for a kids room, all walls bright orange? or just one? Will it make the room look.. too much with all walls?

=)

I'm making a 13 year olds room bright orange. She has a huge room, bigger than most children's. Its a very bright, deep, orange. I don't know if I should paint the whole thing orange, or if that will look too much. If I only paint one wall orange, what should I do with the other walls? Just leave them white?

(she likes bright colors)

Answer
I would suggest either just ONE wall or pnly part of the walls painted Orange.
I am an interior designer and I know from experience that bright colors in a bedroom make it hard for people to relax and fall asleep. Here's an idea or two....
Either just do one wall the bright orange and the other walls some other color that blends well with you r bright color, but is not bright. Maybe a pariwinkle or light blue or a light lime green. Any light yellows or off-whites will also blend well, and will calm down the stimulating brightness of the orange wall.
OR you could measure and tape a horizontal line or even a wavy line on each wall and only paint the bright orange on the bottom half of that line. You can pick a calmer color for the top, or even just a lighter more peachy orange for the top color. This will be a bold statement with out being too straining on ones eyes.
Have fun deciding!

New bedroom advice!!!!!?

basicly the house i live in with my family is getting extended and after that is done i will have my own room instead of sharing a room with my sister. Im 15 and i am a bit of a colourful person so i have a few ideas of what i would like but not sure how they will look....

1. The walls painted white with really random paintbrush splashes over the white, white wooden furniture, and my fave colour (fushia pink) duvet cover and pillow cover.
2. The walls painted blue, orange, purple and green, white furniture and just a plain white bed and pillow cover.
3. The walls white but the main wall painted a neon colour, but the white walls will have framed photo collages and just random wall decorations, white furniture and the duvet and pillow cover to different neon colour.

I do have more ideas but these were the ones i couldnt decide between...... so please can you say which one you like the best or give me an idea that you think will look good.

Btw the furniture has to be white.

thanks.

Answer
1. The random paint splashes sounds cute, but it will look too busy if you do it on all the walls. If you go for just one accent wall with paint splashes it will look much better. I love the idea of white and fuschia!
2. I just don't like this one. All 4 walls in different colors is too much for me. My little sister had a room like this as a kid and it looked like a disaster.
3. This one is my favorite idea! I like everything about this idea!

Here are some great neon-inspired room pictures I found that could give you some ideas.

I love the neon lights!
