The Best Girls Bedroom Decorating Ideas Involve Parents and Daughters
Girls may be difficult creatures to please when it comes to settling on the decor of their private fantasy domain, which we might more mundanely call a bedroom. The selection of a theme or dominant mood should be discussed with your daughter, and let her sleep on the idea for a week or so, because she may opt to change her mind. It is her domain, after all, and she should have some say it the matter. It is not recommended to make it a surprise, because she will feel pressure to approve and look happy even if she is not feeling so happy about it inside. That's why psychologically it is best to involve children in certain decisions, since it also teaches them how to weigh factors, make a selection and then have to accept their own decision.
A bedroom has to be functional and provide all of the things that are needed, including a place to sleep, relax and play. Storage of clothing and playthings not selected to be out in the open on display is necessary, and if possible, these can be included in the changes if you have a budget to include new furniture, theme beds and other key items.
When the budget is more restricted, you can do a lot with just plain paint. Bright colors will create a feeling of freshness and will lessen eyestrain when your daughter is reading since it reflects and diffuses all light sources better than a darker color does. Pink for girls is naturally the first color that comes to mind when you think of girls, and it adds an ambiance of fairy tales and princesses and the many stories that go with them. One suggestion is to alternate broad pink and white stripes on the walls, usually in a vertical pattern. Other colors such as pastel greens combine well with pink. Random designs that you make with a blotting sponge can add an interesting effect.
Some bedrooms, by necessity, are shared with another sister. This can pose additional difficulties when they two girls can't decide on a single theme or color. It is possible to solve this dilemma by painting two walls with the favorite color of one girl and the other wall with the favored color of the other girl. The same can be said for the addition of stencils and other themed drawings, posters, and so on.
When it comes to the bed, choose a bed spread with a texture and color that either complements the room or that can contrast it. The drapes can be selected to match. A reversible bed spread is a great money-saving idea if it has a solid color on one side and a pattern on the opposing side. This is especially useful for shared bedrooms, since you can have many combinations to change the mood.
Girls like all children, grow up and their moods and taste can change on a yearly basis. You may already know this attribute of her personality and if it is suspected that she might change her likes as she grows up, consider not freezing a lot of very specific theme-related items into the design. Choose elements that are easy to change or paint over. Let your daughter participate in the changes that come, often after birthday time when a girl manifests the notion of being a year older and somehow different.
When it comes to selecting major furniture, try to avoid heavy, bulky furnishings that create difficulties when you want to rearrange the room to instill a new look and feel. Let you imagination run wild. Research many different ideas that are easy to find on the web, often with full color photos. Be creative and let the creative process overflow to your daughter's input on the project to achieve a satisfying result.
