Dear Meghan,
I would look for outdoor furniture (wrot iron if you like) Find a small table and use it as a night stand. If you have room throw in a chair or two. You could also plaint flowers in an antique looking (or metal) flowering can. These tips will make your room look garden-like without the little kid feel.
Hope I helped,
-Liza

Having “junk” is what comes from growing up. When you were little all those plastic animals, stuffed animals, toys, and games were necessary. Now that you are moving into a new fresh part of your life, you want a new room and a new outlook.
Step 1: Sort through your childhood things and get rid of those that won’t last or do not hold memories. If you can’t bear to see them go, pack them away (with your parents help) in airtight plastic containers (and throw in a fabric softener to keep bugs away). If you kind of like the toy but don’t have anywhere to keep it, take a picture of yourself with it and save the pic. Then you have the memory but not the clutter.
When you finally feel like you have a manageable amount of stuff, you can redecorate.
To start, remove any old things from the room that you won’t be keeping such as curtains, bedspread, and rug. Don’t make everything one color or one pattern. You say you love purple, but don’t make everything purple otherwise you’ll eventually feel like you’re living in a popsicle. Make your bedspread purple and add pillowcases and a dust ruffle that are other colors like blue, green, or yellow. Make sure your main colors are not too strong and flashy otherwise you will never feel restful in your room. You don’t have to paint the walls to make it a new space. Curtains can go a long way. So can small throw rugs. Find a few you think are fun and put them in key places such as in front of your dresser, bedside table, or closet. Hang pictures that go together in style. Keep clutter to a minimum by having a cork/erase board for pics, notes, and fun stuff. If your room is small, put in a few mirrors. You’ll want them when you’re getting ready to go out and they’ll help add to the size and brightness of the room. For a finishing touch, add a few wall cutouts strategically placed around the room with the green gummy stuff that leaves no holes etc.
I’ve rambled on but it’s possible to have a great room with little touches. Good luck!

Hi
I’m 13 and I really want to redo my room, I can’t get my walls painted though. I’ve been getting purple stuff for my room, purple comforter, sheets, curtains, etc. My parents are not paying for anything and they are pretty strict. I have no idea what to do for my room. I have so much junk!
