LAVENDER ZEBRA BEDDING

The purple zebra print sets are no longer to be found so will lavender zebra bedding work? From the number of comments that I've been getting from teen girls looking for the set of black and purple zebra bedding set that I posted awhile back (Zebra Bedding with a Twist) it would seem that lots of my visitors waited too long and may have lost out.

I actually located a few sets that drifted through auctions early last month but they are now long gone. Yeah, that's pretty bad news if you had your heart set on it but the good news is that there is a set of deep lavender zebra bedding that is very similar and most importantly available at the time of this post.

Don't blame Tween and Teenage Girl Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas if you mess around and let this one get away from you!

PURPLE and BLACK ZEBRA COMFORTER

When I saw these pillows I thought "What a great way to dress up a purple and black zebra comforter"! Or for that matter, I can imagine a teen girl giving the black and white damask comforter set (that her mom really loved a whole lot more than she ever did) a cool look.

Mixing and matching patterns and colors are what take a bed in a bag set and transform it into something delightful and unique. However, one bad choice in an accent pillow is all it takes to completely tank your decor no matter how stunning the rest of your bedroom decorating ideas may be.

My advice would be to make good use of sets like these pillows where the work has already been done for you! And my hat's off to whomever thought of using black and white damask print with a purple and black zebra comforter set.

Girls Purple and Green Bedding

In my opinion girls purple and green bedding is perfect! However, there is nothing at all inappropriate about mixing it up with other colors so long as they are edgy and do nothing to diminish the decorative impact of the initial color scheme, right? Certainly orange, electric blue and black are all very modern colors that should appeal to a teenage girl, right? Well, keep reading and you will see there are times when my assumptions get me in trouble!

That is certainly the idea that I was operating under when I included a bright and bold set of bedding with all of the wild colors that I mentioned on my design board to present to a young girl (tween or early teenage years) who had casually mentioned the possibility of a purple and lime green color scheme for her bedroom.

To make a long story short, I either did not understand how strongly she wanted a set of girls purple and green bedding that did not include any other color whatsoever or she had been shopping around looking at pictures of purple and lime green bedrooms and made the decision that she had a distinct dislike for all the complementary colors that might normally be used as accent colors.

Always one to believe that the customer is always right, I backtracked my way out of the multi-colored bedding and decor and am back on track with a much simpler bedroom decorating project that I was proposing. And why should I care as the money’s the same either way and the decorated room will be very cute when I’m done. Perhaps I just wanted to make things more interesting for my own sake and in this case, I was wrong to do so.

PURPLE POLKA DOT BEDDING

GO HERE TO SEE MORE!


When is purple polka dot bedding green? Well, the word is that reactive dyes that were used to give this bold, beautiful comforter set its deep, rich design are reputed to be very healthy, in fact more so than the all-purpose dyes that are more commonly used. This type of dye is not only reported to be healthier, but softer and longer lasting. Which as we know is a good thing for bedding destined to become part of the décor in a teenage girl’s room where spilled drinks, makeup and even occasional circles of nail polish can send the bedding set to the laundry on a regular basis.

I just recommended the set of purple polka dot bedding in the pictures to a client for her daughter’s dorm room so I have not had a chance to inspect it to see if the look and feel backs up the claims made by the manufacturer. But if the initial reaction of not only the mother in the household that I am working on but her two girls is any indication, I will more than likely have not one but two sets of this cute purple bedding set in hand before the week is out. The sparkle in the eyes of those girls tell me if they are to have any input on decorating their bedrooms, then decorating a girls’ polka dot bedroom with purple polka dot bedding is in their future or more importantly, mine.

PURPLE PEACE SIGN COMFORTER SET

GO HERE FOR MORE!



I promised you an update on which peace sign comforter set was picked for the bedroom that I was decorating with peace signs. For those of you just tuning in, I mentioned in a post last week that I was on the fence over whether to buy a more expensive bedding set and be conservative with the bedroom’s decorations or to go with a cheap set and go all out on collectible peace signs and decor.

As soon as the teenage girl (and her mother) made a decision I resolved to type out my report. Well, the votes have been counted and after some rough moments behind the scenes (drum roll please), the peace sign bedding set that my clients agreed on was an inexpensive purple bed in a bag set that cost less than $100! Actually because she only needed a twin size set, it cost less than $50! Plus, the collection offered purple lamp shades, pillows and curtains with groovy peace signs on them if she had wanted them although she did not want them as she preferred to do her own thing.

Was this particular purple peace sign bedding set picked because the tween was wise beyond her years and wanted to do her part for the household budget? That would be an ending fit for a fairytale but sadly it would be just as fictitious. She made her decision based on the fact that she wanted a purple bedding set and it just so happened that one of the inexpensive peace sign comforter sets was, you guessed it, purple with black peace signs. Whereas, the expensive organic set was a very practical brown that she found boring in spite of the trendy organic fabric.

So I am now off to shop for vintage decor to complement the purple peace sign comforter set which is going to be no small job. However, there is plenty of cash left over for me to work with. Return to Tween and Teenage Girls Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas and I’ll share what I bought to go with her purple peace sign bedding set.

PURPLE ZEBRA PRINT BEDDING WITH A TWIST

GO HERE for MORE!



A short while ago I shared some decorating ideas for using purple zebra print bedding to give the modern teenage girl's bedroom a retro look with deco possibilities. The bedding set that was used in that example consisted of a comforter, shams and curtains with zebra stripes in black and purple with a coordinating leopard or cheetah print on the sheets bedskirt and pillow cases.

At the time that I wrote that article, I was tickled pink with the pictures of this bedroom design. The pics proved my theory that there were many more applications for animal prints than a safari theme bedroom filled with woven wood and tropical decorations in shades of green. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I was THRILLED.

If that unique find tickled my fancy and titillated this decorator's imagination, you can just imagine what an even more sophisticated set would do for my day! I adore the concept of purple zebra print bedding where the fabric with stripes is alternated with neon purple and solid black as dark as the most mysterious ebony.
And wonder of wonders; there may even be some fabrics in shades of lavender for a designer to work with.

Stay tuned to Tween and Teenage Girls Purple Zebra Print Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas as I believe that this purple zebra comforter has much more to offer in the way of rugs, decor and window treatments. What fun we will having experimenting with mixing and matching the various prints and patterns of the fabrics and purple zebra bedroom decorations.

DECORATING IDEAS FOR PURPLE ZEBRA BEDDING with a RETRO FEEL

Is purple zebra bedding a good choice for a teenage girl’s bedroom? How do you decorate around a zebra comforter with all that wild print and color in a way that won’t make your head spin?



These are all questions that I’m asked by moms when their daughters go crazy over a purple and black zebra print bedding set. Mothers want their tweens and teens to take part and have a say in the decisions made in decorating their rooms. But, they are not experienced enough to know how to accessorize and coordinate patterns that will allow the girls to design an attractive room based on the bedspread they choose.

The biggest decorating mistake that could be made is to buy up lots of zebra print decorations thinking that’s what is needed to go with the purple zebra bedding set. That many stripes in one small bedroom are enough to make you dizzy.

The comforter, dust ruffle and pillows in the purple zebra bedding require a solid color wall and accessories so that the decor doesn’t conflict with the striped print. For a sophisticated look, ebony wood, black lacquer and ceramics are an excellent choice.

Younger teenage girls might prefer funky over chic. If that’s the case, vinyl wall flowers in a 60s retro style might work. Refer to the pictures for decorating ideas. Purple flowers with bold, black polka dot centers stay in keeping with your color scheme but the shapes are sufficiently removed from the striped pattern in the purple zebra bedding set to provide contrast rather than confusion.
