By the way, my room isnt very big and the furniture is pretty outdated.

A. Try looking for a new comforter, pillows and sheets for your bed. You could look at target.com, delias.com, or even ebay.com, which has thousands of bed options! For a splash of color, buy bright accessories for your white furniture- maybe a bright notebook to put on your desk, or bright jewelry to hang on your dresser.
Also, to brighten up your canopy, go out and find 4 colors of ribbon that you like and would match your room well. Cut these into 3 feet long pieces and tie into bows, then safety pin or glue to the canopy. It adds interest, dimension, and an overall pretty quality.
If you have curtains, you can also tie these back using the same ribbon you used for the canopy.
Find a cute rug and lay it by your door or your bed. If it's soft, it feels great to step onto first thing in the morning!
Get a bulletin board, cute wrapping paper, matching buttons, and ribbon. Glue the wrapping paper to the board, then make a criss-cross design with the ribbon. Stick photos and such behind the ribbon for an extremely cute bulletin board!

I hope that helps you! Good luck with your room.

How many windows does a bedroom have to have to be considered a bedroom?
Q.
A. You can sleep anywhere you like, but to sell a house as having "x" number of bedrooms, each bedroom you claim has to meet a legal standard set by building codes.
Legal bedrooms need an egress window, as others have said. This window must be operable (capable of opening) and a certain minimum size, both total area, and in each dimension. The size is determined by local building codes, but there are national standards. Your city planning department can give you correct info for your area. I haven't heard of the closet requirement--all the remodel jobs I've done either had closets already or the clients wanted one, so it wasn't an issue. I'm remodeling my own house now, so will check that requirement out. In my area, there is also a minimum floor area for a legal bedroom--100 SF, I believe.

A. Start out basic and then you can add on.
If you don't have anything at all to start with but have unlimited resources financially, hire a decorator.
If not, find a comfortable bed you like, set of dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, throw rugs, sofa, reading chair, a few end tables, night stand, set of towels you like the color of, and then build on those. Curtains last.
Bedding depends upon the climate. Light blankets for warmer climates and down or wool quilts for winters where there is snow and possible power outages.
For outside there are two basics; a lawn mower and a garden hose.
You will figure out how much stuff you need and the sizes of beds and how much furniture can hold based upon the dimensions of each room. A large basket of towels may not fit in a master bathroom, but it can if the size is right and ease space in the linen storage area.
If you travel a lot it's much easier if you have no live plants or pets to take care of.

What is a good paint color for a bedroom?
Q. They have many colors to choose from these days any suggestions ??Looking not to dark and not to light in between color to add life to my room ...
A. It depends on what mood you wish to achieve for your bedroom. Different colors are said to have different effects on the human psychology. For more information, you might like to look up �color psychology� for this. Color psychology is a study concerned with the effects of color on mood, emotion, behavior.
Color is also often used to represent certain characteristics or image, depending on what the room is used for. Here are some ways colors are used, either psychologically or as a representation of certain ideas/image-building:-
Blue - calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. Some would say that a blue space �feels� cooler too!
Yellow - a bright color that is often described as cheery and warm. I�ve read somewhere that a yellow room �feels� warmer somehow compared to a room with the same dimensions and temperature setting that is painted blue.
Red - a bright, warm color that evokes strong emotions. Deep Red or maroon is also often related to passion. I�ve read somewhere that the color red and orange could help trigger hungry thoughts, and that�s why many restaurants (especially fast food retails) use a lot of red in their decors and corporate logos.
Green - a cool color that symbolizes nature and the natural world. Some say it�s a good color for spiritual healing.
Pink - essentially a light red and is usually associated with love and romance. It�s also often thought of as a color to express femininity
Purple - the symbol of royalty and wealth. A rich and luxurious color and rather overwhelming if applied to every plane of the bedroom walls � especially if the room is small. You might like to use it only as a feature wall (like, where your bed�s headboard rests against) and have all the other walls in lighter or softer colors.
White represents purity or innocence. It also makes the room feel airier and bigger. It�s also the most environmental-friendly color choice because it reflects light so you don�t need to use that many lighting fixtures at one time or another.
Black is often associated with death and morning in many cultures. It is also associated with unhappiness, and even sexuality (masculine). On the other hand, black also represents formality, and sophistication. Imagine a combination of black and silver. Or black and gold.
Brown is a natural color that evokes a sense of strength and reliability. Personally, I wouldn�t use brown paint for internal walls. Brownish wallpapers are okay or if I want a more natural feel to areas like the kitchen or living room, I�ll just use natural stone cladding or timber paneling for the feature walls.
Whoa� okay so I like talking about spatial treatment � it's a part of my job! Sorry for rambling on so. Anyway, here�s a website that could help derive the perfect paint color for you. http://www.dulux.co.uk/colours/experts/colour_consultant/index.jsp
Happy painting, Rita!
