Designer Tips...What’s Hot<br />
Somewhere between “little girl” and “teenager” girls begin<br />
to develop an increasing interest in their bedroom’s décor.<br />
With strong opinions about fun and fashion, most exercise<br />
a significant influence when it comes to decorating their<br />
rooms.<br />
When selecting the color scheme for the room, a good<br />
rule of thumb is to begin with the rug and the fabrics for<br />
the bedding and windows. Since there are infinite shades<br />
of paint, but only a few ideal fabrics, don’t make the popular<br />
mistake of selecting paint color first. Don’t be afraid to mix<br />
patterns, colors, and textures.<br />
Just as little kids love the cozy, cocooning effect of playhouses,<br />
tents, and forts, preteen girls love the intimate<br />
sleep areas created by tall headboards, mock canopies, and<br />
screens.<br />
When selecting furniture for the pre-teen’s room, think<br />
versatile, quality, and non-trendy for this most expensive<br />
component of the project. Keep in mind that fads are a fleeting<br />
thing – achieve your thematic decorating through easily<br />
replaced accessories such as pillows, lamp shades, and art.<br />
With careful planning, your teen’s newly decorated bedroom<br />
will delight her until she gets ready for the next big<br />
challenge in your lives: College!<br />
