Bedroom Talk
Painting my bedroom, I need ideas?
I am moving soon and getting a new room that REALLY needs a new color. I love purple and green, but only darker shades, nothing light, but not too dark. The only idea I have is something like this picture but with purple green and white: http://www.design-decor-staging.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/colors-paint-wall-design-painting-bedroom-ideas.gif But I want opinions as well as other ideas. Thanks! :)

- keep in mind darker colors make the space look smaller. I would do 3 walls in one color and 1 in the other color.
- When I was 15 I went through the stage of completely re-designing my room and I'm so glad I did because I love my room! First I chose the theme I'd be going for which is really girly! So I painted three of my walls purple and added purple hearts as a border in the middle of each wall horizontally, and then one wall hot pink with black stencils ontop, it made my room so much more brighter! I then decorated most things in pink and purple to match the walls.. and having the furniture either white or silver to break away from all the colours. The paint was cheap for my walls, one large can of purple, one large can of hot pink and one small can of black. I got one of my family members to paint my walls and then my mother stenciled black patterns onto one of my walls so there was no cost in hiring a painter to paint my room! I then bought new bed sheets and pillows in bright colours to make my room really bright and girly, and accessorised mainly in pink, purple and bright colours. Things like candles are cheap and look really good in your room, also a bonus that they smell really nice! With your old furniture, you can still change it for a cheap price. What I did was kept my dressing table with the mirrow attatched but simply removed the original knobs that were on each drawer and bought silver round knobs which matched my bed, that was a great idea to do instead of the ugly little girl floral knobs I had on it originally! Accesories with picture frames of your heroes or singers/actors that you like, and a few with your friends of course! All you will be paying for is a new bed, paint, new bed sheets and pillows, few candles and picture frames and you should be set! Here's some photos of my room for inspiration and ideas, enjoy! http://img100.imageshack.us/g/271120101399.jpg/
