TATTOO BEDDING

GO HERE FOR MORE!


What if your mom won’t let you have the tattoo bedding set that you want? I can’t say that I’m surprised to hear from some of the girls who come here for bedroom decorating advice that their mothers pulled the plug on their projects when they realized that their daughters were leaning toward skull bedding and the like.

This style of decor does take a little bit of getting used to if you can my drift. There’s not a lot I can do if your parents have really put their foot down and said that there will be no tattoo bedding for you, young lady.


But what I can do is point out some cute comforter sets that offer a bit of a compromise like the Hello Kitty tattoo bedding set for teen girls or a pretty bedding with teal blue birds on it and soft inspirational words like “Beautiful” and “Love” printed on banners floating over hot pink hearts on a field of white. You might even find butterflies on tattoo bedding and sheet sets if you try hard enough.

With some compromise, the distance between tattoo bedding Sets and tween girls bedroom decorating ideas can start to diminish before our very eyes!

LIPS BEDDING

Would you classify lips bedding as retro? I’m on the fence as to whether a comforter set with big pink or red lips on a black background qualifies. Yet something in the graphics takes me back to the 80s and gave me the urge to experiment with using fabrics covered in them as well as decorative items in this shape for a college dorm that I am contracted to decorate for a girl who with the first glance at her outfit and her "big hair" made me think of a very young Madonna.

For this room that would actually be both a bedroom and sitting room, there was a need to tie the lips bedding set(or whatever style my college girl preferred) and the seating together in both color and design. As college girls usually don’t object to lots of color in their living area I thought that in light of the theme of the bedding that I would at the very least look for some pillows shaped like lips.

Boy howdy, did I ever hit the jackpot! Not only did I hit pay dirt in the pillow department I found the perfect sofa that would coordinate with the print of the fabric in the bedding set. I lucked up and came across a funky, red lips couch. The sofa will only sit two comfortably as it’s only about four feet wide, but the scale actually works with the small size of the dorm room better than a big sofa. And the red is a good match to the shades of red in the lips on the comforter. Granted, a lips shaped sofa is not for everybody, but for this young lady who is a throwback to rock stars from the 80s it was the best find ever.

Pink and Black Wallpaper for Girls' Bedrooms

You will not get any argument whatsoever from me that the current leader in pink and black wallpaper for teenage girls’ bedrooms is polka dots. Whether the dotted walls were created using polka dot decals and stickers or by using a stencil to paint the circles by hand; dots have ruled the roost for the best part of several seasons in the area of bedroom wall decor.

Far be it from me to suggest that the time may have come for black and pink wallpaper cutouts in polka dot designs to step down in favor of some other trendy color combination. Frankly, I am just as in love with them as when I decorated my first bedroom using them quite a few projects ago. But I must confess that I have been tempted to experiment using some of the cute
pink and black wallpaper borders that have just been released.

I would never suggest that pink and black stars, pink and black hearts or even
pink and black wallpaper with skulls to use as bedroom wallpaper to match the gothic bedding sets that goth girls love are an improvement over dots, just another option. There are even twisted, psychedelic checkerboard designs for retro bedrooms that when exposed to a black light that might give mom an aching head but tickle her daughter’s fancy for 1960s décor.

Other pink and black decorating ideas for girls bedrooms that I can hardly wait to try feature Parisian shopping scenes, wild animal prints like cheetah or zebra and shoes and purses for a little diva who hangs her hat on shopping for the latest, fashionable bedroom decorations.

RETRO PEACE SIGN WALL DECORATING IDEAS

After finding several cool, retro comforter sets I began to wonder how to build more retro peace sign presence in my decorating projects. As I have mentioned before, there is more and more evidence that a slightly modern 60s flower power frame of mind is creeping into this decade.

While I’m not wild about tie dyed fabrics or psychedelic black light posters of Jimi Hendrix decorating the walls of my own bedroom, I would be crazy not to enjoy jumping in the time machine and looking through vintage decorating magazines at the pictures and reading the articles filled with the funky decorating ideas from the days when hippies were having their heyday.

One theme that repeats itself in practically every photo is all of the different varieties of retro peace signs on the walls. A few stood out because of their unique design and method of display. For instance, one colorful decoration I plan to file in my flower power bedroom decorating folder for use later is so GROOVY!

First I will cut the heads off of large silk daisies (think Gerbera) and then I will stick the daisy blossoms on the wall of the bedroom in the shape of a large peace sign using adhesive. The cool thing about this is that I can hand pick the colors according to the retro peace sign comforter sets that my customer has selected to decorate her room.

I could easily find some vinyl flower power and tie-dyed peace sign wall stickers but I would not have as much control over the color scheme plus the decals are one dimensional rather then the eye popping 3D look that the artificial flowers give me. I’m beginning to really get why flower children loved those flowers and peace signs!

ROXY BEDDING SETS for GIRLS-BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!


I was recently contracted to design a bedroom around a collection of Roxy bedding. for girls using a tropical floral design. The tropical print duvet cover fabric had a unique color scheme of red and brown with touches of oatmeal and tan which was not a combination that you might have pictured for a comforter in a Roxy comforter set called Coconut.

Normally I see bright pink, blue and yellow in varying shades when teen girls want to take their decor in an Hawaiian style of decorating. This unusual hibiscus flower print bedding collection was different in that I could picture lots of stained wooden accessories rather than the flower arrangements and glassware or ceramics that came to my mind when the teenage girl called me on my cell phone to tell me that she wanted a completely "Roxy Bedroom" and that she had already picked out a set of Roxy Bedding for girls. Coconut being the operative word here, because brown was the key to decorating this room successfully.

The decorating ideas that were put into practice for this bedding set were tropical but grounded in woven rattan and dark stained woods. The headboard for the bed was woven rattan which blended beautifully with the wide slats of the dark wood plantation shutter window treatments. Accent pillows in a textured fabric that was an oatmeal color with flecks of brown decorated the top of the comforter and a chocolate or mocha tailored bed skirt balance the break between the bold print fabrics and the hardwood floor.

The surprising thing was that once the room was completely decorated I saw that the bedroom could have just as easily worked for a boy as a girl it was so lacking in girly colors. The tropical print on the Roxy bedding for girls was all that saved the room from being overly masculine in design.

Most teens or tween girls might find this Roxy bedroom a little mature, but this teenage girl was very involved in the selection of decorative accessories and she loved the outcome. I found the room very sophisticated but it still managed to give off a casual feel. I couldn’t help but wonder how we could use the same set of Roxy bedding with lighter, brighter colors and some fun accessories like monkeys for a truly tropical bedroom. Maybe next time.

DINOSAUR BEDDING - NOT JUST FOR BOYS!

GO HERE FOR MORE!




Let's take a trip back in time to prehistoric days when beasts bigger than some modern highrise apartments roamed the jungles. Most kids think that circus elephants are huge and they are correct, but how do we go about introducing them to be ancestors of these pachyderms? One way to educate them and have fun doing it would be to decorate their bedrooms in stylish dinosaur bedding sets reminiscent of pictures right now of Jurassic Park!

Tweens and preteens will be interested in the history and the adventure associated with the history, the wonder and charm of dinosaurs on their sheet sets as well as their walls and comforters. If you already have a jungle mural left over from the toddler bedroom theme, remove the contemporary animals that you might find in the zoo from the mix and substitute a Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus and others on their bedroom walls.
You don't have to have an predominantly emerald green color scheme to use prehistoric lizards and other creatures from the caveman (or cave girls) in your decor. There are dinosaur sheet sets and decorative accessories in contemporary colors of blue, red and maybe even some feminine styles in pink! Children need to know more about cave dwelling and the stoneage than what they learn from the Flintstones cartoons and realistic dinosaur pictures on the bedroom walls may be the best converstation starters!
