Decorating a Little Girl’s Room on a Budget
Every little
girl deserves to feel like a princess in her
bedroom, and it is not necessary to have the
resources of a king or queen to make her
dreams come true. Any bedroom can be easily
transformed into a haven fit for a little
princess, even when it is necessary to stick
to a decorating budget. With paint, window
treatments, bedding, throw pillows, and an
affordable canopy, your little princess can
have the beautiful bedroom she has always
wanted.
Begin with Paint
When decorating on a budget, paint is by far
one of the least expensive improvements that
has the potential to make the biggest impact
in a bedroom. Dark or dull colors enclose a
room and darken the mood. Open up your
little girl’s bedroom with a lighter color,
and make it bright and cheery. Pink is a
classic choice for a little girl’s bedroom,
but a bedroom for a little princess does not
have to be pink. Visit your local home
improvement store, and browse the many color
options. You will find many beautiful new
shades of floral green, rich lavender, and
creamy yellow. Paint a single accent wall,
or bathe the entire room with a clean, crisp
new look.
Bedding and Accessories
Buying new bedding and bedding accessories
for a little girl’s bedroom is really a very
affordable way to change the entire look of
the room. Consider classic character
bedding, or choose a solid color that can be
accessorized with your little girl’s
favorite dolls, stuffed animals, or princess
themed items. When decorating on a budget,
solid colored bedding will never go out of
style, and it will grow with your little
girl‘s changing preferences.
Any bed will look like a million bucks when
accessorized with color-coordinating throw
pillows, and those on a budget will find
many affordable options. When decorating
your little girl’s bedroom, choose colorful
throw pillows of various sizes, shapes,
colors, and textures. She will love lounging
on an array of comfy pillows, and they will
turn an ordinary bed into an extraordinary
place for rest, play, and relaxation.
Every little girl would love a canopy bed,
but a completely new bedroom suit is not
always an option, especially when decorating
on a budget. Any bed can be transformed into
a canopy bed with the addition of a portable
hanging canopy. A circle of long flowing
netting and lace can be hung over the head
of your little girl’s bed, and she will feel
like a real princess when surrounded by
yards of canopy netting.
Window Treatments
When choosing window treatments for a little
girl’s bedroom, it is important to choose
light-blocking blinds or shades to ensure
restful sleep. The curtains or drapery
should be light and airy and coordinate well
with the room. Sheer panels of alternating
colors are ideal for a princess theme on a
budget. For example, choose pastel colored
sheer panels for the other edges of the
windows, and sheer white or creamy ivory for
the center. Top the windows with beautiful
interlocking looped waterfall valences or
graceful scarf valences for impressive
window treatments that will make your little
girl‘s bedroom the room of her dreams.
