Room decorating ideas help?

Room decorating ideas for guys?

• My parents told me I could redo my room, from paint job to decorations. I'm a 19 year old guy so I have no sense of decorating or knowing what goes together. Any ideas of how i can decorate and paint my room? I want something simple but that shows my personality. Here's a little about me to maybe help. I like animals, super heros, cars, sea creatures, different kinds of masks, stripes, painting, drawing, the colors blue and green. Any ideas of what you think might look good or websites will help. Or pictures or your room or other rooms that you like will help too. Like I said I'm a guy and have no sense of knowing what goes good together or how to decorate something.

• Answer:

  The first thing you need to do is to decide on a color scheme, whether you pick your bedding set first, then the wall paint color or vice versa. http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-collection/todays-colors/bold-invention/ - I like the Something Blue and Garden Grove colors on this page http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-collection/todays-colors/purely-refined/ -- Upward or Svelte Sage on this page There are also options where you can browse colors by color family (although I couldn't get it to load ATM). Another option would be to collect the multi-shade color cards at the paint department of Lowe's or Home Depot (even Walmart) in colors that please you. That way, you have a built-in monochromatic(shades & tones of the same color) color scheme right in your hands. Pick the medium shade for your walls and use the lighter and darker tones/shades for your bedding, curtains & stuff. The addition of black, white and/or silvertone accents will finish it off quite nicely Sources for bedding sets include the following: Target.com, Walmart.com, Overstock.com. Target also has a really cool selection of wall decor - posters, prints, actual canvasses and sculptural pieces. IKEA has some really cool/funky lamps like: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30184173/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80213597/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70180917/
