What does your room look like?

<p>Hey guys, my parents are going to let me redo my bedroom this fall. I'm so sick of the way that it is right now, it looks like a baby's room LOL. What does yours look like? I need ideas.</p>

<p>Anyone?

<p>my room is light orange with purple and red accents and black furniture. I also have a lot of funky lights and photographs with matching colors.</p>

<p>you should go to ikea! they always have so many interesting accents for a cheap price too!
I think you should definitely pick 3-4 colors that you like and try to build a theme around it</p>

4

<p>my room is white and my furniture is black. my curtains are ice blue and my bed is leather and black. my duvet cover is satin and gark gray with like ridges on it or whatever</p>

<p>Jeez, these people have such complex rooms.</p>

<p>My room is a shade of hospital green. My bed (mattress?) has no color, since there is no frame. Then, there is the necessary assortment of mismatched furniture to complement the look. I think it’s quite bohemian.</p>

<p>Oh, and the curtains match the walls.</p>

<p>My room is really, really big, so I have a lot more freedom than most people I know.</p>

<p>My alcove is pretty much all storage for things that I should sort out, but the main part of my room has my bed in one corner. I sort of want to put a big curtain over it.The back wall is taken up by two of my bookshelves and my third desk (I gave my second desk to my father since it was huge and too masculine). And then I have another bookshelf and my dresser. The third bookshelf is completely full of National Geographic magazines, in chronological order. The other shelves are in alphabetical order. My room gets pretty junky because I don’t have enough shelves. There’s a permanent pile of books on the left and most of my ships in bottles are not up. Most of my furniture is from Arhaus, but some of it is from Target. It’s all black, while the stuff that went with my second desk was all brown (ages 13-16), and the stuff that went with my first desk was all cream/white (ages 7-13). I sorta miss my brown shelves sometimes, since they were bigger and, without them, I need a display shelf, but mon pere has them now.</p>

<p>The paint job is pink, the floors are hardwood. The doors are white, the ceiling is plaster. The light is insufficient. The curtains have greenish and orangish dots, on a metallic dark tan fabric. The bed spread is green.</p>

<p>My room actually looks kind of drab, but:

  • Random items of furniture to think about are lava lamps, bookcase, odd chairs (inflatable, beanbag, egg, etc. to suit budget and taste) and dry erase board/bulletin board.
  • My walls are plastered with band posters, taped up sheets of bubble wrap (for stress relief), and magazine cutout collages (which are really fun to construct).</p>

<p>My friend has this room that’s animal-themed, and while it does make her seem ten years old it’s also really awesome. I’d say pick or find a good theme (pertaining to an interest or hobby of yours, some color scheme or black and white, shapes, etc.) and that should make everything else easier.</p>

<p>My room is what I had when I was 10 so it’s very girly…</p>

9

<p>Because this thread is nothing without pictures: (No full bedroom pictures cause my room is a mess and nobody here needs to [or wants to] see my bras scattered about.) </p>

<p>Yeah. It’s pink. I clearly have a very happy pink personality.</p>

<p>Closet:
I have three total in my bedroom, I didn’t feel like taking a picture of all of them since…well, they all look alike. Packed with ■■■. Although this particular closet is actually on the empty side. Everything that was in it is in a bunch of suitcases since I just go back from vacation.

<p>Yeah, I know my room sucks and makes babies cry. The latter part makes me smile, though–so I guess it’s a lose-win.</p>

<p>3 words - Giant American Flag</p>

<p>At home: my room is in the basement… It’s not a real room [I don’t have a room, for various reasons]. Pullout bed on brown leather couch, facing a large flat-screen T.V. with a wii, ps2, blu-ray etc. A section of the basement is a small but nice playroom for my brothers. Down the hall there is a bathroom with a nice shower [seat, ba.dass showerhead], which is mine. Deep beige/blue-gray walls with white trim, taupe carpet. Relatively large windows for a basement.</p>

<p>At school: Whatever room I’m put in for the year. I requested a single [and I will get one, as I was in a double this year], but the room depends on the dorm. If it’s in, say, LB or Peabody, it’ll be smaller, have a wood floor, ancient radiator, white walls, and smell funny. If it’s in Higginson or Kravis it will be larger, have thin blue carpet, wooden trim and smell better. Hallowell [the dorm I was in this year] is like Hig and Kravis but the rooms [except for the odd senior room] are smaller.</p>

<p>The corner furthest away from my door contains a gigantesque antique bookcase of the color mahogany. My favorite color of wood. T’is All. :)</p>

13

<p>mine is so plain…</p>

<p>white walls</p>

<p>bed</p>

<p>desk from ikea with a lap’</p>

<p>closet</p>

<p>books and clothing everywhere</p>

14

<p>My walls are painted pink. I have mismatched wood furniture… mahogany desk and bed, and a lighter-colored dresser thing. The queen-sized bed basically takes up most of the room, which isn’t that large to begin with. I have burgundy bed linens and a closet that is not nearly big enough. :D</p>

<p>I also have a bookshelf that’s in dire need of cleaning out… I have too many books. :P</p>

15

<p>My room has no theme whatsoever. Mahogany hutch on top of light-brown desk, blue mattress, red curtains, black dresser, white walls, dirty white carpet.</p>

<p>…Good lord.</p>

16

<p>Beige Walls, Framed Posters, Lamp and Desk, Carpet Floor, separate table/drawer thing for my xbox and 32" flat screen tv, bed with blue sheets and fluffy blanket :], dresser, yeah.</p>

17

<p>My room is very boring. It has white walls with crayon and pencil drawings all over it. (I get very bored.) I have blue carpet and a white-tiled ceiling. I have two beds, a twin sized bed and a Queen sized bed, just for me. (I like switching beds at times…) I also have a closet, shelf, and a TV. Yeah, that’s my room.</p>

18

<p>^i’m jealous. I’ve always wanted to draw on my walls. </p>

<p>Well, more like a mural but i’m convinced I’d find a way to screw it up.</p>

19

<p>Geesh, my room is so ordinary.</p>

<p>-white walls and ceiling
-beige office-type carpet
-ceiling light and fan, centered
-window with…white blinds lol
-ordinary-looking bed with two mattresses, pale salmon bedspread
-dresser w/ mirror kind of like this: <a href=“http://img1.classistatic.com/cps/po/100406/105r8/9351522_27.jpeg[/url]”>http://img1.classistatic.com/cps/po/100406/105r8/9351522_27.jpeg&lt;/a&gt;
-a night-table on either side of the bed holding dysfunctional lamp, basket w/ panda bear, embarrassing kiddy pictures of me my parents won’t let me hide from visitors, flashy trophies that, sewing kit my mom vainly hopes I’ll love one day, pins left over from jr. high MathCounts, etc.
-leads into closet on one wall, bathroom on other, and hallway on other.</p>

<p>Basically, unless you ditched my night-tables with all the junk, you would have no idea what kind of personality/lack of personality I had. At all. My parents pretty much arranged everything lol.</p>

<p>My room is a converted sun room. When you walk in, you face a wall with five large windows. I’ve removed the center window and replaced it with stained glass; the other four windows are plain with pale green curtains. The ceiling is a mural of space I finished around a month ago (depicting quasars, the Milky Way, random stars, etc on a black/dark blue background) while the walls are a muted shade of purple. My bed is on the ground with green sheets and blanket. Above it hangs a dreamcatcher I bought from the very charming gift shop at Cherokee when I dropped my grandma off.</p>

<p>The wall with the doorway is completely dominated with two bookcases I bought at a yard sale for $20. Old, mahogany. They have four shelves, the bottom fully lined with three rows of CDs and the rest with books. The wall opposite my bed has a very cool desk (old, mahogany) on which reside my laptop, a hand-painted lamp, and various textbooks. At my desk, I have a wicker chair on wheels. Beside the desk directly opposite my nightstand is a humongous chair/love seat monstrosity with the tackiest floral pattern one could ever imagine.</p>

<p>Then you have my short little dresser containing some of my clothes, located just below the windows. On top of it is my sea glass collection, riffraff pens that aren’t good enough for the desk, a TV, and a small mirror. On the hard wood floor is my 360, and stacked on top of that is Fallout 3, the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and COD: MW2. My closet is in the hallway.</p>

<p>I have a few small posters, including Stargate SG-1, The Office, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, MacGyver, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Arrested Development.</p>

<p>Oh, and seriously, everyone should make use of yard sales and eBay. I got most of my stuff from those places and have probably spent less than $300 total on my room.</p>
