For little girls, creating a beautiful and stylish room is essential. Your little girl will want their bedroom to reflect their personality and be both fashionable and functional. Using colour in your little one’s room can be an excellent way to add interest and create a more inviting space. Different colours can also have a big impact on your child’s mood, which we’ll discuss in more detail below. The good news is that there are heaps of creative ways to add a splash of colour to your little girls’ bedroom. To inspire you, here are some tips to help you design a room full of colour for your little girl.
Repaint the walls
Repainting the walls is likely to be the first thing that springs to mind when thinking of ways to liven up your little girl’s room. Changing the wall colour can have a dramatic impact on the visual appeal and feel of the room. A fresh coat of paint can also conceal cosmetic damage, i.e., scruffs and chipped paint, and give the room a cleaner and more modern appearance. Think carefully about what shade you choose. It’s a good idea to get your little girl involved in the colour palette, but try to steer them towards more neutral shades.
For instance, if your little girl wants fuchsia pink, try to agree on a less striking shade such as pastel pink or blush. Painting the walls is a relatively straightforward job, but you don’t want to have to do it again in a year when your daughter decides she no longer wants a Barbie pink bedroom! Here are some of the key ways that colours affect your child’s mood. Hopefully, this helps you pick the best shade for your little girl’s room.
- Red - Red is an extremely stimulating colour that can increase blood pressure, heart rate and appetite. Not ideal when you want your child to have a peaceful night’s sleep!
- Pink - Pink is a feminine colour that can have a calming effect.
- Yellow - Yellow is an upbeat colour that can boost concentration and memory.
- Purple - Purple has been shown to promote creativity and passion.
Get creative with wall art
If you’re not in the mood for a DIY paint project, then you can still add interest and colour to your little girl’s bedroom with wall art. Removable wallpaper is a quick and simple way to freshen up your child’s bedroom design. According to bbwallpaper.co.uk: “You can install removable wallpaper and then remove it without damaging the wall.” Plus, you don’t need any special adhesive to use it. This makes it a great option for your child’s room, particularly when their tastes are likely to change as they get older.
Add vibrant accessories
Adding vibrant accessories is the easiest way to add colour to your little girl’s bedroom, especially if you’ve decided to keep the walls in a neutral shade. Colourful accessories like throws and decorative cushions can instantly brighten up your little girl’s room and add a personal touch. Adding a large rug can also inject colour into your little girl’s room without the cost and effort of replacing the flooring. Accessories are the perfect way to experiment with bold new colours and they can easily be replaced if your little girl decides that she wants to update the colour theme.
Choose colourful bedding
Replacing your little girl’s bed linen can instantly transform their bedroom and add colour and interest to the room. Floral patterns are popular with little girls, or you could let them choose a duvet set featuring their favourite fictional character, i.e., a Disney princess. The best part is that duvet sets tend to be extremely affordable, meaning you can easily update them as your little girl gets older and wants a more grown-up bedroom. You can also add a splash of colour to your little girl’s room with colourful bedroom furniture. Check out our stunning collection of pink beds – perfect for your little princess!
