I’m thinking of doing my room in a ‘vintage fairytale’ theme…But I’m strapped for decor ideas. Help?
By admin on Nov. 27, 2009.
I have a lot of antiques, such as hand fans, old dolls, wooden horses, carousel boxes, and lots of old fairytale books. Since I love fairytales and old things, I decided to do my room once we move (we’re moving to another state) in a vintage fairytale style. I love dark wood furniture, and I already have that in my current room. But I’m wondering if anyone has ideas for redoing the room in our new house?
I really like the whole ‘Country French’ theme, and Victorian fashion.
I’m fourteen, but I know what I like. I don’t want my room to be so specific that I can’t grow with it though.
You should paint your room the color of the sunset so either yellow, light orange, beige or tan *if you want a cozy cottage feeling*, (only if you’re going to do that) then find a lamp or light that gives off a dim orange glow. With your dark furniture, old books, antiques, and a few candles lit, at night it would feel just like a fairytale cottage. But that’s only if you want that kind of mood. Also get curtains that drape downward easily, they should match and be darker than your walls of course, and look nice at night.
Actually it’s really easy to change the style of a room. The only problem is deciding what color the room should always be to fit whatever style you want, if you want to change your room frequently or through years just move the furniture around or make little adjustments. Like bringing in some flowers, making it more open, etc
