Question:
Ideas for a Rocker Themed Room?
Tired of Listening
2009-12-23 22:15:13 UTC
i'm a 14 yr old room, and i've been told that for christmas and birthday combined, my parents are going to let me decorate my room, pretty much however i want. so long as I don't completely ruin my room - that's my christmas and birthday present.

I'm really into music, and I have a few guitars, so I've decided that my plan is to theme my room in a 'rocker' style.

I'm going to stick loads of posters up - but so far that's the only idea I've got (yes i'm bad at coming up with ideas)

My main colour scheme is probably going to be mostly white, grey, red, and a spot of black - but not too much, or my room will be way too dark.

I'm mostly just looking at stuff like wall colour, furniture, sheet styles, and how i can really express myself through my room.

I have a pretty big room btw...so yeah.

thank you everyone :)

oh P.S., i have an ensuite - so if you have any ideas for that too...thank you. :)

something like this is pretty neat! I know the wall painting is probably more than you or your parents want to handle, so maybe a gray wall, with some posters IN FRAMES hanging on the wall.



DO NOT clutter your wall with posters, especially posters that are not in frames! They look tacky, and rip easily. you can buy poster frames at walmart or a place like it. If you have a wall thats your "main" wall, usually the largest wall in the room, hang 2 posters up in frames, and one of your guitars in the middle, or buy a cheap, cool looking guitar just for show!



Wall color id do something of a slate gray, make sure your trim is all white though, and maybe on 1 wall do a light redish tone strips. to accent it.



your furniture, id pick black. its not to much black and you can always change it!!.

lucky for you I participated in a "Decorator Showcase" house where they sell tickets to raise money for charity and all the decorators do a room. I did the teenager's room and it was a rock and roll room.

* So the room was painted a Robin's egg blue green with lots of black. It was really cool.

* Then we took cd racks, the kind that stand on the floor and we hung them on the wall: one higher than the other, and we turned them so the cd's went in vertically it looked cool.

* The bed was an IKEA pallet bed in black with a bead spread that picked up the colors in the room, but you could do a solid picking just one color. If you already have a bed, paint it black....

they can tell you how to prime the wood and what paint to use at the Home Depot. You can paint all the existing furniture black if you want.

* Then we ordered concert posters and old albums on line. We went to "Michael's Craft Store" to buy ready made frames for them (if they are collect able posters and there is lots of light in the room get them covered with UV glass to protect them," Michael's" has great framing sales and they only use UV glass.

* Since the room is big the guitars can stand on stands in the corner, but I would love to see at least one hanging on the wall.

*Last: you could also frame sheet music or use it to cover cool boxes or a trunk. Again, "Michael's" where you can buy cardboard boxes and "Modge Podge" which you paint a surface. It is like a glue, you glue the sheet music to it and then paint over the paper again....it dries clear and hard. You can get a cheap foot locker for the foot of your bed to keep stuff in and cover it like that with sheet music. Good luck!!!!!



if you do your colors: red black and white paint you walls red...."Dressage Red" by Ralph Lauren is an awesome red. The furniture black. and the ceiling and trim white.

I think a mural on one wall of the beach, looking out to the ocean would be cute. Or the pirate ship. You could paint a treasure map on the wall. You know like x marks the spot and have the clues going all around the room. that would be cute. I am throwing my little one a first birthday in a pirate theme. Love it!
