What ideas are good decor ideas for a teen girls bedroom?

Q. I am getting bored with my old bold green room, I am looking for a newer, cheap, and modern look.

A. A lot depends on what the girls like. Are they into sports or still in the girly look? It is always a good idea to have a place for makeup and desks for working so can you find a place to work them in? Might even have bunk beds to be able to get more floor space for desk. If you can do 2 desks so each girl has their own area, they can double as computer and homework place and also makeup spot. but each girl needs her own. Maybe even check out dorms and build it more like a college dorm. There they have 2 twin beds and then usually 2 desks, one for each and a closet each. That is about all that goes in a room. A book shelf or even a hutch over the desk is good to put keepsakes and books and supplies. You may be able to pick up desks and huth at a consignment store or a thrift store. I got mine there at the senior center thrift store. You might be able to let them share a printer if the desks are side by side or you have a wireless printer (wireless not in electric but in connection to computer. If girls are going to collee, as they near it you might consider a laptop for each. Some families like to keep the computer in a family area rather than bedrooms though because of the stuff on the internet and they can monitor them.

As to colors, you can keep walls neutral and decoraete using posters or prints. No more princess stuff for teens, but do include fluffy pillows for the beds. If there is space, separate rooms is nice for teir friends to visit.

You can even do a diagonal line across two opposing walls and paint one side one color and one use the diagonal lines to divide the colors and the colors extend for their side only. Then soften it with curtains that pick up both colors and also using posters or framed prints on the walls to break it up. Can do the same with neutral walls. There are also stencils you can put around the top of a room. I did some roses and purple star flwoers with green leaves and it was like an arbor almost and the kids called the room the rose room or the princess room as they felt like princesses in there. But walls were white. I had spreads with big red peonies that almost looked like roses and it had purple star flowers and green leaves so the roses which were very full, looked almost like the spreads and I used red and purple and green in the room. The carpet was even white and I used wool oriental rugs by the bed and a stained glass lamp shade with roses and a Grecian girl brass base. Had to call it the rose room when any of the fewer boys ame to stay. Or let the girls stay there and the boys could stay on sofa or in the big blue big chairwith ottoman. Unfortunaately we have downsized now and don't have all the space we did then as we went to a small cottage and a mobile home. But you might find a stencil the girls like and put it on the walls, either in random patterns or as a border at the top or even dropped down a bit as mine was. I did the stencils around and then did just the roses and no star flowers about every 3rd one above it as it needed soemthing else. I hope I have photos someplace. I haven't caught up with photos since they went into storage.

Good luck in finding something lovely and feminine and yet very practical for the girls.

Original Question

Redecorating an 8 year olds bedroom, the room is small, so I need space saving suggestions?

Q. I also want the room to grow with her, so the furniture has to be neutral. I want her to be able to have sleep-overs, would a trundle be better than a double bed? Can I use the trundle space for storage when not using it as a bed?

A. Instead of a trundle bed I would buy the bunk style beds that are a full size bed on bottom and a twin on top. To make it really cute in a girls room, attach fabric panels to the top rail and drapr it down over the bottom bed. This will give a princess feel to it. Tie it back on the front corners if you would like. You can use the space under the bed for storage. Those space bags really do work and are great for out of season clothing. Wicker trunks are nice for storage and if you add a pretty cushion on top you have a seating area as well. Add a torchier lamp next to it and you have a great reading space. A desk is great at this age . I would suggest you if you don't already have one. Can get rid of some mess and used for homework. Place a mirror behind it and can also serve as a vanity as she grows older. Most important, Let your daughter choose things she likes for her room. She is old enough to help make decorating choices.

how do i organize a cluttered room without spending a cent?

Q. my room is terribly cluttered..
besides shelves and getting rid of things is there anything that i can do about it?
my room isnt that small, but isnt as big as the master bedroom.
also any websites that deal with this would be great.
i just dont have enough space in my room so things end up on the floor.
the problem with shelving is i cant put it up myself and i just got out of high school and still live with my parents. but my father never has time to help me and he procrastinates terribly! please help !
moon its not the factor that the room is messy.i have boxes and such on the floor and things like that.and i do throw things out. i clean my room 2 times a week since i have multiple medical problems i need to keep it clean so i dont get sick. i dont have much space on the dresser either due to the fact that i own a rat, so the housing takes up a little under half of the dresser.and my tv is on the dresser as well, but i never watch tv anymore.. just once in a while, so i need to relocate that as well but have no clue where to put it
im not a pack rat. all my close i wear all year round, im a pants and tshirt girl, but anywho.. the boxes arent big, they are just the ones i kept for my rat...there is nothing that i can get rid of.. i use it all and none is junk.. there isnt much in my room as it is!
the boxes i have are a bit bigger than you hand, and not crates, they are cardboard.. i saved them for the rat. and some are bigger but they have things in them... maybe i just need to get my dad to put shelves up and all that junk (if its possible)

A. If by boxes you mean crates you can always turn them sideways and stack them on top of each other as a temporary bookshelf. Also look around your home. See if there are any bookshelves or totes not being used. If you have extra canvas bags or duffel bags around you can use them for storing out of season clothes, keepsakes that you don't want to display but are to valuable to get rid of, etc. Then store the bags under the bed, but don't forget you did!

Original Question

I need some decorating tips for a kids bedroom?

Q. We are moving into an apartment and my kids will be sharing a room. They are a four year old boy and a two year old girl. I need some decoration ideas for their bedroom that I can do in an apartment. I know I can't paint or nail too much stuff to the walls.

A. Use solid colored bed spreads or comforters that will compliment each other but are boy/girl colors ...
Get some stackable Organizer shelves & cubby for books, toys, etc.
and use colored fabric lined baskets or boy/girl colored crates @ Michaels Crafts or JoAnns to store the small stuff...
Put easel backed pictures on top of the shelf/cubby units for added color.
