Yeah, yeah, YEAH! We know those Pepto pink walls, dreamy unicorns and cutesy butterflies aren't cutting it anymore and you done already passed 'GO' on being ready to redecorate your bedroom. Well, we're gonna show you how to do it, do it for cheap, and most of all, do it in true Glossy Girl fashion.

The first style of decorating we're gonna tackle is Contemporary style. When you whip your room like this, it means that you're putting a modern twist on old favorites. According to Better Homes & Gardens (no, it's not just for old biddies), "contemporary style is often defined by clean lines with a casual atmosphere, open spaces, neutral colors, and elements and materials inspired by nature." To get this look, for example, instead of having flowers on your bedspread, you do a simple stripe; or you exchange curvy furniture for straighter angles. Check out BHG's gallery contemporary bedrooms to see the complete put-together look.

There are some simple things you can do you update your room style into a contemporary teen bedroom. Here are some products that will work quick & in a hurry, and best of all, on a budget!

The best way to update a teen bedroom is to change your bedding. Bed-in-a-bag sets are ideal for this type of redo because you get everything you need in one swoop!

Another way to change up your look is with a lamp. A table or floor lamp will do you just fine depending on the amount of space you have in your room.
