ED HARDY SKULL BEDDING SETS

SKULL BEDDING AND DECOR


In case this fact has managed to escape you as it did me for a bit; Ed Hardy skull bedding is unbelievably cool. I know that those of you who come here for girls’ bedroom decorating ideas on a regular basis are more than likely scratching your heads and wondering what is up with that because I have raved about other cute skull bedding sets more than a few times in the past.

Well, what’s up is that Ed Hardy skull bedding is not your usual pink skull comforter set nor is it similar to the colorful collections decorated with hearts and guitars that I used on a project a while back. Hey, this same designer had a set called "Ghost" that had lots of color that was fun to work with a background in an interesting shade of aqua blue.

But the Tanya collection is where gothic bedding and decor meet French toile. SERIOUSLY, if you don’t get too close and don’t inspect the comforter too closely the navy blue and white print will remind you of toile fabric. Certainly it's not something that granny would want in her room (unless she is one funky granny!), but certainly something fun and unusual to consider for a teen that prefers a less complicated color scheme.

SKULL BEDDING for GIRLS

When it comes to skull bedding for girls I want to say that there is more to this style of decor than Halloween bedding with your standard fabric covered in witches and black cats.

The colorful skull and crossbones bedding sets that are available as we speak proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that when handled properly skeletons can be fun. In fact they have become so tame that moms are jumping on gothic pink skull baby bedding sets for their daughter's nurseries!

Let me see, how WOULD one go about making one’s earthly remains cheerful and cute? It struck me that the best way to proceed might be to take our cues from tattoos. Rarely do you see a tattoo design consisting of a single grinning skull. More often they are surrounded by the wings of an angel, roses or flowers that are in contrast to the bare bones of the design, if you will. This is a trend that seems popular with young girls, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

Recently a tween client started out requesting dark, gothic bedroom decor. At her mom’s request I managed to reach a compromise by suggesting bedroom decorating ideas based on a set of pink skull bedding for girls. To back up my ideas and to make them more appealing to a teen girl focused on skulls, crossbones, hard rock bands and guitars, I printed some examples of the colorful tattoo designs that I mentioned earlier.

The pictures helped to convince my client that skull bedding for girls did not have to be black and white. In fact the skull comforter set that we eventually settled on was a sight to behold in hot pink and turquoise bedding whose fabric had all the elements that she desired.

There were skulls, rock guitars, pink roses, doves, nautical stars, horseshoes and swirling banners printed with “LOVE”. And color, oh, what a display color did this set of skull bedding show. There was hot pink and lime green layered over the turquoise blue with touches of gold and brown shadows.

To put a finishing touch on the bedroom’s decorations we added a matching turquoise blue bed skirt, a hot pink flokati area rug and popped a hot pink lampshade on a lamp and called it a day.

PINK and GRAY BATHROOM IDEAS

Tell me what you think of these unique pink and gray bathroom ideas. The goal of today’s tips is to take your old fashioned pink ceramic tile bath out of the dark ages and make it so cool that you will have to leave the shower water running red hot all the time just to keep the mirror from frosting over!

Well, maybe I got a little carried away with that last statement but that is just how over the top I am with decorating the black, pink and gray bathroom that adjoins a bedroom that I decorated with a matching black, pink and gray gothic skull and crossbones bedding set.

The truth is that a space that at first glance was a decorator’s nightmare has turned into a before and after project of the variety that was perfect for a segment on a home improvement show on HGTV. Here’s the story of why I chose the black, pink and gray bedding and pink and gray bathroom accessories that you see in the pictures.

A family recently moved into an old house that had been inherited from an elderly grandparent. Like so many homes that are left when the owner passes away; it had great personality but it had not been updated since the 50s. The large rooms and beautiful woodwork was fantastic and the majority of the home was brought into this century with a new color scheme achieved with many gallons of paint. The biggest (and most expensive) challenge was updating the kitchen and one pink and gray bathroom that had a near perfect bathtub, commode (right down to the unblemished toilet seat) and tiled walls all in gray, black and pink.

Something told me that the owner had pulled the colors for the pink and black layout from one of Elvis’ early outfits. But since the teenage girl was not a fan of rockabilly, vintage or retro décor was not an option and neither was tearing out the powder pink and gray bathroom. Words cannot describe this teen girl’s delight at the reveal when she got an eyeful of her pink and gray skull and crossbones bed and bath. The skull towels and shower curtain was a perfect match to the decorations in her boudoir and the effect was very attractive if a little unusual.

The bottom line is that my clients were thrilled that they didn’t have to spring for a complete bathroom remodel and their daughter was so happy that I have made appointments for three of her friends to view my portfolio of teenage girls bedding and bedroom decorating ideas who are considering remodeling their rooms.

Wouldn’t you know that I’d find this set of skull bedding just after I spent an entire afternoon of my time convincing a teenage girl who had her heart set on doing the Goth bedroom thing that the gothic trend may have run its course? Not being one to easily admit to being completely and totally off base, even I have to admit that this feminine skull and crossbones bedding set is so cute that it just might breathe some enthusiasm into a reluctant decorator such as myself who was never really able to wrap her head around the dark side of bedroom décor.


As a teenage girl the idea of sharing a room with a skull comforter would have made my head spin like something out of The Exorcist. It was part of my bedtime ritual to have my mom or dad check under the bed and in the closet to be certain nothing evil had slipped in while I was away at school. To wake up in a bed decorated with grinning skulls and roses would have put me way too far out of my comfort zone.

Either I’ve become more valiant and brave as an adult or my tastes have changed because I find that this unusual set of pink and black skull bedding speaks my language. Pink and gray rooms have always been appealing to me so I may have to re-schedule an appointment with the girl who so adamantly tried to change my mind about decorating her bedroom and see if we might be able to reach a middle ground.

ROCK N ROLL BEDDING - DECORATE YOUR BEDROOM LIKE A ROCK STAR

The right set of rock n roll bedding should include any or all of the following decorative elements:

• Cool colors. Lots of pink, black and other hot colors are best.
  
• Graffiti
  
• Your favorite punk rock band’s name or logo
  
• Pictures of your favorite rock star
  
• Electric Guitars
  

Rock and roll bedding should have an attitude. Ever since Elvis Presley made the scene, teenage girls have wanted to decorate their bedrooms with pictures of the musical idol of the moment. Because of the King’s affinity for giving pastel colored teddy bears to his most dedicated fans they were used as decorations for bedroom walls for the better part of the decade of the 50s.

Times have changed and punk rock stars rarely are associated with any icon less shocking than bright red roses. And even then, the long stemmed roses may be threaded through the empty eye socket of a skull.

The style of rock n roll bedding and comforter sets that is most often seen in the bedrooms of preteens and tweens at the time of this article is those that are part of the Hannah Montana product line. Hannah Montana guitar bedding sets and wall decorations are big hits with the teenybopper crowd. For young parents who want their newborns to be hip, there is plenty of rock and roll baby stuff in the stores.

Older girls who believe they are too mature for Disney Channel viewing tend to prefer their rock star bedding sets to be slightly more graphic; or at least as graphic as their moms will allow. The perfect rock band bedding for this teenage girl might be as middle of the road as having musical notes and electric guitars printed on the fabric or more band specific. It’s common for record companies to use every means possible to promote the latest up and coming rock band’s world tour or recordings with t-shirts, posters and now to the delight of many a devoted fan; rock n roll bedding sets.
