Bedroom Decorating Help!!? I just moved into a new apartment and I get everything done...
I just moved into a new apartment and I get everything done expect for my bedroom. I choose the color which is Beher's Peacock Feather Blue with white trimming and a white ceiling. My only trouble very soon , is that I'm having a hard time decorate it.
I want it to be funky and stylish and have a mix of cool colors but at the same time I want to look put together and more than approaching an adult's room than a teenager. (Which is what started happening when I go to the JCpennys and they started giving me things I would have put in my room years ago.)
The room is completely free expect for my bed with its plain white head board. So I'm adjectives for tips on anything ..chairs , lamps bedding etc.
Nothing too expensive, I'm a 19 year old college student and a single mother so I want something clothed in price but not too cheap.
Thanks so much for helping me out! I really appreciate it!
Answers: First of all, LOVE that peacock blue... what a fabulous color choice. Here are some accepted wisdom for accessorizing / decorating.
BEDDING - Choose a white duvet that you can wash/bleach easily and that will grow beside you as your tastes change.
ACCESSORIES - Accent the room next to bright pops of color. By using accessories to play up bold colors, you'll be able to transformation the look without spending a lot of money.
GREAT COLORS to USE
Bold red is a fabulous accent to the peacock
Bright pinks will also look fabulous
Red is a more classic look and those accessories can be repurposed next and in other rooms if you decide to amendment.
INEXPENSIVE IDEAS
If you want to incorporate a little pattern within the room, choose matching curtains and pillows to add some flair. Shop ebay for bold pattern. Buy up 7 yards. Create two curtain panels at 2.5 yard each... just lift the raw, unsew fabric and use curtain clips to bring in a quick treatment that looks fabulous. Then, use the remaining fabric to create two voluminous pillows for the bed. You'll have a coordinated look for CHEAP!
For wall art, choose vintage or travel inspired posters. Posters.com has some great concept that would work with your vibrant blue walls. Dress them up with inexpensive poster frames.
