This room is in my new house i want to use it for my daughter when she comes over she is a young lady in college the room is 7x11 and has no closet. she has the living room area next to the room where i have set an extra book shelf and desk for studying what kind of furniture besides book shelf and dresser will be good for storing clothes and personal items and will not over crowde the room. I am planning to go to rooms to go with her so she can pick out the style of furniture she likes. I appreciate any ideas.
Answer
Try an armoir for storage of clothing, since there is no closet. I would also suggest getting a "platform" bed with drawers under it for additional storage. Both of these items come in a variety of styles and sizes to accomodate the small space.
I would use mirrors on one wall, they can be found at most stores such as Home Depot, come in a variety of styles and sizes and are easy to install. Using mirrors gives the room the "feel" of being much larger than it is.
I would also use "floating" shelves to hold decorative items, books etc. There are shelving units available to hold tv's and stero equipment as well. The more that you put on the wall, the "larger" the room will feel.
Baskets come in many styles and sizes as well, get some with lids, that can also be used to store items in. They can double as end tables, or seating, or a foot rest.
I know you and your daughter will have a wonderfull time decorating her room, have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Ideas for bedroom furniture?
RockHead
I recently moved into my new house and painted my bedroom (one wall deep plumy-purple and the other three are lavender. I don't have any bedroom furniture and am looking into buying it. What color should I get? White? Dark wood? Black? I love the look of black and a dark brown wood, but am afraid it will make my room look too small & dark, especially with the dark plum wall.
What color should I get furniture? Any modern, stylish ideas?
Answer
I don't see a problem with a deep exspresso coffee colored line of furniture. In fact, since it's a neutral, it will go with anything. You can easily keep the room light and airy because only one wall is a deep plumy-purple, the other three are a lavendar, making it light. So opt for the dark wood you like and keep the bedding light and more contemporary in style, since dark wood marries this style quite well. Here are a few suggestions as far as furniture and bedding go. And don't forget to add lots of silver accents to the room - vases, frames, mirrors, lamps, wastebasket, etc. These will reflect light and keep the room flowing. Keep from buying a full headboard. Instead, opt more along the lines of something that lets light thru, such as a slat headboard.

Aim to keep the headboard low and avoid a footboard if you can. It's best to have a bed that stands on feet as opposed to a platform bed or a full side bed. Having legs without letting the bedding go down to the floor gives you the illusion of space. Make it so that the room is minimalist with a hint of zen and you'll be fine.
Consider opting for bedding with a hotel look:

Or stick with light colored bedding. By doing this, you'll be just fine and the room won't be too dark.
