I want to do a room design in sort of a city scape. But I don't know where to start. All I have right now is a massive grey room. Does anyone have ideas on how to do a city-esque room? Or can you provide links? I've been searching around, and I haven't found anything good, except for a red phone booth idea for the door.
Thanks for the help!
I'm looking for either New York or London. A very grungy city design to be more specific.

Find some funky lamps at a thrift store and spray paint them black and silver and rust.
Make a low table from an old pallett. Get 2 ...Lift the top boards and then set them together without a gap. For the legs use old lawn mower wheels http://www.homeaccentstoday.com/articles/blog/1960000396/20090413/986-Furniture_Factory_Cart.1_04-12-2009_K218Q29Q.standalone.prod_affiliate.81.jpg This will work for your TV and stereo.

Need decorating ideas for black bedroom furniture-please helpl?
tulsanurse
I have a small bedroom with a black bedroom set-queen bed, nightstand, dresser, and armoire. The walls are white with tan carpet. I went out and purchased a sateen black down comfort with a set of soft pink sheets but Im not sure Im going to be able to use it because there is just way way to much black. Can anyone suggest any ideas. Im just wanting a room that is pretty soft and romantic. I love the new furniture but I dont have any idea on how to decorate with it. Im not a "red" person, its never been one of my favorite colors. Any ideas on whether i should return the comforter and sheets and start over? I have no accents pieces yet so Im starting fresh.
Answer
pink works with black, tan works with pink, but I am not sure if you want to try all three. Maybe pull back on the pink to small items like alarm clock, bookends and such. Tan or white would be the best bet for the rest of the room. If you can paint, try a tan for 3 walls, leave 1 white and any trim white( paint is cheap and if you are renting be sure to ask first).You may want to use a throw blanket and some light decorative pillows on top of the bed to break up the black and try table runners or doylies on top of your cases. But if you are tight on money, Return the comforter and sheets to try something different.Maybe plain black and white will be pleasing, kinda go art-deco.
