Kids Room Rugs: January 2010 Archives

I need help redecorating my room?

If you still like girly/rainbow, there are some ways you can just add to it to make it perfect for you.

PB Teen seems to favor light pink/green, and patterns like stripes and polka dots. You could add a stripe/polka dot theme to a rainbow theme without much trouble as long as you stick to one or two colors of the rainbow.

On your bed, add a white duvet cover with striped sheets in your colors. Put brightly colored throw pillows on your bed to liven up the white, but duvets are comfy ,cozy, and really make your bed feel luxurious.

Instead of getting a new lamp, get a new lamp shade in a fabric that matches your room. Paper lanterns are inexpensive at any bargain store, and if you stick to your colors they will look great strung across your window or along your wall. Floor lamps can be bought in white, which will blend in great in your room. If you have the space, add a large bean bag in polka dots, stripes, or a solid color. Stick it beside your bedside table and create a small reading area for yourself.

Save money by shopping at stores like Ross or TJ Maxx. You'd be amazed at what you'd find there.

On your floor, add a great are rug such as this Dotty Girls Area Rug to liven up your floor and really bring a theme to your room.

Getting rid of stuffed animal clutter is easy with teddy bear hammocks that you can hang in the corners of your room. Put one in each corner if you have a lot of stuffed animals. Another great idea for stuffed animals such as WebKinz is to buy an inexpensive mesh over the door shoe holder (you can buy them at Ross for $6) and hang it on your door. Put a single stuffed animal in each pocket. A shoe holder like that holds about 25 small stuffies.

Have fun!

I am fifteen and need good ideas for my room?

My favorite color is blue

Although splatter painting would be definitely eye-catching, it is also something that you will get sick of quickly.  

If you like bright colors and want an eye catching room, try a bright blue/lime green combo. You can paint your walls bright blue and accent with lime green.  You can add lime green pillows to your bed, frame some favorite pictures in a mix of lime green/blue frames, or add a large organizational center to one wall to store your pictures and other treasures.

 If you still want to do something with splatter paint, grab a big canvas from your local art store and splatter that. Once it's done, hang it on the wall.

A great accessory for a bright room is an area rug. If you are accenting with lime green, you could add an area rug such as this lime green flokati area rug. 

With these additions, you should end up with a great looking bedroom.
