Answer
As our family has recently moved, I am decorating my new room in an ocean theme. We had taken a trip to California last fall and I fell in love with the ocean (even more so than I had every other time I had been out there.) We drove up the PCH (Pacific Coastal Highway), through Malibu and many other breathtaking places. When we reached our destination, my fondest memories are just of us sitting on the beach watching the waves crash onto shore. That is what I am going to attempt to recreate in my room, but I am still looking for ideas from others who have done this. Most other rooms I've seen have either underwater ocean themes (mostly kids rooms), or they do an ocean themed room with just solid wall colors. I want to create an ocean-like experience on at least one wall. You can usually pick up ocean-like nicknacks at garage sales or thrift stores.
My advice: Pick out a favorite place, whether it's an ocean or in the heart of New York City, and if you have large enough walls, there are usually wall-murals you can buy. (I had one in my old room.) That way when you enter your room, you feel as if you are in your favorite place.

Beach Theme Decorating?

Agent 007

I always get depressed around wintertime. So, Ive started to redecorate my bedroom like one you would find in a beach house. Specifically, these are the rooms I'm trying to imitate, on opposite sides of the same vacation beach house:

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z415/obxbeachgoer/blueroom.jpg The master BR, looking out over the beach. Decorations were minimal because the main focal point is the beach outside the window, which I obviously do not have in my home.

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z415/obxbeachgoer/bluestreetside.jpg Another blue room facing the street. Again, minimal decorations, no candles/fragrances, and lots of air conditioning.

How can I get the look of these rooms without any major renovations/ furniture changes?

Answer
You need to stick to a beach theme color palette. Think of sea glass. http://quovadisblog.com/2009/01/13/sea-glass/

Use these colors coupled with a sand tone on the floor and windows. Add elements like bamboo or straw shades. Soft sea glass in a large hurricane vase with a star fish. Make a sand castle from plaster of paris and put sand on it. http://www.myweddingfavors.com/castle-centerpiece.html

For fabric on the windows and for a decorative pillow and throw think Burlap it adds a wonderful tactile feeling to the room and keeps with the natural coloring. The material is very important http://thelennoxx.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/potterybarn.jpg

Frames painted in your secondary color with over sized mats in your neutral and shadow boxed beach items such as coral, cattail, reeds. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwkC4xvaVuQvcWyVn4uvlI0yRLQkNkwAohIV8tBhNaKASN7ihM-yWpW_W07eZ_T3aVBH5I5EUj1f_vlKCbUa4nsx_anjLayPBmGsICor3FF_WKoEBNh6WR1AxQwXDEGeYDGB84hpyWPlU/s400/playroom-kids-wall-art.jpg

The room should "feel" soft and subtle http://lh5.ggpht.com/_t8-Y4w1UKrc/TJ2ZGZjCMgI/AAAAAAAA43I/4Nsezx7KeT4/image_thumb%5B26%5D.png?imgmax=800
And have a touch of vintage shabby to it. http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/images/bedroom4-de.jpg

Bedroom decor ideas.?

Bronwyn

I am in a small unit and want to redecorate my bedroom. The walls are white and I have wood panel floors. So far I have a white bedspread with a Raspberry throw across the end of the bed and raspberry and white patterned pillows. I think the whole room needs more but I am not sure what to do to add a bit more interest to the room. What colour bed skirt do you think I should have as I am thinking a Raspberry colour may be too overwhelming. Also would introducing touches of lime green be too radical? What sort of rug should I have as well and what type of furniture? (White or woodgrain?). Your suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Answer
oooh i love your ideas so far, im currently in the middle of redecorating my bedroom so im in decor mode (and getting excited for christmas decorating isn't helping either!), any whom depending on what "raspberry" is to you (more red, or more dark/bright pink?) i think accent colors that would work best are; medium bright blue, lime green, or even dark purple. depending on your age and your taste i think you would be happier with purple or blue in the long run (they are a little more mature and will age better) also, for furniture i think that wood grain is the better choice because it comes in many different colors, styles and you can always re stain old furniture to suit a new style. white is more juvenile and it harder to keep clean. for a rug i would go with your accent color, maybe shag..... just a few ideas, hope you like them!

Bedroom decor?

Any ideas on how to decorate this on a TIGHT budget? I'm open to all suggestions on colors, themes, etc.:) Details appreciated.
My bedroom : hardwood floors, no furniture yet. Off white walls (can paint), White doors and trim. Two tall, narrow windows. About 7 or 8 feet tall, start about two feet off floor and about 4 inches from ceiling. Pretty small. We have a queen size bed and after that there is probably enough room for say, a dresser and desk and then a bit left to walk through. Not much space at all. Just looking for some fresh, creative ideas from people instead of websites:)

Answer
Well how about visiting your local budget store (like Walmart or Target if in the US) and look for side wicker tables. They are usually cheaper. I would go with White.
Then pick a fresh clean color for your walls. Like spa blue or light lemon yellow.
Get a white down comforter and white sheets. You can find these for cheap at budget stores.
Find a throw blanket in the color of your walls and fold at the edge of bed for a splash of color. Get white curtains. Find a lamp that goes well with the walls and also a canvas painting to hang right above the bed. (Target has some very cute canvas paintings for all color themes -some under $20).
It depends on what YOU like obviously. But on a tight budget- you can do a crisp clean Summer Spa room for very little money. Set a couple colored candles on a dresser and just give your room an airy feel.
I would skip any kind of carpet or rug altogether. Hardwood floors are the BEST.
As for bed. Just get a bed frame (especially if you hang a painting above the bed) and mattress. To give the bed more feel - add loads of pillows instead.
