dd is 10 and has a small attic bedroom, north-facing. She is under the slope so there is little height or wall space. She currently has a mid-sleeper with room underneath for storage or a slouching area (beanbags). The room is painted white with a beige carpet. I've deliberately kept it neutral so I can easily change the colour scheme through cheap accessories. Currently the bedding, bedside table etc are blue/green.
dd really wants an overhaul and the room could do with it, but I'm a bit stumped on what to do. She isn't a girly girl and won't want pink/purple but is not expressing a view on what she does want. I don't have much of a budget. Any advice on colours etc would be appreciated, but I'd particularly like to ask:
- ideas on how to store clothes when there is nowhere to put a wardrobe (we're currently just folding them into white crates on shelves)?
- ideas on seating for dd and friends - small sofa, or are bean bags better?
- views on whether I should keep the room white/pale neutral, or is there something to be said for accepting it will never be a light spacious room, and decorating dark with white accents?
