Decorating a teen girls bedroom!!

9 years ago

Hi everybody !! I came here to find help. I am decorating my room as i have got a new bedroom. I have a dark oak sleigh bed and matching bed side lockers. I really want to change the room. Can you give me any ideas of a colour scheme to follow to help freshen up the room. By the way there is an ensuite which is at the moment all white. Please help me xx

Congratulations on the new digs! :-) Pick your bedding first. From the bedding, pick a light neutral for the walls to play off the dark wood. You can have paint mixed to exactly match! Then, use another color in the bedding, if present, as your accent color. Usually, the best mix is 60% the main color, 30% the secondary color, and 10% a pop of a 3rd color. In the bath, look for a shower curtain in your wall color and towels in it and your secondary colors. Good luck!

Been there and done it. In the end we opted for something quite dramatic. I painted the teen's walls in panels of dark chocolate brown with white panels. She has a square room, and this effectively divided the two walls into three zones. (the outer wall are windows) and the other wall I filled with an IKEA sliding cupboard in chocolate brown and mirror to bring in the light and negate the dark chocolate. This machiavellan scheme allowed me to bring in all the elements that go with deep chocolate but that change according to the girl's whims (we began with a deep to vivid fuschia colour on the bed spread, shades and accents - achieved by a bit of creative spray painting, and sheets in the sales section of a store). Sure enough a year later, she was tired, so we changed the accents to vivid green. (Picture below is unfinished first stage - fuschia) Next on the list I have planned is a lovely sea blue. The point is that the usual white is boring but the dark chocolate provides panels of drama (and zones on which to hang posters/frames etc). Her bedhead was also made in cream with removable buttons that can be changed according to whim!

I found these colors I thought you might like. I really like all of these and thought it might be helpful? If you like any of them let me know and I can find pictures with these colors and/or complementary to them.

Hi! I think one of the first things I would start with would be window treatments so that the baby can sleep soundly. Here is a suggestion: http://deciture.com/shop/baby-and-kids/home-decorators-collection/custom-kids-grommet-top-curtain-panel/ (comes in multiple patterns)
