Decorate Girls Bedrooms - Let Them Help Design Their Own Special Space

Decorate girls bed rooms with furnishings and accessories that emphasize their needs and tastes. Consider a simple platform frame, versatile daybed or creative toddler princess bed.

Bunkbeds in tubular steel or solid wooden construction are popular with both little girls and teens. A pull out trundle adds extra sleeping room for visitors.

Begin the makeover

Buy a bedroom suite with a twin or full size double bed and matching dresser, chest and nightstand. Choose contemporary or retro designs in white, black or wood finishes. Colorful accent furniture includes child sized tables and chairs, bean bags, TV cabinets and vanities made for a young girl.

When rooms are small

The underbed storage of a captains bed is a worthwhile decorating idea to keep kids possessions in order. All-in-one loft beds with built in drawers, bookcase and desk are ideal for girls bedrooms and college dorm rooms that have limited floor space. Add a lamp for homework, curtains and a rug to coordinate decor.

Casual or sophisticated

Younger girls and teenagers will appreciate the elegance of a canopy or four poster bed. Show off the brass or gold finish of an iron headboard and footboard with old fashioned bedspreads and linens.

Once rooms are furnished pick paint colors and bedding that reflects your childrens interests. Hundreds of different comforter sets are available online – from a sports or flower theme to butterflies, zig zags and stripes.
