How should i personalize my room ??

Question

okay, im getting my own room (but it has a bunk bed in it). its not all that big, i dont really like the color of the walls, and i really just want to make it my own. suggestions?

i could get some furniture, but very cheap and not a lot.. ideas?

btw, my parents said i cant paint it, and its like a periwinkle color. ( light purple ).

Answer 1

Oaky not trying to sound rude but asking this question doesnt make sense if you want to "personalize" it. Personally, I would go to a second hand store and buy all the cheap stuff I could that I liked to make my room look more like me, but I like old stuff. and feathers. Maybe you can put up posters pics whatever, just stuff you like that your parents will allow

Answer 2

Just anything thats u thats whats important

Answer 3

buy some cute ribbon and clip some fun pics on it & tack it to ur wall!

buy a new comforter & sheet set!

put lots of memorobelia in your room (e.g pics of family & friends)

and one word...

STORAGE

buy baskets & shelves to store your stuff...it comes in handy, believe me lol.

i garentee that everything listed here is under $20

Answer 4

I don't know if you have any artistic talent or not, but you could take some of your drawings/paintings/etc and get them laminated (if they are on thin paper, otherwise they'll probably be fine) or put them into frames and hang them up.

Posters are good, pictures out of magazines are good, you can get wallpaper type "stick-ons" that come in some different designs. The only real limitations are your imagination and your budget.

Answer 5

get a rug and a nice bed set

then maybe a desk

and lots of pillows

maybe a chain of colored lights

Answer 6

you could put pics up of you and your friends...maybe get some ikea furniture...like a desk or colourful chair...ikea is cheap for most things...what about some colourful baskets you can get @ the dollar store...etc

Answer 7

If you're creative/crafty, why not draw or paint? That's what I do. I surround myself in the things I love the most, and that's the perks of having my own room [[finally after sharing with two sisters much of my life]]. You could also just put some posters up if you aren't into art or some pictures of you and your friends etc.

Answer 8

Purple is the it color right now, so it will be easy to accessories. As for the bed, sleep on the top & if possible remove the bottom bed & insert a desk in there, you will save on space this way.  

Answer 9

oo maybe u should hang some posters up or buy a pretty lamp o and it would b nice 2 put those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling too. just make it nice and comfortable.  

Answer 10

you can put up posters or pictures that represent you.

or you could put up wallpaper.

or you could get cool sheets/bed set that resembles you.

or get cool furni like dressers and shelves and night stands.

hope this helps.

Answer 11

If you could dismantle the top bunk this would make your room appear bigger for a start, see if you can store it in a garage or under someone elses bed at home, then you could get some baskets or just cardboard boxes and paint those (or put a funky contact over them) that would give you extra (cheap) storage under your bed for shoes or whatever.

Buy some funky material that you like and hang that from one wall and make cushions with the excess.  That saves painting and if you get sick of it you can shop for new material!  You could just join it onto the wall using velcro strips.  This will give you an accent colour to work with.  

Hang some of your favourite pictures/posters up on the walls.  A mirror would also make your room 'feel' bigger'.  There are so many things you can do that are quite inexpensive just let your imagination run wild.  Any 'new' cheap furniture you buy you could paint in your accent colour.  You can buy small 'tester' pots of paint which will cut down the costs quite a bit too!

Good Luck and have fun :o)

Answer 12

I know you cant paint

but chalk paint is awesome

You apply it to the walls

Let it dry

and write on it with chalk!

Its completely awesome

and deffinalty personalizes

any room!

Answer 13

Well if it's possible for the bed to do this then take the top part off (the upper bunk) and just have the bottom bunk. Theres not going to be two of you in there so just get rid of the top bed.

Second you MUST choose the furniture you want BEFORE you start painting. If you paint the walls before you start picking the furniture, you might not find the furniture that exactly matches the walls. Then you paint while your furniture is picked out and is ordered and on its way. The when the furniture arrives make sure that the paint is dry. Then put the furniture in and have a nice cozy, your own personalized room!

Good Luck!

Answer 14

organize the colors that describe your personality

put the stuff that you like really

you could put  up posters and pictures on the wall that describe your personality too

Answer 15

ok...i think you should decorate it to who you are..

and as for the bunk beds you should take the top bunk down..and have it on the other side of the room.. that way if u havea  friend sleeping over..they can sleep on the other bed..

ok...so heres a couple of things that i think i would put in my room if i had my own room..and to cover up the walls (you say you dont like the color)

-name ( on wall..those cool ones..) which ever design you want you can buy the letters from MICHEALS ARTS AND CRAFT

-posters ( fav. artists, bands, etc.)

-cork board (to put ur pics and memories on) they have cute ones too..lmao

thats all i have for right now... umm as for your surroundings...

which ever furniture fits you! what you think is cool and that you like..its ur taste that will make the room..and everyone will know its soo ur personality. hope this helps

Answer 16

try getting a large cork board (like a bulletin board) and pinning up all sorts of photos, ticket stubs, magazine pages, whatever.

find small furniture items like desk accessories at yard sales and paint them to go with your room

make a college of magazine pages on your wall shaped like the first letter of your name, or a heart or something

get lots of fun pillows and pile them on your bed

find fun furniture, like bean bag chairs or something

get mirrors that are cool shapes

put up some hooks on the wall and use them to artistically display purses, or whatever you want

get cool looking curtains and a bed spread, something bold that pops out from the wall color, but still looks nice with it

i have stuff in my room like an exit sign above the door (which i found in my grandpas bassement) and a suggestion box (that i got at a flea market), just look for stuff that no one you know has, but is still awesome

Answer 17

posters and pale pink pink stuff

Answer 18

Put up your fave posters. I have over 100 diff. things hanging on my wall. It is so me that no one could ever immitate it.

Answer 19

posters!
