Classic Girly
Paint the walls pink. Pink comes in a variety of shades — from hot pink to bubblegum pink — so choose a shade that reflects your personality. If you can’t decide between bright pink or muted pink, you can always mix and match.
Get a few pieces of girly furniture. Certain pieces of furniture are must-haves for any girly girl’s bedroom. For a classic girly look, white furniture works best; it’s versatile and it complements all shades of pink. Furniture in a natural wood finish will also do. Examples of classic girly furniture include: A vanity table with mirror and chair. A cute dresser. Your dresser can have ornate detailing or simple, clean lines — whichever you prefer. A chaise lounge, if you have the space.
Decorate with girly accessories. Select white or pink accessories that coordinate with a classic girly theme. Classic girly accessories include: Frilly or ruffled bedding. A pink bedspread is an important design element for a classic girly look. A matching ruffled or frilly bed skirt and pillow shams will further accentuate a classic girly theme. Throw pillows. Nothing says girly like a lot of throw pillows. Silky, cushy throw pillows in assorted shades of pink are particularly girly. Rugs. Choose one large rug in a shade that goes well with your bedding. If you prefer, choose two matching rugs — one can be placed at the end of your bed, while the other can be placed under the chair of your vanity or near your bedroom door. Wall hangings. Hang photos of you and your family or friends in feminine frames. Other types of wall hangings that would look great in a classic girly bedroom include sculptural pieces or posters with flower motifs. Lamps. Table lamps with ruffled shades in pink hues add girly detail. Curtains. Soft, pretty curtains in sheer material adds a classic girly touch. Stuffed animals. Arrange them on your bed or place them on your vanity.
Sophisticated Girly
Paint your bedroom walls in light shades of green, blue or purple. Soft, pastel shades are feminine and sophisticated.
Select furniture in subtle colors. Add to your bedroom's girly sophistication by choosing a light-colored dresser or vanity with feminine lines.
Choose wall decorations with a girly, yet modern feel. Flower, leaves or tree wall decals are both feminine and elegant.
Pick contemporary bedding. Choose bedding featuring a fashionable pattern in a color that matches your other furnishings. Add color coordinated throw pillows for extra plushness.
Choose soft, modern lighting. Stylish table lamps or hanging pendant lamps with low-wattage light bulbs will give your bedroom a feminine glow.
Dress up your windows. Hang curtains in a muted color that's compatible with your bedding. For a sleek look, choose bamboo shades.
Bohemian Girly
Brighten your bedroom walls. Choose paint in bold colors like turquoise, teal, orange or red. Patterned wallpaper also adds an eclectic feel.
Add a bohemian touch with recycled furniture. Recycled or vintage-looking furniture adds uniqueness. Some examples include: A brass daybed. A vintage steamer trunk for storage. An old-fashioned school desk. Floor lamps with patterned shades.
Accessorize with mismatched colors and textures. Don't be afraid to mix patterns and colors — this applies to bedding, rugs and curtains. A patterned quilt and throw pillows in bright hues or graphic prints will add a bit of bohemian quirkiness.
