My family and I are 75% sure about buying this house and moving in within the next month. We've always been renters, and so for the first time I have this room that I'm free to paint and design any way I want.

And I'm like a kid in a candy store; there's so many different things I could do that I can't even pick!!

So, if you were me, and had a bedroom you could paint any color (but black, lol) and you could design it however you want, how would you do it? I could use some ideas.


I did search and couldn't find anything besides "post pictures of your room"

Um, I'd paint mine black with silver and gold accents. That's not completely black, so yeah.

Ah, I really have no idea. I'm not really allowed to paint my room, so I've never really thought of it. I'd probably give it a retroish feel. Bright colors. Maybe polka dots or pinstripes. Yeah.

What's your favorite color?
Do you like your room with painted walls or wallpaper?
Would you rather have it girly, modern, or what?

This would help me to give you ideas.

Oh, have you checked out different websites?

Edit\\
This is a good website. Also, check out IKEA catalogs. They have pretty cool and contemporary looks sometimes.

Painted, most likely. Not a big fan of wallpaper, unless it's a trim.

I'm leaning towards something intense after having white walls all these years! Navy blue, deep maroon... rich brown... hunter green...

Probably more modern-ish but not cold... some vintagey looking stuff...

I'll check that website, Mona, thanks again.

haha before i moved i made a topic like this asking how i should decorate my room :3 its exciting.

you should pick out a color scheme. i'm a very colorful and happy person so my room is full of bright orange yellow and some black and white. it really just depends on your personality and stuff.

i find black wooden furniture looks REALLY nice too

My room is quite simple. Orental, plainish kinda theme. White, black, little dim brown as the colors. More white over black over brown. Not much stuff in it. Just a black bed with white pillows, matress, etc. White desk with a dell and a bonsai tree on it. Tin trash can next to a black drawer with a oriental lamp on it. And i have some thick framed Calligraphy on my walls. Yeah, quite simple, The lot is only like under 1k. And my friends thought i was goth. _dry.gif

the two color theme: blue walls, black bed sheets, blue comforter, black furniture, etc
the cartoon theme: hello kitty, whatever. you're probably older than me, but hey. i still like cartoons sweating.gif
the poster theme: cover your wall in posters and make it look unique. make it cluttered looking. but at the same time, awesome. er.. hard to explain.

some people just dont go with themes and do whatever they want. thats what i suggest if you're having a hard time deciding.

You should try going to some paint sites. I've seen some commericals and they have rooms that look pretty cool with different colored walls and stuff.

i'd make it light blue and maybe clouds on the bottom ^^

and then the curtains would be a turquoise color and everything else will be ivory, blue, or white. or brown.

If i could redo my room [ which would be a wast as im not really ever in my room much less my house ] Id do black white & Turquiose. :D

Black carpet, with a small white rug on top, maybe with turquiose in it. White walls [ or something creamier, white might be a little too harsh or blinding ] with turquiose accents everywhere. :D

Ooh, fun.
Since I love Harry Potter, I would suggest an HP-related room.
If you're more on the fun side, though, doing your room Nickeledeon/old school themed would be awesome, too. tongue.gif
The ideas go on and on.
