How to decorate a guest room with 2 dark brown walls and 2 hot pink walls?

Tammy

My daughter just moved out of the house and her bedroom will now be used as a guest room. It was recently painted so we really don't want to paint it again but there are 2 walls that are chocolate brown and 2 wall are hot pink. The headboard of the bed and nightstand are white. How can I decorate this room without it feeling like a teenage girl's room?

Answer
Oh gosh...I don't usually kind of insist on painting if you don't want to, but I'm hoping I can talk you into painting the 2 pink walls, cause frankly, the pink walls & white furniture will be hard to overcome as an adult room. The white furniture we can work with. So we have to have a bedding set for inspiration. I found this one that has a white background to pull in the white furniture & overall lighten the room:

The chocolate is in there & the print is a modern stylized Jacobean print. Soooooo...would you be willing to paint those 2 pink walls the rusty red in this bedding??? Take a sham to Sherwin Williams & also the name/number of the current pink (or a good picture of it). They will help you choose the best method of covering the pink with the red. Also, to make the room look bigger & sophisticated, paint the ceiling the color of the tan in the draperies & bedding. Again, SW can help you with this.

This is another choice you might like - just follow my same principles:

Do you have a ceiling fixture in the room??? Do you have nightstands??? (I hope so) Consider using a pair of these over the nightstands:

And this as your ceiling fixture:

Lastly...wall decor. Use a LARGE print for impact like this:

The larger & fewer the accessories the better.

Where is the best place to find teenage girls' bedroom furniture?

I need it to be relatively cheap. And I'd white wood furniture. I like the shelves in the headboard of the bed and not too may drawers in the desk. I'd also like a bookshelf and nightstand. What stores would have a fairly cheap, white wood, furniture set like this?

Answer
Ikea has great options that are fairly priced.

The first room that is mostly purple and white has a canvas art set above the bed. Do you know where i can buy that. Please (if possible) send me a link.

Answer
That isn't a photo, it's actually a computer generated image (CGI) which means the art might not exist in real life. However, hopefully you can find something similar. Try an image search on "5 piece canvas art set orchid" - the closest thing I found was this:

How should I decorate my bedroom that has forest green carpet and wood paneling?

Katie

I can't change the carpet or paint the walls but I want my room to look more like a teenage girls room. The walls are a really light cream/wood color and the carpet has flecks of purple and tan in it. I just want some ideas as to how to decorate in a way that will tie every thing in. What color furniture? curtains? and bed set?

Answer
Hanging light purple sheer panels can lighten it up since there are flecks of purple in the carpeting. A light colored poster board would brighten up the room along with some teen posters (I've seen an array of posters at Walmart). A light purple bedspread that matches the curtains would also bring brightness into the room. Go to garage sales and get an old piece of furniture like a table or a small desk. Paint the top one color and the legs another. Like purple top, tan legs. Sometimes you can get reject paint at paint stores or Walmart at a good price. If you get poster board and it has a border, use that brightly colored paint to accent it. A purple border that matches the table/desk would look beautiful. I hope this helps you, just be creative.
