Hip designs have a funky and young feel.
Hip decorating ideas infuse a space with a fresh and young mood. Hip design mixes funky, artistic, retro, and kitsch elements to produce a lively and eclectic look. Bold patterns, such as over-sized dots and tiny zigzags, mix with unusual color combinations, such as aqua and tan, to keep the style looking anything but ordinary. Does this Spark an idea?
Living Room
Add a hip mood to your living room with the creative use of wall paint. One aqua blue wall and three baby blue walls provide contrast to the area. Large, subtle, baby blue "O" shapes on the aqua wall help add texture and soften the bold color. White trim helps keep the design looking sharp, and dark wood floors provide a plain base for fun furniture.
A mocha-colored fabric couch with aqua, baby blue, and yellow decorative pillows forms a strong focal point with splashes of color. Wood aqua armchairs with white trim complement the couch design. Black wrought-iron end tables and a matching coffee table with mosaic tile tops provide an eclectic accent. Black wrought-iron curtain rods with sheer yellow curtains add a soft touch around each window.
Bathroom
Combine jade, purple, blue, and gold hues to create a hip bathroom design with a fish theme. Cream walls, white trim, a cobalt blue tile floor, white cabinets, and jade green tile counter tops provide the basic room design. A silky jade shower curtain, colorful fish shower hooks, and a royal purple bathmat add rich hues to the bathtub area.
Layer fish-embroidered white hand towels with cobalt trim over royal purple body towels to create an artistic accent on a golden towel bar. A matching toothbrush holder, soap dish, and soap pump with gold trim and tropical fish designs complement the jade, purple, and blue hues. A royal purple wastebasket and toilet brush cover provide functional and fun accessories that fit the theme.
Bedroom
Use subtle base colors with bold accents to create a young and hip bedroom design. Dark gray carpet, white walls, and lime green trim provide an unusual base. A red fabric-covered bed frame with a cushioned, square, red fabric headboard adds a bold splash of color to the room. White sheets and lime-and-white zigzag-patterned bedding create an amusing contrast against the red.
Thick, rectangular, lime green nightstands with round silver tabletops add a modern touch to the hip bedroom. A short, wide, red wood dresser with silver square knobs provides storage and display space. A large, rectangular, clear glass vase with red, lime, and white swirls decorates the top of the dresser for an artistic accent. Silver curtain rods with pleated red linen curtains create sharp dressings for windows.
