A young girl's room should be a place that is both comfortable and uniquely her own. Creative ideas for decorating a bedroom help bring a young girl's personality into focus while unifying the look of her space. Use creativity when choosing and combining furniture and colors.
Accent Wall
Many girls would love to paint their entire bedroom in bright colors, but the effect can be garish. Compromise by painting one wall in a bright color and painting the rest of the walls white or a neutral tone. The eye will be drawn to the accent wall, and it will brighten up the room while not overwhelming the viewer.
Day Bed
A day bed holds a mattress but has a back and arms which make it resemble a couch. Not only is a daybed decorative and elegant, it allows the girl to feel as though she has her own living space. A bedroom with only a normal bed may feel totally dedicated to sleeping, but a day bed creates the feel of a living room. A day bed is also useful for a girl who loves to bring friends over.
Bedspreads
The bed is typically the largest piece of furniture in the room, and the right bedspread allows you to add a splash of color to the room. Allow the girl to choose her own bedspread, and suggest one that is reversible so that she can turn it over when the mood strikes her. Bedspreads featuring popular TV show characters or cartoon characters are also fun choices for younger girls. Sequined or beaded bedspreads add texture to the room, as do velvet or corduroy bedspreads. Match the material of the bedspreads to the window dressings for a unique, finished look for the entire room.
Rugs
Bare hardwood floors become much more welcoming when rugs are introduced. Choose rugs that match the room's color theme. Oval rag rugs create a soft, homey appearance, while shag rugs give the room a deeper, softer texture. Allow the girl to choose her own rugs as they are easily replaceable if she gets tired of them. Rugs can also be hung on the walls to provide a softer texture to the walls. The girl can also make her own rugs by braiding together strips of old fabric and sewing them together in an oval or circle.
Bean Bags
For a fun, retro look, buy a few bean bag chairs for a girl's room. Bean bag chairs offer more seating for guests and they add color to a room. Choose bright colors that will add contrast to the rest of the room or darker colors that add a hint of richness and depth to the colors that are already there.
