What color scheme/design should I do in my room?


Question Posted Friday January 25 2008, 4:50 pm

Well my room is'nt very big. like 11"5' by 9"0' or something like that. I love retro styles and I'm into japanese cultural stuff. I'm going to paint my room orange. I know it's a little bit...different but I am well eccentric. yay. I don't really have the money to do an awesome looking room since I do not have a job..yet. I was thinking orange, black, and white..but I wondered if I could mix retro and japanese style in a room. I know I was just talking of color schemes..My room right now is lilac-purple and I have a night table..a twin bed..a bookcase..and a huge t.v. screen. The main focas in my room is the T.V. yepp right now. I don't really know much about designing a room. Taking housing and interiors..does'nt really help me much. Help would/advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

here are some pictures that i found that might inspire you a little bit:

you obviously would know more about japanese design than i do, but if you do something like in that first picture, it would be pretty easy to paint the walls orange, keep straight lines (like in the bookcase) for the japanese influence, and then do some kind of creative retro wall art or japanese screens to put on the walls. i think this will be a fun project for you as long as you really put what you like in your room.
as for the retro wall art:

that seems pretty easy to make- you can just find like construction paper those colors, trim them into cool shapes and hang them. you don't have to buy those specific wall things, but i think those are cool because they keep the straight japanese lines but they also have some funky stuff going on.
another cool wall idea:

that's really expensive, but that seems like it would be pretty easy to paint onto a piece of posterboard and hang. it depends on how artistic you want to be with it though.
i also found these bedspreads that have a japanese thing going on:
