Pink is the favorite color for many young girls, but this bedroom décor is sophisticated enough for even the most discriminating teen!

• The color palette in this room may start with a sweet pink, but a lively orange picked up from cute polka-dot sheets adds real pizzazz.
• A bright horizontal stripe painted around the room offers big impact for a small investment. Paint the walls your desired color, let dry, and then tape off a wide stripe around the room. Use a level and chalk line tool for perfectly straight lines.
• The one-of-a-kind headboard is actually two pieces of plywood hinged together like a floor screen, so it can be easily moved and stored. Attached to the front side of the board is 2-inch-thick foam and batting. A custom monogrammed slipcover with pink piping adds signature style. (The slipcover can easily be changed for a new color scheme or style.) When determining the position of the monogram, consider the height of the pillows. If the embroidery is too low, large pillows will cover it.
• The classy window treatments have a secret: They’re made from inexpensive drapery lining. The grosgrain ribbon edging and oversize grommets for hanging create a tailored look without breaking the bank.
• Colorful shames include a pair of complementary stripes, plus two with a repeat of the monograms and pink grosgrain edging, and a small companion pillow—all for fun and comfort.
• Inexpensive lamps from a discount home store get real style with shades trimmed in rickrack and ribbon.
