20 Stylish Girls' Bedroom Ideas

Decorating your daughter’s first big kid bedroom presents a perfect opportunity to let her express her personality. Get her involved in the design process so her favorite colors, patterns and interests are incorporated into the space. And don’t think you’re limited to the traditional pink – we have girls’ bedroom ideas in all colors of the rainbow. Whether you’re transitioning out of the nursery or moving into a more grownup tween bedroom or teen bedroom, get inspired by these stylish girls' room decorating tips.

You don’t need a busy color palette to create a dynamic space. This girl’s room is decorated in just one color: floor-to-ceiling lilac. By using various tones and tints of lilac, the room never gets boring. And the mix of solid color versus vibrant pattern creates a lively, energizing vibe perfect for sparking creativity and play.

If you’re redesigning your little girl’s room on a budget, take a look at what furniture you already have as you might be able to upcycle instead of buying new. A simple coat of paint can give old furniture a modern, whimsical twist for a kid’s room. This floral tween space features a bold, emerald bed frame that looks great against the light, peachy-pink walls.

If you’re transitioning your toddler to a big girl room, make the change fun with a playful bed frame. Or a bed house! This adorable house-shaped bed doubles as a play area or reading nook.

Rainbows are everywhere in design right now, especially kids’ rooms. And you don’t have to buy pricey decor to get the look in your little one’s room. Jill Tenant from HGTV Handmade figured out a genius hack for creating this super-cute rainbow headboard with an unexpected item.

Instead of buying a bunch of art to decorate your kid’s room, use their own art from school! Group pieces with similar colors to make a themed gallery or take different pieces from each grade to make a timeline of their creative skills.

When you think of decorating a kid’s room, you probably don’t think of black and white as a go-to color palette, but the classic combo can work for little ones, too. This girl’s room features a mix of bold black and white patterns, from the wallpaper to the striped rug, that keep the eye moving around the space and create a whimsical, playful vibe.

How cool is this shared bedroom? Instead of lofting bunk beds, two twin beds are placed side by side to create little nooks for each kid. This is also a great example of how to compromise on color in a shared space. If your kiddos have different favorite colors, choose two bedding sets that feature each of their preferred hues, and then choose an area rug that combines both colors. In this space, one bed has blue bedding, while the other has teal. The giant area rug features a color palette of blue, teal and pink that pulls the whole palette together.

Instead of painting every wall a loud, vibrant color, make a statement wall with a fun wallpaper. The quirky butterfly print in this shared bedroom makes a stunning impact on the wall behind the two beds.

Try a statement ceiling instead of a statement wall. A kid’s room is a great place to play around with design rules, and we absolutely love the dainty paper cranes on this vaulted ceiling. And with so much pattern up top, the large, solid-colored area rug in the same blue as the print creates a sense of balance in the space.

Maximalism is the hot home design trend for the new decade, and if your little girl is digging the new style, you can easily create a maximalist kids’ room by layering patterns. This girl’s room features a bold wallpaper, art print and tons of mismatched floral bedding, but it’s not overwhelming because each pattern is part of a specific color palette of blue, peachy-pink and white. This airy color scheme keeps the room from feeling too heavy or over-the-top even though it’s packed with tons of patterns.

Who doesn’t love a good pillow fort? Make a tent a permanent fixture in your kiddo’s room for play and reading. We love the dreamy pink and white tent in this shared girls’ room. The bunting, fabric hangings and pom-pom trim on the floor pillows create a whimsical, bohemian-inspired scene that’s sure to spark the imagination.

If you’re designing a tween or teen girl’s room, you can’t go wrong with trendy tropicals. Instead of palm wallpaper, we love the use of a big triptych of palm print panels behind the bed in this teen space. And in keeping with the theme, add a houseplant for your kid to look after.

A kid’s room can look cute, but it has to be functional, too. These smart shelves incorporate a child’s books into a gallery art wall. The framed art blends seamlessly into the floating shelves of books. And the shelves are hung at a level low enough for kiddos to grab their favorite stories whenever they want.

Even if your child’s room doesn’t have a large nook for a homework desk or play area, you can still add a small hangout spot in an unused corner. A simple chair gives your little girl a place to read and imagine, and a hanging chair is great if you’re strapped for space. Just make sure to review the guidelines for weight and use the appropriate tools to secure it.

Designing a shared room can be difficult, but it’s important to make each child’s area feel like her own. These giant initials help divide the room into two separate vignettes and give each child a sense of personalization.

If your kid’s favorite color is all of them, create an eclectic space with lots of bold color. This teen bedroom has a green statement wall, bright yellow bed frame, rainbow shelf of books and more loud pops of color, but it all works together thanks to the patterned area rug that anchors the room and brings all the colors together.

Sometimes you don’t have to use color at all. This modern, minimal preschooler’s room riffs off of popular Scandinavian design with lots of light wood furniture and canvas decor.

If your kiddo and doggo are inseparable, why not create decor based on that bond? This adorable kid’s room by Brian Patrick Flynn was designed for a girl’s love of her golden retriever and includes two giant prints of the furry family member as well as a lookalike stuffed animal and shaggy, plush desk chair.

There's nothing like an in-house retreat to make a child's room more fun. This cozy tent is small enough to include in interior spaces, leaving ample space for her to sneak away into her own private hideaway.
