How would I go about designing an Audrey Hepburn bedroom?

Q. My room is teeny tiny and my mum is allowing me to do whatever I want to it, I want an Audrey Hepburn style room, my family has bought me a few pictures. What colour scheme/furniture would look best to work with the theme? I am 16 next month if thats important...
She was an old hollywood actress

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn

Tada!

A. Audrey Hepburn was a very stylish lady of the times. She was most famous in films in the 1950's. So I would choose things from that era.

She worn pearls, tight waist belts to show off her tiny waistline, she carried a fashionable purse always and a hat.
She was always very put together.

One of the ideas in decorating in that time frame was to do a black and white decor with splashes of pinks, blacks or grays. Sometimes reds. They had silver fabrics too with lots of shimmer and elegance.
Choose things with lots of sparkle she was a Hollywood star!
Poka-dots were really in fashion.

Furniture was a modern now retro style, very streamline in style or to the other extreme of curves more Victorian in style and often in white or deep wood tones. Tufted headboards on the beds with tacks.
Art nouveau mirrors , elegant chairs, Chrystal glass sparkly lamps.
You can likely find much of the furniture are used stores or Salvation Army stores. A little paint or furniture polish they will look new again.

Here are some links to some decals of dots to carry through the idea of poka-dots onto your walls. The poka-dots were usually black on pink or black or red on white. You could paint your room pink and put some dots all over a wall and a few scattered in limited areas on other walls to tie it in.

There is bedding on the market with dots on it to follow through with the dot design plan. Some examples on links below.

Or you could paint a large silhouette of Audrey Hepburn on one wall.
Take a look at this link to see what I mean.

When you follow the links above scroll and click on the other things on the site when you get to them. Many have lots of ideas for you.

Best wishes have fun and make the room about your love for Audrey Hepburn and your personality too.

Original Question

How can I decorate my bedroom?

Q. I'm 16 and want to redecorate my room. Last time was when I was 10. I have brown furniture and pink deep walls, any ideas?
A new comforter and curtains and things of that sort are ok too!

A. Get a comforter that displays both of those colors so that it pulls your walls and your furniture together. Like this: http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?deptid=70753&catid=78375&grptyp=ENS&itemid=17de3b6&dep=KIDS+%2b+TEENS&pcat=teens+bedding&cat=quilts+%2b+coverlets&refpagename=X2%252Easpx&refdeptid=70753&refcatid=70753&cmAMS_T=X2&cmAMS_C=MERCHA&cmAMS_V=X2H2&CmCatId=70753

* Obviously not the walls, but the comforter is nice. And you can use the other colors in it for frames on the wall or a carpet.

There's a ton more on Jcpenney.com

Try putting up some pictures or making a picture board ( a corkboard with pictures), or putting a vase of fake flowers.

Or a cute set of mirrors: http://www.target.com/Gem-Wall-Mirror-Set/dp/B003P5FODK/ref=sc_ri_2?ie=UTF8&node=672161011

Original Question

Do Americans sleep on nice comfy beds like the British do?

Q. If so what kind of sheets do they use?

A. Most American's do sleep on comfy beds. Usually set up on a stand with the box spring on the stand and the mattress set on top of the box spring. Everyone uses different types of sheets. The higher the thread count, the better the sheets and the more expensive. Kids often use jersey sheets made from the same material as tshirts, cheap but comfy. In the winter, flannel sheets are popular as they are very warm. Blankets help make a bed more confy as well. Goose down blankets are usually covered by a duvet to keep it clean and to match the bedroom. There are also quilts as well as korean minks which are equally popular overseas. Hope this helped.
