How to make my room look blazin with DIY projects and creative ideas/how to deal with ugly walls and carpets?

The walls and carpet thing was not my fault. I knew what I wanted but my dad said that I might think it was stupid in about a year. The walls are beige and the floor is green, I have matching bedding- it's kind of a cabana thing going on, I even have a bamboo curtain for my window that i'm going to put up. How do I make my room awesome? I have a lot of different tastes, I kind of want a gothic looking canopy from Hot Topic and I kind of want these hanging light things that are white flowers that light up. I definitley will put pictures up and maybe I could do something to the floor to hide it? Please help, I dont have much money but a birthday coming up and I really want a room that says me better. Im an 18 year old girl.

The walls are easy, throw on some paint for starts.Then for som. diff. and cool try a wall of silky curtains behind the bed with some throw pillows. You can buy the fabric and get creative or buy off the shelf. What tends to work best for a personalized "decorated" look is the a lil this an a lil that techn. and just pull it all together. As for the carpet, have no fear momma Star is here. All you have to do is think of that floor as if it were a big ugly sweater. You wanna go goth or gurrly goth? All you have to do is find a color and dye it. Black would actually work well to really cover the green esp. if it's dark. It does work, trust me. It would help for you to scrap together some pics of things you just have to have and then work from there on color and other items. With your colors, to go for a cool dreamy effect i find it best to stick to a few blending shades. Like a deep modern(no baby shower!) pink- funky purple and smoky blue. Whatever your colors, just make sure they dont differ so widely that the room looks a jumble when your done. Good luck sweetheart, hope it helps.
Reply:Okay, you have the bamboo thing going on, so how about a grass-type mat for your floor. You can probably find one at a discount store, like maybe TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Target, Walmart, etc. Also check ebay.



The bamboo blind is easily decorated as well. You can make things stay on the blind by slipping things between the slats to hold them in place- I have metal iguanas and lizards, etc on mine in my salon.

If you don't have a headboard, you can buy awesome wooden bead curtains at Pier1. Hang them on the wall behind/above your bed.



Decorate away - and have fun.
Reply:To hide the carpet use black scatter rugs, add black picture frames and if at all possiable for your gothic theme black gauze curtins or any black curtins that are light weight. Use black light bulbs to create a mood when you just want to relax. Black medal canlesticks, accent pieces, curtin holds or furniture with black hardware. Paint can do wonders! You can find accents you like and paint them. If you can paint your furniture to match your gothic theme. Also don't forget the bedding if you can't get new bedding try hiding it by putting sheer curtins over it and accent pillows. It will look gothic then... for sheer curtins check the website below. Get them extra long if you want them to really flow or use as a bed covering. Measure across the bed and from head to foot. A scraf may work well for you. Try a metal headboard like a wall sculpure grill or even an old big picture frame painted black, staple some rice paper, fabric inside and hang it up on the wall. Or use more bamboo inside the frame, placemats work well for this.

Good luck!
