Good Color Combinations for a Teen Girl's Room

Pink and Black

• Pink and black fit the bill for dramatic and bold. The great thing about working with these two colors is how you can transform a room without painting the walls. While pink walls with black furnishings are a winning combination, you can achieve the same effect by working with color throughout the room. Start with wall decals of your girl’s favorite things. From music notes to ballerinas, the choices are limitless. Add bursts of black and pink with pillows, lampshades and a rug. Look for white fabric with black or pink silhouettes for added fun.

Orange and Yellow

• Color your girl’s room happy with orange and yellow. This combination is anything but boring and you can easily incorporate it with any decorating style you choose. If your girl wants a feminine feel to her room, choose peach or coral shades with pale shades of yellow. For more drama, mix tangerine and lemon stripes together on the walls. For a more whimsical look, try painting circles on the walls and decorate the bed with round orange and yellow pillows.

Retro

• Go for a flash from the past with a retro bedroom. Use primary colors red, blue and yellow together for a funky vibe. Vintage posters bring color and style to the room. Hang a beaded curtain from the closet door. Look for chenille pillows and a bright beanbag for soft comfort. Tie-dye white curtains with these colors to complete the look.

Metallic

• For the girl that likes all things shiny and shimmery, go for metallics. The best way to make metallics work is to bring them in with accessories. Polished silver lamps, star or butterfly wall decorations, and drawer pulls bring the look of a room together. Lean a full-length mirror against the wall to brighten the room. Pair silver with blue, purple or red for bold rooms. White silver is contemporary. Another metallic option is gold. Look for gold-framed mirrors, gilded picture frames and velvet pillows for the girl ready to be grown up. Combine this with black furnishings for a glam look.
