I want to redo my bedroom. Rn it’s quite literally a black metal bed frame, white sheets, and a white striped quilt. My favorite colors are light teal blue, dark purple, mint green, emerald green, and baby pink. Apartment and townhome living until I decide to buy makes me avoid biting the bullet with a headboard. On the one hand, I like canopy bed but have heard that you randomly hit your hand on the wood in the middle of the night. So my other favorite option is a tall 50+ inch upholstered but not tufted headboard. The walls in apartments and townhome rentals are almost always grey, white and or tan. My style is super girly but not like bows! What color should I do? I dont like tan headboards, grey feels too boyish to me…. I debate between a emerald green, white, or teal/pink ( my moms favorite color is pink so idk if I love that ) with all of this said…. Its my dream to one day have a dark purple bedroom ( the walls ) if I ever buy. Hopefully you ladies can help 🩷
Also feel free to give any bedroom advice. Ive never had like a fully furnished,perfectly beautiful space so this is all very new to me!

Hopefully someone with experience can help me out, but I have enough savings to make a 20 percent down payment on anything that I want. I’ve lived in a house, a townhome and an apartment. I didnt hate apartment living but Idk if if I would truly love it for the rest of my life / when I’m elderly. I do not like the concept of a house because when I was a kid, it was always something. A tree would fall and we were 2800 dollars in debt or the sink started dripping and it was 5,000 dollars and still broken.

We lived in a townhome and I loved it! The only thing is I struggle with feeling crazy for wanting to live in a house by myself that could be 1100-1600 sqft. My mom visits several times a year. I foster kittens and dog sit for friends. I even baby sit occasionally and plan to do so at my home if needed. My schedule is busy though. I work 5 days a week and then pull 2 12 hour shifts almost every weekend. Although I do not plan to work this much forever….I go out with friends, go to classes and on vacation. Basically, does anyone else have experience living alone with a busier life in a decently sized home for me to compare this to?
