Looking for interior design advice?

I’m redecorating my bedroom and I’m stumped. I like industrial, gothic, and any kind of quirky avant-garde kind of theme. But at the same time I like floral patterns and pastels and lace and frilly stuff. Can you give me some design tips for mixing these two styles? Maybe you can link me to some cute furniture, room accessories, wall paper, paints, etc? Also keep in mind I have a budget so nothing too expensive.
Gothic and lace go together like bread-n-butter, so no problem there. Brocade, filigree…these work with dark and also vibrant hues (violets, vermilion, glossy black, etc). Floral patterns were a huge part of the Arts and Crafts movement in the late 1800s-early 1900s, especially the work of William Morris and colleagues in England. Look at C.R. Mackintosh as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Rennie_Mackintosh His styles blended the floral of Art Nouveau with the linearity and simplicity of the Arts and Crafts style. I think a goth inspired room with Mackintosh style furniture would be the most amazing space in the world. Budget-wise, don’t bother looking for any of CRMs stuff, but you can find similar items or even make your own. DIY is the epitome of goth/industrial, so go for it!
