How to Decorate My Teenager's Room in Pink & Black

If you teenage daughter is yearning for a new, eclectic bedroom look, go for a pink and black color scheme. Pink and black is a dynamic color duo in that the hues balance each other out. Black keeps pink decor from appearing too sweet, while pink lightens up black decor. A black and pink bedroom color scheme can look either whimsical or glamorous, depending on the teen's personality and the decor pieces she uses.
