Tips for a girl's room:



Stars Starlight is a great theme, and you'll find many fabrics, wallpapers, and bedding with star patterns. This theme appeals to both boys and girls, and is available in many colors both bright and pastel. Wonderful theme pieces can be the "star" in a room. You might get star-shaped rubber stamps (or sponges) and dip into wall paint to create your own starborder, decorate furniture, or make random stars all over the walls or ceiling. A star quilt or rug will complete the theme.
Moonlight
Create a wonderful, soft look with by the light of the moon. The ceiling might be midnight blue, with painted moon and stars, or use some of the stick-on glow-in-the-dark stars. Embellish a colorful painted bookshelf with crisp white stars, or liven up a plain white chest with a rainbow of star shapes. Find a moon and star quilt or fabric to use for window treatments. Then add a moon cutout headboard.
Angels, Fairies, and Elves
This universal theme will be adored by girls of any age. Angel themes could use faux painted skies and clouds, fluffy canopy beds, and soft icy pinks, blues, and lavendars. Fairy shapes are appealing with transparent wings, sparkling wands, and silvery magic dust. Try to incorporate some sparkles with glittering accents, silver paint, and magical designs.
Flower Power
Bright and bold oranges, sun yellows, lime greens, and watermelon pinks are the basis of this retro-60's look. Find colorful borders and fabrics featuring stylized simple flower shapes in hot colors, and match these with some plain fabrics for ruffles, valances, and window seat pillows. These flower shapes would be easy to enlarge on a copy machine and trace onto the walls in random patterns, then paint with wild colors matched to the fabrics.
Sunshine
Paint a mural of hills, with the sunrise peeking over the top. Use sunny yellow checked bedding and quilts, green rugs for grass, and paint the ceiling a soft sky blue. Waking up will be easy and fun using this summery look which is sure to please many a young child.

A GIRL'S STUDY BEDROOM:


A GIRL'S STUDY BEDROOM:

A girl's study bedroom can be designed with lots of innovation and creativeness.
There are so many design ideas and themes to choose from for a girl's bedroom.
One has to understand her liking and taste before designing a study bedroom which will be liked by her immensely.

Identifying the personality type
Depending on what sort of colours, animals, toys, dolls she likes-the basic choice for wall colours, wall papers, fabrics for doors and windows, cushion covers, beds and carpets are to be selected.
It is not always necessary that a girl's room has to be in pink or purple colour..there are so many colours to choose from. Ask the lady herself her favorite colour and paint the walls with that.

Different themes are there for a girls room. Some of these are:
  • Sugar and Spice
  • Ocean
  • Cottage Style
  • Color Themes
  • Butterflies, Bees, and Dragonflies
  • Cats, Dogs, and More
  • Princesses and Castles
  • Tea Party
  • Sports
  • Storybook Characters
  • French Rooms
  • Shabby Elegant
Proper choice of materials
From the floor to the ceiling and from the fabric to the furniture, everything should be washable and soft feel have to be there. Easy-care fabrics should be chosen. If the little lady is in an age of learning and scribbling on walls then either provide a dry erase board or a sweat board in her room at her height and make sure that the paint on the walls are washable.

Designer's Secret
Girl's room should be space which is really a space created as if her dreams come alive!
Design it with warmth, creativity, softness and lots of storage space. The storage space is required to store her pay items, dolls, toys as well as books, cds, pens, pencils etc. labeled storage drawers or boxes can be used for this purposes. Thus from the very beginning she will be able to learn how to organise items at proper places that too with less effort :)

Design Ideas for Girl's rooms:

Sugar and Spice Every little girl I know loves pretty colors! For a room she'll cherish, select fabrics with flowers, trellises, cute animals, or butterflies. You might stencil flowers, vines, and butterflies on walls as a colorful accent, using paint colors matched to your fabric or wallpaper choices. Don't forget soft, airy curtains for the windows.
Ocean If you live near the beach, or just wish you did, create an ocean theme using watery blues for the wall, sand colors on the floor, and clouds in the sky (ceiling). Take color cues from a beachy border wallpaper, art print, or piece of furniture like this colorful stool. You 'll almost be able to hear the waves!
Cottage Style
This is a great theme if your child will be using hand-me-down furniture for her room. Think lots of white and paint all the furniture for creating a cottage style room. Then use either light colors (pink, sky blue, pale green) or set the white off against bright clear colors like grass green or marine blue. You can also use fabric patterns such as tea-stained cotton florals, or use brighter florals, ginghams, or stripes. Find more tips on cottage style.
Color Themes
This theme is easy. Just pick the color that your little one LOVES, and go with it--everywhere. Paint the walls in her favorite color, then go for it in borders, fabrics, pillows, and accessories. Whether it is pink, purple, blue, or primary crayon colors -- your little one is sure to feel right at home in a colorful room done just for her.
Butterflies, Bees, and Dragonflies
Anyone who has purchased gifts for girls in the last few years knows that butterflies are big! If your little one loves this look, there are many ways to incorporate it into a room. A mural of garden and butterflies is a natural, or go with a butterfly fabric for the comforter. Small painted designs can be added to chair backs, picture frames, headboards, and flit around a colorful chest of drawers as well.
Cats, Dogs, and More
Cats, dogs, horses, bunnies, or other darling animals may be the perfect choice for an up-to-date girl's room. Certainly your little one has a favorite--or make it a menagerie if she can't decide. Choose from color themes in pastels, medium tones, brights, or primary colors, and use these happy designs on furniture, borders, and accessories.
Princesses and Castles
Your Princess can have a room befitting her high status if you use sheer fabrics and fanciful details. Embellish the walls with faux painted castle walls, murals, and blue skies for a truly memorable girl's room. Contrast the weighty look of faux stone walls with trails of stenciled ivy or flowers and swaths of pretty netting used as a bed canopy.
Tea Party
Pretty hats can adorn a room with a tea party theme. She can arrange her toy pals in chairs around a tea table and play til supper time. Be sure to include a pretty tea set and other tea themed accessories throughout the room. Cheerio!
Sports Young girls who avidly participate in any sport -- whether it's riding, skating, softball, swimming, or soccer -- can readily identify with this decorating theme.
Storybook Characters Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, the Little Mermaid, or Barbie might be the starting point for a wonderful theme room. Search the net for specialty character sheets and bedding, then take your color cues from there. Frame book illustrations as wall art or use cutouts of book pages for decoupage on furniture.
French Rooms
