zebra bedroom decor ideas image
Cassidy B
my bedroom is zebra and like hot pink... do you have any ideas?
Answer
Make your own artwork using paints and similar sized pieces of cardboard. Hang black & white photos or posters in frames. If they are different sizes, just make sure that the frames are all the same color (black or silver for instance). You can get inexpensive frames at your local dollar stores. Maybe solid color curtains and throw pillows for your bed in various shades of pink? IKEA has a neat set of sheer curtains in a dark pink that just pops, and also carries various decor pieces (bowls, candle holders and candlesticks) in various shades of pink.

Answer
Before anyone can help with specifics, you need to have a theme or color scheme in mind. Since you do not, that should be your first priority. Some links to help with picking a theme for your room:

http://www.digsdigs.com/60-cool-teen-bedroom-design-ideas/

If you do not see anything that you like on one of these, then you can do a basic web search for "teen bedroom themes" and go from there.
What I would suggest that you do is to take a moment or two and make a list of your likes and dislikes style-wise, your two favorite colors, and the things that are important to you (family, friends, music, etc.). You'll also want to note whether you are a girly-girl, a tom-boy or somewhere in-between the two. These things can help you identify your style. Then it becomes a simple matter of finding a theme that incorporates a good portion of the things on your list. You may want to get started on this and get it finalized soon, so that the parents know what to get paint and bedding wise.
Some other sites that can help are:
For paint & color applications: www.sherwin-williams.com
Hip/trendy bedding & wall art: www.target.com (Seriously, look before you laugh - You will be surprised!)
Area rugs, lamps/lighting & decor items: www.ikea.com/us
Wall murals: www.greatbigcanvas.com
Finally, some advice that is more my personal opinion than fact:
Avoid hot pink or lime green and zebra print - It's overdone and you want to be unique, right?
A style/theme that is subdued and elegant is something that can evolve as you mature. Just because it's fashionable now doesn't mean it will be a year from now. Your aim should be something that grows with you. An easy one to pull off is black & white plus your favorite color for accent pieces or monochromatic (black, gray, white with one accent color): There are so many interesting black & white patterned bedding sets and many black & white photo posters available on-line and in stores that it is really easy to customize.
Be subtle/sedate with the color you choose for your walls. It is far easier to accent with neon-bright colors in accessories, decor items, bedding items etc (and easier on the eyes) than it would be to live and sleep in a screaming pink or hyper lime colored room.
Good luck, have fun and I hope that you end up with a great room!
