14 year old redoing room: help with color scheme?

Question

i'm very girly..sometimes shy but with my friends and family i'm really outgoing and fun and loud. i can't choose on whether i want to redo my room black, white, gray, purple, and tan or all kinds of bright colors..my room is pretty small so i don't want it to look small...what colors will make it look smaller/larger? also will it be an eyesore if i do either orange and white or red and white stripes? thank you so much for opinions!! xoxo

Answer 1

I'm at the same age, doing the same thing and i have to keep it the same till 18. I'm thinking about doing mine tie-dye.

But you might not want to do it and its hard but its an idea.

try : polka dots

       stripes

       or just one color

Stick with colors you like and won't get sick of.  The colors you thought of sound cool 2 me.   Good Luck! =)

green and blue

Answer 4

You can do whatever colors are your favorites but stick to pastels for wall color... The lighter the color, the bigger your room will look. I like stripes but I'd be afraid of getting dizzy or making my room look like a candy cane. My room is sky blue and my white curtains make my room look bigger and let more light in. Light also helps the room look bigger. I left the flashy patterns for my striped pillow shams and polka-dot bed skirt. So use the bright, eccentric patterns for the little things. Then it'll be girly and exciting but it won't be an eyesore. Good luck with your room. =)

By the way- I'm 18 and I've had the same room design since I was 14. I'm still happy with it. It's easy to change the little things when the wall is a light, flexible color.

Answer 7

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think it would look terrific if you paint your room a pale pink like "young at heart" (# 7109). Then if you want a subltle difference on one wall, you could do vertical stripes in "extra white" (# 7006). It will be fresh & young, but still look sophisticated when you're 18/19.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
