Unusual decorative elements
You can add a touch of originality to your children's bedroom by adding a couple of non-standard elements to it.
A canopy over a girl’s bed is a theme that has been played out a thousand times, which is present in many beautiful pictures from the Internet. However, in life such luxury is, unfortunately, quite rare. Therefore, your daughter’s friends will definitely be jealous.
A carpet with an applique does not oblige you to anything and is appropriate in any room style, but it decorates and interestingly plays up even the most trivial situation.
A hanging swing on a chain is every girl’s dream and a charming addition to the bedroom, bringing the coziness of a country house to it. They will not only serve as a place for games and relaxation, but will also become the “highlight” of the interior.
During the day, the room should be filled with natural light
A canopy over the bed will be an excellent addition to the interior of a children's room.
Photo wallpaper is not only an effective and universal solution, but also practical. Compared to their paper competitors, they are more durable and can be easily cleaned when wet. It’s very convenient that you can now order photo wallpapers with absolutely any design, be it a gorgeous landscape or a photo of your beloved dog.
A fireplace is an interior item worthy of kings and aristocrats. However, even they would be pleasantly surprised by the convenience and beauty of modern models. For a child’s room, it is better to opt for safe electric and bio-fireplaces. You can also install a decorative false fireplace, which is easy to create with your own hands.
Proper layout, decoration, lighting and selection of furniture are, of course, important. However, the main rule for creating the ideal design of a children's room is not to exclude the owner of the bedroom from the renovation. Try to involve the girl in the development of the project as much as possible, consult with her, listen to her opinion, do not reject the child’s bold ideas, and then the interior of the girl’s bedroom will be doomed to success.
Finish options
For a children's room, it is better to decorate the walls and ceiling with light blue-violet, lilac, lavender shades, and choose furniture and some textiles in more saturated colors. At the same time, the walls must stand out against the background of the floor and ceiling, otherwise all surfaces will merge and the design will be monotonous and boring.
Prefer lavender walls and brown or light floors to a white ceiling. For lilac ceiling decoration, choose lighter ones: yellow, beige, gray, cream wallpaper on the walls, etc.
Combine lilac and light green on the wall in the children's room, cover the ceiling with white, cover the floor with beige laminate, and place a light green carpet on top. You can also do this with any other companion color - blue, yellow, pink.
Polka dots are tradition and coquetry.
Dark shades of the room are suitable for lovers of everything extraordinary and mysterious. You can dilute the interior with bright accents.
The Venetian trend is suitable for a bedroom with a romantic and light nature.
A snow-white room is the epitome of style and elegance. Bright details can dilute the whiteness.
Furniture and decor
To enliven the interior of a children's room, sometimes just a couple of bright decorative elements are enough. For example, hang curtains in rich purple, even black-violet, and choose a similar bright carpet, bedspreads and pillows. However, then it is better to make the walls, floors and furniture light: beige, gray, white.
Decorative design can act as a bright accent. In a pastel-colored children's room, purple frames of mirrors and paintings, figurines, toys, a carpet, and rich tones will be striking. Paper pendants, luminous garlands, and unusual night lights look unusual.
If the set is purchased purple, the dark decor will be lost against its background. In this case, textiles and cladding should be preferred lilac, white, yellow, gray.
A combination of several colors in furniture looks original and unusual. Blue-lilac, white-violet, eggplant-gray solutions. Then all the fabric, furniture, ceiling, floor and walls can also be combined.
For example, on a lilac ceiling they make an insert from a gray tension structure, one of the walls, or part of it, is highlighted with a different shade. The design of the cabinet can be purple, with white fittings, and the sofa, on the contrary, creamy white, with purple inserts. Several pillows are placed on top - lilac, white, lilac-white.
Choosing a tone for decorating a children's room
- Light shade. Light furniture in combination with light walls will give the room a special light, almost airy atmosphere. This combination is suitable for romantic natures and very young children.
- Dark shades. Dark shades are suitable for more active, lively children. Paint the walls a rich purple color, choose light laminate flooring and light furniture. Such a bright room will be truly cozy, and bright accessories will add even more life to it.
- A combination of light and dark tones. Zoning of space is very popular today. Paint one wall a bright purple, but leave the rest of the walls a neutral shade. Add a picture or pattern to a bright wall and it will immediately attract the eye.
- Neutral color combined with purple. If renovation is not yet part of your plans, or you are afraid of experiments, but your child persistently demands a purple room, try this option. Place a purple bedspread on the bed, hang matching curtains, a bright rug for added contrast, and keep the walls neutral.
Design ideas
When selecting materials for decorating a children's room, remember that you should not use more than three colors in one room, and for small rooms it is better to prefer light tones that visually expand the space. Some interesting tips:
- On a white plasterboard ceiling, you can make several lilac tension structures - round or square.
- Combine several applications - on a purple wall, apply a pattern of white light, on a snow-white headboard, on the contrary, apply a lilac pattern of similar content. These could be butterflies, birds, flower arrangements.
- In combination with white and lilac furniture, choose green textiles and wallpaper with white and green stripes.
Styles in the design of a teenage girl's room
Stylish room for a girl
If you look into some online encyclopedia of interior design styles, you can easily get lost for a week or two, mired in the diversity and distinctive features of each direction. Therefore, it is advisable to first talk with the girl, finding out her taste preferences, favorite shades and other preferences. It is quite possible that while parents are racking their brains over a style decision, the daughter has long known exactly what she wants. Well, starting from certain parameters in the form of color or decorative elements is easier than starting the design of a room for a teenage girl from scratch.
Color combinations
Purple color harmonizes perfectly with almost all shades of the color scheme. If a monochromatic design seems boring to you, choose one of the successful combinations:
- Purple-white. If the children's room is small, the white content should be greater (in a ratio of 1:2). The tandem of two tones creates a calm, serene atmosphere. Purple against a snow-white background bursts with its aristocratic nobility, depth and richness.
- Lilac-white. The color of lavender or lilac blossoms conveys lightness, freshness and, paired with the color of whipped cream, gives a feeling of peace. Such a bedroom is suitable for a sensitive, gentle and creative girl; it will reveal her talents and desire to complete tasks efficiently and to the end.
- Purple-green. Green is the color of calm and tranquility, which has a beneficial effect on the psyche. It adds freshness and brightness to muted, dark purple. This combination in a nursery will be successful for both girls and boys.
- Purple and blue is one of the best combinations. Marshmallow shades are popular for both sexes of children and are even more relevant if a boy and a girl live in the same children’s room. Divide the room into two equal parts: two walls are purple, two are blue. Do the same with bedspreads, curtains, pillows and rugs, and you will get a combination that is pleasing to the eye. Blue goes well with both dark and light lilac.
- Violet-yellow. Yellow is a cheerful, sunny, bright, rich tone that uplifts the mood and creates contrast. It is ideal for children's rooms located on the north side. He will encourage phlegmatic, calm children to be mentally and physically active, and stimulate positivity and optimism in pessimists. Thanks to lemon, dark purple will not look boring and gloomy.
- Purple-gray. Gray is a great alternative to white if the bedroom is intended for a boy. For children under 12 years of age, it is recommended to use light, ivory shades of gray; for teenagers, a combination with darker tones of the gray palette is allowed. The combination promotes learning, calmness, develops masculinity and confidence.
- Pink-lilac is a gentle, romantic, light combination for little girls. The main thing is not to overdo it with shades and not make the interior sickly sweet. If a rich pink is chosen, then it should be complemented with a pastel, dim lilac.
Furniture in lilac color
What kind of furniture does a girl need for a comfortable life? Bed, wardrobe, workplace with a table, chair or armchair. If space allows, you can add a small sofa and chest of drawers.
We advise buying items that contrast with the main background of the room. Thus, lilac-colored furniture will organically fit into a neutral environment (beige, white or gray shades). It will not necessarily be in the same range. Combinations are welcome, but they must be organic and well thought out.
A child’s tastes change very quickly, so keep in mind that the furniture will be altered (painted, replaced facades or upholstery). This will allow you to save significant financial resources in the future.
If there is a lilac bed in the girl’s room, then the bedspread should be chosen in pastel colors with delicate patterns. The color of the pillows can play in all shades, which will add color to the room.
Be sure to organize a storage system. She will help to place all the outfits of the little fashionista, as well as arrange all her toys and items for creativity and study. Why exactly will the cabinet be lilac? Because this large piece of furniture always attracts attention.
Decorating it is a responsible matter! There can be as many variations of execution as you like. For example, a plain background with a simple pattern or doors painted in a checkerboard pattern. By the way, fittings play a big role. Let it correspond to the general style. And also, don’t forget about the mirror! After all, this is a girl's room!
Organize a comfortable workplace where everything is ergonomic and convenient. Choose models with height adjustment. After all, children grow up quickly.
Today, two-tier designs for children's rooms are very common. There is usually a bed on top, and a place for studying or playing below. This solution is very practical and does not take up much space.
