Small teenagers room, who likes black/punky/goth stuff - any ideas?

im hoping to redo my bedroom because its simply, hideous. unfortuantely i like black and white stripes, skulls, bright obvious colours and the like - things you should really avoid when decorating a small room.


has anyone got any ideas that wont make my room feel like my own little hell?


note: its a north facing room if that makes any difference

Try painting the walls a dark grey. That way they're dark, but not black. Dark colors will actually make you're room feel bigger because they absorb light instead of making it jump around. You could find a black and white comforter to put on your bed, maybe throw in some skull fabric (we did that for my brother in law). As far as colors go: add that in your carpet, accent pillows, posters, pictures/picture frames, books, any and all accesories. Good colors to stick with would be bright ones like hot pink, red, yellow, orange - that kinda stuff. Hope this helps!

i agree with you on totally dark walls will make you feel very closed in on. how creative are you feeling? i would say, paint two walls a solid dark, maybe the deep gray, or even the black, just know that it will be hard to hide that if the room is ever to be painted a light color, not impossible, just lots of primer. anyways, 2 walls dark, then 2 walls white, with black stripes. to do stripes, you need to carefully measure, start from the middle of the room. work to the corner. measure the width of your stripe, using painters tape, run the tape from ceiling to floor, making sure the edges of the tape are tight on the wall, to prevent seepage. paint your stripes, let dry to the packages suggestion, and lift off, there are your stripes. use your bright colors to accent, i would also use silver or pewter colors with your skulls and spikes. you can drape sheer black fabric, or deep gray fabric over windows, lamps, just make sure the fabric is not flammable, and is not touching the light bulb. use mirrors, draping the fabric over them too for a demure Gothic looking effect. check eBay for Gothic decorations or even bedding..


good luck, have fun
my teenage days are long gone %26amp; I now have teenagers--I am also an artist :). Our basement is their %26amp; their friends hangout. I painted the entry way to our basement to look like stone castle walls %26amp; I painted the door to look like an old medieval door. I am yet to get around to painting a flying dragon up on the ceiling. It turned out really good-wish I could post a pic for ya. My youngest son was really into astrology so I painted a huge celestial leo on one wall (I used pointelism %26amp; a silver paint pen to create the illusion of stars)---took forever to do but turned out awesome.
Why don't you get counseling first, then paint your room.
