A girl's bedroom is her sanctuary from the outside world as she grows up. Whether she's a pink-loving princess or a more into dark colours and drama, when it comes to girls bedroom ideas there is no set stereotypical direction to take.
The key is to introduce flexible and accessible storage, colourful accents, and one or two striking features as focal points, for a look that can evolve as your little girl grows up.
In any children's room idea you need to create a flexible space, accommodating their changing needs from babyhood through to teenage years. So it makes sense to ensure that big-ticket items such as beds, wardrobes and chests of drawers will stand the test of time.
Then, add colour, pattern and magical touches through fabric, lighting, artwork and quirky accessories.

Pink is probably the primary choice when it comes to most girls bedroom colour schemes. So, add a little originality to the look by teaming the sugary shade with gentle pastels for a less sickly look.

Little girls change their tastes as they grow into their tweens, so an easily adaptable backdrop will futureproof your scheme as a teenage girls bedroom idea.

4. Focus on a fun bed

Girls come with a lot of stuff, so fitting as much children's room storage into the space as you can is essential. Build shelves in alcoves with flat, sliding doors to conceal what lurks behind.
Shelves behind the bed double as a bedside table and provide room for books and shoes. If it's time for a new bed, buy a divan with storage drawers under it.
16. Accessorise without blowing the budget

If looking for girls bedroom ideas on a budget, go for inexpensive accessories that you won't mind giving to charity shops when she wants a new theme for the room. Keep the look classy by sticking to a simple colour palette, such as greys and blush pinks, so the room exudes city chic, not tourist tat.
17. Add a roll-out bed for sleepovers

If space is an issue, a bed with drawers underneath works really well as you can never have enough storage in a child's bedroom. Alternatively, one that incorporates a pull-out bed underneath is ideal for sleepovers. If space is tight, try adding mirrors above a desk to give the illusion of more space.
18. Stimulate their senses

Imaginative play can help bring a sense of fun and fantasy to a children's bedroom. Keep some role-play toys, such as mini kitchens and shops, within reach, so children can spontaneously decide when to use them.
How do I decorate a girls bedroom on a budget?
The first element to think about is the walls. 'Keep them pared back or age-neutral so the backdrop can remain as a girls' bedroom scheme changes as they grow through themes and interests,' says Rachel Homer, interiors writer and mum of two. 'When it comes to furniture invest in a set that will again last them into their teens or update pre-loved furniture in their favourite colours.'
How do I create character in a girls bedroom?
As it is their room ask them to get involved. Start an ideas board on Pinterest (or ask them to show you how). That way you can teach them how certain colours and themes work together. Personalise the space with their own photos and framed artwork.
Look for interesting alternatives that will create a feature such as a striking bed or window treatment idea. Chrissie Harper, Customer Experience Manager at California Shutters explains, 'Brightly coloured shutters make a great alternative to a feature wall, and a vibrant shade can bring a playful touch perfect for children's bedrooms.'
'Bold statement colours such as yellow, blue, orange and pink are ideal for creating a focal point. Use a matching paint colour on the surrounding walls or add a statement wallpaper to make a real impact.'

As well as usual storage such as shelves and furniture, make organising exciting by making fun labels with them for storage bins. Decorate and display pretty sweet or candy jars on open shelves to hold little 'nick-nacks' and accessories.
Another fun girls bedroom idea is to make belongings part of the decor, for instance, hats and jewellery will look decorative hung in a line on peg rails. Lastly, make storage easily accessible so your child can easily clean up on their own when asked.
