Doing up a bedroom is super fun in many ways, and when it comes to kids or a teenage girl's bedroom, the possibilities are absolutely endless. While stereotypes may show that a girl's bedroom needs to be an overload of pink, we'd like to disagree and show you 15 girls bedroom ideas starting from wall decor, type of bed to be used and several other tips that aren't all pink.
15 Trending Girls Bedroom Ideas That Aren't All Pink
Paint a Rainbow
Wall murals and art are a great way to engage kids or teens while brightening up the space. You could get your hands dirty and do it yourself along with the kids or have a wall decal that you can switch up often. Have it done by the bedside to give the room a vibrant, colourful touch.
Dedicate a Space for Toys
Kids' bedrooms are almost always messy with toys lying around. Get a dedicated wardrobe and a spot to store away all the toys, stationery and games. Make this space vibrant with some wall art and comfy seating so they can learn to pick up after themselves.
Make Space for a Desk
Kids are often caught doing their homework in common areas of a home like the dining table or living room. Neither of these spaces are suitable for kids, especially for young ones as the furniture dimensions are made for adults. Place a desk at the nearest natural light source in their room, so they have some privacy for homework and other activities in the quiet of their room. This holds good even when they grow up.
Install Simple Art
For toddlers and younger girls, getting simple art like line drawings or monochromatic art works well. Get them done in designs they can relate to or already love like a favourite animal or toy.
Play with Pastels
Pastel shades are pleasant and calming to look at, which is why they're preferred for spaces like bedrooms. If you live in a rental that doesn't allow for accent walls, play with a neutral canvas and do up the space with soft furnishings like the bedding, wall frames, and side table. Shades like blush pink and lilac work well to create the perfectly girly room decor.
Set up a Scandinavian Inspired Room
If you're not too sure of what colours you could use in your girl's bedroom, start with a neutral palette for furniture. As the kids grow up and have a personality of their own, you always have the option of switching up the rugs, curtains, bedding, and cushion covers as per their preference. This goes well if they're sharing a space with other siblings too.
Get a Low Bed
If you have a child that loves playing on the floor, get a lower bed that they may enjoy. Place a play rug and cushions around for when they have friends over for playdates so they can use the bed as seating as well.
Get a Net Canopy
Your girls bedroom needs to be functional, yet cosy, and aesthetic. You could get a dainty netted canopy to go around the bed to create a cosy effect in the bedroom. This invokes some sense of safety and cosiness too, especially if you have a fussy sleeper.
Opt for a Minimal Wall Mural
Some motifs like stars or the moon are commonly loved by kids, and if yours does too, consider getting an accent wall with a minimal wallpaper with these designs. You could also have them hand-painted by a local artist.
Make Space for Storage
This is especially for compact spaces—storage can be hard to come by, so make use of the space above, below or around the bed, so that you're not cluttering the room with cupboards and movable furniture. If you're doing up a teen girls bedroom, they'll need as much storage as possible.
Install a Chalkboard
Have a budding artist at home? How about installing a chalkboard with some colourful chalks where they can make their to-do lists, use during study sessions or doodle on.
Set up an Indoor Tent
Tents are a pretty neat addition to girly room decor to create a little space where they can play or read a book, not to mention a complete hit for playdates as well. Make it cosy with soft floor cushions and use light coloured fabrics for the tent.
Create a Vintage Haven
If you have a teen or preteen, chances are they might appreciate a unique vintage, distressed look. Get wooden bedding and side tables to go with it. Add in lilacs or pastels to add some variety of colour.
Hang up a Plant or Two
A plant pretty much works in any space, including a girls bedroom. Get easily maintainable ones like cacti, snake plants or even a money plant that kids (or eventually you) can maintain easily.
Pro Tip: Indoor plants for the home.
Add Cosy Lights
Ditch the regular bed lamps and opt for cosy string lights to have some source of light through the night. This easily makes the room not only aesthetic, but also super cosy.
