I am a 13 year old girl and I need decorating tips for my bedroom (see additional details)?
Question:I want some decorative ideas that I could possibly make myself (ex. garlands, signs). Or also any ideas that could add flair to my room (ex. hang streamers from the top of your door to create a door curtain). Lastly, the theme of my room is pink and orange, so any ideas related to that color scheme would also be appreciated. OR SUMMERY IDEAS, WHICH I ADORE.
Answers:
Here are some of the things we did in my daughters room:
we found an old dresser in my Grandma's basement and painted the dresser one color and the drawers another color. Then we used hot glue to put sequins and glitter on the drawer pulls. We cut pieces of pretty ribbons and attached shells, gems, sequins, etc. to the ribbons and hung them all over from the ceiling w/that fun tack stuff. We went to the $ store and bought about $20. worth of brightly colored plastic bins, bowls and baskets and some of those smooth river rocks. We put some of the small containers on her dressers and shelves w/the rocks in them to hold up her brushes and that kind of stuff. The bigger ones we put on shelves for storage. We got foam stick on shapes that are only a little sticky so I let her stick them on her windowsills and door frames. If you can buy a new comforter or curtains that brightens up your whole look a lot. If you can only pick one I'd pick a comforter because there's lots of things you can do to dress up your existing curtains. You can add ribbons and scarves and that type of thing to your curtains just by tying them along the rod. I've also seen girls hang beads and necklaces around their curtain rods. Just let your imagination run free and you will come up w/a million ideas!! Good luck and Have Fun!
~If you have some white christmas lights around, that's perfect! The cord is probably green, right? No matter what the color, you can paint it the color of your choice, with regular craft paint. Just don't paint around the light sockets - it might not work. After that's dry, cut little pieces of cute material in one inch-wide, seven-inch long strips. Tie as many as you want along the cord (the more, the prettier I think!). Now you can hang it up, or put it on a desk for cool party lights!
~You can find really cheap picture frames lots of places - get a few (maybe different sizes) and put sequins around the edges to add some sparkle!
~Curtains are a big thing - if you want to flair them up, find some ribbon that is the same length as your window and that also matches your theme. Glue or sew beads (big and small) all the way down each ribbon piece. Sequins and other paper decorations would look good too. Even though this might take a little longer, you probably want pretty many ribbons, but it looks awesome! Attach the ribbons to the curtain rod and watch them shimmer in the wind.
~If you have pillows that are not in use at your house, take a few and make pink and orange slipcovers for them, so if you ever need them again, they are still available.
~Get some cheap wood and use craft paint to create a personalized plaque for your room. Paint your initials on, or use rub-on letters for a fancy look.
good luck!
