Okay, I'm remodeling my room and I kinda want a beach theme... but i'm not entirely sure what to do... either that or sumthing like "night on the town" like a new york theme or sumthing... but if i did that i want the colors to be dark... but if i did the beach theme i would want them to be bright and like just totally out there... does anyone have any suggestions???

Wall Color: A soft blue would be very nice! Don't chose colors that you will easily get sick of (this goes for all themes). I know you want bright colors, but belive me, save the bright colors for your accesories NOT your walls!!
Bed: You might want to get a new bed spread that is decorated with tropical flowers- pbteen.com has some very cute stuff. Buy some bright, fun pillows. I'm sure you could find cute stuff anywhere you look, so they shouldn't have to be expensive.
Floor: If you're willing to spend the money buy a bright orange or yellow rug for your floor! Rugs can be expenisve depending on where you're shopping, so you may not want one.
Accessories: These don't need to be expensive! Go to a craft store and buy fake flowers. They come in strands or stems. You can weave them into your heaedboard or drape a strand over a mirror (thats what i did in my room!). Flowers can go anywhere!! I've also seen signs on pbteen.com that say things such as "bikini beach 1 mile". Those would be cute. I've also seen beautiful framed pictures of beaches in picture stores that you could hang up!

Be creative! Your room should reflect your own expression!

secretcrushx3 answered Monday January 2 2006, 5:43 pm: beach theme- a blue color for your walls and maybe paint some palm trees in the corners of your room then on ur ceiling i think you should have a sun and some seaguls. You should have your bed sheets match that too and also get some lays too like the flowered ones and put them all around ur room along with some coconuts or maybe even some posters hot surfers.
new york theme- i'd get a black color for your walls but i'd have a professional come in and paint on some sky scrapers or something and on your ceiling i'd do stars you could put in a light dimmer and some little lights like one of those spinning dico balls or a black light and add a bean bag chair or a butterfly chair or something to make it look like a night in new york [ secretcrushx3's advice column | Ask secretcrushx3 A Question ]
TaintedPurity answered Monday January 2 2006, 3:03 pm: My cousin had a room with a beach theme and it was so cute. She bought bamboo mats and used some sort of adehsive to paste them to her walls, it was really cute. She then glued shells to the bamboo mats so they were covered in pretty shells. Colors for a beach decor should make you think of the beach. Light and breezy with lots of blues and maybe even some yellows. If you prefer neutral tones think of the beige of beach sand and the color of shells. She also got a clear glass lamp and filled it with sand on the bottom and shells on top of that. It looked very nice. If you don't have a fishtank or you can't get one, you can get a small glass bowl and put a betta fish in there. The betta fish like having small areas like tiny glasses and even flower vases.
