help with ideas for a teen's new bedroom?

Katheryne

I've finally convinced my parents to let me make use of the empty room that was built onto our trailer before we moved in. It's more like a storage room, but we're making it more liveable at the moment. :D The room is huge! Bigger than anything Iâve ever had before. It even has a fireplace.(though it isn't useable) Anyway, I just need some ideas on how to decorate it. Iâm planning to decorate it as more of a bedroom/media room. I really want to do something crazy with the ceiling, since we're basically rebuilding it.

I was thinking of doing something like this with the ceiling: http://images.vrbo.com/vrbo/images/17bd88
(an idea I found on here actually) but i'm afraid of fire hazards since Iâm doing a sort of fairy lights thing where strings of white lights swoop down along the top of the walls.

I'm not sure on how to decorate the room. Like where to place the entertainment center or sofa and chairs. I'm just all out confused, really. T^T

I'd really love it if someone could help me with some advice =)

here's the layout of the room if it'll help: http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww39/gravitygirl911/newroom1.png

Answer
Start with the raised platform area, place your mattress on the platform or bed, use a solid color paint (Rusty Red, Teal Blue or Khaki). The cream colored drapery ceiling can be fitted just above your bed. Hang a small chandelier or the fairy lights above & side of the walls Avoid candles & place a lampshade (use warm white). Hang a dark brown String Curtain as the foot of the steps so a little privacy (peeka boo feel) :)
Seating can be place around the fireplace (focal point), hang the TV just above the fireplace, if you need heating buy an electric fireplace (BURLEYS) or otherwise fill it up with candles of different sizes.
If you can't hang your TV than place it on an entertainment center with your sound system at the other corner (opp closet), place your sofa there instead & have some throw pillows or low seating near the fireplace. Rest of the room can be painted Butter Yellow or Cream.
Other decor to consider sea shells, glass bowl with beach sand with candles inside. lots of throw pillows, pictures, wooden shelves, lampshades, indoor plants, rugs...

I need ideas for designing my narrow living room?

GENAS M

Ok so I just bought a small town house. The living room is narrow. 11x19. One of the 11" walls has windows. the other is just a plain wall. one of the 19" walls is plain while the other has the staircase going upstairs and a half bath, really can't do much on that wall. I want to buy new furniture but it's difficult with the narrow space. I currently have a small couch on the plain 19" wall, a small chair in a corner and my tv in the corner in order to view it from the couch. I also have a small dining room table by the wall with the windows in order to fill that space. I don't mind getting rid of the table if i have the right furniture to fill it. I have a sketch and photos of the area, anyone able to help me out?

would I be better off with a sectional? sofa and love seat, softa and chairs? electric fireplace etc....

Answer
My living room has somewhat similar diminsions and this is what I have done-

1st Long wall- 3 seater couch and an end table that doubles as storage. Depending on how many people will use the room, you may want to consider a long sectional, but I would skip any chaise sectionals since they will take up floor space. Example of sectional http://www.potterybarn.com/products/buchanan-3-piece-small-sectional-with-wedge/?pkey=cupholstered-sectionals Or an extra long sofa like this http://www.potterybarn.com/products/buchanan-3-piece-small-sectional-with-wedge/?pkey=cupholstered-sectionals

Short wall with windows: Single chair for extra seating, small cart with plants. If you went with the sectional, I would put the corner here. If you did a sofa, I would consider a chair without an ottoman here.

2nd long wall- Desk, TV, two extra tall bookcases I would consider putting together some kind of cohesive storage combination like this http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S29864163 this http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59831232 or this http://www.potterybarn.com/products/logan-large-media-system-with-bridge-save-670/?pkey=cwall-systems but don't get something with loads of open storage unless you have stuff to fill it. Cabinents can be left empty until you collect items that need storage, but a 3/4 empty bookcase looks sad. I don't really get why you have your TV in the corner to begin with. It seems like it would shift the whole room towards the TV rather than make it blend in.

Center of room- Ottoman coffee table for me but a regular coffee table may suit your purposes better.
