I am a fifteen year old female and don't know what colours to decorate my bedroom with I don't like the typical colours like pink and I want to be different please help?

While it may seem boring now with just one color of paint on the walls and without accent color. Painting the room in light colors-beige, light blue, a shade of white (and there are many!) will make the room appear larger. Also, declutter; all of us tend to put too much unnecessary "stuff" in a room. That makes it look smaller, too. If you have a large closet, try putting the dresser in there. That will give you a lot of extra space. Shelves, instead of bedside tables also appear more spacious. Don't hang a lot of things on all the walls. Try to focus on one area, perhaps over a desk. That would be an ideal place for a message board. Another trick to enlarge a space is to hang a mirror; preferably on a wall across from a window to reflect the light and the outdoor scene. Now, you're ready for the TAH DAH! Decide one color that you love to add pop to the decor in the form of pillows, area rug, curtains, lamp shades, desk accessories...you get the idea...nothing big, just little eye catchers. Good luck.

How do you remove laminate flooring that was put down and glued to the floor?

Depending on the sub-flooring and the quality of the linoleum the job will be easy or a "Bear." It really isn't the floor covering that is difficult it is the adhesive used. the linoleum should come off relatively with little effort it is the adhesive that is tough.

Depending on your situation and the condition of the floor structure, consider using a razor to remove small areas that are bubbled or curling, then fill in those areas to level and then consider adding another layer of 1/4 inch plywood to supply a new base for your replacement flooring.

If the addition of a new underlayment is not an option, scraping the existing adhesive is possible (please wear a mask.) Good Luck.

How do i decorate my room?

Well it depends on what you like. Some ways to do a room makeover is painting your room a theme you like or putting up posters and pictures of people you like. For example-- if you like sports you can hang a basketball hoop above your bed and put up sporting type posters. If you have medals and diplomas you can hang them up. In other words, making a room makeover has lots to do with how your wall looks. Its nice to show of things you like in your room and it also gives a nice feeling. Tidying up your room also helps a lot. So, have fun.

Answer

If you cannot visualize the room differently, first empty it. Clean the walls, fill in the holes and paint and clean the flooring. Then, add back the bed and basic furniture. Once that is arranged, bring back items that seem to fit. Throw away or give away the rest--storage of these items is not wise in the long run (they get ruined), and you will probably never use them again. You can ask siblings or friends if they want the leftovers. Things will seem new in your renovated space.

Can you tile over existing cork flooring in bathroom?

It is not a good idea to install tile on top of anything that will degrade over time, is softer and more flexible than the tile, or is not securely set to the floor or sub-floor, as most cork floors are "floating" floors. Save yourself any aggravation and remove the cork. Chances are it will come up much easier than you might think, even if it's glued down.
