jazmin

Im going to be in grade eight and im moving into a new house. My bedroom will be themed black and white. Is there a color that would be a good accent for my themed ones? What are some decorating ideas, or things i could buy for it?

Answer
Black and white with an accent color is one of the easiest themes to pull off. What I usually suggest is black & white plus your favorite color (two or three shades of the color - maximum). If I were doing this for me, I'd pick teal or turquoise or a royal blue as those are my favorites :) and I'd go with a black & white patterned bedding - just NOT zebra print as I feel it has been done to death in recent years.

Pick black or white for your furniture or go for a dark wood.

Wall color could be a light to medium gray OR a light to medium shade of your third color. If you use gray for the walls, then use your third color for accent pieces like curtains, throws or pillows. If you use a darker shade of paint, then use mainly lighter shades of the same color for your accents with maybe one item the same shade as the paint. If you use a lighter shade of paint, then do the reverse.
Here's a nice turquoise/teal for instance:

Target is great for black & white bedding and they also have a great selection of black & white photo posters that are reasonably priced. With a black & white themed bedroom you can use black, white or silver toned frames for your posters/pictures. Depending upon the size you need, you may be able to obtain frames to fit your color scheme at your local dollar stores.

Hope this gives you some ideas to work with and helps you out.

How much is a custom room painter?

For my bedroom, i'm set on the idea of one wall being Zebra print. I've begged my mother to let me do this for years, and she's finally said yes. I was willing to paint it myself, but now that i've thought about it it's just too hard of a job. Would this be a really expensive task?

Answer
Expensive? Yep, though it depends on your standards, I guess.

It's going to run you at least $20/hr [maybe 40], and if it's a very big wall, could take 2 days or more.

Why not paint it white, then 'draw' the stripes using blue masking tape. You can peel it off and reposition it until you get it right, and you aren't committed to anything until you have a good idea what it will look like.

Turning 16, redoing my bedroom as my birthday present. Need a lot of help with ideas!!!?

I'm turning 16 in February and for my present I was going to redo my room. Right now my room is a blue, so I don't want a blue bedroom again because I got sick of that color easily. I had a spring-like green room before the blue so I don't want a green bedroom again. I also don't want a purple, red, yellow, or orange bedroom. Originally what I wanted was pink walls with black and white decorations, but I feel like everyone has a room just like that. Then I decided that I wanted grey walls with black and white decorations and then have pops of color. I wasn't sure what color I wanted to have "pop" and I wasn't sure what shade of grey that I wanted. So I told my dad a few days ago and he said that he is not painting a room in his house grey because he hates the color. This got me very upset because I had this idea in my head for a long time and he told me that I was not a loud to do it. At the same time I was still very unsure about the idea so I pretty much had to start from scratch with the whole idea. I honestly would love a pink room but I don't want it to be too kiddish. I was thinking maybe really light pink walls, where it's almost like a white, then grey and white decorations; but for some reason those colors reminded me of a nursery. I'm totally lost right now and I really need help picking colors. I would love to do an accent wall but I feel like I would have trouble pulling that off because I honestly have a terrible eye for colors and mixing them together. I don't want any colors that are too bright, I want it to look mature and modern. I almost would like for it to look city-like without making it so obvious. It's really hard trying to come up with ideas because I want it to be original but I have nothing when it comes to creativity. Also I would like to keep my furniture white because I already have a white dresser and make up table that I don't want to get rid of. I wanted a black bed, the one that's made of metal but I wasn't sure if it would look weird having two different furniture colors. And when you walk into my room to the left is a wall with two big windows, to the right is a long closet that takes up the whole wall and the wall is tilted because it's upstairs and it's tilted because of the roof; it's hard to explain but it's like a small slightly tilted wall and then right under neath is that closet. Then right across from the door is a long wall with just one small window that is almost right in the middle of the wall but it is slightly closer to the closet on the right. And then where the door is there's some wall to the left and some wall to the right. I don't if that will help you on deciding where I should place an accent color, if you have any suggestions for that. I really hope this isn't too much and I hope you can help me because I am so confused and I need to start planning now because my dad is going to start redoing my room soon. Thank you!!
Also when I said I didn't want purple, orange, red or yellow, I meant wall colors. I would consider using them as decoration colors if I think it will look good. I prefer neutral colors and I don't want anything brown!! The only thing that's gonna be brown is my hardwood floors because I'm not allowed to have a carpet.

Colors: http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/ Look at the "Whites" section - very lightly tinted colors. Maybe together you and your Dad can find a shade of gray that will not depress him . . . .

Pink, white & gray with black accents would be amazing. This way, you could keep your white furniture and also get the black metal bed and it would not be out of place. I hear you about the whole "everyone's doing it" mentality regarding pink, black and white bedrooms. I feel that a lot of that has to do with the shade of pink (usually hot pink or fuchsia/magenta) and the kind of black & white print/pattern used (usually zebra or leopard). In my opinion, hot pink and black & white animal print has been done to death.

Some sites to check for ideas:
http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=uh3_answers_web_gs&va=pink+gray+white+bedrooms+ideas

http://decorchick.com/bedroom-makeover/

http://www.colorcombos.com/color-schemes/101/ColorCombo101.html (This would be equally effective with lighter shades of the pink & gray than shown.)

If you are going to go with an accent wall, use the one that you see when opening the door. You can go with a solid accent color or do a subtle stripe pattern using the main room color and an accent color. You could use a patterned wallpaper that matches your paint color. Or you could even forgo the whole "I need to have an accent wall" mentality all together and invest in some larger-scale artwork for that wall. Check out www.greatbigcanvas.com if you are interested in this option. You can get actual canvases, photo-real canvases, larger scale poster prints and they even do wall murals - the pricing depends upon what you want. And, since you'd mentioned cityscapes, they have quite the selection of city skyline artwork too.

If Dad won't paint a room gray and you are set on using it for your decor, then consider using the color for your bedding and curtains. Target has a decently priced bedding set that is a tonal gray geometric print that looks quite elegant. If you are planning to try to match your grays, then I'd suggest you purchase your bedding set first. This way, when you are curtain shopping you can take a pillowcase with you for color matching purposes.

I really hope that this is enough to get you started and that your room turns out amazing.

what are some homemade room decorating ideas for a teen bedroom?

zebra bedroom set image

Cassidy B

my bedroom is zebra and like hot pink... do you have any ideas?

Answer
Make your own artwork using paints and similar sized pieces of cardboard. Hang black & white photos or posters in frames. If they are different sizes, just make sure that the frames are all the same color (black or silver for instance). You can get inexpensive frames at your local dollar stores. Maybe solid color curtains and throw pillows for your bed in various shades of pink? IKEA has a neat set of sheer curtains in a dark pink that just pops, and also carries various decor pieces (bowls, candle holders and candlesticks) in various shades of pink.

How much would it cost to redo a teenage bedroom?

zebra bedroom set image

Nikki L

My bedroom wall color is a barn red. It doesnt match anything so my mom told me that i can redo my whole room. Im planning on getting new furniture if that helps.
P.S if anyone knows where i can find a zebra bed set please let me know.

Answer
Depending on exactly what you are doing, it should cost under $500 to redo your room.

Paint is inexpensive, but with a color like barn red, you are going to have to do a few coats to cover it.

A Zebra themed room is fun. It may be difficult to find a zebra bed set, but there is no reason why you can't have zebra accessories everywhere other than the bed. Find a solid bed set in a color you like (pink, turquoise, white) that will work well with your furniture. Add zebra print pillows all over the bed.

Your floor is a great place to really add that 'animal' style. Try this zebra print rug http://houseofarearugs.com/Nolita-1310-Black-And-White-p-216.html .

Finish up with smaller accessories, such as zebra printed candles and picture frames.

What color should I paint my room?

Julia

Ok so tomorrow I'll be officially living in my new house. I'm getting my room completely f redone. It's kind of a small room. There's a closet with wooden doors that slide open. I have two windows with black curtains. My bed spread consists of 1 dark pink pillow, 2 zebra print pillows, pink sheets, black thick blanket, and a cheetah print one that goes on top of the thick black one. The border of my room is wood, same with around the windows. Im 13 BTW. All of my furniture matches. What color should I paint it?:

Furniture: http://m.biglots.com/mt/www.biglots.com/p/c/bedroom-sets/ameriwood-cherry-finish-bedroom-collection

*I have the bed, and drawer with 4 drawers, if that helps?!.:)

Answer
I check the link that you offer, if your funiture like this, you need use some light color, not dark color to paint your room, as you said, your room is a little small, so how about using some light torquise color or some light purple color to make the wall be fresh and cool. It is also can well match with your home decor.Then the curtain I think it will be pure white is better, it will let your room feel spacious. Then add area rugs to make the floor cozy, use crochet table cloth and table runner to make the desk delicate, by the way, here is a webstore on amazon, it has many pretty home decor, hope can help you.
