Design ideas For decorating a small girls room

Filed under: Decorating Tips    

For your girl to call her own, the girls room is important, so you want to be positive it has a terrific room design. But what can you do when the room is quite tiny?

The initial, and maybe most obvious, thing you will want to keep in mind is to decide on a look that not only looks great, but will make the most out of your restricted space too. A lot of clutter will make your girls room appear tiny so hold off decorating with a lot of accessories and ensure you have sufficient storage to put things away.

Try to keep your furniture in the small size range. Rather than having a full size bed, think about using a single canopy bed which will give the illusion of more space while still allowing for a cute look and good nights sleep. Yet you don’t have to stick with all small furniture and accessories in your girls room, acquiring some larger accessories will add drama and interest to the room, so go ahead and use the small bed but also add into your design a large lush canopy, it will also add atmosphere to the room.

If you work with a chosen decorating theme, then you can plan from the start on how to make best use of the girls rooms space. A modern style might be best, since this tends to accent space, rather than many items fighting to occupy the same space. Since this is the place for your little girl to dream and grow picking a design you like and can live with is smart.

Another principle piece of making your girls room appear bigger is the color palette. Reguardless of common belief, you do not have to decorate with white walls to make your room seem bigger. If you prefer bright or deep colors in your girls room you can do that without making the room appear even smaller if you choose a monochromatic color scheme, or one where the colors are the same intensity. You can use a pumpkin palette, or if you want more color consider yellow, hot pink and orange that all show an equal intensity and tone. To add depth to the room, consider painting one wall a deep color - this gives it the appearance of being further away and also adds an enjoyable style. For wall paint colors, pale hues such as blueish gray will provide an overall larger feeling as they give the appearance of the walls receding. If you would like something more colorful, cool colors such as purple, blue and green will result in the same effect.

Another trick for decorating a small girls room is to be mindful of where the pieces are expected to be in the room. Even if lots of people reject the qualities of Feng Shui, the principle behind it might still be employed when placing the accessories and furniture in your girls room. Making sure doors are clear of furniture should help make it seem sizeable. If you could, lead the eye from the open doorway to a larger piece like a big poster or canopy which can help divert the eye and provide the feeling of space.

These design ideas should help you be sucessful when decorating a small girls room. Strictly because your girls room is cozy doesn’t mean it can’t present the same top notch look you see in designer rooms - it merely takes a little creativity.
