How could I decorate a bedroom like this?

I found a pear shaped pillow today and now I want to do a bedroom in fruits.
Apples, oranges, pears, bananas: When we think of fruit, we think of eating.  However, fruit can have other uses, and as a theme for a bedroom can come across very sweet and girly. Although you may have difficulty finding enough 'fruity' items for a theme room, you can mix and match the theme with a beach/tropical idea and come up with a very stylish bedroom.

 The paint on your walls really depends on your taste, because any color can be made into a theme room.  For example, with a tropical/fruit mix you could use sandy brown for a beach feel or blue to make you feel as though the ocean is all around you.

There are many choices of tropical bedding to be found in home stores.  Try to buy a duvet set with palm trees or find a solid set that matches some aspect of your room. 

Your flooring should represent part of your tropical theme, so cover up your carpet or hardwood with a cute area rug such as the Zuma Beach rug.   With flipflops, sunglasses, and palm trees, this rug will evoke the feeling of the tropics each time you step into your room.

Add that fruity feel to your window treatments by purchasing some pineapple or other fruit themed shower curtain holders and attaching your curtains to these.  You can find other fruit accessories for the bathroom that can also be used in your bedroom.  A tooth brush holder can double as a pencil holder for your desk.  Super plush hand towels can be turned into throw pillow covers. 

Find some outdoor patio light in a variety of fruit shapes and hang them in your room.  They will give off a cozy glow and really make you feel as though you are on a beach somewhere far away.

A tropical fruit themed room is a great idea for a young girl or teen.  Have fun!

What color(s) go REALLY well with red carpet?

One of the main issues that people have when decorating a previously 'loved' room is covering up a horrible carpet.  Wild colors were popular in the 1970's and 80's, and some houses had different color carpet in each room. 
 
If you find yourself forced to work with a bright red carpet in your room, and you need to find a theme to go with it, look no farther than a beachy/tropical theme.

It would be difficult to find a perfect wall color to go with a bright red rug, but with a beach theme your obvious choice is a sandy brown or beige.  

Cover up as much of the red rug as possible with tropical area rugs.  Kids area rugs come in a plethora of styles that would suit a beach theme including the Ride a Wave area rug or the Surf's Up area rug.

A beach theme is something you can really have fun with.  Add a grass skirt around your make up table.  Hang some colorful scarves as a window treatment.  If you can find a skim board, mount it on the wall.  Hang some tiki lights for ambiance and a cozy feel when it's time for sleep.  Floral leis are a colorful touch as well, and you can add them as a collection on your wall or individually placed throughout the room.

A beach room is a fun theme, and it will work in a room with red.  You'll love your new space and area rugs so much you'll forget all about the carpet underneath.
