Sugar and spice...........and everything nice. Girls know what they like and what they don't like. When decorating a girl's room, the collaboration between girls and their parents should balance the wants and the needs.
Girls are more particular with color. They have determined early on what hues appeal to them and they like showing their favorite color in almost everything they have - hair accessories, bags, notepads, pencils, dresses, nail polish and other things possible to put colors on. Pink, lavender, yellow and light green are top colors for girls. Girls love slumber parties, so a room that is welcoming and convenient for accommodating friends for longer than an afternoon visit is crucial. This is made possible by the room's color, which reflects a warm and cozy living space.
A popular look draws inspiration from the ocean. Walls are painted watery blues to mimic the ocean, neutral or sand-colored flooring with clouds on the ceiling. Accessories such as seashells, bottles of sand, paintings, etc are abundant. A terrific addition would be an alarm clock that wakes her up to the sounds of the waves crashing onto shore or the sound of seagulls.
Another popular theme among girls is romantic nighttime, with stars, wisps of thin clouds and the moon on a black sky.
Working this in the room takes only a little imagination. We see this almost every night so you only need to copy. The ceiling can be painted a midnight blue instead of black (unless your girl is a rock star at heart), paint a yellow-streaked moon and add glittering stars.
Another theme is of nature or flowers, in particular. This is a fun idea to work on because of the play of colors - yellow, red, orange, pink, white, etc. You can practically use all colors for applying a nature or flower theme, as we are indeed surrounded by colors everywhere. Moreover, it's very easy to find printed fabrics and floral designs.
Another favorite theme for girls and for parents is the cottage theme. For this decor theme, you can use a lot of second-hand furniture. Also the cottage theme is very easy because white is the main color with accents of pink, sky blue and pale green. Furniture such as dressers and tables are painted. Fabric choices include florals, stripes and ginghams.
To complete the look, area rugs come to the rescue. An ocean theme can be highlighted by a rug in green or blue color. A moonlight or starlight theme can be adorned with an area rug with a similar design. There are rugs in bright colors and printed floral designs for a nature/flower theme and country home inspired look.
Decorating can be a joint project between you and your daughter, sister, cousin or niece. She will appreciate the outcome so much more if she experiences firsthand the effort that goes with decorating. In addition, her room will feel more personal because she was part of transforming it into her own dream wonderland - in the middle of a lush forest, a garden, a quiet night full of stars, a country home or whatever she wishes her room to be. Allow her to choose her own decorations and watch as her face glows with excitement as her room slowly changes right before her eyes.
Interior Design has never been so easy with these girls rugs.
