Bedroom Talk
Decorating teen bedroom?
I am extremely musical, enjoying all types of music and also acting, and I really want to show this when I decorate my new room. However, I also want my room to be like a bedroom should be, cosy and inviting. How can I get a sophisticated style, and yet still show my love for music? Also, any space-saving, or little tips you have will be much appreciated :)

- Just paint little music notes in the corners or as a border. Space saving: If you have a dresser, get rid of it. That's what I did. I got this closet organizer and now I can put all my clothes in there.
- You could paint music notes on your wall. You can have music related things in your room, like a radio. Also, just make it you. Put the things that you like and make you happy in there. Put some of your favorite colors on the wall, pick out a cozy bed, etc.
- HGTV.com is an excellent resource for home decorating. They have tons of examples of finished rooms, load of tips, and lots of "how-to's" when you are feeling creative. It even has a "how to find your style quiz". Its really alot of fun if you are really into decorating and remodeling.
- Go Modern. Shelves in odd shapes. ( I have some in the shape of that "L" shaped tetris piece") Bold colors make a statement. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Nothing to sophisticated or it won't be cozy.

- A lot of people suggested to paint musical notes on the wall, but I think it would be nicer to find a wallpaper board, like 6 inches to 1 foot wide w/ musical theme drawings and then paint the walls w/ a bold colour that matches the wallpaper board color. To match colors, you can check out the color wheel to help you combine the colors well. Check http://www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html The wallpaper board should be placed around 40 inches from the ground w/ some skinny wood frame on the top and the bottom of the wallpaper board to give it a nice finish touch. About the space, I agree w/ everybody else about the shelves, which being displayed in different heights harmonically could give a nice moviment on the wall of the room, like musical notes waves, like the wallpaper board should have too. A touch of class, harmony, moviment, softness...that's how a musician room should be in my opinion. I hope this can help! good luck in your project!
- Fill the walls with shelves with all your cd's, sheet music, dvds, music books, so they're all on display, if you're a good artist or you know somebody that is, draw guitars, and piano keys on the walls... but like artistically, like bendy.. you know? Get a red carpet, to tie in with your acting!
