I'm struggling with decorating my new room please help?

Question

OK now I'm just 15 and I'm thinking about redecorating i want an honest opinion now how does this sound. One of my walls a black & white Zebra print wallpaper all other walls in a chocolate brown, furniture also some things with zebra prints & chocolate & cream based colours. What do you think any tips?

Answer 1

Personally, I think your wallpaper/paint combo will look very dramatic.  If you keep the furnishings in the space more or less plain, it'll look even better.  (Don't go overboard).  Also: be sure you have adequate lighting in the room.

A word of caution: wallpaper can be expensive; our tastes change.  Don't just think about the initial cost, think about how much it will be to strip it down in the future and repaint.  Have you considered painting the walls and using zebra print as the accent in the room?  In other words, you could have all chocolate brown walls, a cream comforter on your bed, several zebra throw pillows, a zebra throw rug, a bedside lamp with a zebra lampshade, etc.  The accessories are inexpensive and easier to swap out down the line as your tastes change.
