Answer 1

if i was you i would go with white walls except one accent wall which you can paint pink. I would also go with the plain black and white zebra and throw in pink sheets, pillows and accessories. with this look you can grow it up by changing that one wall red or turquois and the sheets and pillows this will save you time and money.

Answer 3

Not at all! My room used to be hot pink and zebra stripes, and it wasn't kiddy at all. Try a pink bedspread or comforter with white and zebra striped pillows, maybe a big soft zebra chair, some zebra picture frames or candles, and a zebra lamp. You don't want to do too much, or it will end up looking a little kid-ish.

Answer 4

No, they're not kiddish at all! I think they're really cool looking and very appropriate for your age. It also looks really good with an intense hot pink. Not a light pink, however.

Just don't go overboard with it. I wouldn't even use it for the main comforter, just for the pillows and rug, probably. Just because it's really bold and busy, you know? But it's still really cool and adds a lot of personality to the room.

Good luck =)

Yea. I like that. Hot pink room with a zebra stripe border and a bed set of zebra. AND a pink carpet :)

Answer 7

We are doing the same thing

I just painted my room pink & I want zebra border around the top.

But I seem to not be able to find the Zebra Border ANYWHERE! [if that is what you are doing; anyways] but im 22, not really a teen. im very girly girly though ;) .. Good Luck! . Oh and I've also got the zebra rug and Zebra comforter at JCP as well.

www.RockYourWall.com has a lot of cool things like Pottery Barn Teen for a lot less money! You can cover cork tiles in zebra fabric for a really cool bulletin board.
