Princess Themes for Girls' Rooms

Walls

First, it’s time to choose your colors. Little girls love pink, and there are plenty of lovely shades you can choose, from light to bright, and everything in between. But don’t stop at pink - light blues, yellows, or purple make good choices for bedrooms as well.

The walls are great place to build your theme - and have some fun doing it! Paint a castle scene on the wall, complete with a moat, drawbridge, horses, and fluffy, white clouds floating by. You can even use faux stone to “build” your castle. Stenciled flowers, butterflies, and maybe even a few fairy princesses complete the transformation from four boring walls to storybook wonderland.

The Bed

Posh Tots

We all know a princess needs very comfortable bed in keeping with her royal status (remember the Princess and the Pea?). The bed is your little princess’s throne, and this is another chance to go all out on a little girly fun. Go for a four poster bed, with plenty of gauzy fabric draped around to create a canopy. If the four poster canopy look isn’t your thing, you can create the look of curtains behind the bed with some gauzy fabric as well, hanging them from the wall. Make sure there are plenty of pillow on the bed - combine fabric types, and try to incorporate some of the colors from your wall arts.

Character Themes

Does your little girl have a particular princess role model in mind? You can easily incorporate the princess of choice into the room by using character themed sheets, bedspreads, wall hanging, pillows, lamps, and more. Collector Connectionhas a huge selection of Disney princess decorating. From Sleeping Beauty to the Little Mermaid, the gang’s all here.

Finishing Touches

Finish off the look with the little touches every queen-to-be needs:

• Add “princess” knobs to the dressers and drawers - it will give the furniture a quick, low cost makeover, plus carries on your theme.

• Hang colored fairy lights

• Get a name plaque for the door, with your little girl’s name stenciled on, so everyone knows her princess status!

• Display fairy tale books on brightly colored bookshelves, full of princess stories.

• Create a “dressing area” with a little vanity table and chairs

Remember to involve you child in the decision making process as much as possible. The fantasy land of a princess themed bedroom is a great chance for your child to flex their creative muscle. The only problem you may have when the room is done is convincing her royal highness to leave the castle!
