depending upon your age, I am guessing somewhere around 13-15ish??
Start with colors you like
Decide what types of styles you like
Find out what size room you have to work with
Decide what pieces you have to work with in your room, and where the windows are, etc.
Start out with the biggest piece to make a focal point in the room. Decorate it first.
Make the windows the 2nd priority to make a 2nd focal point.
Make sure you add a nice desk or even a sitting chair or 2 to the decor to invite guests.
Divide your room into work stations like a pc area, sleeping, dressing, and visiting, or reading area to make it as functional for your needs as it can be.
Pre-made pieces can be constructed for instant bookshelving, or stacked items to use for storage.
Mirrors make a nice addition since it reflects light, and makes the room look bigger.
Cloose favorite colors and shapes. Colors should reflect your moods and personality. Different colors of shaped objects in the decor like clocks, picture frames, chairs, floral arrangements, help accent every room to the max.
I like rummage sales to pick out different objects that look interesting and make a conversation piece.
Old books stacked are sophisicated, old dishes used for candle holders or jewelry holders are very stylish.
I look for objects that I might be able to hang my jewelry on for part of my decor, hold a hat, hold a throw blanket for those chilly fall days, baskets for holding makeup, brushes, etc.
clear shoe holders hang on the back of your door for all of those quick to get items used every day. school items, hair items, makeup, under garmets, cleaners for facials, hair, or just bathing, perfumes, ....anything you can imagine!
Use flat plastic containers to put under the bed for extra blankets, or extra decorations to trade out sometimes to make the room look a bit different without spending over budget. However you decide, it has to be YOU! Have fun sweetie!

Well how handy are you ? what do you have to work with? answer back please
Ok then Here is a pretty good place to see what you would like to do. Now go to HGTV When you get there look at there shows I love design on a dime they take what you have in the house and use it or re arrange it. You might get some clues there so check out the other shows like DESIGN REMIX . here is some examples Like if you need a desk and have a six drwer but some drawers are broken you can make one side drawers and on the side that has no drwers put a curtain on the other side and make shelveswhere the drawer glides were and wala you have a basically new storage. if it is dinged up paint it. Just one thing to decorate you need to know what kind of design you like if you like alot of different thing like shabby chic /gothic twist meaning white and black. I hoped i helped a bit oh another thing decorating nicely has to do with where you have your furniture and how much of it ok get a plan then you will have the ideas come flowing out okay

use some colorful place mats as wall art. use hanker chiefs as curtains (tie them together). and take some paint from that last school project and paint your desk! GOOD LUCK!
