Zebra print bedroom help?


dyn-nolita-1310-090.jpgWhen doing a room with an animal print, be sure to pick a solid color to go along with your zebra. Otherwise, you might end up with zebra overload. Colors like hot pink, turquoise, or red look great with animal prints.

Home stores have some great animal prints. If you can't find something specific, you can always make it yourself. Get some fabric and recover your lamp shade or make your own curtains.

Adding a big area rug with a zebra theme is a must in a animal print room. Try a rug like this Zebra area rug on your floor.


I want to make my room nicer, my mom said she will buy me anything to make it nicer?

A new comforter/duvet cover, new throw pillows, and a cuddly blanket for when you are just sitting in your room reading can all add together to make your room less plain. Bean bag chairs are a great place to read, and they come in hot colors or patterns. If you Google teen rooms and you will come up with a ton of images.

Some stores that have a ton of great stuff for Teen rooms are Ross and TJ Maxx. Bed, Bath, and Beyond are all great places to find bedroom accessories.

If you want too add a touch of pizazz to your room, try out a big area rug. Shag area rugs are known for their warmth and softness, and adding one to your floor means no more cold toes in the morning! Try a rug like this Flokati area rug in red or hot pink.

Room Decorating Tips?

I'm trying to make a room cool and fun.


vivid-fuschia-f-300-03.jpgIf you can't paint, I'd focus on big accessories. Bean Bag chairs in bright colors, hot pink curtains, or a big area rug on your floor. If you like bright colors, stick with hot pinks & oranges like this Orange Flokati area rug or this Hot pink Flokati area rug. Shag rugs are super comfy to just relax and hang out on.

If you can paint, do a feature wall in a bright color and the rest of the walls white. Orange is a great feature color. Add neutral bedding like white but spice it up with throw pillows and blankets in hot colors.

Have fun!

I'd go for a toile (black and white) print on your bed. If you don't like toile, you could have an all white bed with black and red accent pillows.

Add a large area rug to your floor like this Black and White area rug or like this Sand and Black area rug. They look amazing on your floor.

I've always made my own shelves, but stores like Kmart and Target have nice shelves in their wall art section. You can buy shelves shaped like boxes or straight shelves for holding your special mementos. Add some nice wall art that also doubles as a shelf. You can find wooden letters that spell out Love, Peace, and other sayings. 

opinion on a bedroom design..........?

Fluffy white beds are great, neutral addition to a room. They make you think of luxury.  If you both like different colors, choose different throw pillows to spice it up. There is nothing so inviting as crawling under a cuddly duvet.

Find a large area rug for your floor that matches your walls or your beds. A white shag like this Tiranga area rug would look great on a floor that had hardwood or to cover up an existing rug.
