All little girls deserve to feel like princesses and no matter how unique her personality, there is a princess for her to emulate from Disneys Cinderella to Ariel and from Princess Jasmine to Fa Mulan or Pocahontas. Fortunately, it is now easier than ever to recreate the perfect princess pad for your little ones, the only problem you may face is deciding which great items to include.
Before you get started with your princess room, you’ll want to have a look at some of the great ideas in our gallery. This will help you to see what is available and what you can do with the space you have. Even on a very limited budget, you can turn a standard sized room into something spectacular with a little help, even making the process of transforming the bedroom into something your little one can get involved in and enjoy.
Paint The Walls.
Your first step is to decide on a wall color. Remember that it is easy to go overboard, and thats great if that’s the look you want, but for many starting with pale shades of pink, blue, lavender and yellow are a great basic color to start with. Girls love candy stripes, so you may decide on that or perhaps consider a lattice work or a two tone.
Bedding Made for a Princess.
Finding good quality Disney Princess bedding is easy with a wide range of different types of bedding sets available from quilts to comforters and silky satin fabrics to elegantly laced sheets. You may decide to go for something simple but rather have some accent features such as satin or silk scatter cushions on the bed.
Furniture Fit for Royalty.
Starting with the bed, you’ll have a wide range of different styles to choose from ranging from ornate carriage beds to four poster canopy beds or a lovely day bed. Princess generally love things to twinkle and there is no better way that to install her own chandelier. These are great for projecting twinkling light around the room and will make her bedroom feel like a ballroom.
Whats on the Walls.
Finally you may want to include some artwork on the walls. There are a wide range of murals, decals and wall stickers on the market that will turn her bedroom into a playground of fun.
Accessories are easy to add and could include window treatments, lamps, rocking chairs and couches, area rugs, throw pillows and blankets. You could invest in some wall art, posters or decals, buy a vanity and chair or even just a night light. Bean bag chairs are also very popular as are clocks, toy boxes and peg boards. Just a simple picture frame or some dolls can transform a room and while a table and chairs or even a flip open sofa are great additions, its often the smaller items that attract the most attention.
Final Tips for Decorating on a Budget…
If you are short of money but still want to give your little one a room to be proud of, then consider decorating it with just a few accent pieces such as a bed or a handmade canopy.
Texture and vibrancy are great ways to enhance any room, so use a lot of beads, crystals, feathers, faux fur and sheer materials. By simply attaching a boa of feathers around the top and bottom of a lampshade, it can be tranformed into something magical for a little one. Sticking flowers and crystals around a mirror or even sea shells for a Princess Arial bedroom will make all the difference.
