Teen Hang-out room philosophy?? there is a spare room in my house that i am going...
there is a spare room in my house that i am going 2 revise 4 a teen hangout for my friends and me and also my brother's friends and me...sorta like a teen living room for when there are gathering at my house. i need ideas that are upright for boys and girls that are teens, we thought sort of rockerish style but we have no ideas and in that are none on google that we liked so far i will take any planning like the paint color and stuff. the problem with the room it does not hold ventilation so it can be 2 hot and 2 cold...also we would appriciate it if you could explain where 2 go and get things 4 the room we are on a smallish budget but please give any ideas you own! :]
http://mariesmanor.fateback.com/Music_Th... Think simple. Find stuff from around your house that you can use. Anything fun and silly will work. When I was in big school I made my room into a cool "teenager" hangout with a shag mat, a velvet beenbag, and hanging lights that changed color. I had an frail TV and got lots of silly VHS tapes (you can buy a VHS player incredibly cheaply at a thrift store, and many music stores sell weak VHS tapes for a dollar or two). Then if I had general public over we could have a movie on in the conditions. I also had a record player and get lots of old records and found hoary records of my parents that I liked. This be my trippy 70's room. but if you're trying for something more modern think really sleek and simple, and go to garage sale and thrift stores to find good decorations.
You could paint the walls a turquoise, or pallid blue. You could put up some posters on the walls that you and your brother like. Maybe get some banana chairs and a few bean oodles for seating, because they cost less than most couches. You'll probably want a table or two also. You could even stock the closet near craft supplies, board games, movies, and snacks! www.RockYourWall.com has a lot of cool things similar to Pottery Barn Teen for a lot less money. You could create a interior style tile bulletin out of colored dry erase tiles and cork for a functional and cool look.
Answers: Here are some of my ideas for a "Rocker" room :)
The Thrift Store and Goodwill and GREAT places to go find some nice cheap finds!!
~ At the goodwill store.. find some strip tees and make them into pillows
~ Hang old CD's on the wall or from the ceiling. Threft store is also a biddable place for these!
~ You can frame up music sheets to put on thewall. Or hang band posters.
~ Put futons, couches, big fluffy chairs within the room.. garage sales a great for this!
~ Have your friends pose different "dance" positions against the wall and pencil them on the wall.. then paint black.. or if the walls are black.. paint them white or a color that will "pop" .. you'll hold your own dance club LOL.
~ Put a colored light orb in the room to display different colors around the room... can find them at WAlmart. OR buy a colored light bulb.
~ Find some square wood flooring pieces and brand name a smalldance floor.. put it in the corner to save space. You can probably use a big piece of a plywood from the hardwood store too.
Well I hope those hope ya! For the heating/cooling.. I'd of late make a safe nouns for a nice fan and space heater.

I think that a neatrul color approaching cream would cover the walls and have like a surfboard on the wall. I dont' know why that soulnds cool to me. If you similar to that i know that Pottery Barn Teen has good stuff similar to that. Go to potterybarn.com and go tho the teens section. Find the button to go and get a free magazine. They have good planning. They are a little expensive but you could get philosophy from tehre and tehn go buy a cheaper version. your brother and you will agree on something from tehre. The magazine comes nifty. You only get one but it is cool.
Also, you could seize beanbags or a couch from a garage sale, that looks decent. Have a book shelf to hold games and other stuff. If oyu enjoy a computer then buy a computer table. Trust me, your room will be ROCKIN'!
