- figure out what idea you want to radiate through your room. for me, it's calming birds, or trees, or blue/gray. it's soft. for my brother, it's sporadic, random, anti-matching, anything-but-the-same designs. he doesn't want anything to be the same color, either. red lights? no red sheets. find what you want to express, whether it's with your personality in mind, or a feeling you want to get when you enter your room.
- get your parents to agree, if your at home, or get ready to pay for a lot of stuff. if you're like me, you'll be rational about what you get in your room. for example, don't choose dark paint if your parents are planning on a) selling the house soon, b) renting out your room when you move out, or c) telling you no to dark paint. be reasonable about your requests. OR if you are planning on paying for all of your choices, make sure not to spend more $$ than you have.
- collect "art." it doesn't have to be a traditional painting; it could be wall decals or stuff you find on the side of the road but think is actually really cool.
- pick out your bedding. this is what took me so long. i had to find a comforter that was soft enough to sleep with but matched my theme enough to be okay. it also had to be cheap since i was the one paying for this. you'll also need pillows. make sure your pillow fits your sleeping style; some are better suited for back sleepers, while others are softer for belly sleepers. (PSA THIS IS BAD FOR YOUR BACK. IT WILL MAKE IT TOO ARCHED.) then there are also the decorative pillows. it helps if they differ in design and size.
- have enough storage space. make sure you have places for all of your clothes (like in a chest or drawer or closet) and for your technology (dvd player or computer). you want to be able to see your floor.
- DECORATE. put everything in its proper place and then fall on your bed. just do it.
