Question : Moving and plan to redo my room…?
I’m moving soon to this REALLY big AWESOME house and I’m so excited, well I’m probably moving. But anyway when I get there I’m going to get my own room (have shared a room with my sister for 6 years ) and it’s going to be the GIANT loft! Anyway, I’m redoing my room and I need help looking for stuff for it. I’m painting it light blue and lime green and have sparkly blue curtains for the 1 window (we think there is a window) it’s pacific blue curtains. I have a white tall dressers and a white basket woven day bed. The floors are white wood. One wall of my room is going to be covered completely in posters and I am getting sushi shaped pillows for my room. If anyone has any websites they think sound like would have good decor for my room please answer. I want a new bedspread bookshelf, desk, side table, rug, and stuff to go on my walls. I’m really into Japanese anime and manga. THANKS!!! (btw I’m 13 and like all the peace stuff too)
If you actually read the question I know what kind of furniture I want and the colors but I’m looking for the bedspread I love and I want to know websites that have stuff I may like, I know what I’m doing with the rest of the stuff such as planning (mainly directed at Nurse Susan)
pacific pillows

1] first, figure out room plan – number of windows, doors, measurements, etc. so you can plan where furniture goes
2] get new furniture [ bookshelf, desk, side or night table, comfy desk chair ] to match or go with current furniture ] Furniture costs most and lasts longest of all room decor
3] THEN [ very important ] pick out comforter/quilt/bedspread you LOVE
a] pick out any matching stuff [ shams, pillows, bedskirt, curtains, etc ]at same time
b] include your fav relaxing colors – say lime, sky, and silver
4] then you pick wall color[s] from the bedding – much easier to match paint to bedding than wall color to bedspread etc. – say lime and sky
5] pick second/third color for large and small accessories
a[ large: rug, desk and/or reading chair, throw for bed or chair - say sky
b] small: lamps/shades, ornaments,desk/dresser accessories, vase/flowers, candles/holders [ say silver, and lime or sky ]
6] all metals should match – say all silver [ chrome ]. gold [ brass], copper, or iron for lamps, candle holders, pic frames
7] don’t do TOO many themes in your room – and make it nice so you w ill still like it at 18, too
a] maybe sushi and anime, or sushi and manga?
