Redecorating Your Daughter’s Room

Last night at the dinner table your young daughter announced, “Suzy Smith is getting her room decorated and I want my room decorated too.” Mom and Dad look at each other and an unspoken agreement is reached. “OK,” Mom says, “we’ll talk about it after dinner.” And just like that, a re-decorating project is born.

As projects go, there can be no more fun project than a mother and daughter re-decorating the little girl’s bedroom. The project will require many hours of planning, take many days to accomplish, and give them many years of enjoyment. As with all decorating projects, this one must have a theme to build around. The main theme can come from something the little girl is particularly interested in, some subject or character she especially likes. It may be space or Snow White or Toy Story or horses.

She may have several “best choices” and need some help from Mom in narrowing down the options. Magazine pictures, TV programs, books can all offer suggestions to consider. At some point, through some process, a theme will be chosen. If some items are to be kept from her room’s current furnishings, the bed, for example, you might start building the theme around them. New bed coverings highlighting the chosen theme could be a starting point.

Choose items, furniture and colors that reflect the theme. A safari theme will look great with area rugs and beddings in animal prints and artworks of wild animals. A nature park theme will look realistic with colors of nature, particularly shades of green and blue. The ceiling can also be painted so it will match the area rugs and other decors.

If the bed is to be replaced, its place could be taken by a themed bed. Furniture can be ordered directly from the manufacturer to save money. The headboard could be covered in polyester batting and fabric printed with the theme or the headboard could be a bookcase for the display of gadgets and memorabilia and pictures.

If you or your daughter is quite an artist, mural painting is a wonderful idea. It will add character to the walls and thus, the room. If not and your little girls is still interested, there are artists who specialize in mural painting.

Don’t worry about your little girl outgrowing her re-decorated room-she will. Walls can be re-painted, bed coverings replaced. Another growing-up stage can be accommodated by another re-decoration. There will be time enough later to deal with that change. For now, just think of the excitement and fun you two will have planning and accomplishing this project. And picture the look of joy on your little girl’s face when she exclaims, “Mom, I love it! I absolutely LOVE it!
