Room decorating dilemma!?
I have been trying to redecorate my room for quite some time now. I have lime green walls, a white ceiling, off-white carpet, medium-dark brown trim and doors (3 doors including closet), white blinds, a different medium shade of trim around the windows, a tan woven rug with a deep brown outline, 2 light birch wardrobes and 2 shelve units, along with an off white desk. As you can tell it is pretty mixed up. I am totally stumped on what to do. I want to keep the birch and I have to keep the carpet. Without having to repaint wood and whatever does anyone have any ideas? I am looking for a relaxed, sort of tropical place where I can still hang out in with my friends. It would be easiest to keep the walls green as well but if necessary i can change.

- Hmmm, lots of options here. Well, the first thing I would do if you want a tropical theme is to get some nice mosquito netting you could put over the bed. Something like this: http://images.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/946/559946_090817134718_mosnet.jpg You could also get some fake (or real) plants, depending on light, etc. If space is an issue, you can buy miniature palms, like these: http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/Party/imgtrmip_200_1711x2000?$product350$ You could also add a splash of an accent color by making or buying throw pillows with a bold color, like yellow or red.

- First pick your bedding. Here is a great one for you :http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=361978&CategoryID=27869 It still has green and it is much lighter than the brown all over your room. Paint your walls a light grey and all the moldings white.http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Match-of-RAL-RAL7040-Window-Grey-p/mpc0084317.htm You can add touches of other bright colors around the room. Here is another idea :Keep the walls lime.http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=455071&CategoryID=47842 Paint the trim white and exchange your brown rug for a blue one. One more idea :Keep the lime walls but again repaint the trim a white.http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Perry-Ellis-Asian-Lilly-3-piece-Comforter-Set/4998979/product.html .trade in your brown rug for some thing more colorful :http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Dershyl-Multicolor-Border-Rug-5-x-8/5107115/product.html Your furniture is all fine and will match with all these ideas. have fun decorating .
