Keep the decals! Cuz I like them LOL. I like the photo with the purple bedding and the pink rug. These are much richer and much easier to change out than painting the whole room, and she probably will want to change some things out as time goes by. This way, too, it will still be her familiar old room, yet it will be a big girl room. (Kinda makes you happy, kinda makes you want to cry doesn't it!)

posting to bump this. For some reason there was a delay in when I posted this and when it actually showed up in discussion boards. Houzz seems quite buggy.

Hi dorky- How nice that you want to redo your daughter's room. That wallpaper is just dreamy. I am not sure what you mean when you say you want it to look like a "hotel room." Does that mean everything neat and uncluttered? Or are you referring to a particular style of decor? I think a day bed works very well in a child's room, especially for girls. They like to sit and chat for ages, do each other's hair, etc. I like the ones with straight backs, not the curved backs, The stright backs support the cushions you can have made up as I describe below. You can have two very large firm cushions made that span the length of the bed and go up 16-18 ", your preference and have them made out of quite dense foam wrapped in batting. No down needed here, and the children should not be able to feel the rails behind them. Have removable washable zip on covers made for them (at least two sets) and write in the contract with the upholsterer that you get to keep the pattern and/or the muslim pattern prototype. (Now your daughter is gentle floral. In 5 years she may be animal patterns, and 5 years after that she may be into goth!) You can also have ties made to tie the cushions on to the rails so they don't slip and slip. Velcro works, but after a while, it gets weird in the wash. Since girls often have sleep-overs, a trundle day-bed is a great idea, and the top mattress can be a full size and the bottom one can be a twin. See if you can find one where the lower one pops up to the same level as the upper one, it is so much nicer. Rather than the cheapo furniture that is sold nowadays, why not go to a Goodwill or similar store and purchase a well-made solid wood triple dresser and nightstand and paint them. You can paint the same color you paint the walls that don't have the wallpaper. If you want you can add an accent stripe in whatever color you want from the wallpaper. If you ask in the smaller lumberyards and hardware stores you can often find men that do these sorts of projects. I would get a really good closet system, one that will grow with her. What I mean by "grow with her" is one that is adjustable, that you can adjust the height of the various elements, etc without paying someone else a fortune to do so, that you can use your own tools, not the package's special;y sized wrench or whatever you 3 years later goodness knows where you stashed it. Also, you want a reputable brand or company that will stay in business so that if you want to add on and buy more parts, they will still be in business. The cheapo one at a dollar store or discount store may look just as good now, but later, it will be useless. You can build in a desk under the window, to be used for both crafts and schoolwork. You can use a formica laminate that you get from IKEA or someplace like Home Depot or wood. That can be attached to the wall and the height changed as she grows. You can get a set of drawers for one side for craft supplies and a two-drawer file cabinet for her papers and files. As others have mentioned, a bookshelf is important, but maybe only one book shelf. Children don't use that many school books anymore, many of their school "books" are on- line. At this time, since she may not have that many books, you can use the book shelves to store her toys and games and dolls. If you can't afford to buy a bookshelf, don't worry, you can use a thick wooden board and cinderblocks, and it will more than do the job, and it will be much sturdier than any particle board shelving unit from IKEA! And you can always paint the wooden shelf, even the cinderblock if you want. Just like brushing teeth, now is the time to inculcate good habits like orderliness. Children can't put things away if they don't know where they are supposed to go. Those TV shows that show a row of baskets or opaque bins are the most stupid things ever if one expects a pre-literate child to clean up after him/herself. First go through all your daughter's possessions, & keep, donate, or discard. If donation centers are not taking donations due to COVID, don't wait for COVID to be over, just trash it. The way I got my daughter to part with things was two pronged: 1. Indoor space is finite, she can't get more until she gets rid of a significant amount of what she has 2. As much as I love her chefs-d’œuvre, I can't possible keep every piece of paper she has touched with a pen, pencil or brush. I purchased a big portfolio and once a year she went throught her things and selected the things she wanted me to keep for her. 3. Her books were really piling up and she inherited the book-hoarding gene. This tactic worked- "Think of all the poor children who can't afford to buy books..." And we did donate them. Purchase transparent plastic containers for your daughter's possessions of a size that will separate things by type. e.g. dolls together, building blocks together, each type in it's own baggie, etc. Then, if you prefer opaque containers, you can put the transparent containers in the opaque containers and label the opaque containers with what is inside, either with words if your daughter can read well, or with photographs. I felt that was too many extra steps. I just used transparent plastic and labels. Don't stack too much, use those wire shelves that they sell for the kitchen to separate stacks of plates, otherwise when your daughter reaches for one thing, everything will come tumbling down. If you are going to have a television in her room, it can be wall-mounted on a mount that is adjustable so that the TV can be turned and raised or lowered so she can see the TV from her bed or her desk or even the floor. (Oh, the days when it was comfortable to sit on the floor!) Use vertical space as much as possible. For example, you can have a shelf over the window and have decorative boxes there. Either buy pretty floral hatboxes and rectangular boxes, etc or buy plain ones and you and she can cover them with gift paper you buy yourselves. Way up there is a great place for things you or she don't use that often, like the fancy hats for holidays, certain types of craft supplies, maybe clothes that are too big for her that she has received as gifts or hand-me-downs. You might want to use ModPodge on top of the wrapping paper surface if you DIY. If you put clothes in those boxes make sure they are clean and dry and tuck in several silica gel dessicant packets. Don't use flour-water paste, that will attract bugs. You can even gussy the boxes up with brass corners , handles and label holders.
