If you were to get your bedroom done what would you do? what color would you paint your walls? what kindof furniture, etc.
and also, I'm 14 and I like the colors pink & black and I love music, punk stuff...I don't know what else. So how would you do my room if you had to. I'm just wondering!
Additional info, added Friday October 5 2007, 11:20 am: ALSO, I'm trying to find somewhere where I can look at tons of bedrooms and maybe I'll find one so I can print it. Does anyone know what I could search for on google. I've looked at alot of pages but found nothing good. like, google.com>room ideas, & etc.
help, thanks in advance.. Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category? Maybe give some free advice about: Home Decorating? LM answered Saturday October 6 2007, 11:59 am: I would paint the walls pink. Go as light as you can, dark colors make the room smaller & they're really hard to paint over. Use black as an accent color. Furniture (but don't paint any heirloom dressers either) get some cheap, unique pieces at yardsales, flea markets, thrift shops, etc. and spray paint them black (obviously outside). Get some old records, maybe, and hang them on your wall (just the record, not the sleeve)- you can get those for under $1.25 at a thrift store & since you're just using them for show, it doesn't matter if they play or not.
Also, get some posters of your favorite bands. I you have the money, get them framed, or get a cheap frame & paint it with any pattern you like- maybe black with white music notes stenciled on or something?. Posters are great because if your musical taste changes or if you deicde to move them around, all it takes is pulling out pushpins or moving a frame.
I would also get a comforter if I could. If you already have good sheets, don't bother buying new ones (unless they're like, Barney, and you hate them, haha) because when you make your bed, no one sees the sheets anyway. A black comforter, or even one with a design you like, will match the look you're going for but you won't get sick of it in three mmonths & it could easily match other room themes.
Oh! Accent pillows. Claires and other stores have pillows in every shape, size, and color imaginable. Plus now you can get speaker pillows, which would work well with your love of music. You just plug them into a headphone port of a CD player, mp3 player, iPod, etc and the music comes out of the pillow. Cool, huh?

christina answered Friday October 5 2007, 2:33 pm: I'm just going to tell you now that dark colors such as black, hot pink, red & navy blue will make your room appear smaller & it's easy to feel more cramped in there. Plus they're hard to paint over & it takes a lot of coats of paint [& buckets of paint] to get the job done.
Whenever painting your room, paint it a light color like light pinks, blues & purples. Maybe even a soft gray would work. That's why whenever you move out, you paint the walls white because it makes the room appear larger & it increases the chance of people wanting to move in. If you wanted a house with big rooms, & that's how a room appeared just because of the paint, wouldn't you wanna move in? So as a warning: don't paint your room dark colors.
Anyways; if you like the color gray, you could always paint your room pink & gray or something. It might not be as cool as pink&black, but it'd look just as good. If that doesn't interest you, ask a friend on her opinion about wall-colors. Your friends always seem to know what looks good when you don't. They are back-up. Since you like music so much, I suggest you get black paint & some music note stencils. You could put up random music notes around your room; but if you think music notes would make you seem like a kid; try a guitar or maybe even drumset stencils. It's more punk-rock & just as cute.
I'm not even sure if you're getting a new comforter or whatever, but you can do that as well. You can get a hotpink/black comforter so that it'll go with your room. As for a bed, just get a normal bed that you'd like, you don't need anything fancy. I've never redone my room before, so I'm just throwing out some of the things I'd do.
I'd keep Googling, or even look at the Home Depot & stuff and see if they have any ideas for bedrooms. If not, then you need to do this on your own & make it more special. =) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
