I am a teen girl with a golden oak bedroom set. I want to re-do my room to make it look more modern Any ideas?
Wall color? Should i do anything to the color of then furniture. It is already stained to golden oak. The comforter is white, pink, purple and has flowers. Small room.
Even modern homes sometimes have antiques. A few stong modern elements can go a long way to changing the overall feel, and some ideas would be a lot easier to implement than changing the furniture you have.
How about painting the wall behind your bed an accent color? An accent wall is a modern treatment, and you might consider something like a dark charcoal grey or a celedon (a very pale and toned down limey green)… look in modern design magazines for ideas on color.
And switching your comforter. Modern patterns tend to be HUGE flowers, geometric, or solid. It would cost you less than $100 to find a modern bedding set at Target or Ikea. Probably your current comforter is the main thing that dates your room, and even how you make it up might date it.
How about a modern lamp? Lamps are more than utilitarian, they are also like sculpture. Lamps can be expensive though.
Artwork. Fortunately this you can even make yourself. I often will use a design magazine for inspiration. You might get a good swatch of modern fabric and switch out the art in a frame you already have. In general for a modern look you will want to go LARGER with your artwork, or make a tight grouping of smaller pieces. Dotting the four walls at eye level with artwork tends to make a room look less modern.
I hope these ideas help, and good luck!
