You could do something nautical (like boat/ocean), or make the theme be light blue and white with a bunch of extra pastels mixed in. Like you could have a light pink and light green be throw pillows, and have your accesories match that. Go to a local decorating store like Homegoods or even Marshalls should have some good stuff and then pick a comforter to go with your personality, and to match your room. Have fun! And remember you don't have to match perfectly.

Try ocean- its white any many shades of the blue- green spectrum. For themes you can do tropical, winter(skiing), or just a blue room.

be yourself when you design your room. make it something that can be changed so matching everything isn't always good. incorperate the carpet in your design. a beach theme might look nice but it's really up to you.

I'd recommend going to furniture websites to see what you like! Try Ikea, Rooms to go, Pbteen, even target, Pier 1, and wal-mart. All have really great stuff! Good luck!

What would look really good with blue is blue. Just add some different shades of blue a really light blue, light blue, blue, and dark blue. You can mix and match since your carpet is light blue you really dont need that color so your bedsheet and pillows and curtains can all be different colors of blue. A good theme for your room might be techno like all blue if you dont like blue you could use different shades of green and purple. Also what would really look good is lavendar and different shades of blue that would look really really really good so go with that. If you have any more questions please ask I love Home Decorating questions! Hope I Helped!

twistedsister17 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 1:27 pm:
I think it would be really cute if you made a starry sky/night theme. You could paint stars or stick star stickers on furniture. I'm sure there are sheets and a bed spread with the moon and stars on them at Walmart, K-mart, or even try Hot Topic because they have really cute bed spread/comfortor things. For other ideas, I sugguest reading Seventeen Magazine. They always have really cute & cheap ideas. Here are two websites that might give you ideas:

Helpful answered Thursday August 4 2005, 1:19 pm:
If I were you, I would use blues to bring out the carpet. Nothing Much, just painting the ceiling a little darker blue. Also, You can get an entirely different look by adding drapes of material on any windows. It sound like you want a new look, so you could always go for a theme or move around furniture. Maybe from different rooms.
Good luck!

you could sponge paint the walls blue and put glow in the dark stickers on it and then paint the ceiling blue with spray-painted white clouds. Or you could put the clouds on the walls and the stars in the ceiling.

well do your curtains and sheets... my mom made all my stuff.. first use your facorite colors (mine were periwinkle blue and lime green) so my sheets are white with blue trim.. and then my comferter is green... and were thinking about geting a mix of blue and green curtains... i sugest doing a sham instead of comferter bc comferters are too hard to find (not to mention WAY expensive!!)! and then i have random pictures of guys.. like i went to abercrombie and hollister and asked for some bags, cut out their pictures and put them on my walls... that brings out more of the 'teenager' in you!! and thats what im like obsessed w/! but it depends on your mom... my mom has a hard time walkin in and seein a guys six pack on my wall.. lol.. but get permission first!! back to the room tho... dont revolve around the carpet tho... it will all come together at the end!! so just use your favorite colors.. get some cute sheets/shams/pillow cases, etc... and thats all i have to say pretty much.. sorry im not of much help!!
