Black and White Paisley Bedding Set

SEE MORE HERE!


I was reminded today that looks can be deceiving. When I saw this black and white paisley bedding set, "damask print" was my first impression. Then I picked up the package to read the details of the fiber content, etc. and WHAMMO; those little amoeba shaped patterns just POPPED out at me.


Actually, to be fair, there are areas of the fabric that have damask print designs but the border of the duvet cover is made up of mirrored pairs of paisleys. Throughout the black and white paisley bedding set you will the solid black color in one area and solid white color on the other end and all reverse to solid white. The solid color fabric of the throw pillows as well as the solid white portion of the fabric of the comforter cover is surrounded by the unique damask paisley print combination. The pillow shams and throw pillows are absolutely divine and I’m so happy that I picked this collection up for a closer look!

How do you think that it would look in a girl's bedroom where the walls are painted a silvery gray? I would appreciate it if you would leave your comments regarding this black and white paisley bedding set before you leave Tween and Teen Girls Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas so that I'll know whether the cheap bed in a bag set or this set would be more in tune with the tastes of my clients.

PURPLE PAISLEY or ZEBRA PRINT BEDDING

GO HERE TO SEE MORE!


I just got a bedroom decorating question that had me pondering whether purple paisley or zebra print bedding would be best. By best I mean would the paisley print be just as cool as zebra? I'm really torn here because nobody loves hot pink with zebra print any better than me. But when I decorate a teen girl's room with a set of black and purple bedding, I have to say that the results are pretty satisfying.

Plus, there is the problem of that pesky purple zebra bedding set being sold out right now that by all rights should remove it from the competition. That little issue really complicates matters because I'm sure that some of the girls that visit Tween and Teen Girls Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas will not want to make a decision on whether they want to buy the purple paisley or zebra print bedding until they are sure that the purple zebra comforter is never coming back.

BOHEMIAN BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS

One of the best bohemian bedroom decorating ideas that I have experimented with in quite some time came to me recently quite by chance. Sometimes to move forward, it pays to hop in the old time machine and take a trip to the past. For that reason, I am known to skim over the people in old pictures in order to look at their surroundings much to the chagrin of my mother who wants my interest in old family photos to be about wanting to learn more about our kin rather than picking up tips on how they decorated their homes.

On my last visit home, I was looking through some pictures that were taken in a hippie style restaurant, cafe or coffeehouse back in the early 70s or late 60s. Looking beyond the stringy haired flower children wearing round Beatle style glasses, I was actually trying to pick up some tips from the wall and ceiling decorations that were used.

The pictures of the room decorations and bohemian decor were fuzzy and the colors had faded or bled to the point that details were difficult to pinpoint. But the photos were clear enough for me to know that I wanted to document what decorations that the proprietor had used to achieve his or her version of the soft, dreamy atmosphere that is the foundation of all bohemian bedroom decorating ideas.

To do this, I had to pick apart as many areas of the room that I could see and from what I could tell recycling was alive and well in the heyday of hippie décor. Threadbare oriental rugs were cut apart and used to make huge, throw pillows and as upholstery fabric. One of the most unique bohemian bedroom decorating ideas that I took from this vintage photo was how they used a large oriental area rug to camouflage flaws in the ceilings and walls.


I’m not for sure how they attached the rug to the ceiling but I would imagine that a staple gun could do the trick. I would start by centering the rug on the ceiling and start stapling from one side to the other letting the center of the rug hang loosely. Then, I would put a staple into the center of each medallion in the center to give the decoration a puffed or stuffed appearance that would, under the right circumstances, make the rug seem to be floating.

Now you see why I consider this to be one of the most creative bohemian bedroom decorating ideas; by recycling damaged rugs you can achieve the ultimate in bohemian bedroom style for a very cheap price.

PINK and GREEN POLKA DOTS, STRIPES and PAISLEY BEDDING

A specific request for a bedding set with pink and green polka dots is demanding enough, but throw in the recommendation that stripes and paisley patterns be included in the design and frankly that's enough to make a decorator's head spin.
The color scheme is a personal favorite of mine so I'm cool with that. But when you you start mixing and matching more than two fabric prints; you are stepping off into uncharted territory that requires the eye of a seasoned professional.

Decorating a teenage girl's bedroom using a hodgepodge of stylish patterns like the one that we were contemplating using green and pink polka dots and stripes plus a coordinating paisley print can be cute and fun to put together. The only drawback that it might take more time to find the best fabrics for the job than most tweens or preteen girls would appreciate.

Decorators will tell you that color schemes for the bedroom are pretty easy to perfect and in most cases this is an accurate statement. However, it takes even an expert a lot of time to mix and match fabrics colors, prints and patterns without creating a decorating nightmare. And then once the fabrics are on the design board, the decision on the best window treatments and decorations must be made.

The thing is that a custom pink and green polka dot bedding set is going to cost more than an inexpensive bed in a bag. And the hours that the interior decorator is on the job racking up time comparing yards and yards of pink and green striped and paisley fabrics to find one with a personality to suit the bedroom and that will be a perfect match with the funky pink and green polka dots that will be center stage so far as the bedroom's decor is concerned translates into additional cost.

If you are on a limited budget, perhaps the best plan of action will be to find a discount bed in a bag set that your daughter loves and personalize it a bit to make it your own creation. Consider custom bedding only when your bank account is flush with cash or there is absolutely no other way make your daughter happy.

Mixing and matching bedding fabrics has a way of making any duvet cover or comforter so much more exciting! First of all, it’s a real challenge to choose just the right balance of color, texture and design for a teen girls decor. A paisley pattern with all those funky, bold shapes and colors is no different.

Here are some ideas on how to decorate your teen or preteen girl's room with funky paisley motifs and designs using fabrics printed with different patterns and prints rather than solid colors.


You know from the beginning of this bedroom makeover that you will have to bring in a print with small designs that will provide a background for the dominant paisley fabrics.

Take inventory of the color scheme of the large paisley pattern. Paisley patterns are an eclectic hodgepodge of color, but which one jumps out at you? Whatever the answer to that question may be, that color will be used as accent colors in decorating the bedroom.

Now, what color seems to be the anchor or background in the paisley design? That’s the color you will use in your coordinating prints. An example would be that if your paisley bedding pattern has hot pink flowers with brown stems on a field of beige choose a fabric with a neutral brown print. Some examples of acceptable patterns would be gingham checks, polka dots, houndstooth or wild animal prints like the cheetah print in the pictures.
Consider how fabulous the hot pink paisleys will look beside the chocolate brown prints!

A theme in shopping in any of the online stores or websites that specialize in contemporary teen bedding and accessories you know that they equate funky prints with an expensive price tag. There's lots of places that you can buy cheap comforters and duvet covers but will your teen think that it looks cool, funky and stylish enough for her to show off to her friends? One decorating trend for older girl's bedrooms has been to use very bright and colorful print fabrics for the bedding and then to calm it down with statues of Buddha and other vintage bronzes.


Here are some tips and ideas on how to make your teenage girl's bedroom as trendy as she wants with a price tag that much less expensive than you might expect.

1. Sit down with your teenage girl and get her to show you what she likes either in a catalog or in one of the online stores. Turn down the pages with the pictures or bookmark the pages with the pictures of completely decorated bedrooms that tickle her fancy.

2. Discuss fabrics. Does she like sleek and shiny silk and satin fabrics or does she prefer rustic and nubby textures? Will you need something that's easily washable or is your teen ticky and capable of dealing with a high maintenance duvet cover that's made from fabric that might be ruined if her friends smear onion dip on it?

3. Take note of basic color schemes that she seems to favor. Could it be that one will work with the current wall color? If you don't have to pick out new wall paint colors, that's a bargain!


Now, check out the discount bedding sites or shop the closeout sales for discontinued bedding collections. Don't waste time searching for bedding sets for teens, they are few and far between. A more beneficial use of your time would be to see what's available at discounted prices and see what could be done to make them appealing to older girls. Take note of decorating ideas that you could use with each set and how expensive it will be to put them to work in the room that you are decorating.

For example look at pictures of the average set of paisley bedding. Most have lots of browns, shades of camel tan and burgundy or blue.


At first glance it would only appeal to an older person, right? Ok, now imagine that set of bedding with bright orange, red and cobalt blue silk, satin or even leather throw pillows. An Indian throw with sequins that's been embroidered in wild colors thrown over the foot of the bed would liven things up as well as a dust ruffle in a coordinating, but eclectic print and you'd need to replace that stodgy canopy and header with something right out of the latest Bratz movie or off the set of DeGrassi, too. Fringe is cool, so check out some bolts of purple or turquoise to see if they would work while you're in the notions section of the discount store.

Decorative accessories can be a large bronze colored Buddha, Indian elephant end tables and brass lamps!

A sculpture of Buddha brings a sense of peace and calm and is the perfect decorative balance to your psychedelic bedding design as well as coordinating with the boring brown print that you started with.
