Red walls
My room is a darkish red color and we are renting the house so I can't paint it a different color. It's summer and I want to add some summer flare but I don't exactly know how with the wall color which to me is more of a winter color. I also have zebra print curtains which I don't know if my mom will let me get new ones because she just brought them a little before spring. I don't know what I should do, please help!

Pittguy has some excellent ideas. Running with his summer theme here are a few more ideas.If mom won't let you get new curtains you could try this: take down the zebra print but leave your blinds up. Buy some of those fishnets at the dollar store (like people use to hold stuffed animals), tie a knot at each end and wrap them over your curtain rods. They are very inexpensive. You can probably do this for under $10. Now you have sandy and red theme! Add a poster of a beautiful sunset, some flowers with yellow and orange(Hawaiian style),some sea shells,hang a couple of colorful leis around the room(maybe over the bedpost) and voila! you now have a beach house bedroom! Don't forget the ambiance, ask mom to get you some Hawaiian scented air fresheners and for some great beach theme lighting put some sand in mason jars and add those little battery operated flicker candles, then tie some raffia or twine around the jar and maybe glue on a few sea shells. (You can buy these candles at the dollar tree for a buck!)Oh, girl there is so much you can do with this and so much fun doing it! Good luck!

Well, I'm no interior decorator or anything but I am an artist of sorts and take things very seriously when it comes to color.
If you want to add something of a Summer vibe to your room, there are some ways you can do so without painting or even changing those curtains.
My suggestion would be to start out with photos or prints of paintings with a summer look. You can even just print them from the web and put them in nice frames around the room. Some ideas for this could include beach or pool scenes or sunrises or sunsets.
Another possibility is to just get a few beach balls, blow them up and put them in strategic place sin your room. For example, on a night stand or dresser.
I think if you're creative and use your imagination, there are a lot of things you can do to bring that summer feel into your room without much expense or any difficult renovations.
Good luck and have fun.
