I have white bedroom walls, I can't paint so how can I jazz it up?

Q. My family just moved into a rental house and I'm not allowed to pant my walls. I'm a big fan of fun colors and I'm not really sure how to make my room a little more fun :) Can you help???? Please???? Thanks!!!!

A. If you cannot put color on the walls, then put it where you can. The next biggest expanse in a bedroom is the bed, so look for a really colorful bedding set.

These are just a few of the options available on the site. You can customize your search by bedding size (twin, full, queen, etc) and by price.

Another way to incorporate colors into your room is by use of artwork/posters/photos. This site also has some really great options. Here's the link for the main page for that section:

If you are at all artistic, you can go to a craft store and pick up a canvas or two and some acrylic paints & brushes and create something that is unique to you. You can also paint on cardboard if you have a large box you aren't using for anything else. What about making your own throw pillows from a few pillow forms and some colorful fabrics?

If you like colorful glass pieces, check out IKEA's website. The blues, greens and reds in their glass vases and candle holders are quite vibrant. While you are there, do check out their area rugs as well - They have quite a few that are really affordable.

I hope I've given you a few ideas to spark your creative process. White walls don't have to be boring. You can jazz them up with artwork, curtains and accessories. Good luck, have fun creating your space and I hope that it turns out fantastic!


What style bedroom should i have (pics of furniture)?
Q. Ok, so i have this bedroom set:
http://www.brothersfinefurniture.com/B250%20queen%20bed%20page.html

Its a queen size bed. and i have everything in the last picture but the tall one that has like 5 drawers in the very back (so basically, i have the dresser, nightstand, and bed). I am a 13 yr old girl by the way. I was thinking like kinda the retro cube look (kinda like this: http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photo-retro-cube-background-image7495725 for the bed maybe, but the cubes red and the background white ) for the bedset, and the curtians similar maybe? Im not sure about curtians. I have just a one panel window, but its really tall. i already have a red mini-coca cola fridge, and a nogalistic (i know i spelled that wrong) popcorn machine. do you think this would all look good together, along with the old movie posters like the ones here ( http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/ ) ? any other suggestions, or things i could do to make this theme work better? or any other themes, lol? thanks! money is not really an object here by the way.

A. It looks like your going for the 50's look, a bit like the old diner use to be.

The bedding looks great, but you dont have to get curtains to match. If the window is long and thin how about a venetion blind.( maybe in red)

A red retro radio would go great with the other objects you have, or how about finding a few old records, or record sleeve covers that you could put in picture frames just for that little bit of kitch.

Hope this gives you an idea or two

A. You don't have to have all the furniture matching.
Get a small round table to use as a bed side table.
Go with a light wood.

If you want a head board, you can find fabric ones or metal ones.

Paint your room.Pick any color.Not too dark though.
You need curtains and lamps.That overhead light is useless for reading .
Remove that wall paper in the bathroom.Paint the room.
get a great trash can:http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=trash+cans&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&rlz=1I7ADRA_enUS359&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1600&bih=729&wrapid=tlif133055168306410&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=6772078281446392453&sa=X&ei=i5tOT6XgLebZ0QHqn7W9Ag&ved=0CKgBEPMCMAM#
