chaos answered Friday August 13 2004, 9:23 am: Home Depot and Lowe's usually has mismatched paint that people don't like for between $2-6. Just keep an eye out for a color that you like. You could go to the thrift store and pick up a mirror to make the room look bigger. Maybe if you you rearrange the furniture, it might feel bigger. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
xo_dream answered Friday August 13 2004, 2:02 am: Paint is pretty cheap, ask your mom if you can do some work around the house // babysitting and buy it yourself. You can try sell your big bed and buy a smaller one. If your dresser or chest will fit in your closet without causing any problems, you can try putting it in there.

dotdotdot32 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 8:39 pm: to make it look bigger, put a mirror on one whole wall. like the wall that you see when you first walk in. if you think you nee to paint it, martha stewart has cans of paint for $20. and alot of colors. and at alot of home improvement stores, there will be shelves of paint that they are saleing for cheaper than they should be because they made the wrong shade by accident or something. also having your room be the same color as our bed spread helps a whole lot.

raushelle answered Thursday August 12 2004, 6:49 pm: Ok. Well I don't know if this will help you. I hope it will. But like for my room it was all one color at first and it looked SO SMALL! ((it was blue by the way)) ... and well it was one solid color. It sucked. And it looked totally small.....
But then me and my mom painted it all yellow and then put a orange stripe with one lime green stripe on each side of the orange stripe.... the orange stripe went all the way around the room but it was like in the middle of the wall you know? K... lol stay with me.
It made the room seem so much brighter (cause it was with the light shining threw)... and it also seemed open and bigger.... and you could also decorate with oranges and the same color green and even white... it looks so good right now... i know this is long but i had to get all the details in...
