Unusual Decorating Ideas for a Teen Girl's Room
A Girl's Room Ought to be Uniquely Decorated
Some things teens like are clothes, shoes, jewelry, make up and music. One suggestion for decorating in a unique way is to glue or otherwise attach these items to the walls, ceiling, light switch and headboard. Unused cd's make perfect coasters and wind chimes. Flip-flops and sandals, no longer worn, can be attached to look as though they are climbing a wall. Sew pockets onto the lampshades and shirts onto the curtains. Shirts can also be scrunched onto a rod by threading the rod through the sleeves. Staple or otherwise affix jeans, belts, suspenders, colorful socks and even jewelry to the ceiling. Other things to attach to walls and ceilings are envelopes, books, pencils, purses, stuffed animals or old album covers.
Scarves are gorgeous when used for decorating. Tie one or more to the chain on a ceiling fan and allow it to dangle in the center of the room. Hang one or two over the existing lampshade. Tie several together, end to end, and attach the two ends of the arrangement to a wall. Use colorful clothes pins to hang photos, jewelry and purses. Tie scarves around doorknobs and allow to hang or wrap scarf all the way around for a whole new look to the knob.
Fasten sheets to the ceiling, with the bed in the corner, to form a curtain around the bed. Or place the bed in the center of the room and sew four sheets or lace pieces together into a giant rectangle. Find the center of the fabric and attach it to a point over the middle of the bed. Allow to drape all the way around the bed, to the floor.
Use foam sheets to fashion dolphins, dollar signs, giant coins, flowers or other shapes into wall border. Glue or otherwise affix the shapes around the baseboards or the top wall edge. The foam can be found in large sheets perfect for cutting out shapes of people, animals and words for the walls. Other cool ways to use foam is to cut out foot shapes and glue them to the floor, cut pieces for night stand tops, cut out flowers and glue them all over the bed and dressers or cut them into picture frames and attach them to mirrors.
Small details can really look cool. Use play coins to place in the recessed part of certain types of doorknobs, and paper money to affix in various locations around the room. Decoupage the paper money onto trash can, end table or dresser. To prevent ruining good furniture, arrange the money or other flat objects onto the table or dresser top then cover with a large pane of glass. These decorating tips are great for a younger child's room. For a teen's room purchase paper money that looks almost real then use it as wallpaper for a whole wall or the entire room.
Mask off squares and other shapes with tape then paint the wall. Use molding pieces to outline the shapes. The girl can use the shapes to attach photos which will appear as if they are framed. It's easy for the teen to change the pictures at any time. Hang netting or lace on a wall and use clips of all sorts to attach photos and other memorabilia. Or attach netting to the ceiling and hang anything lots of items or just leave as is.
Make your own faux fur rugs by using fusible webbing to affix the fur to rubber backing. Other cool ways to use fur are as a throw for the bed, a cover for an end table, to make giant letters for wall hanging, or even to glue to a lamp base.

Post a Commenti like these ideas cause in a normal girls bed room you dont see these kinds of things so i would totaly do some of these things to my room X3
I have to admit it is different. I mean no one I know would have everthought of that...but then agian every one i know is normal and not totally insane
wow seriously? these are horrible ideas, who is that tacky?
listen up, if your a girl thats not all into the whole pink frilly foofoo poop than here are some ideas that i think are pretty cool:
light blue, lime green, burnt reds and yellows are all cool color accents for a room and curtains are always a nice touch (just dont staple you clothes to them) go out and find a cool old comfy chair, bean bags, or a couch from vintage or thrift stores (cool and inexpensive)
if you want to hand something from the cealing then why not something cool? go out and find a macrome plant hanger, (they can be really beautiful and totally 80's) I hung one up in my room andn put a fish bowl in it with some goldfish, it adds a unique touch and something non of your friends would have, another GOOD idea is to hang up art, old black and white photos or records up on the wall, ADDS A NICE TOUCH! just be creative and unique and show YOUR OWN STYLE without breaking the bank or going insane like whoever wrot
If my mother suggested those ideas to me i would probably slap her across the face and never ask her opinion on anything ever again. this is redic.
wow, seriously? have you been living under a tacky rock while under the influence of crack or something? i mean come on, as for money on the wall. . .? i think the next time you write an article you should clean and SOBER. but keep on posting more, you crackhead. ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO GET A BIG LAUGH!
k those are some of the weirdest ideas I've ever heard of.
Imagine, girls, you're sleeping in the middle of the night and a JEAN LEG BRUSHES AGAINST YOUR FACE BECAUSE IT IS HANGING FROM THE CEILING!!!.
But seriously. Thats insane.
I'm going to be a teenager in three weeks and i don't like frilly, pink or ordinary, but non of that sound at all unique or at all like something i would do to my room.
yikes, did you reread your ideas, goodness, shirts on curtains? pants dangling down? old makeup glued to wall. NEVER would a teen do that.
k jeans on the ceiling come on seriuosly ,but hey u neva noe sum 1ight lyke it ,but me personally ,i dont think so.
who ever wrote this has problems. who the heck wants flip flops and jeans on their ceilings? and i agree with everyne who thinks this article is pointless and plain stupid. and i came on this sight to see if there were going to be any good ideas but... wow. now excuse me while i go staple my jeans ro my wall and glue some paper money to my floor.
