I have white walls in my room and i can't paint, how do i make them look better?

i am almost 13 and i really want help cuz my room is really plain!!!I have white walls in my room and i can't paint, how do i make them look better?
I solved this once by going out to a discount clothing store which had used clothes and bedding and such.





I picked up a bunch of bed sheets with nice designs on them. They were only a couple of dollars each. I also picked up a box of push-pins.





Then I tested a few of them up against my wall, picked out the one I liked best, stretched it tight and pinned it up. --You couldn't tell it wasn't wall paper. --Or you can hang it loose if you want a more flowing effect. It was fast and easy to do, wasn't messy at all, (not like paint or real wall-paper!), and best of all, you can easily change it if you get bored with it.





As a bonus, those little white or colored Christmas lights look great if you string them up along the tops of your walls. I did this for one of my rooms and used that light instead of my regular light sometimes. The effect was really nice.





Have fun with whatever you decide to do!I have white walls in my room and i can't paint, how do i make them look better?
Fabric Wall Coverings: There's a super easy way to add fabric to your walls without glue, staples or nails! And it's found in your local grocery store! Liquid Fabric Starch. Protect carpeting. Choose any color fast fabric that you really love. It HAS to be color fast so the colour doesnt bleed onto the walls.





If it is not color fast, pre-wash it in cold water, adding 1 cup of salt to the water to set the color. If it's not cost effective to do an entire wall or room in the fabric, opt to create ';panels'; of the fabric instead of completely covering a wall.





You could do a panel as a ';headboard'; for your bed. There are some pretty amazing fabrics at place like walmart, or a fabric store. They always have discounted rolls of fabrics.





Purchase a plastic ';wallpaper'; tray from you local decorating or hardware store. Pour liquid fabric starch in to the tray and begin immersing your fabric a little at a time until the entire piece is completely coated. As you remove it from the tray, wipe off any excess with your hands then place against the wall.


You have plenty of time to manipulate it, get it straight and get it in to corners or against the ceiling so take your time.


Using a squeegee, flatten out any air bubbles or wrinkles.Make sure corners and edges are good and tight to the wall.Allow it to dry completely. The fabric is now securely adhered to the wall and even when dry, does not peel up.





When you get ready to move, simply lift a corner of the fabric and peel off. The wall will not show any signs of the fabric or the starch when you take it down.





Or Art and craft stores sell artists canvas on the roll which allows you to purchase continuous lengths in the sizes you desire, but they also sell enormous pre-stretched canvases in super sizes which are perfect for large wall areas and easy to hang.





You can to a plaster decorating affect if you want to ! Like a tree. Simply lay it on the floor then do your Raised Plaster Stenciling design and allow it to dry. Once it is dry, create your favorite faux finish effects over the top of the canvas and plaster.





If you want is a new, more brilliant wall color. Do it with pre-hung canvases painted in your desired color then hang them on the wall. Now you can decorate around this new color to your heart's content!





You can also do huge canvas paintings, or murals, get the unstretched sized canvas, or fabric, paint what you like on them, frame them using moldings, just staple to a piece of molding, one top and bottom, turn the raw edges under along the sides and glue or use iron on strips and then hang them, you can make them as big as you want to !! You could also just paint them a solid colour, hang them them use them as a background for posters !!





Attached a hanger to the back of the top molding and hang like you would a picture !





You can fasten two pieces of canvas together to make a bigger hanging by using that iron on tape, turn the raw edges under, press flat with an iron, then line them up and use the iron on tape to ';sew'; them together';.





Get some real, dead tree branches, thin ones, and paint them black, they fasten them to the wall with that sticky tack, use white, to make a ';tree'; and then attache ';leaves'; made out of bright pieces of fabric, silk plants, or whatever you can think of - it would make a great statement on one wall ! You could even add thinks like geckos ! Go the dollar store and buy a bag of cheap rubber ';critters'; and spray paint them - I just did some ';silver'; geckos, and they look amazing !





Good luck and have fun !!
White walls can disappear or seem less important when you infuse color into other areas of the room. A colorful large rug on the floor is a good start then match up the colors from the rug into your artwork and accessories. Bedding can be simple and elegant with some colorful throw pillows or dynamic. Color can be done in everything but the walls and still make the room inviting. Just don't overdo, Less is always more so pick your colors and your accessories carefully and tastefully. When people enter your room, they should notice your decorating expertise and not the walls.
There is a technique used in the interior design industry called canvassing. It is used when the walls are in rough shape or just not liked. Canvassing is also used for wedding reception areas when the bride and groom do not like the color of the walls.





This technique is achieved by hanging any fabric and pattern of your choice, it can be linen, tapestry, silk, satin, muslin, etc. Simply find the desired fabric by going online and buying in bulk or by going to Joanne Fabrics. Buy yourself a couple of kits of pushpins and start from top of wall and begin pulling and tacking pushpins and fabric to wall. Make sure to pull fabric taut. (tight and straight)
Try buying those things that you can stick on your wall then move to a different spot when you get tired of them. Also try posters, Shelves with some small little stuff on them, or, Put a bulletin board on one wall and just fill it up with pics of you your friends, family, and pets stuff like that! Good Luck with your room!
