Unsure of where this goes; PLEASE help though!

[marley_11]

Not sure where else to put this, so here goes..
I'm redecorating my current bedroom, but I'm not sure of the exact size. It is quite large though, I have 6 walls but they are all oddly lengthed and shaped. I want to do a Rasta/Bob Marley/Peace theme but I'm not sure how to start. I have vague ideas in my mind such as painting all walls a pale-yellow or red, then leaving a smaller wall white and having someone paint either a peace sign or Bob Marley's face on it and having the red, yellow, and green stripes going towards it. =O= (kind of like that, only 3 lines and not an O). Only problem is, I want vintage-ish photography in there and my favorite color is a neon-ish blue :/ .. Any ideas? ALL tips are appreciated

Make sure you set a budget! I know that I personally, always get carried away when shopping for my bedroom. It's good you have a theme to go towards. I would make a list of what you need, like new bed sheets or even a new bed, whatever it is, and then go online and look at what prices are at different stores and what you like. That will make kind of like a price range and narrow down the stores you'll go to. For the paint, check out the sale paint first. You know the stuff that people buy but then return and the store sells for WAY less? You'd save a lot of money if you can find what you're looking for in there. I would also suggest going to second hand shops to get the 'vintage' kind of vibe. You'll never know what you'll find there. Maybe even sew your own curtains out of old sheets if it's cheaper that way. Take your favorite pictures of you and your friends and edit them on picnik any way you want (You could do the old 'black and white' to go with your vintage theme). Maybe paint your favorite quote about peace up on a wall or even quote one of bob marley's songs. The possibilites are endless, just keep your mind open and make your room the way you like

Red seems a bit much. Its been proved certain colours can change your mood. And red does the obvious pumping you up thing. Not great for a bedroom.

How about two walls one colour, another wall another colour and then an interesting wallpaper on the other wall?

correct me if needed.

anyways,i'm not really into mixing but for that theme,you need green,yellow(sunny color) and red. not about mixing all colors together but...maybe a very dark color(like midnight blue fading into a lighter color) on the two walls,or even two walls can be yellow/red(what i prefer) with bob marley's face(which is drawn/painted in black paint). as you said,green and red/yellow stripes going towards the face. the other two walls should be a much different color like green,the color that relaxes eyes. you can put paintings here,photos(vintage-ish photography),the green walls must be simple. the other two walls,not so sure. white would go in the strange design only,by my thought. white goes great with red,not yellow much though. :/ ( http://www.caribbeanvilla.com/conten...w-bedroom2.jpg )

sorry for the links btw.
or do something more plain,green-red 3:3 walls,if you know what i mean. if you want to use two colors,maybe its good if they fade into eachother...

confidence;
i like the idea of the budget. and i do like the black and white thing alot. but im not sure how to mix it because i have a few colored bob marley posters. :/
sitting ;
i was thinking more of like a pale red, but i understand where you're coming from. i have too many oddly shaped walls to do the different colors though :/
stars ;
i LOVE those pictures of marley. .. i decided against the face thing because my niece stays with me alot and it would scare her, plus im sure id get tired of it. i like the black red and white room, id love for my room to be like that. because then i think i could do both marley and vintage.

NEW IDEA!

I'm thinking of just doing black, red, and white.
Since Bob Marley has red in it and that way I can put up my pictures and stuff

Set a budget, and go for it!

I wouldn't recommend red for a bedroom(Unless you're going to be having a lot of sex in there). Remember that you're going to be sleeping in there. Red is an energizing and invigorating colour. I know about the effects of the different colours but I found a website online that seems to be accurate as I don't feel like typing it all out.

If you REALLY want it red, then by all means, do what you want, but be sure to consider that it may negatively affect your sleep. If you only have a small part of it red(or a lot of it is covered by posters, artwork, etc.) it would probably be okay.
