Blog: HELP ME REDECORATE MY ROOM!!!

BEDROOM TRANSFORMATION

Tuesday, December 09, 2008

 

I really wish to change my bedroom by adding new paint colors on the wall, more style and accesories and glam it up.  HELP ME! Check out my pictures and comment in your ideas, I'd really appreciate it! THANKS!

 

My bedroom is a long and narrow room with two windows on the same side of one of the long walls, it has a big dark wooden bed with a separate wooden back that has two nightstands attached to it on either side, and because of the narrow, long shape if my room, the bed only fits in two spots: where it is now and where my closet is built in now, so I can't really move the bed unless I take away the closet. The closet has no doors, which I don't like and I want to find a way to hide everything (not that it's a clutter, not always) but just for it to look better, like a curtain perhaps. Then I have a vanity set off to the opposite side of the long wall with the windows, which is made of wood too, but in a lighter shade than the bed. I have a desk, wood too, (next to the closet) but it's an in between shade from the other two pieces of furniture.

MY PROBLEM: the theme colors now are maroon and beige/tan, which I am incredibly bored of! I want to incorporate a purple, get new bed sheets (what color??) and paint the walls purple but in a way that the room doesn't appear so long and narrow and I want an accent wall with stripes of two shades of the paint or a floral design painted on it. HELP ME WITH THE COLORS!!

Any suggestions, there's so many ideas I have that I don't know where to begin! I am really excited about a lot, like maybe painting the closet or desk white, but I don't know how that would look with the dark wooden cherry-like color of the bed!! Also, I really like the idea of a Hollywood glamour style, but I can't change my bed and I don't know how to incorporate that theme or if any one has better ideas… PLEASE COMMENT!

This is the only spot where my bed fits, notice the color of the bed and the theme of the walls and covers... which I am bored of and wish to change. Also, one of the windows and the curtains which also will need change!

Here, on the opposite side of the long wall with the windows is the door, then the vanity set furniture and THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT!!! The rest of the long wall is pretty empty and I want to re-do the theme and colors to make-up fun and stylish art pieces myself to put up or hang on this wall to make it more interesting... I'd appreciate ideas! I am excited about doing this, so I will post after pictures when I FINALLY do!!

About Me:

I really like bold exciting colors, purples, reds, etc. But I love the classic looks of neutral blacks and whites. I am into the retro and vintage styles. The Hollywood glamorous- chic looks, too. I love pictures, frames, mirrors, bows, throws, pillows, candles, letters, etc. I want to re-create all of my style and want I love into my bedroom!!!
