Unisex Room Ideas?


Question Posted Wednesday March 31 2010, 2:58 pm

Hi! 19/f

Me and my boyfriend have been living together for about a year now, and I'm getting kind of bored with the way that our room looks. We've made a few changes (took off our closet doors, added some furniture) but I'm still not satisfied. The walls are a dull white, and the carpet is brown. I really want to paint our room, but it's hard choosing a color we can both agree on, or a design. I'm more girly and he's more neutral and calm. I suggest ideas, and he thinks that they're too girly so I really need some ideas that could work for our room since it's the both of us.

If you need an idea of what we're like, well, we're very similar. We're both heavily into music, movies & media. I really like fashion, reading and art. I really want something that could incorporate those but that could really be equal and not too overpowering. I don't want our room to be too feminine or too masculine.

If you guys have any ideas, could you please contribute them? I'm so bored of the way our room looks and we're looking to change it. Thanks in advance!

Blues and greens are really trendy. I do not know which you like better but I do know there is a blue for everyone. If you put a medium tone-neutral (lighter browns or darker tans.. or GREY) on the walls and decoreate with a bright blue or a light blue it would be relaxed and airy. if you use darker colors it can become romantic. If you dont want blue...Kelly green colors could liven up the space. Bright greens are everywhere and there are so many options! I don't know how he feels about turquoise, but thats a great color right now too.

It would be a bonding expierence for both of you to paint a mural on the walls of your lives together. (I know your probably not the artsy type but it will still be fun and a good expierence splatter paint!lol)The good parts, even the bad parts, so that if you guys ever argue you can look around and think of all you have accomplished together. Good luck!!!

You guys ought to just cover your walls with band and movie posters. Less time consuming than painting, and it would grow into a hobby.

Yellow is a good color its bright and can be used for boys and girls, it also doesn't make the room small looking

Sage green is a good unisex color AND it is a color.
Throw in some gold with great photos and posters of musicians.
OR
dark blue trim om white using some nature themes??

You could make it a movie room. Classy framed posters of favorite movies and/or actors.
Using blk and white.

Lastly pick a unisex color say light burnt orange and each of you alternate picking out artifacts, pictures, art ect and make it a mix of the two of you.

A few suggestions for you. I hope you agree on something
best to the two of you
