Teens: DIY bedroom decorating HELP????!!!!!?

Alison

So I have had my room decorated the same since I was a young girl. Now I am trying to make it more me by hanging up pictures, re-arranging furniture etc I cant repaint or buy new furniture or anything like that. So far I added a huge collage of pictures and quotes on one of my walls. I am thinking of hanging sheets from the ceiling like this- http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6d34t4I001qbmuv5o1_1280.jpg but I'm not sure. Are there any other things I could do to make my room be more me and less little kid-ish?

Answer
First of all, I think the sheets idea is awesome and looks really cool, but just make sure they aren't anywhere that makes them a fire hazard. Maybe pbteen.com could help you with ideas of arrangement and decorating of the room. Also, I found this picture of putting glow balls inside stockings and hanging them from the ceiling which would be really cool with the sheets thing. http://pinterest.com/pin/71916925269898869/ Another idea could be laminating flowers or something to put on your wall (idk my sister did it). Good luck. Hopefully I helped a little. :)

How to decorate my bedroom?

Watch Me G

I'm a college kid commuting to school aka still living at home with my parents.

I've recently decided to completely redecorate my room.

Basically after you walk in, the ceiling slants in like a triangle.

The only window in the room is on the opposite side of the door.

The bed is perpendicular to the window.

So far, all I have is strung lights framing the window.

I know I want to do a map of the world on one side of the ceiling with the quote "not all those who wander are lost".

What else should I do to decorate?

Answer
I love the world map and quote idea!

I was going to suggest hanging string lights and drape a sheer sequin curtain in your accent color over the lights on the sloped ceiling cascading down behind your bed http://www.walmart.com/ip/Beacon-Looms-Groovy-Sequin-Interlined-Curtain-Panel/16662997

But since you already framed the window you could hang the sheer sequin curtain on the window.

Swirling flowers decal would look great on the slope above your headboard.

You can buy 1/2 yard (18x45") of super cute fabric for $3 at walmart in tons of different patterns/designs in the colors in your room.

Designer frames
Cut two 1 1/2" wide strips of the fabric and wrap two picture frames.

Cut remaining fabric 13x30" and lay across your dresser as a cute runner to tie everything together.
or
Make a cute accent pillow for your bed. Easy to sew with a needle and thread if you can't use a sewing machine.
Cut fabric 13x30"
Fold the fabric in half, in-side-out so the color/print is inside.
Sew 1/2" in, along the edge on the two long sides, leaving the short end open.
Turn pillow cover right-side-out so the color/print is on the outside.
Fill with batting or even with a sweater/shirt you don't wear anymore.
Then sew up the opening.

For a girly touch drape a lighted feather lei over your door mirror. ?
