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!

(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!!! [ Cupcake_Girl's advice column | Ask Cupcake_Girl A Question ]

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.
