Re: your ROOM after Shadi
I was asked what colours I wanted the walls of my bedroom to be painted with. I did try and keep it neutral (beige/ creamish) so that no matter what the decor is like, it’ll all match reasonably well inshAllah.
The bathroom was his domain 
Honestly, even in joint family one shouldn't have problem decorating their room. If painting is a problem, one can always keep the existing paint, and play around with other things in the room. One can always buy a nice bed set, some acessories to with, move around the furniture in the room and there you go. One really doesn't need a big budget, it can be done in/with a small amount of money. You don't need anyone's permission on how to decorate your room, the room you are living in.
Well there's lots of reasons one cannot do any of that stuff straight after their wedding.. and have to wait months or years to do anything. I don't know about the joint family politics, but it might just nto be very do-able to decorate the way you want it to...esp if they feel like it's not their home.. or those who have to struggle at first because they're not well settled yet... they have ot make do with what they have........
I have never had my own room (well for short periods like vacations but not really) and if i get married, then i'm going to go my whole life without having my own room. I know there are worse things in life, but I would love to have my own space...i was thinking after marriage i could have my own 'office' by name but make it more like a lounge. and that way i wouldn't disturb my hubby either like wen i have to get dressed for a party or something

Sara, what I meant was your really don't need to spend money if you can't.
You can move things around and play with the your exisiting things that you have.
You just needs to have some sense of style and "will" to make your surrounding especially your bedroom according to taste and it is be doable even if you can't afford buying new stuff, etc.
babe i dunno but this seems like a nice beach house room maybe becoz of its doors but i think the colour combo is fabulous

Re: your ROOM after Shadi
When you are in a rented apartment, you dont have much choice in terms of paint etc. Plus sometimes the bedrooms are so tiny. We only have a bed, a dressng table and a side table in our bedroom but its wood and bulky, so there is no space for anything else really.
Regarding themes and decorations, it depeds on your husband/inlaws. If you are living without inlaws , still you have to consider your husband's preferences. My husband likes to have his input too. I remember, once we were buying wall clocks adn we both liked different ones. So we bought both. Then we had to decide which one goes where. Its been a year and he still dislikes "my" wall clock but otehr people who visit love it a lot. Last time someone said it looked nice, he said i should have told them to take it with them, lol.
Re: your ROOM after Shadi
^ someone who gets my point 
IMO the only time u can have full input in whatever u want..is when u have ur own home/apartment, bought and paid for. I still think being able to fully decorate and plan your own place is something of a luxury..

Re: your ROOM after Shadi
Sara, 
chipsy: i know it is funny, hubs says funny stuff like this ALL the time. Ofcourse he doesnt really mean it but it still makes me laugh "D
stylo: After you have been married some time, then things like these dont annoy you anymore. Its more like when they dont pick up after themselves is what gets to you
