too harsh against the light walls and light furniture. My mother suggested tile that has some grey in it. Basically I'm completely lost and have no idea what would look good.

Thanks for the help

Answer
Mother is right - you don't want black. Not only does it become monolithic, but it also shows up every spec of dust anywhere.

Take a look into bamboo flooring - on sale, it can be reasonably priced and give you the warm look of wood. A nice dark brown would be great with your colors. If you cannot swing that, look at some of the sheet vinyl or even commercial tile colors. That sounds tacky, but if you choose the right color, it can blend nicely with a couple of small area rugs.

If your family is going to stay in the house, that is one thing - but if they could be selling this house in the next five or ten years, they should really consider doing a wooden floor - bamboo at minimum. They don't want one room to make or break a sale, and something as obvious as that could make a difference.

Answer
Red Black and White is a great color scheme for a bedroom. If you would like to add a splash of exotic color to your walls, or if you would like some really awesome black and white abstract prints; there is a man on Maui who has taken some really awesome photos he is offering for sale. These photos can be printed and framed to match your chosen decor. Check out what is being offered and buy early for the holidays.

10 year old boys room makeover...?

Zoe Marie

Can you tell me some awesome room ideas for a 10 year old boys room. My husband and I are thinking about building him a loft bed like the one on the t.v. show Drake and Josh. Any other ideas are very much welcome and appreciated!! Thanks!

Answer
At ten, you could really get into spending some money. So you really want to avoid the whole "theme" thing and go at it as a bedroom. With furniture that can be used as he gets older and be changed up with just bedding and paint.

The loft bedding sounds cool. I immediately thought of the one with the desk set below, and the bed above. It would be great and he wouldn't outgrow it any time soon. Currently it could be used for homework and his art projects, and later could be used for his computer and such.

A cool paint job around the room, like a stripe or something would be cool for him. There are a couple of places that have some great bedding options. Of course Pottery Barn Kids/teens comes to mind. As does the Company Store. Love their selection. Both of those places also have corresponding accesories like rugs, bulletin boards, cushions, curtains, things like that. Needless to say the Company store is cheaper. However, if you fall in love with something at Pottery Barn, buy the must haves now, then check their clearance department on line frequently. You can often find the matching pieces 50 to 75 % off.

Not to be forgotten for cool items in his room is Target. They take a bit to hit the trend, but soon enough will have some cool accessories in the colors that you choose.

With a throw rug, and a padded stool in the color of the curtains for the desk, maybe a bean bag for hanging out.
Pick up the Magnet/Erase board at like Sam's to hang on the wall behind the desk. Tape off the stripe for the paint. And he's got a really cool room that he will love and be able to stay in for many years. The organizational items you can pick up from all the above mentioned places all the way to Lillian Vernon, or Lillian Vernon Kids. He'll continue to grow into it. As he gets older, wait out the college sales until they have marked down the things that didn't sell to nothing, and you are set.

I just know he's going to love having a "big boy" room. And you'll love it not breaking the bank.

Good Luck!!!
