Boring Bedroom
I'm 13/f and have the most "gorgeous" bedroom. or so my mother says. it's all matchy matchy and looks like it could be in one of those design magazines, because my mom is an interior designer. but i don't like it, its too stuffy! What are some easy ways to update my room? i want it to be like a teen chill out place. and where can i get these things? thanx! xoxo alicia

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Home Decorating?
Talk with your mom and see if you can add a place to post pictures, like a pegboard or something. Maybe you could also talk her into letting you add a few things that would still 'go' with your room, but that you like.
A few easy things are to change the light covering, add a funky lamp, throw in some cool pillows, anythong goes. Hope I helped!

Try looking at PB teen magazine. They have all the new and colorful stuff, especially made for teen rooms. If you are looking for bright summer/springy colours, try Lilly Pulitzer, available at Belk or online. If you want to be more organized PB teen has some stylish ways to keep things in order! It may be costly, but to you i bet it will be worth it! Happy Hunting!

Base your room on a favorite film or a singer etc. I just moved and I'm basing my room on Phantom of the Opera and Dracula. Like an old fashioned gothic room.

i would suggest posters, u can get them at places like walmart, or online, there are also magazines that carrey like celebrety posters such as bop, and tiger beat. If you dont want to put tacks or nails in the wall there is some really good like tacky, gummy stuff that u can use, i would suggest going to a place like homedepo (SP?) or like lowes and ask the people in the paint department. if you love music you could find a way to display your cd's giving your room more of a "teen" feeling you can get those almost anywhere like walmart, target, staples w/e good luck!

Something simple without ruining the beautiful decor is a black light bulb in a lamp, or a disco light. You can change the effects, but not the room it's self. I know you can buy both of those at a store called Spencer gifts.

It depends on what you like. I have a lot of Asian posters in my room, because that's what I'm into. But someone else might have medieval art, or black and white photos, or a band. Wal Mart and FYE Music have a lot of posters. You could make pillows. In the craft section of Wal Mart they sell these fabric scraps. I have pillows that are plaid on one side and floral on the other. You don't have to do it all at once. My room took me years to perfect, and that's the way I like it because I would just get things when I saw them. Next time you're at the mall, just look around. You never know when you're going to find a nice lamp or a poster. You could also get bookcases, or a CD holder, or something like that. I don't know if you have a Mill Store in your area, but I really love their stuff. You might hate all of these suggestions, and that's fine. But just look around for things you like that you can put in your room. You have many years of being a teenager ahead of you, so like I said, don't rush it.
