I'm fifteen and I'm really into Metal, Skating, Punk...that sort of thing! I painted my room black and red but i don't really know where to go from there. I have a canopy bed and wood floor what should i do from there?

Nice parents you got. Hm, I have about 20 years on you so you may want to discard this answer on that basis. But having been in many rooms belonging to people who were into punk in the 80s, here are some suggestions:
Get cinder blocks and wood. Make some bookshelves. You can paint the wood black if you'd like. Flat spray paint is good, just do it outside or you'll get sick from fumes.
Give your friends silver metallic sharpies and let them draw on a section of your wall. If they draw something stupid, you will paint over it.
Take all the annoying bad cd singles that you get at the music store when you buy anything. Hammer them, face to the wall, into the wall with skinny nails. Pretty sparkly fun. Stick them to the ceiling with the poster sticky stuff.
Cover (inside of) door with board stickers. Stickers could also go on the floor, but this will probably not go over so well with your parents.
Remove whatever bad print canopy is on your bed. Buy a net/sheer fabric or plain red cloth at the fabric store. Hang that instead. If you can't get lots of it, just make panels and tack them up to the top with thumb tacks. Tie back with black ribbon. It's a little more goth than punk, but much better than gingham or pink flowers. You can get extra of this cloth and use it for the windows too. No sewing is required if you get a bunch of big safety pins and use them to make pockets for the curtain rods. Most fabric stores have a "remnants" table where the cloth is reduced price. Make sure you check that out first.

If you are lucky enough to have an artistic side, find a skateboard at a garage sale or thrift store and paint it with words or symbols, stash in a basket or hang on a wall. Or, (check w/ parents first) make one wall a autograph wall for when you have friends over they can sign and date the wall (like one of those books that people pass around on the last day of camp)! Hope that this helps!

Go to a fabric store and buy some fabric to make curtains out of. You can do it by hand too. It's not hard at all. See if you can find some fabric that would go with the red/black and possibly have a musical "look" to it.

get those new sticker post its and take so many pics so that it fills up a whole wall. Try to get an area rug or shag. i think it would be cool to incorperate white into the theme 2. o and if u like blood try taking red paint and paitning parts of the room with stuff that looks like blood.

hmm, a punk-a-licous faux fur rug perhaps, maybe you could use an interesting fabric for your canopy, put a hole in the wall (very punk rock) maybe spray paint an anarchy sign....the trick ios to make it look disorderly in a fashionable way.
oh yeah! my boyfriend likes to take skate boards that he broke, and he'd screw them them to the wall. that was cool.
