Teal Green and Orange Bedding for Girls

GO HERE FOR MORE!



Aqua or teal green and orange bedding for girls is striking, but throw in some hot pink, floral prints and retro rickrack trim and the look is sure to knock any tween or teen right off her feet. Standing alone the cool shades of blue in the aqua and teal bedroom decorations could hardly be considered memorable much less dramatic. And teenage girls are known to love drama. I ask you, who am I to deny a young girl the decor of her dreams? The problem is figuring out how to make her happy without wrecking the layout of the home’s color palette.

After a walkthrough of a client’s home it was obvious that the mom of twin girls had a love for the cool blues and greens that you might associate with the ocean. It was just as clear to me that the curtains, upholstery fabrics and floor coverings called for some warm colored accents to create a balance. A few throw pillows and decorative items displayed on the tabletops and shelves were all that it took and my client was impressed with the results.

She was so pleased that when I made the bold recommendation of decorating her twins’ bedrooms with bright teal green and orange bedding for girls I got the go ahead without the argument that might have otherwise been forthcoming. This is a perfect example of a time when offering a few hours of decorating advice free of charge pays off big time. If I had not taken the time to prove that I knew a few things about balancing colors (for a very cheap price I might add) the lady might have fainted when I suggested teal green and orange striped bedding lay the groundwork for the color scheme in her teenage girls’ bedroom.

Her daughters adored the hodgepodge of polka dots, stripes and funky floral bedding fabric and I came off looking like a decorating genius which does not hurt my feelings a bit. But I must confess that in reality a dummy could have made the bedroom look fabulous using the cute aqua blue, hot pink, green and orange bedding for girls that I picked up at a nice discount online.

Purple and Lime Green Polka Dots Bedding

GO HERE FOR MORE!



Purple and lime green polka dots bedding sets with a generous helping of flowers may or may not have been considered stylish to the hippie flower children back in the day. But let me tell you that no Boho babe worth her love beads can deny the appeal of a colorful comforter set covered in a retro floral design and polka dots in all the cool colors that match lime green.

The color lime green alone can be too hot to handle, but cool it down with lavender, purple and some white lurking in the background and you’ve got a bedroom color scheme that works. This is an excellent bedroom decorating idea for modern girls that like a little bit of free love décor without going too far on the psychedelic side of decorating and design.

Lime green polka dot bedding sets can bring a taste of sunshine into your home to lighten and brighten the atmosphere of the bedroom during the rainy months when we are waiting for April showers to take a hike so that we can get to the more colorful and fun May flowers. Speaking of flowers; they are super to give lime green polka dots some real punch in the retro decorating department. Too many circles and dots can become too monotonous. The floral designs give our eyes a break from the round graphics and provide a nice opportunity for spring flowers to make an earlier than expected appearance in our homes.

BOHEMIAN BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS

One of the best bohemian bedroom decorating ideas that I have experimented with in quite some time came to me recently quite by chance. Sometimes to move forward, it pays to hop in the old time machine and take a trip to the past. For that reason, I am known to skim over the people in old pictures in order to look at their surroundings much to the chagrin of my mother who wants my interest in old family photos to be about wanting to learn more about our kin rather than picking up tips on how they decorated their homes.

On my last visit home, I was looking through some pictures that were taken in a hippie style restaurant, cafe or coffeehouse back in the early 70s or late 60s. Looking beyond the stringy haired flower children wearing round Beatle style glasses, I was actually trying to pick up some tips from the wall and ceiling decorations that were used.

The pictures of the room decorations and bohemian decor were fuzzy and the colors had faded or bled to the point that details were difficult to pinpoint. But the photos were clear enough for me to know that I wanted to document what decorations that the proprietor had used to achieve his or her version of the soft, dreamy atmosphere that is the foundation of all bohemian bedroom decorating ideas.

To do this, I had to pick apart as many areas of the room that I could see and from what I could tell recycling was alive and well in the heyday of hippie décor. Threadbare oriental rugs were cut apart and used to make huge, throw pillows and as upholstery fabric. One of the most unique bohemian bedroom decorating ideas that I took from this vintage photo was how they used a large oriental area rug to camouflage flaws in the ceilings and walls.


I’m not for sure how they attached the rug to the ceiling but I would imagine that a staple gun could do the trick. I would start by centering the rug on the ceiling and start stapling from one side to the other letting the center of the rug hang loosely. Then, I would put a staple into the center of each medallion in the center to give the decoration a puffed or stuffed appearance that would, under the right circumstances, make the rug seem to be floating.

Now you see why I consider this to be one of the most creative bohemian bedroom decorating ideas; by recycling damaged rugs you can achieve the ultimate in bohemian bedroom style for a very cheap price.

OWL BEDDING, PILLOWS and DECOR

The latest owl bedding from
Pottery Barn Kids
brings to mind the owl decorating craze from back in the late 70s. Everybody was painting huge ceramic life size owls with those knowing yellow eyes and fluffy feathers around their eyes. The owl decor obsession fell somewhere between the psychedelic print phase and the mushroom phase. Warm fall colors of brown, pumpkin orange and yellow seemed to be everywhere from the kitchen and den to the baby's nursery.
There were hoot owl canisters on the counters and plaques on the walls, but I didnt' start pecking on the keyboard to boogie down memory lane. You can take a look in your mom's photograph album to verify the style of decorating that your home was sporting during that time.

I just found a really cute (and modern: no nauseatingly warm tones of bronze and orange, thank you very much) set of teen bedding for your little night owl teen to lounge on when she's supposed to be asleep in bed! It's called Night Owl (duh). The owl bedding fabric has a snowy white background with a nautical blue and red pattern of sweet little owls. It's got the comforter, the sheets, pillowcases, an owl shaped rug and even some matching red, white and blue tab top owl theme curtains!

The comforter print has a periwinkle blue background if the pictures on my monitor are accurate. I would say the best place for getting accessories for this particular bedroom would be the ceramic shop. One of the decorating ideas that popped in my head was a shelf display of a collection of big and small white glazed ceramic owls. If you know a ceramics artist, maybe she would make some bright red or nautical blue owls to use as accent pieces! Take a look and see if you can offer us some decorating tips for a teen girl's bedroom using this funky retro teen bedding collection!
