Kids Room Ideas - Great Decorating Themes for Girl's Rooms

When looking for kids room ideas, consider designing around a particular theme.

For girl's rooms, you might create a theme around a whimsical fabric that both you and your child love.

Maybe it's a fabric printed with florals, geometric shapes, or even an abstract, colorful design. Then choose a coordinating fabric for accent pieces, and use this fabric for trims, pillow shams, a bedskirt, or chair cushions.

Just try to pick a fabric that you think is sophisticated enough so that your daughter will still love it for a number of years.

There are many wonderfully creative themes to choose from when you are looking for kids room ideas. For a girl's bedroom, you might pick a design around an ocean theme.

Try using a watery blue for the walls, and a wave or beach ball print border. Try sand colors on the floor, and paint clouds, or apply stickers, on the ceiling.

Pick up some of the colors from the wallpaper border for accent pieces, such as bedside tables, comforters, and rocking chairs. Hang a beautiful print on the wall of a beach scene, and your child will almost be able to hear the waves as she's falling asleep.

Another whimsical kids room idea for a girl's room is a secret garden theme. Try wallpaper with roses and leaf tendrils. Or go for a more modern print of bees or dragonflies.

You can also buy stencils for the walls, such as flowers, vines, herbs, birds, and butterflies. Pick a color from the wallpaper for a fabric border.

For accessory pieces, such as pillow shams, dust ruffles, chair seats, and curtains, choose fabrics or paint designs in stripes, checks, or polka dots.

You could even go wild and construct a white picket fence attached to the wall or as a headboard. If the room is bright, you might even weave a lush philodendron through the slats of the picket fence.

Angels, elves, or fairies are always a popular choice for kids room decorating ideas. Girls of all ages, even teens, love this theme. For an angel theme, try appliques or paint clouds and glowing winged angels on the ceiling or walls.

Of course, an easy and inexpensive way to make these themes come alive is with artwork or posters. Here is a source you should check out for a huge selection of fantasy posters and other kids room ideas.

Use a canopy bed with lots of white ruffles, and sheets and comforters with angel designs or solid colors such as soft pinks, blues, and lilacs. For a kids room idea that incorporates a fairy theme, use sparkles and glitter as a border on the walls.

For accessories, try painting tables and chairs with silver glittery paint and stencil enchanting designs on desks and dressers. Hang a few sparkling wands near the windows and a sparkly colored crystal or two from the windowpanes.

For an elf theme, use wallpaper with a misty, foggy type of print, and use a print border of large mushrooms or four-leaf clovers.

Paste stencils of elves on the dresser and chairs, and hang a large rainbow sticker or banner on the wall above the bed. Your girl's room will be utterly bewitching!

Another innovative kids room idea is a theme around the sixties style of "flower power." Use bright, Day-Glo colors, such as sunny yellows, oranges, watermelon and jellybean pinks, and lime green. Use wallpaper borders with retro style ’60s style flowers.

Then pick up some of the colors from the border for accent pieces such as window seat pillows and curtains. You can even cover a wooden headboard with a flower power print fabric, and buy small items, such as an alarm clock, a wastepaper basket, and a desk set in bright Day-Glo colors.

The best kids room ideas come from collaboration between the parents and their daughter. So find a quiet time to sit down and discuss some of these themes, or mix and match them to invent your own.

I hope you find these kids room ideas to be helpful.
