What's The Perfect Bedroom Design For Your Little Girl?

By Khrystelle Stuart

It is indeed easier to brainstorm for girly ideas, isn't it? The selections and varieties for designing a girl's bedroom are numerous. There are more colors and styles fit for girls. We can say that girls are more forgiving to use "unladylike" colors and designs than it is for boys to use "unmanly" pieces. A girl's room can be decked in stars, planets and blues and greens and live happily. Whereas, it seems we'll have a hard time finding a guy going about quietly with a bedroom adorned in pinks and pastels, florals and ruffles, and colorful decorations. Can they even sleep peacefully? Hence, it's safe to say that bedroom decorating for girls is a task much less troublesome. Plus, brainstorming doesn't take too long that is, until the fickle mind sets in.

Beachy themes are very popular, especially if you live very near a seashore or a body of water. It's very easy to design and will surely be a hit with a girl who loves the outdoors and the water. Ocean themes can be done with a light blue or blue-green for the walls and a neutral color near beige for the floor. This should simulate the water and the sand of the real thing.

A feminine style is seen in fairytale, princess and flower-related designs. This style is well-loved because of the colorful look, girly textures from the ruffles and florals, and the cute shapes in decorations.

The universe is just as intriguing to girls as it is to boys. Boys however go for the astronauts and spaceships while girls prefer the dreamy stars and moon. The stars can be glow in the dark dots on the wall or bolder strokes akin to the stars of the outer space.

Flowers will never go wrong in a girl's eyes. Decorating the bedroom with floral prints, flower arrangement, lots of flower colors and sunflower-shaped rugs or rugs designed with flower arts will certainly give your daughter her own paradise.

Fairytales are also a favorite theme for many young girls. The Disney princesses and other characters from famous animated movies become the girls' good friends. Most follow the setting of a castle while others make use of the key pieces in the story's plot. For example, mermaids (The Little Mermaid), fairies or fairy godmothers, Arabian-inspired design (Aladdin) and penguins (Happy Feet). The ideas are limitless, especially nowadays when the materials for children are growing both in books, TV programs and movies. Allow your child to use her creativity and apply her loved character and story.

Do you have a lot of secondhand items you want to use? A cottage theme incorporates those items very well. Whites and light colors paired with distressed furniture and simple patterns will give the room a very welcoming, home-on-the-range feel. It won't look very expensive, but it'll most definitely be cozy for your little girl.

Regardless of the theme that you and your daughter eventually choose, remember to put a lot of lively colors and soft textures into the room to make it friendlier. A plush rug in a light or neutral color, for example, gives your child some space on the floor to play, read or lie on. It's all about what pieces will make the space more comfortable for your child.
