Wall color? Should i do anything to the color of then furniture. It is already stained to golden oak. The comforter is white, pink, purple and has flowers. Small room.
Answer
Even modern homes sometimes have antiques. A few stong modern elements can go a long way to changing the overall feel, and some ideas would be a lot easier to implement than changing the furniture you have.
How about painting the wall behind your bed an accent color? An accent wall is a modern treatment, and you might consider something like a dark charcoal grey or a celedon (a very pale and toned down limey green)... look in modern design magazines for ideas on color.
And switching your comforter. Modern patterns tend to be HUGE flowers, geometric, or solid. It would cost you less than $100 to find a modern bedding set at Target or Ikea. Probably your current comforter is the main thing that dates your room, and even how you make it up might date it.
How about a modern lamp? Lamps are more than utilitarian, they are also like sculpture. Lamps can be expensive though.
Artwork. Fortunately this you can even make yourself. I often will use a design magazine for inspiration. You might get a good swatch of modern fabric and switch out the art in a frame you already have. In general for a modern look you will want to go LARGER with your artwork, or make a tight grouping of smaller pieces. Dotting the four walls at eye level with artwork tends to make a room look less modern.
I hope these ideas help, and good luck!

You're right, a bedroom should be all of those things! I'm a teenage girl too and I'm currently in the middle of decorating my bedroom! I've got some ideas for you here but just to give you a few ideas I'm doing my bedroom with purple, pink, and lime green. I've painted the wall behind my bed a really nice purple colour and I have a gorgeous purple, pink, and green bedding set. I'm gonna buy some cute lamps and a rug for my room and then I think I'll be done! Here are some ideas for your room:
First off, get a theme or colour scheme. For example, you could decorate your room in a shabby-chic style or maybe a more glamorous movie-star theme! It's up to You! If you don't want a theme then just get a colour scheme. Say, bright candy-apple green and lollipop pink! This can look AMAZING! This is a website with lots of different themes. Just click on the themes in the top left-hand corner for inspiration!

Move around your furniture if you think it will look better with, say, the bed under the window and your desk near the door.Now buy your bedding, paint, and curtains, as these can really change a room! Buy bedding that either matches your paint or is in a coordinating colour. Look at these websites or Google around for ideas and pictures!

You colud paint all your walls, just one accent wall behind the bed, (This is what I did in my room! :D ) or you could do stripes or wallpaper! It's up to you!
Once you've got your basics, do the really fun part. Shopping! Bring a friend if you like and go to lots of different shops. Try to look out for...
Beanbags,
Floor cushions,
Mirrors,
Wall Art,
Cute Furniture like trunks that you can store stuff in!
Lamps,
A cool headboard,
An area or accent rug (This is quite important!)
And stuff like that.
I think that's a great idea to do signs around the place! There are different ways you could do this:
*If you're creative, You could use blackboard paint and either paint maybe a whole wall of it or just a section, maybe in a cool heart or star shape! Then you can write and draw and scribble all over it as much as you like! The best part is, it'll be super-easy to put up a new word or phrase whenever you want to!
*You could also just paint, write or stencil directly onto the wall with whatever words you like. How about writing someting like "Freindship" or "Love" above your bed or window?! Ask your parents first though!
*If you don't want to do any of these, you can buy wooden letters from a craft shop and decorate them any way you want, then either attach them to the wall with glue, arranch them on a shelf, or hang them from the ceiling with pretty ribbons!
You can also display medals & trophies you've won, framed school papers, photos and general treasures to personalise your room. Have fun and enjoy it and if you're girlie, don't forget Fairy Lights!
