Decorating my room?
I need a look for my room. I'm 14. I have a very small room, it's 10ft x 15ft. The height is 9.5ft. The color of the wall is green. Now, I'm planning to add an accent color of black and white. And a little splash of orange. The crown molding is the same color as the walls. I have a white ceiling and a white cabinet that goes from the floor to the ceiling.
Items in my room that needs color
1. Bed sheet
2. Pillow sheet
3. Comforter / blanket
4. 2-seater sofa
5. Rug
6. Lamp shade
7. Curtain
8. Photos, candles, any accessories.
My question:
1. Where exactly will I put the orange?
2. How about the black and white?
3. What color will I put on the 8 things listed above?

Please help me?
I'd use the black and/or white on the sofa. That way if you want to change your decor down the road you'll still be able to incorporate the sofa. Remember that white will get dirty. Here's one you might want to consider because it won't take up as much space.

A "triangle" of color makes a room comfortable -- keeps your eye moveing. If you choose a black sofa, consider adding some black to the bedding (pillows, comforter, blanket, whatever) and then in a third location (maybe curtains or frames on the wall, etc.). Do the same with the orange. Maybe throw pillows or throw on the sofa, pillow cases on the bed, candles or other accessories on the other end of the room. Throwing in a bit of the green here and there could be nice too, but if the colors are all comfortable together, the wall color doesn't actually have to be repeated in the room.
Consider a slightly muted orange since your green is muted. You can go darker or lighter with the orange if you like, but it will "feel" better if you don't go brighter.
Also consider a dark brown rather than the black. It is a more "natural" color palet while still allowing nearly the same contrast. The brown will anchor the room nicely.
If you do opt for dark curtains, you may want them to be lined to protect them from fading.
It doesn't really matter exactly where you use each color. Just look for things that you enjoy. If you get too caught up in exactly which color should go where you may get frustrated in the hunt. Just make sure to move the color throughout the room.
Not sure about your style, but this could look cool with you color scheme.
