Judith Balis Black walls can be a great compromise for you and your "Goth-phased" teen. Unless their bedroom is in a dark basement, black walls can actually look very chic if done right. Make sure to add a lot of white to balance the room, and keep the ceiling white. A really funky old chandelier spray painted in a bright unexpected color like green, red, or pink, would also help your teen get that "goth" vibe without creating a depressing space that you'll dread seeing everyday. Cheers,

Niki Papadopoulos I have never tried it but I say go for it! Just make sure you read and follow the instructions and be careful. I imagine that it's not quite like painting on wood so if you get a quality metal paint you should be ok---there seems to be less room for error. Good Luck!

karendrennan Thanks! I have already painted a very small spot on the back post, but used a sponge which results in a textured effect. Used turquoise, copper, and dk green in a mottled effect. Don't know if I like the texture though. May have to take it apart and use a spray can. Taking steps in making a project take longer - ugh! Be a perfectionist, or go for the simple is my constant grief... I'll post a pic soon.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Between Naps on the Porch to Houzz Tour: Good-bye Green Shag-Carpeting; Hello Gorgeous!
It's youthful, glamorous and fun. Madeline must be the envy of all her friends in this sophisticated and chic bedroom.
added by Shawn Gauthier to Mixing Patterns: Start With Black and White
Consider using a geometric pattern to balance those that are more detailed. A striped wall complements floral paper in this bedroom.
added by Lawrence Karol to Expert Talk: Dreaming of a Daybed
Make it practical and affordable. Judith Balis of Nest Interiors created this room for her teenage daughter. It's located in a small basement room to give her privacy away from her younger sibling."The use of a daybed allows for optimal floor space while still providing a comfortable place for her to hang out and have sleepovers with friends," Balis says. "There's a trundle bed tucked secretly behind the bed skirt that rolls out when needed."She adds, "The bed itself was a thrift store find for $100, and we spray painted it in this yummy turquoise to give it a special little punch against all the black and white."
