New room.
Alright, hi, I am 15, female. My bedroom is very.. pink! I liked it when I was little but now I want to repaint it and make it more teenager-y and chic. I am artsy, I love music, my friends call me a non cutting emo, haha. But I want to paint my walls like a reddish or a tan and put a really chic maybe brown lace border around the walls but I don't know how to decorate. I have alot of my artwork framed and hung up, but I just want more, family pictures, cool trinkets you can think of, anything will help. Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Home Decorating?
You sound a little like me and my group of friends. If I were you, if the artwork you have is colorful, Go with a tan color. To spice it up and be really chic, pick a shade or three lighter and do even stripes on a single wall. To add some color, go to a thrift store and find a piece of furniture that needs some love...and give it a new color! The red you seaid you would like to add, maybe something very bright. You can buy cheap plain lampshades and recover them to match throw pillows. The most simple advice though is to keep it to the tan and one or to colors. If you go crazy you might end up hating it later. Florals are hot right now. With all the college dorm stuff out there...florals and stripes are super easy to find and very chic.
Also. Stay away from trinkets. They end up as clutter. Pick two or three good sized objects to put on a peice of furniture and stop.. If you dont to risk clutter.. I always had a problem with the trinkets..

You're artsy? Well, i kinda consider myself an artsy person and when i remodeled my room a few months ago, instead of buying some throw pillows, i made my own out of some ribbon and cloth. I interlaced the ribbons for one side of the pillow and cut out a piece of cloth, snipped the edges about one and a half inches in, making enough for the amount of rows of ribbon i had. Then i tied the ribbon and cloth together.
But, i also have a huge comb and paperclip hanging on my wall as decoration. So what do i know? :)
