Red and Pink Bedding

GO HERE TO SEE MORE!


I thought I had just found the perfect set of red and pink bedding for a teenage girl's bedroom that I'm decorating. Take a good look at the pictures...do you see a red and pink comforter set? Well, at first glance I surely did only to take a second look and realize that the actual comforter and shams are white, pink and green. There may be a tiny touch of red in the center of the flowers that you can't see very well, but it may be hot pink.

The point is that the red upholstered headboard of the bed, the red dust ruffle and that funky looking wooly mirror that's hung over the head of the bed fooled me into thinking that I had found THE pink and red bedding set that would solve all my problems.

I wonder if I can convince the young lady to accept this red and pink bedding set and more importantly, convince her mom to pay for a padded red headboard.
The girl's taste in bedroom colors ranges in the warm (ya think?) side of the color wheel thus the request for a hot pink and red room design. In my opinion, the field of white with cool green stems on the flowers are what will make the girls bedding set work.

FUNKY PINK BEDDING

A mom I'm working with says she wants her teen girl's bedding to be pink while FUNKY PINK BEDDING is more in line with what's on her daughter's radar. I have a knack for getting in the middle of the battle of wills between teenage girls and their mothers, don't I?

The problem is that moms want to hang onto their baby girls as long as possible which means they want to keep the pastel pink bedroom in tact long after the toddler stage. When tweens and preteen girls are ready to jazz things up a bit the bedroom makeover can get ugly.

My job is to reach a compromise if at all possible and my advice to parents is to let the girls have their funky pink bedding! There are so many bigger (and more important) issues that so long as the lime green and funky pink bedding is tasteful why sweat the small stuff?

How do you like these lime green and pink curtains with the lime green and hot pink bedding in the pictures? I tried all pink as well as all lime green window treatments but I believe the combination of the two colors actually works better with the teen girls bedding. What do you think?

PINK HORSE BEDDING

This pink horse bedding will make your teenage girl want to RIDE SALLY RIDE just like the girl in Mustang Sally! I can't count the times that I've struggled with decorating a teenage cowgirl's equestrian theme bedroom simply because she loved horses but didn't want a brown color scheme in her room.

You might think that would be a quick and easy fix but it's not. You see, before I found this set all the pink horse bedding collections were obviously for very young girls of toddler age up to tween age, if that old.

I am absolutely delighted to share this unique horse comforter set that offers some interesting color options to teen girls and am in the process of searching for wall decorations that will complement it. So, return to Tween and Teen Girl Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas to see what I find to match the girl's horse theme bedding set!

SKULL BEDDING for GIRLS

When it comes to skull bedding for girls I want to say that there is more to this style of decor than Halloween bedding with your standard fabric covered in witches and black cats.

The colorful skull and crossbones bedding sets that are available as we speak proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that when handled properly skeletons can be fun. In fact they have become so tame that moms are jumping on gothic pink skull baby bedding sets for their daughter's nurseries!

Let me see, how WOULD one go about making one’s earthly remains cheerful and cute? It struck me that the best way to proceed might be to take our cues from tattoos. Rarely do you see a tattoo design consisting of a single grinning skull. More often they are surrounded by the wings of an angel, roses or flowers that are in contrast to the bare bones of the design, if you will. This is a trend that seems popular with young girls, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

Recently a tween client started out requesting dark, gothic bedroom decor. At her mom’s request I managed to reach a compromise by suggesting bedroom decorating ideas based on a set of pink skull bedding for girls. To back up my ideas and to make them more appealing to a teen girl focused on skulls, crossbones, hard rock bands and guitars, I printed some examples of the colorful tattoo designs that I mentioned earlier.

The pictures helped to convince my client that skull bedding for girls did not have to be black and white. In fact the skull comforter set that we eventually settled on was a sight to behold in hot pink and turquoise bedding whose fabric had all the elements that she desired.

There were skulls, rock guitars, pink roses, doves, nautical stars, horseshoes and swirling banners printed with “LOVE”. And color, oh, what a display color did this set of skull bedding show. There was hot pink and lime green layered over the turquoise blue with touches of gold and brown shadows.

To put a finishing touch on the bedroom’s decorations we added a matching turquoise blue bed skirt, a hot pink flokati area rug and popped a hot pink lampshade on a lamp and called it a day.

BROWN and PINK TOILE BEDDING

I wanted to start this article with the statement that brown and pink toile bedding sets of today are a far cry from the comforters and curtains that were once the staple of old homes and to say that they have been jazzed up which would be an understatement and that’s a fact. But then I made an interesting observation about decorating bedrooms with toile that took all the fun out of what would have been my opening line.

After looking through my stash of vintage home decorating magazines, I can’t help but notice one big difference in the way toile prints were used to decorate bedrooms is that apart from the rare bit of fabric seen pieced in a square of a patchwork quilt, toile bedspreads were not commonly used. At least I didn’t see any in the decorating books that I had on hand and after I gave it some thought I couldn’t recall any brown and pink toile bedding sets in either of my grandparent’s bedrooms or toile bedding of any kind for that matter. There were plenty of toile curtains and more than a few pieces of furniture with toile upholstery, my favorite being a pretty upholstered slipper chair in the bedroom, but no brown and pink toile bedding or comforters.

If memory serves me, the bedding that my great-grandmother preferred was chenille. And that stuff must have worn like iron because after she was gone, my mom used them for years. She washed them regularly and hung them on the clothesline where the sunlight could bleach them in the old fashioned, natural way. And it worked as they stayed snowy white until they became threadbare and she cut them up to use in her crafts projects.

Apparently my mom was pretty savvy as I see plenty of bedding collections that combine strips of chenille with other fabrics to give an otherwise uninteresting and flat comforter set added texture. In fact, a set of brown and pink toile bedding that caught my eye not only had borders of chenille, but strips of pink and brown polka dots and corners decorated with grosgrain ribbon both with polka dots and without. And what about those sassy pink and brown baby bedding sets for girls? If granny was here today, she might raise an eyebrow but somehow I think she’d approve of how we are decorating with toile today.

PINK AND GRAY BEDDING

Pink and black bedding has been all the rage for a while but don’t count pink and gray bedding out. In fact the addition of charcoal gray alongside basic black adds a whole new dimension or layer, if you will, to the black and pink.

For babies, pastels may be in order. But when shopping for keep your eyes on bright for something that is slightly bolder in a pink and gray comforter set for teenage girls’ bedrooms. This may be the perfect opportunity for putting those decorating ideas for salmon pink to good use that you have been hoarding inside your dream design folder for far too long.

FLORAL PATTERNS and PRINTS

Your daughter may have resisted floral prints in the past, but don’t let that stop you from suggesting flowers in pink and gray that are as far from anything that you ever saw in Granny’s garden.

STRIPES

I can imagine a background of hot pink with an uneven striped pattern in alternating dark black and gray. Or you might reverse that scenario and see how beautifully hot pink and dove gray pops on a fabric with a deep black background.

POLKA DOTS

The hot pink and white polka dots on charcoal gray include all the best elements of black and pink bedding only lighter.

THE PINK AND GRAY BEDROOM PICTURE

This pink, French poodle bedding set combines several decorative elements that are very popular with teenage girls, namely polka dots and Parisian bedroom ideas. The decorator started with a set of vintage, twin beds with carved pineapple finials and an antique reproduction black mini-chandelier that gave the bedroom just the slightest hint of shabby chic decor. The wall color is cotton candy perfection with the laser cut black and white polka dot wallpaper border and hot pink and black and white polka dot scalloped window valance. The teenage girls pink and gray bedding set is not an exact color match to the bedroom's wall decorations. But the comforters stay closely enough in the same color family that it all ties together very nicely.

FUNKY BED SHEETS

It's summer and time for bikinis, flip flops and cottages with a view of the ocean. Oh yeah, and it’s time to buy some cool, funky bed sheets for the kids. The reason for this is because chances are that it is very doubtful that your teenage girl will take the time to make her bed unless you make things easy for her. She will not want to be fiddling around with the comforter and accessories that came with the cute bed in a bag set that she just had to have this spring when there are surfboards to ride, ultraviolet rays to catch and cute beach bums to flirt with!

When I was a teen (I’m sure that you will be polite and not inquire as to how long ago that may have been) I knew that my mother would not let me out the door until my room was straight. If I wanted to avoid a lecture on how much money she had spent on my bedding set and decorating the bedroom, the best course of action was to go ahead and tidy up before I opened the door. I needed some tricks to get the job done as quickly as possible so as not to keep my friends waiting in the driveway and then a visiting girlfriend share the tip that she saved her best bed sheets until summer so that her bed looked nice without having to go to the trouble to layer comforters and coverlets.

I thought this was an excellent idea because it’s too hot to sleep under all that cover in my part of the country from April until September. So, after Easter I packed the quilt and most of the pillows in a space bag and pulled out some funky bed sheets (in my case hot pink polka dot bed sheets) that matched my bedroom's color scheme. So long as there were tight, hospital corners and no wrinkles my mom was happy and my friends were happy that they didn’t have to wait for me in a hot car for an hour.

Pink and green color schemes don't end with summer. Funky paisley print fabrics in these colors can keep the attitude of springtime alive year round when done with the right attitude. And the mood I'm in at the moment is bohemian. That's right, I'm not ready to relinquish my rope sandals and broomstick skirt even though the fall breezes are blowing my skirt and making my toes slightly more chilly than I can appreciate.

We can't turn the tide of the changing seasons, but we can use some clever decorating ideas and tricks to create our own little boho world where we get to call the shots.



Funky, fun wall decals, paisley of course do a lot to spread the look from the inexpensive pink and green bed in a bag that we scored at the discount store. If you can't find colors that match your comforter, you can do some paisley stencils to give your walls their own unique brand of flower power.

For that matter, if your bedroom floor is less than modern and needs a makeover, scuff it, prime it and paint it in a solid color and stencil your designs in pink and green to match the rest of your teenage dream girl bedroom.

Pink and green bedding and bed in a bag sets tend to drop in price at the end of summer. Only the most hip and savvy teen girls know it's cool to decorate against the trends and pick up the best comforters at deeply discounted prices early in September. Who says that tweens and teens don't know the score? When it comes to funky bedding they know what's up and when it comes down to it, little else matters.

ROXY BEDDING SETS for GIRLS-BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!


I was recently contracted to design a bedroom around a collection of Roxy bedding. for girls using a tropical floral design. The tropical print duvet cover fabric had a unique color scheme of red and brown with touches of oatmeal and tan which was not a combination that you might have pictured for a comforter in a Roxy comforter set called Coconut.

Normally I see bright pink, blue and yellow in varying shades when teen girls want to take their decor in an Hawaiian style of decorating. This unusual hibiscus flower print bedding collection was different in that I could picture lots of stained wooden accessories rather than the flower arrangements and glassware or ceramics that came to my mind when the teenage girl called me on my cell phone to tell me that she wanted a completely "Roxy Bedroom" and that she had already picked out a set of Roxy Bedding for girls. Coconut being the operative word here, because brown was the key to decorating this room successfully.

The decorating ideas that were put into practice for this bedding set were tropical but grounded in woven rattan and dark stained woods. The headboard for the bed was woven rattan which blended beautifully with the wide slats of the dark wood plantation shutter window treatments. Accent pillows in a textured fabric that was an oatmeal color with flecks of brown decorated the top of the comforter and a chocolate or mocha tailored bed skirt balance the break between the bold print fabrics and the hardwood floor.

The surprising thing was that once the room was completely decorated I saw that the bedroom could have just as easily worked for a boy as a girl it was so lacking in girly colors. The tropical print on the Roxy bedding for girls was all that saved the room from being overly masculine in design.

Most teens or tween girls might find this Roxy bedroom a little mature, but this teenage girl was very involved in the selection of decorative accessories and she loved the outcome. I found the room very sophisticated but it still managed to give off a casual feel. I couldn’t help but wonder how we could use the same set of Roxy bedding with lighter, brighter colors and some fun accessories like monkeys for a truly tropical bedroom. Maybe next time.

PINK AND BLACK BEDDING for TEENS

GO HERE for MORE!



So far as pink and black bedding for teenage girls that would be be perfect for teens and tweens, you have several fabric prints to choose from. Not many, but a few.

That's why you have to love the ingenuity that the manufacturer displayed when they rolled out not only a
pink and black comforter sets in zebra fabrics, but a patchwork quilt that incorporates hot pink faux fur blocks with black and white zebra.

The possibilities for such an eclectic design are rather interesting to say the least. The play of graphics one against the other brings me around to a retro, kind of Andy Warhol (if teens care to take a look at his art they will see what I mean) state of mind.

I'm not sure how I feel about mixing the less dramatic, watered down shades of pink as seen in the area rug in the example picture, but I have to give the funky, pink and black patchwork bedding set a positive review. This just goes to show that patchwork quilts are not necessarily country by nature.
