Answer
In general, when you're starting from a fresh pallet, it's easiest to start out with the most bold/patterned items first, which is usually area rugs, bedding and artwork. With Latin design, you will want a lot of bold all over, so starting with these first is even more important because you want things to come together. When you feel like you have enough bold and pattern with any combination of these things, then take the colors in those pieces and find your paint and other solid colors. When I think of Latin design, I think of colors with lots of contrast- reds, yellows, oranges, maybe even a dark primary blue. Since you're 18 (I'm guessing either at home or in a rental) I would recommend doing this in painting the walls with these colors (as permitted of course-- a rusty yellowy orange would be fun) because it's inexpensive, & you/your parents can always paint over it if need be. Also bedding and area rugs are a great way to express yourself, but you can take it with you when you move. A bold area rug would lend to your need for the salsa style, but also make it comfy too. **ALSO there is NOTHING wrong with putting an area rug over plain neutral boring carpeting-- I hate it when people fight this because the color of an area rug makes SUCH a difference in the room, even if carpet is there already! Hope this helps... Good luck!
