Girls Bedrooms
Girls bedrooms should be filled with beautiful colors, textures, fabrics, and personal detail that make the space one she can proudly call her own in the house. Bedroom decorating ideas for girls abound, so you're sure to find a theme or style that will be perfect for your daughter, niece, or granddaughter.
Bedroom Decorating Ideas For Girls
Normally, paint is the first consideration when decorating a room. However, when it comes to girl’s bedrooms, it might be helpful to first find out what interests your child and then decide on colors and theme.
Popular colors for girls bedrooms are pink, soft yellow, pale turquoise, blues, soft lilacs, earth tones, green and even bright white. Keep in mind that you'll likely be changing the theme in the room in a few short years, so choose a paint color that could be the backdrop for several different themes if possible. One new trend is to paint two walls one color and the opposite two walls a different color for added interest.
Surround your girl with fabric of all colors, styles, and textures. Girls love being enveloped in fabrics that are soft, colorful and comfortable. Sheet sets should be soft and luxurious. The comforter should reflect the overall theme of the room or coordinate with the color on the walls and in the accessories.
Plush throw pillows, over-the-bed canopies, oversized floor pillows, and flowing window treatments are all ways to incorporate splashes of color and detail into your girls’ bedroom.

Furniture in girls bedrooms should be feminine and well built. Choose pieces that can be updated as your girls grows. Beds, dressers, and nightstands can often be painted to update her decor. Consider furniture that is both beautiful and functional.
Storage options such as drawers under the bed or ottomans with lids are an important consideration for girls since they love to have collections of things.
A dresser can be updated with new knobs. A hope chest is a beautiful addition for a girl's bedroom. A hope chest that can double as a bench seat is especially useful. A comfortable cushion on the top that coordinates with the bedding gives her a soft place to put on shoes or socks.
Create a special reading or craft area in one corner of your girl's bedroom. A desk with drawer space or rolling storage bins can double as an area for homework or crafting. Make sure there is ample light throughout the room for reading, relaxing, or just hanging out with friends. Use a combination of overhead lighting and wall-mounted lamps to give her plenty of lighting options.
Girls love details! Look at magazines or decorating websites together so she can point out what she likes in a room. Take those ideas and make them happen for her. Include girly items like a fabric-covered corkboard for her to display personal photos and other items.
Stencil patterns across the border of her ceiling for added detail. Shelves are perfect for displaying keepsakes and stuffed animals. Use baskets, pretty hatboxes, or photo storage boxes to store her little treasures.
