Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The only person who can paint her room is you!.
Really get into your characters head!.

Although, if your still struggling here are some ideas!.

She could paint her room when ever she wants, eg!. personal messages, paintings of random imaginings, dreams or whatever she feels!.

Or it could be quirky, she could paint it black and absolutely cover it in glow in the dark stars!.
She could hang mirrors all over so there is not one spot of wall!. But they have to different sized mirrors, not wall to walls!.
She could have carpet walls!. Ideal for the music loving teen!.

If she is very, very feminine,make it pink on pink with white furniture-ruffles and flowers as accents!.!. If she is a thinker, do it in shades of green,with white spread and pillows, woodwork and furniture, use live plants as accents, If she is sophisticated; black and white with red and gold accents,black furniture, oriental rug!. If she wants something restful; french blue and or aqua and lilac should work well with natural wicker furniture, a collection of African violets on a window sill!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I MIGHT HAVE THE ANSWER BUT DONT GET TO EXCITED!.!.!.EVERYNES NOT THE SAME!!!
i am also [[about to be]] 14 and use ur imagination!.!.!.being a writer myself i believe u can just look around and find what u need!.
What color is ur room!? use urself as an example!.
And if u r like me and ur room looks like crap then think a little; what would u want ur room to look like!? what does ur friends room look like!. What does ur fav actor/actress/singer/rapper's room look like!.
INSPERATION CAN COME FROM NEWHERE, JUST LOOK AROUND!.!.!.
*Blue walls!.!.!.white dresser sets and bed head/foot board!.!.!.if this is some what of a "chick flick" then 'girly' is definitly the way to go!.the more prep the better!!!*Www@QuestionHome@Com

Would it matter if she painted it blue instead of green!? If the color of her room is significant and you are going to revisit it as a part of the plot, I'd say go with cream or beige but then it really depends on how you include it in the plot!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Match the room with her personality!.
Examples:

Goth ~ Black
Happy-go-lucky ~ Yellow/Pale blue
Girly-girl ~ Light pink/Hot pinkWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your character's room should reflect your character's personality!. For example, if she's goth, paint her room black!.

Whatever you do - don't make it stereotypical!. Don't do the uber matchy girly girl room!. Or the super emo look!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Have her paint a mural on all four walls!. For the furniture, maybe she recycles broken furniture and fixes them!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

depends on the character
