Girl's Bedroom Design: Tips for Playful and Tasteful Spaces

Are you struggling with designing your daughter's room? Girl's (and boys) rooms can be quite a challenge. You want the space to feel fun, vibrant, and stimulating but you don't want to end up with a themey room that will be outgrown in a year.
One way to avoid this is to mix in more sophisticated furniture with kid's pieces. Think beyond pale pinks and florals -- experiment with mixing bolder colors and patterns. Have fun with the design, but always remember: Restraint is a virtue!

Keep it simple. Wall stencils or murals can work, with a restrained eye. This tree is a perfect dose of whimsy.
I love this room! The aqua tones work so well with the pops of pink and graphic red drapes.
Mix it up! An eclectic mix of brightly colored vintage pieces create a fun bedroom with lots of character.
Think pink -- just in more saturated hues. Pops of black and green keep it classy.
White is a girl's best friend. When in doubt, mix white and ivory with muted tones to create a chic, feminine space.
Pink, florals, and green stripes are a fun combo.
