Any ideas for a vintage chic bedroom?

kids bedroom decor ideas image

Q. I'm 14 and moving house soon. When I decorate my room, I want it really different and chic. I like 'vintage' style things, such as urban outfitter themed decor. I don't want a huge amount of pink. I like the idea of blues. I want one wall to be bright and the others plain. I like things clean cut and simple. Does anyone have any interesting colour themes that i could use or just any tips overall?

Answer
WOW.. i'm impressed! U'r 14 & u know what u what. Not too many do. So when u'r talking the "urban outfitter" I'm not quite sure where u'r heading. R u heading for the 50-60's look or what? As far as blues... for the 50-60 look u can go w/ blu/gr or gr/bl almost like turquoise. IF u WANT the pink, then put PINK tones as in pillows/frames/lamps things like that. I did my friend's 2 grls rooms but they wanted something brighter but I used mocha br along w/ pink & pinky/blu... it really came out kewl. The trends back then were 50's more pink/turquoise/black/white/red then moved into the turquoise/orange/browns/lime greens. I would love to help u if u want to e me. (kadullade@yahoo.com) I love decorating esp for kids/teens.

Is it okay to mix dark-wood furniture with light (white) furniture in a child's bedroom?

My son, who is 2 1/2, has a space themed room (mainly shades of blue). His bed is an espresso color, and I am looking to buy a dresser for him. I could buy a white dresser and paint the drawers blue or add space-themed decals to it, but I am not sure if it would clash with his dark-colored toddler bed? Ideas/suggestions?

Answer
Mixing and matching can definitely work, it just depends how you go about it.

I would suggest leaving color off of the furniture. Keeping it a neutral color (like white or brown), you don't have the hassle of having to repaint when you want to change color scheme / décor again. Space themed decals are great! They add to the theme, but can always be removed later.

I do suggest getting some espresso knobs that match the bed and adding those to the dresser (if it has knobs). This room mixes espresso and white rather elegantly. https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=dark+borwn+and+white+furniture+childrens+room&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.44770516,d.b2I&biw=1366&bih=599&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=o8JfUbjMF4KYqgHAzoGgDw#imgrc=dtYighXwrr_uGM%3A%3BsMQvWjruONGcoM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.home-designing.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F02%252FBrown-red-white-small-kids-room.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.home-designing.com%252F2012%252F02%252Fspace-saving-designs-for-small-kids-rooms%3B1500%3B1072

The bookshelves match the brown accents on the furniture, which really ties the décor together.

Good luck! :)
