I don't know how 2 make my room look cool and sh*t.
ok, i moved into a new room like, 2 years ago, and now i'm in the loft. it's really big, but the carpet is screwed up cuz when me and my brothers were little, we spilled a whole bunch of crap on it. and i want 2 paint it, but i can't cuz 1) it's plaster and 2) it's connected 2 the living room, and i'd have 2 paint it 2, which my parents won't let me. i can't have curtains 4 my windows either becuz they're shaped like triangles. lol. i don't know what 2 do. does anyone have any decorating ideas? thanx.

Here are a few suggestions to help you with your room crisis- A cool rug (maybe a small fuzzy one) can cover up some of the the stains that can't come out. For the ones that can start by vacuming your room and then renting a steam cleaner (at win-dixie) and that may help clean up those stains. Instead of painting your room you can hang artwork to add color. Different colored mirrors arranged in a pattern is an artwork in its self. Have a colorful bed spread to be the center of attention and help people look at that rather than the colorless walls. For your windows you can use regular curtains (the ones for regular shaped windows) and bring them to the side at the point of the triangle sides. You can buy alot of the things i mentioned at www.pbteen.com I'm sure they can help you find what you need! Goodluck!

what you could do is put up collages of pictures of your friends and posters on the walls..like my friend..but if your parents don't agree with that, i've seen on decorating shows people put fabrics on the walls, it's also very pretty if you pick the right kind:)..for the carpet you could buy area rugs, that way you could cover up most of the stains

You could probably make some small curtains with rodds. Or you could put a bunch of bottles or candles in the window. You could string some beads and take them in with decorative push pins.
Make, find, or buy some little artwork for the walls. Try a thrift store. You can go to a carpet outlet store and buy leftover carpet and have it bound. Or buy some little throw rugs to go over the bad carpet. When my best friend was in college, they hung wrapping paper or fabric on the walls to change the color because they couldn't paint.
You could get some bean bag chairs or make some huge pilllows to take up some of the space and make a little reading area. There are some of those cool strange little lights at wal-mart you could use. Look at some magazines and try to recreate them on the cheap. You can get a load of them for a dollar at the thrift store while you are out looking.
