PURPLE and BLACK ZEBRA COMFORTER

GO HERE TO SEE MORE!


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.

Black and White Paisley Bedding Set

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.

There’s so much that black and white bedrooms can offer far beyond a painted white room with black curtains or vice versa. They are an excellent opportunity to forego the worries of coordinating accent colors and play with graphic designs that add a mix of patterns and scale that in many cases trump the effects of even the most wild of color displays. But as with so many decorating styles, there are a few tricks to using such a seemingly simple design successfully.

TEXTURE

Some decorators (not me!) shy away from black and white bedrooms citing that the design is too stark and modern for most tastes. Even black and white damask bedding sets with a very active fabric pattern tend to make some otherwise bold individuals unsure of themselves. I agree that this color combination can be cold so the key is not to let it intimidate you but to warm it up.

To do so without losing the dramatic effect of the monochromatic color scheme can be difficult without tripping up and allowing an unexpected accent color to throw the entire scheme of things and challenge your black and white bedding set for decorative dominance. Here are some suggestions on how to layer your black and white room with delicate, sensual textures without leaving the neutral color palette:

A black tree branch with white silk blossoms artfully arranged in a ceramic vase.

A black or white faux bearskin rug

Accent pillows made of fabrics that offer a broad array of textures

Lamps of varied heights and shapes with interesting shades

Here’s an idea of how to make your own black and white teen bedroom decorations. Dig through your attic, granny’s trunk or the garage and pick out some stuff that you can prime and spray paint either black or white. Take the decor up a notch by mixing it up with enamel, shiny black lacquer or flat black finishes and step back to admire your work.

The pattern that is enjoying a resurgence of popularity for all intent and purposes may not have changed but let me warn you not to bolt out and shop for yards of vintage damask print fabric thinking that you can pick it up for an inexpensive price, sew a duvet cover, a bed skirt and some window treatments to surprise your teenage daughter.

We have recently picked up some chic, French teen bedroom ideas that any mother will love for several reasons. The first reason that these tips are so attractive and appealing is that they are so cute.

FRENCH BEDROOM DOOR SIGN

GIGI FRENCH POODLE LAMP SHADE

The second reason is that they are in the preferred Paris bedroom color palette of pink and black with a smattering of aged white thrown in for good measure. The third and perhaps the best reason of all is that our suggested items in bedroom decor perfect for a French theme are CHEAP!

It's a sad fact of life that many moms learn only after buying expensive French bedroom furniture for teens that their teenage girls haven't quite gotten around to appreciating the finer things in life and can't understand why French Provincial decor and nail polish remover don't mix. This is why our French teen bedroom ideas focus either on inexpensive pieces that won't break a mother's heart or decorating with shabby chic furniture and decor that are already distressed to the point that a little more abuse won't make a bit of difference.

We have discovered that the teens and tweens in our decorating experience showed a distinct preference for French bistro decor. Imagine a room decorated in pink French poodles, images of the Eiffel Tower and furniture that might have come from a sidewalk cafe or ice cream shop and you will get an idea of how to decorate a French bistro theme bedroom.

French teen bedroom ideas for this style won't require that you throw out the shabby chic Parisian apartment furnishings and decor. Instead, just dress it up with funky lampshades, drawer pulls and vintage pictures of French poodles and Eiffel Tower posters. If your teenage girl accidentally finds out how little you paid for her French bedroom decor and feels cheated because her bedroom makeover was so cheap, C'est la vie!

Don't leave Tween and Teenage Girls Bedding Sets, French Teen Bedroom Ideas and Decor without taking a look at our many recommendations for decorating in a pink French Poodle theme.

CHANDELIER BEDDING - COMFORTER SETS THAT WILL LIGHT UP YOUR BEDROOM

GO HERE FOR MORE




Your teenage girls may laugh if I made the recommendation that a set of chandelier bedding would be helpful in designing an elegant yet fun atmosphere for her bedroom. The phrasing does seem to suggest a resting spot for a light fixture rather than what it actually is. What it actually is would be a comforter with a unique print that brings to mind the image of a chandelier.

To refer to it as a chandelier comforter may be a stretch. To be more accurate the fabric’s print has a French toile or damask look and feel to it only with larger patterns than you normally find in most black and white damask bedding fabrics.

Decorative applications for chandelier bedding might vary from using it as a centerpiece in a bedroom that is the ultimate in luxury to surrounding it with chipped furniture and crockery you found in a thrift store for a shabby chic, Parisian apartment style of decor. Frankly, it shines without fail in either of the above mentioned surroundings. If you are fortunate enough to find a black and white chandelier bedding set with pillow shams and a bed skirt that has been decorated with hot pink French pom pom trim how could a teenage girl resist the urge to say, Oooh La La?
