One of those mosquito nets, with the hoop inside, to hang over the bed? Can lend a tropical feeling to it.

Buy some sponges and cut them up in cool shapes. Dip them in paint and press them on yr. wall.

do what ultraviolet said, that's what i did, and now my room rocks. i absolutely love it. (plus, if u use the little squirt bottles of metallic paint, it gets this really neat affect) i did zigzags, and triangles and moons, but whatever sounds good to u, try it. also, if u do one shape and decide u don't like it, u can always paint over it and start all over. hope i helped (at least a little :) )

Thanks for everybody's ideas so far.That sponge idea is cool,i might think of doing that.I thought of another thing i can do,even though alot of people have done already is put glow in the dark stars on your ceiling in the form of constellations.So when u sleep it looks like u are sleeping under the stars!

A cool idea is to to get glow in the dark paint,use a toothbrush or something and use it to paint randow strokes on your wall.It looks really cool.

this is the same *me* who talked about doing my room with sponges, another plus is that it doesn't cost hardly anything!!!! just about 6 or 7 dollars....ohyeah......also........for 2 walls, it took, not even 1 of those little squirt bottles for each color. hope i helped


By MeG on Tuesday, October 6, 1998 - 09:04 pm:

ME that is a good idea,cause i have a limited budget,i don't have much money to spend on my room.The stars were pretty cheap only $6.Where did u get the sponges from???What kind of sponges were they?I heard that if u put the stars on the ceiling and the top fourth of the walls it gives a 3D effect.I spent an hour yesterday cleaning my ceiling for the stars,i was so exhausted after i was done,i didn't have the energy to put all the stars up.Any more ideas???U can answer my question or ask your own questions about decorating tips for people to answer.

this is *mE* from before, u can get the sponges at stores like Michaels or other crafts stores like that, it's best to get the sponges that are flat, and hard, that way u can draw a shape easily and cut it out easily, after that, u just get it wet, and it gets big and it's really easy to, just make sure when u get ready to use the sponges to spread out the shapes enough, and make sure the sponges isn't to wet, but it does need to be a little damp.....also......don't do more than 2 walls, other wise, the room will get to busy

mE,that sounds like a cool idea.Maybe i could use glow in the dark paint so it would look really cool with the lights off.I finished putting up my glow in the dark stars which u put on your ceiling and 1/4 the way down on your walls to give a 3D effect.I really like it.Now i just don't know how i am going to take them down!

What you should do is paint every wall a different colour, it's so cool - some of my friends have done that. Also, you could get a really cool mirror and those hangy beads to put at your door.
And if you can't be bothered getting a new carpet, just get a really funky rug that covers almost your whole room, ok byeeee

Okay ME i'll tell u if i try it.If i do it i'll probbaly just do it on part of my room cause i have a small room and i don't want my room to be to busy.
Illuvurt,i was thinking of ordering some of those
hanging beads from dELIA's catalog to put on my door.And also maybe another good idea is to take your idea of a mirror(have one already)and decorate it the way ME said.With sponges on them.
That would look cool.
