Decorating A Princess Bedroom
Your little girl loves princess movies; Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. Now you can create a princess bedroom for her so she can always feel like the princess you know she is. With today's furniture for children the possibilities are endless. Create a scene from her favorite movie to use on her walls.
First decide what colors you will be choosing. Remember that most girls like the pink and white but if she is a princess she needs royal colors. Mix in some deep blue or mauves in her colors. White should always be used as a contrast color so the room will seem brighter than it is.
For the bed, choose one that will be fit for a Princess. A bed with a canopy works best with this theme. Use satin covers in pink or lilac and decorate the bed with cushions in white or gold colors or even velvet red cushions. Perhaps, buy material that has gold through it and is silky and soft, so that you can cover the cushions with it or even use it to decorate the room, so it gives it a special coordination to the rest of the bedroom. Rich fabrics such as satin and velvet used throughout the room will make it look great.
Windows should have silky curtains that are tied back with lace tie backs. Lace can also be used in other areas all over her room.
She will need furniture in her room, like a dressing table. Try painting it white with gold trim. Gold is a royal color and therefore fits perfectly in her room.
For the floor, use patterned gold rugs. Area rugs can be placed on either side of the bed. If there is carpet in the room already and in good condition and it is a royal color, then you can leave it there and just decorate it with area rugs. Perhaps, some fluffy circular gold rugs would be effective. If there is wood flooring, then even better.
Invest in a bookcase, table and a rocking Princess chair. Place a gold rug under the rocking Princess chair to give the whole idea an effect. This furniture can be found in toy shops, which are designed to look like royalty pieces. The royalty color is purple; so many items can be found in lavender and purple shades. Also, a luxury Princess tuffet would look effective in the room on a royal rug in either gold patterned rug or a red rug. Next to the bed there can be a cabinet with a Princess slipper lamp on it. This can be found in toy shops. Place a red area rug under this for a great effect.
To finish her dressing table you can add hearts, a gold comb and brush set, and a crown. Her princess stool should match her dresser. The fancier you can make her room look the better she will feel.
