Decorating a Girl’s Bedroom

Decorating a girl’s room is one of the most fun interior design projects you can do. There are infinite options for colors, themes and accessories for children bedroom designs. So, whatever your little girl’s choices, you can make an environment that is sure to chill her.

When you start decorating a girl’s room, you should indulge her in the design choices. Teen-aged girls will likely have some design ideas before you start the project and even preschool girls will have choices on the things that will make their bedrooms exceptional.

Consider the girl’s interests before you start your design. Then, find a few design magazines or books – your local library is a big resource for these – with some pictures of decorating schemes you feel are appropriate for the girl’s age and your budget. Look at the pictures together to see what she finds appealing and use this as your starting point. Remember, this is her room and no matter how beautiful you think French provincial style is, if she wants bold colors and a display of soccer trophies, you need to respect her interests and taste.

Looking for some ideas to get you started with decorating a girl’s room? Once you’ve cataloged her interests, do some searches for bedding and accessories with those items. Young girls may like licensed characters (such as the wildly popular Disney Princesses). Other themes that are popular with many young misses include fairies, butterflies, ballerinas and animals.

Older girls may want to avoid specific decorating themes, feeling they are too juvenile. For older school aged females, focus on color and some thematic elements such as flowers, a garden or castle environment. Decorating for teen girls? Try a more traditional decorating style, with youthful colors and elements. For example, a classic teen girl’s bedroom may use shabby chic to create a comfortable cottage environment. Trendy teens may want bold geometric patterns with vibrant colors to carve out their personal space.

Many bedding and furniture catalogs geared toward child designs will show complete themed rooms; these are a great resource as you look for ideas to pull your decorating scheme together

One of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to change a decorating scheme is to change the colors you use in a room. Paint is comparatively inexpensive and even a beginner can do a nice job of rolling paint onto the walls of a bedroom. Fresh paint livens the room and can change the character of a space quickly. Use a light color to make a small space look larger and brighter; white ceilings also make a room seem bigger. Need to make a cavernous room look informal? Try a darker color on the walls.

You can also apply paint to other elements in the room; wooden bookshelves and toy chests can be quickly repainted to give a visual focal point or to blend with a new decorating scheme.

Want to introduce color with some other easy elements? Put a new duvet cover or quilt on the bed – usually the largest furniture piece in the room – to instantly perk up the space. Make sure to add some throw pillows to the bed or chairs to highlight your accent colors. You do not need to purchase expensive bed covers to get a fresh new look.

Worried she’ll grow too large the pink walls she is begging for? Well, she might. But, originally, she will tire of whatever color you put on the walls finally. So, ensure she is committed and get your paint ready.
