14 year old girl bedroom. new house new design?

Question

My family is moving soon. We were accepted with the credit and are moving November 13th. We only had a $1000 furniture allowance so I am with my old furniture. The room is 11.5 by 12'8" the closet protrudes which is fine and there is only one window. The wall with the window is opposite of closet and door. The wall also has a rust textured wall. It is like marble except rust colored. I was thinking of a natural feel. My furniture is a love seat and a couch at the moment. They are medium dark brown and are staying. I would like to build a coffee table and either buy or build a end table. The coffee table I was thinking would be clean lines very simple legs, only about 1.5 to 2 foot tall and 3 foot long 2 foot wide. I would have a glass top on it and instead of a flat top make a sort of box look with the glass as the top. Place pebbles me and my family collected in the mountains from a stream (roughly 1000 pebbles about quarter size) I am in photography so I would take photos of nature.

like we are going back to the mountrians on the 30th of october and the leaves are gorgeous. I would make them sepia the antique brownn and addin family too pets ext. Then add the top and thats the coffee table. In our current living room we have custonm frames for pictures on the wall. I'm going to make a remake of this in using a thin bordered picture frame and hot glueing sticks or pebbles on them. Then on my end table a very simple lamp in a neutral shade with a glass bowl filled with scented pine cones. I would find some cute accent pillows. I need ideas for window treatments and couch loveseat throws. colors for accent pillows and would sunflowers go with the room. I always have a vase of fake flowers. The walls would be a creme color since thats the only color they do besides white and mom says its a new house no need for us to paint it all (if i paint sisters paint their rooms). Let me knwo. Also any additional ideas. the carpet is light brown tanish. hope for good ideas. love!

i don't have a bed. ever since i was 9 i loved sleeping on couches. i never used my room except as a storage space. i slept in the living room until i got my own couch. i do like my color. i will be back on tomorrow evening please have LOT OF HELPFUL comments. the house is a trailer not a house house just thought id say that. well kk bye

Answer 1

You have no bed? I agree, stay with the neutrals since the rust is such a dominate color. The coffee table is fine (tho I'm concerned about glass in a bedroom where you can trip in the dark). Such display boxes were quite popular for coffee tables not that long ago. I remember some had stuffed animals (real animals, not toys) inside such as ground nesting birds with their nests, natural cover and stones. Interesting.

Keep the window treatment simple, make this unique table the focal point of the room. The lamp could be a clear glass cyliner that you fill with more pebbles (and the lamp guts) and a simple shade on top. (yes, the bottom of the cyliner would need to be cut out for the cord and lamp stem.)

Find a nice accent color...like a green of some time for use as accent pillow, matting or picture frames, ???

Answer 2

You should feel lucky you get something new to work with. If you like the color, keep it. To keep a natural feel, let the daylight in and don't have a lot of lights, they don't work with the theme. I am in photography, too, so I would take lots of pictures of close-up flowers, leaves in the fall, or a deer on the edge of the woods. You could even add a seasonal touch by taking pictures year round, putting all in frames, and change pictures as the seasons change, so you look like you redecorate each season! Most of all just do what you love, and put good vibes in the room(aka put stuff you love in the room!)! Good Luck!!
