bedroom ideas?

musicfreak

ok i have two bedrooms. i want to make my second room into a sort of hang out room for me and my friends. i need some ideas though. yes we r teenage girls. i really enjoy music and bright colors. any suggestions please help
i also write my own music
im not going to have a bed in my second room maybe a couch

Answer
1st thing to consider: if your bedroom #1 is where you sleep and room #2 is more hangout than sleep - but you still want to accommodate friends/guests who want to sleep: then consider a sofa-bed/futon as the main piece of furniture to start with.

You could also consider a single bed with its long side flush with a wall and use large pillows and a top spread that is taut and isn't too poofy - and viola - you have yourself an over-sized couch.

Re: colors. perhaps you consider where/how you want your color. Either you use bright color over everything (which I don't suggest) - or perhaps better - you use more neutral tones for much of the space (including say three of the walls) and use a bright color for the 4th wall (perhaps the wall of focus with TV? and stereo) that the sofa/bed would be opposite from.

And consider addeding color with accent pieces: lamps, pillows, rug accents etc that will pop out even more if they have a more neutral background to rest in.

Also, if music is your thing consider how you might store/display your music. You can get a lot of color from this. If your music is all ipod and no cover art - consider visiting some thrift stores / record stores for some funky vinyl record covers to display in a grid of say 4 x 2 on your colorful wall above your stereo / tv?

Or if you want other cheap art ideas http://www.20x200.com has some very nice, and colorful, prints that start at $20. See my answer here for someone looking for wall art suggestions:

Also, there are sites like this one where you can play with different color pallets: http://www.colourlovers.com/

Hope this helps.

Where can I get bedroom furniture in any color?

keifa

I am decorating my bedroom, but want a specific color (to match the walls) for my bed, night-stand, etc. Any ideas who offers this online? I don't have time to do it myself.

Thanks!

Answer
If there is an IKEA store near you they have everything you need for any room in your house or check out there website www.ikea.com

You may also want to check some local furniture stores cause sometimes you never know what they have, although there are some pretty boring colors now-a-days!

Is it possible to paint my bedroom furniture?

PrettyGirl

I bought this set from Ikea in the medium brown finish..
http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15558&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=60994&langId=-1&categoryId=16173&chosenPartNumber=S39839352
--After I bought the set I painted my room hot pink and now the furniture is completeley lost and doesn't stand out at all. So I'm thinking that I should either paint the furniture white so that it will definteley pop or I should just repaint my room to more of a airy brezzy spa blue. Your answers are very serious to me so please help it you can. Thanks in advance.

Answer
I love the furniture. Yes, you can paint it, all you have to do is prime the backboard and foot board (with Kilz or Benz) and then paint it white, but don't. The finish is really beautiful, and timeless. You can tire of the paint color on the walls, but what a simple solution. Paint the walls another color. Spa colors are so chic right now (timeless, too) , especially with a calm, neutral blue, and you have the right idea already. Spa blue is so restful, peaceful, and beautiful with your bed. A beautiful blue throw at the end of the bed and throw pillows would set the room theme. Paint the walls spa blue:) A good place to start for this palette is Benjamin Moore. Log on to the link below (Pottery Barn and Benjamin Moore have coupled up with paint colors). Hope you find something you love:)

They are 4 & 2 and share a room. I am not down with Ikea or putting things together myself. Love Pottery Barn furniture, but looking for a place with a little more of a selection to get more of an idea of what it is I want exactly. Any suggestions would be great.

What color should go with my bedroom furniture?

kimsbigges

I have all black bedroom furniture ( my husband picked it out lol ). I have no idea what color accents or b edding to get. Any suggestions?

Answer
Get lots white room accents (lamps, vases, clocks, etc) with a little colour in there like bright blue or scarlet (in the smaller accents like candles, etc). bedding should be simple if you have lots of colourful accessories, but if you stick with white try something crazy and multi-coloured! Paint the walls a colour that shows up in your bedding (but one that doesn't show up a lot).
Ikea is an excellent store to go to, great design and unbelievable prices. Almost any art museum will actually have nice stuff, too. Target is another good place.
