A 10 year old has ever changing tastes, so you are best to stick to something that is universal, like butterflies and flowers. A theme like this would go great with Tatty Teddy because it's sweet and innocent.

You can find a lot of different bedding in purple and green. The purple is usually a shade of lilac and the green tends to be lime in color. A cute set with butterflies and flowers would look great in her room.

On the floor, add some pizazz with an area rug that would suite her theme. A rug like this Flowers and Butterflies area rug would bring out the blue in the shelves as well as highlight the purple and green.

In a butterfly room, leave plenty of space for accents. You can pin artificial flowers to a canopy over her bed and attach small fabric butterflies. You can also buy some wall art in a butterfly/flower theme.

Kids grow up so fast, and before you know it she'll want to change her room again! Have fun!

An apartment is not a place that you own, it's a place that you live in for a year or two and then move on.  Because it's a transition space, it's more difficult to decorate. You can ask permission to paint, but normally the landlords aren't too crazy about people putting their personal touch on the rooms.  Even without paint, there are ways to make your space look personal and fantastic if you know a few tricks. 

Adding color without paint is easy with bold accessories.  Take Pottery Barn for example, they have thousands of images on their web site of all of the new throw pillows, blankets, candles, and home organization tools.  Take the photos from the Pottery Barn web site as a model and find items from discount home stores, such as Ross or TJ Maxx, that look similar to what you are trying to achieve.  Try a huge collage of frames in the same color but different styles, add a home organization center with a dry erase board and a big calendar, or hang candles on the wall.  Bold colored blankets on the couch that contrast with different patterns and colors of throw pillows can really bring a plain living area to life.

Apartments generally have plain rug floors, so find a great area rug to really jazz up your space.  A modern area rug such as this Grey Black circles area rug can be stunning in a room with cream/black and white.  Area rugs are a must have in apartments, as they will make your floor feel cleaner if your rug is worn and add color if your walls are bland. 

Be sure to add curtains to your windows.  Apartments use blinds for the most part, and curtains will give your space a very cozy feel. Don't be too matchy with curtains and accessories, as it will give the room a uniform feel when you want something modern or contemporary.

Rural rooms are great, and even better is when you can mix styles and come up with a clean, country feel. 

Cream on your walls would be a great change from pink.  You might want to stick to mocha cream colors, as anything with a yellow undertone casts an unbecoming glow to the room. 

When you think of country, you think of reds, blues, deep greens.  I'd choose a completely neutral bed set, such as pure white or deep cream, then accent the bed with country colors.  Find a red checkered throw or a multicolor quilt and spread it across the end of the bed.  Add throw pillows in check or plaids.  Find curtains in the same material, then add colorful accent pull backs.  Get some bigger throw pillows for the floor if you have space. 

On your floor, add a country style area rug.  Braided area rugs are very popular in country style rooms.  A rug such as this braided area rug beside your bed would really enhance the whole theme.  It's autumn colors really give it a country feel  If you like blues, a colorful blue area rug would also work with creams and whites.

I'm not sure what type of doors/door knobs you currently have, but older farm houses all had crystal/glass door knobs.  You can find replicas at home stores, and they really add a beautiful touch to a room.

A country room is an inexpensive way to spice up your bedroom.  Have fun!

It is the plight of every owner of king sized beds that they will have no bedroom space.  Unless your room is extra large, you will suffer for the luxury of your large bed.  In some rooms, you can practically hit the walls with your hand when getting up in the morning.  In such a case, you must create the illusion of space without actually having the space. 

Your paint colors must be light and neutral.  Any dark, bold colors on the walls will just add to amplify the tight space in the room.  If your paint is light, you are free to go bold with color when choosing accessories.

If your accessory color of choice is red, add it to areas that will generate the most impact.  Your bedding should remain neutral, but could have red accents.  A throw blanket over the end of the bed as well as some comfy pillows are just enough on the bed to brighten the room.  Add a picture frame in red to your nightstand, or a pretty lampshade with red highlights.

Don't forget about your floor when adding color.  There is nothing more eye-catching than a beautiful area rug.  A red rug that will add a luxurious feel to your room is a red Tiranga.  It has no pattern, but the color is enough to really warm up the room.

Creating a room that will work around your king sized bed is key to really enjoying both your bed and your space.

Ahhh, the tropics.  We spend our time dreaming of going there, and miss it dearly when we have to leave.  Recreating the tropics at home can, at the very least, make us feel a bit better about coming home from vacation.

Start with your walls.  Paint them a deep,ocean blue.  If you want a two toned room, paint two walls palm tree green and two walls ocean blue.  Mix it up a little, because a beach room is all about bold colors.

Your floor is one of the places that you can really go wild.  Try out an area rug or three in a tropical theme.  The Zuma Beach area rug, Aloha Shirts, or Aloha area rugs would all work great in a beach room.  If you like surfboards, jazz up the floor with a giant surf board that will have you feeling as though you are riding the waves every day.

Hawaiian lamps can be created by using lamp wiring and a tiki torch.  Simply string the wiring through the torch and add a large yellow lightbulb.

Accessories are where you really bring in the feel of the tropics. Add some patio lanterns along your wall or on top of your curtains.  Frame some large photos of Hawaiian flowers and place them on one wall.  If you have one, hang a surf board along another wall.

Creating a beach room is a fun way to bring the tropics home with you.

During the time that your child lives in your home, you may change their bedroom 4 or 5 times.  Some teenage girls change theirs every single year, depending on their new favorites and new styles.  Changing your child's room should cost under $500, barring any large furniture costs. 

Paint is the less expensive part of changing your room.  For darker colors, you'll need more than one coat of paint.

Rooms that focus on animal prints, such as zebra, are easy to pull together.  Although Zebra print bedding isn't that simple to find, you can add a great area rug such as a Zebra animal print rug.  Having a large area rug on your floor can add a strong style statement.  Accessorize your bed with zebra print pillows, and add some zebra print candles or picture frames.  You'll have an animal print room that isn't over the top.
