The elementary-school years are a delight. No longer an infant or toddler requiring middle-of-the-night care, but not yet a teen with a corresponding attitude, the elementary-age child, for the most part, is full of fun, love, and whimsy. If you have a daughter in this age category, it’s time for her to have a bedroom that reflects her status as “not a baby anymore,” yet still retains the innocence of childhood. Here are eleven ideas for decorating a bedroom that will thrill any little girl.
1. Get Happy
Well-loved stuffed animals, a cheery throw blanket that ties the color scheme together, and more fun touches on the wall and ceiling light can create the happy atmosphere for a kids room. The pastel grey and pink palette steals the show and it is hard to find a better color combo for a little girl’s bedroom.
2. Provide A Study Corner
Your daughter’s nightly homework assignments will grow right along with her. Every school-age child needs a desk for study time. The simple desk fronted by adorable wall decor is the perfect spot to study. Just fill in space over the headboard with colorful and wonderfully patterned wallpaper as well as cute art pieces.
3. Make Room For Magic and Imagination
Kids see the world differently than adults, infusing imagination and magic into the everyday. These whimsical wall feature such as the neon light moon and unicorn add a touch of enchantment.
4. Make Space For Playtime
To create a room your little one will love, try focusing on the thing they love to do most: play! First, give them ample space to play with their favorite toys. You can decorate the room with different shapes and sizes of their beloved stuff toys, creating a welcoming and friendly space for them.
5. Design A Kid’s Friendly Space
Want to create a kid-friendly space? Imagine you’re three feet tall. A floor-level, house-frame bed doubles as a play zone, and open shelving allows well-loved toys to serve as charming accessories. This pint-sized table and chair set offer a comfortable alternative to traditional furnishings, while low bins, open shelving, and easy-to-access hooks encourage self-responsibility and independent play. By putting yourself in your little one’s shoes, you can easily create a space that is as functional as it is cute.
6. Keeping It Simple
By keeping the décor simple and furnishings to a minimum, you’ll create more space to play and provide a neutral canvas that can be easily updated as your child grows. Here the key is providing plenty of open floor space so your child can have ample space to play.
7. Incorporate Pattern and Textures
Careful use of pattern and texture are important decorating tools to transform a room from plain to breathtaking with just a few added elements. These beautiful bed cover and area rug create a well-balanced and visually interesting space to the room.
8. Use Grown Up Color
There’s no denying that many little girls love all things pink, but that doesn’t mean a girl’s room has to look like a bubblegum factory. These bedrooms demonstrate how pastel grey, pink and classic white can work in a girl’s bedroom.
9. Storage Space
From their toys, games, and books to their ever-changing wardrobes in multiple sizes, kids come with a lot of stuff. Consider having built in storage furniture such as built in wardrobe and cabinets for the neat look. Hooks, wall hugging book rails are also an easy way to expand your storage potential.
