How to Jazz up your bedroom? "The bedroom is your own personal space," , "use your imagination to make it your own personal haven." Avoid ornate designs for cupboards and other furniture in your bedroom. Stick to simple, modern designs. These look better in the long run. Using a laminate on the furniture is a good option in the bedroom. There are some great designs and colours available in laminates nowadays. Why use laminates? ~They offer a clean finish. ~They are easy to maintain (almost scratch-resistant) and can be cleaned with soap and water

I need some bedroom design advice? Hi everyone, Thanks for taking a look at my question. I am a guy and I just turned 16. I asked my parents, as part of my birthday gift, if I could have my bedroom remodeled (walls are baby blue from my younger years, old furniture etc. - it all needs to go!!!) - and they said yes. I don't have that much of a design "sense", if that's what you would call it, so I'm looking for help here. I'm unsure of the exact dimensions of the room, but my house was built in 1986 if that helps. I'd say the room is about the size of the interior of a one car garage. It also has one window. My uncle had a new double sized mattress left over from his guest bedroom when he sold his house, so he gave that to me and I am waiting until I get some advice before I put it in my room. I want my new bedroom to have a bold and "manly" look, while being modern, simple, and clean. I found a nice bedspread, and I would like to design the room around it, but I want to choose the right paint so that the room doesn't look like a cave (bedspread here: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11026874 ) . My floor is also a beige-ish shag carpet, if that helps. Any opinions on paint colors for the wall, lighting options, headboard options, bedroom furniture (computer desk, bureau, mirror), accents, and the like would be greatly appreciated. I do like brushed metal as well - I might be replacing some lightswitch covers and outlet covers with brushed nickel, silver etc. covers - any opinions?. Thanks so much! Picture the room as a square in your head. The door is at the bottom left of the square, there are two double closet doors ( [][] [][] ) on the right side of the square that take up most of the wall, one window on the wall opposite from the door in the middle of the room. The ceiling is 8 ft tall, the room is 13.5 X 13.5 feet. I don't really have a budget, I just want the room to look nice. But I don't want to go out and spend thousands of dollars. Yes, the mattress has a box spring.

What are good colours and design scheme for a bedroom? My bedroom has been the same old colours for a long time now, and so I've decided to re-do all the walls, (I'm thinking paint instead of wallpaper) and re-colour the skirting boards etc. The carpet colour is creamish white, and the ceiling is white so the walls need to go with that. The furniture is a dark brown colour. I like wacky and weird schemes, which means my ideas always end up in bright orange walls with stylistic swirls and flowers on them, so I need some gorgeous ideas that wouldn't overpower the room so much. I love the "modern flower design" - Don't know what its called! Those stylistic large flowers, almost stencil like, and I like pretty much any colour (apart from bright green! >_<) I would like it to look modern and exciting, but not be far too overpowering for a bedroom - nothing boring please, I like my things to look just that little bit more awesome and different to the mainstream. What do you think I could do?

need help with modern design scheme and other rooms? Hello! I really need help with design scheme for a few rooms. I would like to do a modern theme red, black, white, silver type colors for the living room and kitchen. I was thinking maybe light gray walls in the living room. Most of the furniture I will be getting is black. The sectional is black and gray and I thought I would get red throw pillows to put on it. In the kitchen I was thinking of painting it red but I don't know? I don't want it to be too overwhelming, any suggestions? Hoping to go with a Chef theme in there. Okay, and for other rooms I also need ideas. Boyfriend says it would be too much to continue the same colors in our bedroom and I should go for a completely different color. I love purple and blue also but I think it would look funny to have the modern theme going in the kitchen and living room then change to other colors but I could be wrong. Any advice would be much appreciated.

bedroom design help? I'm really stuck!? (keep in mind I'm a teenager, so try to keep it kinda young, but I'm 16 so not too young) So I'm having my room redone and I need help. If anyone remembers, in one of the seventeen magazines there's an article that says "17 ways to redo your room" they have this super pretty background with pink and white. Here's a link: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=33794085 but here's the problem, I'm having one wall this design, and the other walls white. But then there's furniture for example a dresser where I don't want it black because I don't like the dramatic contrast. But a white dresser might just blend it and be plain and not to mention it might not look that modern. So I'm really stuck, does anyone know how to keep a room light and girly without it being babyish and keeping it modern? I'd love some help!

Decorating your bedroom? Hi, I'm a college male very interested in modern styled bedrooms. I recently moved into a new apartment and my room perfectly meets my desired size and looks in general. The type of room that I like is this: http://www.plastova-okna-praha.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/modern-design.jpg But of course, my bedroom is nowhere of that size/looks nor will it probably look as nice. I already bought a bed of my own likings and a desk, but I'm having trouble arranging them. My friend who majors in architecture/design told me there are "unwritten rules" of decorating, such as hanging odd numbers of wall frames instead of even numbers, clocks being in the center, and the first visual impression of the room arrangements. I can no longer reach him anymore because he's left to a different country, and I was very interested in reading things like that, if it existed. So could you guys give me general tips or links to a website that has these modern styled bedroom decoration "tutorials?" Thanks a lot!

Bedroom design? I am thinking about redecorating my bedroom but I have no idea what I want to do. I am in high school so I want something fun and interesting but not over the top. I kind of like modern victorian style things and my intrests include music, writing, and reading, but if you have any other cool ideas I would love to see/hear about them-- pictures would be greatly appreciated! When I said modern victorian, I meant the designs with the victorian patterns but with bright, bold colours and lines-- sorry if that confused anybody, I'm not very good with those kinds of words :)

Master Bedroom Design help!? I just bought this bedding with the euro shams, and black shams. (No accent pillows or anything else.) I want to incorporate a rust color like what they have in the picture with the flowers on the nightstand. http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/x6.aspx?CatNum=7226735&JSEnabled=false&hdnOnGo=true&cmResetCat=true&CmCatId=searchresults I want more of a modern/contemporary look. What should I use for accent pillows or art above the bed? Any suggestions? Put your design expertice to work here for me, please?

Teen bedroom design help? Hi, i'm 15 years old and am completely redecorating my room. It's currently lilac with big pine furniture and i want a more modern and stylish look. Any tips please? My rooms quite large and the shape is unsymmetrical as all the walls are different shapes and lengths. I can't do a feature wall, as all my walls are uneven and it would look wierd. I'm thinking of a neutral creme colour, and leather bed and black furniture, although im unsure. Any help on colours or design choice for the walls, eg: paint, border etc. Any advice on furniture styles/colours too? I'm on a budget so anything too expensive won't be able to be bought. Many thanks :) x

Black + Pink bedroom design help.? Okay. So I am wanting to redo my room but not furniture. I was planning on 3 walls an off-white color, the other a dark pink. And, a border around my room in the middle of the walls that is the same dark pink. My bed's headboard will be against the pink wall and I will have a black and white floral bedspread: Botanica Bed in a Bag from Walmart. I want a black saucer chair and a black and pink beaded door thingie. Does that sound like itd look kinda modern/classy? And if no, what should I do? And any tips/ideas/suggestions to improve the design are awesome! Thanks! Thanks for all the help so far :) I remembered something. I forgot where I saw it though. But anyway, since I'm going with a modern thing but with floral stuff, do yall think it might look cool with a poster (not overly large) of a non face card of clubs?like maybe a 3 or a 7 or an ace? Any thoughts? Thanks :)

Teen Girl Bedroom Design? We're getting a vacation house this year, so I need to design my room. I kind of have an idea..but I kind of don't. The rooms aren't going to be huge, so this is what I have. I'm thinking either a daybed (really cute and not very expensive) or maybe a loft bed (also cute, more space for storage, etc.) Either will work. I'm thirteen, and my favorite color is blue. I like being modern and fashionable not like cute, little girl rooms. I don't want the whole thing blue. So the room is most likely going to be a small to medium sqaure room. Could you pick me out a cute daybed, or loftbed (on a website like Ikea, I don't just want pictures..It must be able to be purchased!), A comforter, a dresser, a chair, end table, lamp, and some room accesories will win you the best answer. All ideas are apreciated. Thanks so much!

Bedroom design help (teen girl)? I am possibly getting my room re-done this summer (for my birthday) and was wanting something modern but cool. I already have a few ideas in my head, but the thing is, I don't want to be costing my mum and dad a heap! I will also be contributing money to the furniture and things, so they won't be paying for everything, but it would be really good if I could get everything at a reasonable price. My ideas were: -A double bed with storage. (This one isn't really an idea because I do need a new bed.) -A ball chair. (They are cool and look comfortable! They are quite expensive though..) -A wall sticker of Freddie Mercury or any inspiring quotes or song lyrics. -Some kind of wardrobe that isn't too chunky and is not wooden. -A whiteboard or something? Anything that I can kind of use to put on reminders and photos, etc. -A funky bedside lamp. I would like to have a completely new room from what I have right now, which is all girly. I feel like I need a more grown-up room, but still one that isn't too old for me and is modern. I am obsessed with the band Queen so any Queen related products that I could put in my new room would be a bonus! Also, I am sorry if I have come across as picky and fussy and spoilt, but I just want to make sure that my room ends up perfect, and I really need help finding websites and stores in the UK to buy these things for my room. Plus, I have saved up since my last birthday to get money for the room and am still saving at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. Links are good as well. Thanks :) Oh, and the colour theme would probably be black and another colour, but I still need to decide on the other colour.

Modern room makeover, design flared ppl needed? About to undergo a makeover for my bedroom. Looking for something dark but professional. What do you think of brown floorboards and dark grey walls? Do you have any other dark modern ideas or a feature wall idea which fits the theme? Floorboards are a necessity though.. im an Arch student and have no doubt my room's slowly going to merge into a studio atmosphere. Cheers

Do modern furniture and sleigh style furniture mix well? I'm currently in the process of redecorating and the first room I would like to do is my 2 year old's bedroom.. he will be 2 soon and I am looking for a toddler bed for him. He has this armoire http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d11/omrcastaneda/0900631b80ab88daM.jpg in White and I am interested in this bed http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d11/omrcastaneda/ARG1022_l.jpg would they look wrong in the same room? He also has a matching dresser like the armoire in white also.. and a large white modern style toy organizer. We will be painting his room in turquoise and white and I will be using fabrics with modern designs. I would just like to add that I tend to mix these two styles often.. I love them both. Here is a photo I cropped, the dresser can be seen here in his room. Just to give more of an idea.. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d11/omrcastaneda/dresser.jpg Thank you AspenDreamer.. although the Armoire and Dresser are white.. not stained. All furniture in his room is white.. the bed would be the only birch colored piece of furniture. They do have the bed in white.. perhaps I will go with that. :)

Bedroom Re-design help!? Heres what I've got: Walnut (dark) brown '80s Henredon bedset. (dresser, 2 night stands & queen bed) It's gorgeous and I love it. I also have a really ultra-modern desk made of light maple veneer and black metal. It is ugly and I want to get rid of it but can't. :( The walls in my room are tan (also gorgeous and it can't change) The trim (mouldings etc) are off white, and the carpet is a gray/tan color. The accents in my room (door knobs, lighting closet pulls) are bronze AKA fake gold. I am looking for an idea for a color scheme (involving curtains, rug, bedding, towel sets and accessories) that blend well together (not too matchy-matchy) and conveys a more traditional sophisticated feel. I also have a really ultra-modern desk made of light maple veneer and black metal. I can't and wont change the paint, fixtures, carpet or furniture. Please nothing purple or pink! I've been looking but I just can't find anything. Please help! :D Haha. The cow is fine in her barn... It's ME that needs a new room!

Remodeling my room to a very white modern bedroom? So my mom told me yesterday that we're remodeling the house, my room included. i want something really clean (i kinda have ocd lol) anddd i picked a couple of designs. my room is going to look somewhere along this line. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l83/OhCheezy/latitude-white.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l83/OhCheezy/untitled.jpg i asked my mom, if we could take out my carpet, and put in white marble flooring. she said okay. i also wondering, where can i get furniture along these lines in the picture? i found some online on ikea but my parents refuse to buy me furniture from ikea or living spaces because they think it is cheap, which i find RIDICULOUS considering the fact i will be moving out in a few months and going to college. i live in southern california btw in orange county which is around 30-40 minutes away from LA. im looking for a really low white bed frame. kinda like in the pictures. and also a glass table for my computer like this. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l83/OhCheezy/glass_desk_header_2.jpg where can i buy one of these? ALSO. in the next picture i drew an arrow to that cushion thing on the wall. what is tat called? and where can i buy one? i want that behind the headboard of my bed. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l83/OhCheezy/ddd50_whitebedroom-1.jpg thanks alot for your help!

Black and White, Modern, Bedroom Design help? ok so my 15 y.o wants a new bedroom design. i know he wants a black and white modern look. now its not exactly a big room and we aren't exactly that rich. now i have never been good at design so i have no idea what goes with what. the main new things he wants are: Bed, Desk, Bedside Table, Chest of drawers, Bookcase, chair for desk and a table lamp. those are the main things but some decorative pieces wouldn't go amiss. the floor is currently black carpet and the walls are an off-white paint. the height of the room is 233cm and here's the rest of the measurements: it's a weird shaped room so try and follow this. starting at the point that the door is hinged on. down 296cm, right 394cm up1.5cm, right 2.5cm, up 54cm, window plus radiator up 177cm, 54cm up, 48.5cm left, 9.5 cm up, and finally left 345.5cm the door is 82.5cm and opens into the room. to fit this onto A4 i halved the measurements then divided by ten. ok now you have the perimeter of the room, try and fit whatever you want as if it was your bedroom that you wanted to make modern. (also on a side note preferably objects that can be bought around Basingstoke or ordered from the UK. Thanks) so yeah can anyone who wants to suggest like a couple of things that could go well together in whatever arrangement you like. thank you again. (maybe include a link to some pictures of your ideas) ***Please Note: Nobody is forcing you to do this. Only do this if you have free-time to kill or are feeling in a very helpful mood***

What kind/style of bedroom furniture has a "fan" design on it? Hi, I don't know if this is a stupid question, but you know how there are various styles of furniture? Like contemporary, traditional, transitional, and even more specific categories like shaker or mission style, etc...? Well, what term is used to describe that traditional style furniture with a fan design etched into the wood (like on bedroom dressers, chests, etc..)? I saw it once online and the store used a term (like shaker, missionary, but not those) to describe it and I completely forgot. I thought maybe someone who knows a lot about furniture styles would know. I'm pretty sure there is an actual name, like how houses are Victorian or Colonial or modern, etc... Okay, sorry for the overuse of the words style and etc... Lol. Thanks in advance. Have a great day. :) Okay, I've found out some terms but I'm still confused. If a furniture is made of mahogany, has a broken arch pediment top, a fan design, and ogee feet, what is it? I don't know if it's Chippendale, Queen Anne, Colonial, Early American, 18th century, or what. Anyone know? Thanks.

Opinions on trim color for finishing basement? I am finishing my basement in a more modern design with a home theater, exercise room, kitchen, an extra bedroom, office space, a wine cellar and large open game room. I am considering painting the trim black, and possibly painting or staining the doors a different color, like dk. brown. The color scheme is going to be brighter colors like kiwi green, reds and cobalt blue. The rest of the house is transitional in design with white trim and doors. I have 9' ceilings and 4 windows with several transoms of glass and glass doors to let light in, so I am not really worried about it being too dark. The flooring I have chosen for the theater is a red/geometric print, cork for the wine cellar and neutral white/brown/tan 24" tile with stainless steel accent bars. I would like to know if anyone has seen or done black trim and their opinions on it. Thanks.

What bedroom furniture goes well with a black metal bed frame? My style is definitely not traditional, but some vintage things catch my attention.

What have you seen that looks neat?

Interior design ideas? Working with modern furniture in small condo!? I'm moving into a new condo. Long story short, it's owned by my boyfriend's uncle.... so he's giving me all of the furniture that's in there. It's a very small one-bedroom. I wish I had a picture, but I don't. It's got white walls, white carpet, white ceilings, and black furniture. Black leather sofa, black tv stand, black dining room chairs, black stools, black oriental-inspired dresser, and a black bedframe with a semi-circle headboard. The coffee table is a rectangular piece of glass over a really awesome panther-sculpture. The panther's shoulders and hips hold up the table. The only splash of color is the cabinets in the kitchen that have been painted a bright turquoise. The condo is much more modern than my tastes, but I'm willing to work with it. The only problem is.... I'm not completely satisfied with the way it looks just yet. I hate having so much white and black in a small space. I like the contrast, but it's too overwhelming. Another issue is my furniture I'm bringing with me is mostly earth colors like brown and beige. Any ideas how I could make this work? Suggestions for painting the wall another color? Or possibly the cabinets? I'm fine with turquoise but if there's another color that works better I'm willing to give it a try. Thanks!

Basically, what i am looking for is design ideas that can help me turn this room into "ME". I want it to reflect my style, but still be uber-cool and super stylish and sophisticated at the same time. I am 17, and i dont plan on moving out until about 25, so permanency is not an issue. Also, the budget is unlimited. I will briefly list some of my interests and style tastes so that you may get a better feel of who "I" am. My Interests •Photography •Reading •Writing •Watching movies •Listening to music •Editing photos •Surfing the internet •Planning •Fashion •Style •Video games My Style/Taste •Eclectic, including: •African •Egyptian •Roman •Oriental •Mexican/Spanish/Aztec •Things that evoke a sense of age and epic-ness e.g. LOTR, 300, 10,000BC •Ancient Civilisations •Modern •Classy •Sophisticated •Retro •Grunge •Expensive •Adventurist (my own word, apparently) Here are some pics of me. I guess showing you who i am might make it easier for you to 'see' who i am. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ethan_9219/sets/72157602346493483/ It would be great if anybody has any ideas that may reflect anything that i mentioned or you think would suit me. I am open to other ideas that you may have that are cool but are different to what i mentioned. I think it would help for you to see the space i will be working with. So here is a picture of my room's layout: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ethan_9219/2802841153/ One thing that i want to have in my room is a giant photograph taking up either a full wall, or most of it. If anybody has any ideas of what would be the perfect iconic image to use in this situation they would be much appreciated. I look forward to hearing everybody's ideas and suggestions. Thanks heaps, Ethan

Thanks heaps, Ethan Ricky> You have me sort of worked out, but a few things. First of all, i am not from a well to do family....I am poor. Second, yes a lot of the time i enjoy being by myself...What better place to do that in my nice room? Thirdly, i am perfectly 100% straight....I like girls, not guys. The thing is i am 'man' enough to admit the things i like and i understand they may seem a little 'gay' or feminine...That's because i am perfectly 100% happy being who i am and enjoy doing what i like to do. Lastly, i am not a lonely nerd who would like to fill his room with mini figurines and such of historical battles...OK?

I need some ideas for decorating a bedroom? I'm finally moving out of mu college apartment. Most of the stuff that I have now is crap and I want to get rid of it and start fresh, but I never had new furniture before and don't know where to start. The funny thing is that I'm architect and I design stuff for people on the daily basis and my bosses and my clients love my ideas, but when it comes to myself I have a designer's block. Plus I work on high end projects and I can't afford that stuff for myself yet It is a medium sized bedroom with plenty of natural light painted white (My lease doesn't allow to change that) and I want to play with colors and make the most of the square room. I want it clean, classy, modern and stylish nothing too bright or flashy but just flashy enough. I want it to be sophisticated but not overly mature. A little about me: I'm a petite blond 23 year old who loves handbags shoes and cosmopolitans Looking for color combinations, ideas, layouts as well as websites stores and manufacturers thanks! ;)

If you could afford a yacht, wouldnt it be MORE fun if they could make a MODERN version of a Spanish Galleon? Using modern, and more durable materials and technolgy, wouldn't it be MORE fun to have a modern day Spanish Galleon, than some custom yacht (presuming you could afford, and were buying a NEW custom built yacht, as such that some people do). I just think that the whole "rear" of a Spanish Galleon, that has all those windows (not sure what they call that area), would make a fantastic MASTER bedroom. Why doesn't anyone make something like that anymore? If its $, there are people who spend millions on yachts. Is it an impracticle design for sailing? How much "space" would a galleon have? I would think alot more room than a typical yacht, would should be a plus, no? Anyway, tell me your thoughts.

I am 15 years old and need help redecorating my room!? Hello, I have a medium sized room with a single bed, one corner study table an in-built cupboard and a large chest of drawers. My room has always been over cluttered with make-up, magazines, school books, jewellery, etc. My room walls are a plain creme colour and my chest of drawers are also a plain white colour. I have always wanted to create a cool, modern yet funky room but never know what colours and what decorations I should use. I love blues and greens as well as chocolates, yet I think using blues or light browns and greens may work better to create a sense of space. I would love some help with any cute bedroom items or cheap funky posters or even some good paint and decoration ideas. I am a very arty and creative person and would love or this to come out in my bedroom design! Thanks very much!

homemade stuffs? im going to design my new room, can anybody help me to make some cheap homemade things/craft for my new room, i want it to match my modern type bedroom.. (colors like black,white,beige,brown) tell me the materials & steps to make it.. like a homemade lamp etc.. thank u!

Help with colors? I just got my first house. It's a small 2 bedroom place and it has brand new beige carpet and every other surface from the ground up is primer-white. The all white look reminds me of a military barracks. I want a color scheme that is modern, masculine, and will work well in a small space. I'm thinking about reds, browns, greens, or greyish colors. If you know a lot about modern style design, what thoughts can you give me, and what specific color combinations would you suggest?

Are modern home designers exhibitionists? The wife and I have been searching new homes, and floor plans to possibly build our own home. The latest trend seems to be a huge master bathroom with the walk-in shower and the large tub, which we like. The problem is that it seems like 90% of these newer homes have no doors on the master bathrooms. If someone is buying a 3 or 4 bedroom house, it is more than likely that they would have children. Why, then, would you not want a door on your bathroom? If I don't shut the door on the bathroom, my daughter will follow me right in. So, when I am taking a shower, going to the bathroom, or getting dressed, I close and lock the door. Why would I want a bathroom where I would have no privacy at all in the shower? Who would want their kids to be able to come strolling into the bathroom in the middle of a shower or bath? I know it's no big deal to put a door on or have the house built with a door, but I just wonder why they design like this in the first place. That link didnt work. ICoE: True, but then if there is an emergency, and the wife is at the store or something, I would not be able to hear the kids knock or shout. But I have to agree, Im not crazy about buying a house like this. The thing is, almost all of the new homes or new home floorplans we browse have this feature. This is why it's frustrating and puzzling to me. Thanks Rob, but Im not just talking about models, Im talking about the majority of homes that are actually for sale in the area Im looking in, including the more expensive planned communities, as well as floor plans you can purchase to build a house. I've looked at several 2006-2008 homes that are actually on the market, not models, that have this, and its frustrating. The door isnt so hard to put in, but I also find that a majority of homes have an arched doorway there which makes it even more expensive to fix.

Have you seen the pictures for the new Big Brother (UK) house? What do you think? It's sort of weird. Everything's all modern and/or luxurious but then you've got the bedroom that's basic and uncomfortable! What would you like to see incorporated into the design of the Big Brother house? http://www.channel4.com/bb_holding/index.jsp

Which of these client factors will generally have the greatest influence on your decorating plan? 1. Your client wants his dining room to be a cozy, dark nighttime room where he can entertain just one or two people for casual, intimate dinners. The room won't be used during the day. The unfurnished room has a low seven-foot ceiling, two small windows facing north, one doorway, and is 10 feet (2.9 meters) by 12 feet (3.6 meters) with no other distinguishing features.

One is a favorite chair that would need re-covering to go with the new decor, and the other is a large enameled cabinet whose color is wrong for the new decor. Which of these would be your best course of action? A. Try to convince him that both pieces should be disposed of, since it will be easier to decorate without them. B. Plan to re-cover the chair. Ask if the client will consider repainting the cabinet or putting it in another room. C. Dispose of the chair and repaint the cabinet. D. Try to place both pieces in other rooms. 3.

My new home will be ready in 2 months!!? I will be getting the keys to my apartment in 2 months and i am not fully decided on how the renovation should be done.I want a modern and uncluttered look for my apartrment. My apartment is on the top level with a very high roofing which i can build a second level.However,on the second level,due to the slope of the roof(slopes on 2 sides), only the centre area can be used for construction and living.The side areas cannot be used as the ceiling is too low. My question is, how should i design and renovate the side areas of the second level to make it look more appealing?I intend to convert the second level into a large bedroom and study area,prefably an open concept with no walls. Anyone has any design ideas please contribute. Many Thanks!!!

What is the best way to bring color into a room? Any suggestions? I want to bring some bright colors into my bedroom. I rent, so painting is out. The walls are an ivory color and my bedroom furniture is a dark wood color. My bedrooms set is really bland, and I'm thinking i should buy a new comforter and sheets to wake up the room. I don't want it to be too girly or so bright that it is overpowering/outlandish, and I would like it to be modern -- not childish. I'm new to decorating and in my 20's.. Any suggestions for colors, design, and how to do this without spending a fortune would be greatly appreciated!

Modesty is not a black and white issue? Modesty is not a black and white issue Modest dress is a key component of Islam, but it's important to retain personality and aesthetics in the way we dress This week I tried out the most extreme black cloak to make it into my wardrobe. A piece of elastic attached it to the top of my head, and then the single piece of long fabric hung snugly over my hair, sweeping over my shoulders and down past my feet. The final flourish was for me to hold together the two edges under my chin. Two eyes, a nose and a squashed mouth peeked through the gap under the black sheet. My husband peered into the bedroom, and nearly dropped his mug of tea. "You look like a black blob," he said, horrified. "Where have you gone?" He poked underneath the black cloth like a serious Sherlock Holmes. Despite feeling uncomfortable about the cloak, no man was going to tell me how to observe modest dress. "Don't you want me to hide my figure so I'm not attracting attention?" I barked at him. He froze, rabbit in headlights, and then looked at me for a clue. "Of course I want you to be modest," he said, certain that this was the right answer. "And isn’t this long cloak, the most modest thing I could wear?" "Well yes. Erm, well no, well yes, no, yes, yeah... no? yes, yes... " I looked at him sternly, with the if-you-dare glint of a determined Muslim woman, who has pro-actively chosen to wear the headscarf and modest dress. He looked more terrified of me in my new guise of crazy-eyed Muslim harridan than he had of the black blob. But he was right to be distressed. The question about how we should define modesty is constantly plaguing the Muslim community. Neither men nor women can map out any consistency or meaning in the higgledy-piggledy implementation of the rules of modest behaviour. At work you can interact with the opposite gender but not at Islamic conferences. Muslim men can shake hands with non-Muslim women, but not vice-versa. Brides who normally wear hijab will uncover in front of men to be shown off. In some communities, men will push into the women's section during weddings, but will enforce segregation at home. In others it is the opposite, with women not allowed to participate in mosque management due to the fitnah (division) this could cause, but happily socialising together. The spirit and implementation of modesty is confused at best. Women and their clothing have become hijacked into being the symbol of how religious we are as a community. If women are properly covered, then everyone seems to think they can rest easy. Her choice of dress is inextricably linked to a judgement about her spiritual status. At the sober end she is considered overly pious, not to mention excruciatingly dull. By contrast those women who choose not to wear a headscarf, are immediately judged to be irreligious, un-spiritual and not considered to be 'properly' practising. There has been a visible increase in the number of women wearing the hijab (head covering), the jilbab (loose fitting long dress) as well as the niqab (face covering). Colours are subtle: greys, browns, blues, blacks. These women cite their dress as a freedom, an escape from the body-obsessed post-modern world, as well as a greater commitment to the values of Islam. At the other extreme is the rise of the Muhajababe. Her head covered, she probably wears skinny fit jeans and lycra t-shirts. For her, the headscarf itself has shown her commitment to her Muslim identity and faith. We sighed simultaneously at the black cloak I was still wearing. "We all end up looking the same, I feel anonymous and unknown. I'm not me anymore," I mourned to him. "Some people say that our voices should not be heard either. I'm part of a black silent mass at the back of the room. Surely individuality is important? Especially if Allah says that there are as many ways to know Him as there are human beings?" He responded enigmatically: "Each flower that God has created is specifically a different colour, and design. Even when they are closed, they make an effort to show their personality, and individuality." I squinted dubiously at him. "Does this mean you think women don't need to wear niqab, jilbab or even the hijab?" "Defining what 'modesty' means isn't easy, and we Muslims spend an awful lot of time on the outward signs like dress and physical separation. Where we need to focus more is on the complex relationships between modesty, personality and aesthetics." I draped the abaya playfully over his shoulders. "Modesty isn't just for Muslim women to worry about," I reminded him. "To build a strong community we all have to be concerned with inner spirituality as well as outer codes of conduct like dress." Grinning cheesily, I pointed at the cloak: "Modesty is definitely not a black and white issue." This article was published in The Muslim News "Modesty and Faith are joined very closely together; if one goes, the other one goes too." (Quran)

cute vintage/nature-like comforter??? I've been having some trouble finding a bright yellow comforter close to Vera Wang's poppy set, and have finally resorted to looking around some alternatives. My bedroom's theme is that sort of vintage-but-modern style with the different colored birds, fat owls, and trees painted on part of my walls... The main color of my walls is a light aqua, and most of the designs are yellow with some red accents. Since I can't find a yellow comforter, I started looking for white, aqua, or brown ones with the same vintage flair (like maybe a graphic desgn of birds or a tree), but I'm still having trouble and if anyone knows of some good places or websites I'd be very grateful! (I need either a comforter or duvet cover. Bedspreads are too light... Minnesota's not that warm, you know!)

House Reconstruction? Hi, my fiancé and I got engaged a few months ago, and we are now planning to buy a house. We want a single house that has a modern floor plan, but can’t seem to find any. All the single houses are old in age and old in design, meaning that they have small living rooms, dining rooms, and family rooms. All the townhouses, on the other hand, have great floor plans, but lack privacy and space (yard, etc). We saw a great house yesterday: the area is nearly 8,000 square feet (which is great), but the actual house is only 1,300 square feet (which is too small). We want to get the house, and then completely reconstruct it: - change 1 floor to 2 ½ (attic) - high ceiling - spiral stairway - 3-car garage Then, we want to have marble flooring all over the house except for the bedrooms (carpeting) and granite countertops. We’ve (obviously) never done this before, and I just want to ask some questions: - How much might it cost? (all new and top-quality materials) - How long would it My fiancé makes over $200,000 a year, and I’ve just started working ($90,000), so money isn’t a BIG issue. We just want to get an idea on how this works. And if anyone has done this sort of thing before, please share your experience! Thank you everyone.

bedroom design? ok im designing a really modern room i am using white black and red i want a cool quilt or comforter thats modern any ideas? please use links.

If you could afford a yacht, wouldnt it be MORE fun if they could make a MODERN version of a Spanish Galleon? Using modern, and more durable materials and technolgy, wouldn't it be MORE fun to have a modern day Spanish Galleon, than some custom yacht (presuming you could afford, and were buying a NEW custom built yacht, as such that some people do). I just think that the whole "rear" of a Spanish Galleon, that has all those windows (not sure what they call that area), would make a fantastic MASTER bedroom. Why doesn't anyone make something like that anymore? If its $, there are people who spend millions on yachts. Is it an impracticle design for sailing? How much "space" would a galleon have? I would think alot more room than a typical yacht, would should be a plus, no? Anyway, tell me your thoughts.
