- Ok... heres what we're gonna do... Red and fushia are awesome and spunky. BUT: Bright colors aren't always good on the whole wall. Try a few stripes over your yellow. The colors also look a lot brighter than on the little paint slips but if you're just doing stripes, bright is good. Try doing uneven stripes starting a little below eye level on one of your walls- like a one inch stripe, a foot of yellow, a 7inch stripe, 2 inches of yellow, 4 1/2 inch stripe of fushia or red. By the way those are random guessing measurements so you can get the idea. That blue painter tape will help- use a level to make sure you put it on straight and put two together and paint in between- when you are done, simply peal it off and your lines will be straight. Now floor pillows are awesome. The first source is a page I found by means of google shopping. Look at those pillows. They are floor pillows, which are pretty fun and MAYBE sexy- how would I know? Haha! Okay so they're a bit expensive. BUT: Remember that these are so that you get the feel of this, you do not need these exact pillows and let's face it- if you could afford to spend THAT much on pillows that will just be on the floor you'd have a proffessional designer, not me. So. You need curtains. So curtains are a big part, if you have windows. :b So keep up with the color scheme you have going. With bright walls- boring curtains. With boring walls, bright curtains. Then you need a short love seat type of couch thing. Just big enough for two people. You also will need art and fun things- after all it IS your room. BUT: TV in a bright room = AAAAAH! NOOOOO! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! Okay, you can think about it. But if you want a TV in your room, put it in a bright cabnit-y type thing so that it can close away and blend in so that your room will be sexy and bright and fierce- while still being a room. Headboards are important and if you just buy a wooden one or one at a rummage sale you can paint it a color to match, or stain it. Hope I helped and now I have carpal tunnel... Just kidding and good luck.
- Re-paint your room in your favorite color, say hot pink. Do your curtains and main bed coverings in baby pink. Have accent pillows in shiny, metallic fabrics - say a mix of hot shiny pinks and silver or golds. Recover your lamp shades in metallic fabrics to complement your throw pillows. Get a rug beside your bed in a hot pink color, preferably a super shag large loop type or even fake fur. Repaint your furniture in baby pink to match the curtains and bedspread. Just use primer over any furniture surface and then paint on top of that. Should look awesome!
- You could add a fun girly type painted crystal chandelier or a fun lamp. There are some good ones here:
