How should a single 22 year old man decorate his room?
Question:My roommate just broke up with his girlfriend and he doesn't want that room anymore. So I just got the master bedroom. I have a cherry wood sleigh bed and matching dresser. Besides that, I don't have anything else. Could you help give me ideas on how I could make it an inviting place for guests who might be in it.
Answers:
U'r furniture sounds nice. I'm impressed. So what do u like? What is u'r style? Do u want it 2 represent u when u walk in or 2 impress someone else?
B/c I know guys like guitars/sports/women etc but if u'r trying to b more "classy" than that...
what about stripes? Navy & tan/creme. OR navy on the bttm. part about 1/4 or 1/2 up then a tan or creme. Then do u'r covers etc in accents of navy/maroon & tans.. that would look sharp.
If u like a little contemporary... then paint diamonds in the middle in the maroon OR find a border that is simple design in or close to those colors. Or molding & stain it cherry to match u'r furniture.
U could even lean towards navy & grey/silver grey but the tan would warm it up more.
Put cushions on the floor, pillows on the bed, use frames of u'r friends or a pitcular art that u like. U could do them in black n white print w/ either maroon frames or navy frames. U can p/u lots of this stuff at thrift stores.. garage sales.. Big Lots... Walmart...
Get some lamps & re-paint them.. Fabric glue on the shade w/ fabric or hangin lamps & re-paint them as well.
Be creative! Have fun!
First things first, Paint! Not a weird trendy color like red but maybe a nice olive or mustard color to complement the wood in your bed. Classy, Comfy sheets or Duvets are a must (try overstock.com)Also, I personally don't like mirrors as art for men, it seems thoughtless, try adding one nice painting (possibly abstract) then work with what you've got family photos, pictures from vacations and whatever else is important to you. Display your memories in nice MATCHING frames and on shelves. Last, if you have the room seating can't hurt... the greatest advice is keep it true to yourself, your the one who has to come home to that room every night. Good Luck!
