*Long* Ideas for decorating 7yr old's new bedroom.

What about different shades of purple? And a similar mocha shade to the carpet? At least that way it would all tie in together.

Why not go to bunnings or wherever with all the little paint cards and just see what does (and doesn't!) go together that you are all happy with?

Why don't you pick a theme, see what other decorator items you might be able to find. At the same age my DD was dead-set on having a planetary theme, big decals of the planets, stars, etc. Some of them are large and bright. Perhaps you could start with something similar (a pack of large wall decals, or a feature fabric that has the colours in that he's wanting) and then add chunks of THOSE colours in onto the bed, kwim?

BTW - bright colours like lime green, chunky orange and dark retro 70s purple (in small amounts LOL) could go really well together, along with a magenta colour. Our schools in the ACT were recently all painted with a combination of these colours (in small amounts) and it looked great. Perhaps the trick is finding a fill colour (like dark grey) to bring them all together??

I think purple goes well with red, yellow or green. Reckon he'd go for any of those?
Purple and gold is cool though!

My Little mans room is purple and blue, he had green furniture with red knobs.
It is a great combination, i wasnt sure at first but when it all came together it was great.

Oh and by the way my Hubbys best mate still loves pink and purple. At his wedding we wore purple dresses and the guys purple ties.
