im 14 and redoing my room and need some ideas. any??
Answer
When decorating a bedroom your bed should be the focal point of the room and use your bedding to choose the colors for your room. If you're getting a new bedspread/comforter buy it first, then choose a specific color in your bedding and paint the walls a light shade of that color.
To make your room look neat, brighter and appear larger arrange your room in separate areas with lighting for each area, light cool colored walls coordinating colors in bedding, artwork and accents. Let in as much natural light as possible.
Center your bed with the headboard against a large wall or between two windows with a nightstand and lamp or hanging lantern, place your entertainment unit or dresser on the opposite wall across from the footboard, (unless it blocks a window) if you have two dressers place them on adjoining walls close together, put your desk under a window or in a far corner, a mirrored vanity table and chair on the other side of the room, if your friends come over to hang out and your room is big enough, set up a gaming area with gaming unit, tv, and a small table (or entertainment unit or armoire) with a couple of bean bags or low chairs.
Make sure furniture doesn't block opening doors or pathways.

When decorating, group framed photos or nature pics, a large colorful painting or poster on a spacious wall, hang a mirror so it reflects the outdoors or lean a full length mirror against a wall, display collectibles/figurines on shelves, hang candle wall sconces and place candles in different sizes/colors, a leafy potted plant or hanging plant in front of a window.

On your desk use a jar or glass for pens/pencils and markers, stack game disks/cd's, throw away scrap paper and store papers you want to keep in a plastic bin, be sure you have a wastebasket and hamper, go through your closet and dresser, any clothes that are faded, torn, don't fit or wear throw away or donate, fold, hang and arrange neatly, put clothes for winter and what you only wear occasionally to the back and use shelves and/or add a small storage unit to keep everything organized and clutter free.
You can make a pin board to hang above your desk.
Cut a large square or rectangle out of box cardboard, about the size of a cork board.
To make the hanger, punch two holes 1/2 inch apart 1 inch from the top in the center, thread the ends of a twisty tie (the paper covered wire used to close bread) thru the holes, twist at the back, make a loop and twist the ends.
Cut a piece of fabric 2 inches larger than the cardboard
(you could use an old shirt or sweater or a shirt with a cool design/fav band)
Lay cardboard on top of fabric and wrap to the back like a present and pin.

A picture collage
Cut out any shape out of thin cardboard. (a cereal box works great)
Then make the hanger as above.
Use a glue stick or a small drop of glue for each pic, you can arrange the pics side by side or overlapping.
Or group framed pics.
Best to arrange on the floor with largest pic in the middle before hanging.
Or a multi-pic frame

Abstract art
Get a poster board ($3 at walmart) and paint simple abstract art using colors from your bedspread or more extravagant if you love to paint.
