How to Make Your Bedroom Look Girly

Your bedroom is your own personal universe, so it should suit you and your personality. If you’re feminine and proud to be a girly girl, then your bedroom should reflect that. Here’s how to turn your bedroom into a girly sanctuary.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Classic Girly

  1. Pink comes in a variety of shades — from hot pink to bubblegum pink — so choose a shade that reflects your personality. If you can’t decide between bright pink or muted pink, you can always mix and match.
  2. Certain pieces of furniture are must-haves for any girly girl’s bedroom. For a classic girly look, white furniture works best; it’s versatile and it complements all shades of pink. Furniture in a natural wood finish will also do. Examples of classic girly furniture include:
    • A vanity table with mirror and chair.
    • A cute dresser. Your dresser can have ornate detailing or simple, clean lines — whichever you prefer.
    • A chaise lounge, if you have the space.
  3. Select white or pink accessories that coordinate with a classic girly theme. Classic girly accessories include:
    • Frilly or ruffled bedding. A pink bedspread is an important design element for a classic girly look. A matching ruffled or frilly bed skirt and pillow shams will further accentuate a classic girly theme.
    • Throw pillows. Nothing says girly like a lot of throw pillows. Silky, cushy throw pillows in assorted shades of pink are particularly girly.
    • Rugs. Choose one large rug in a shade that goes well with your bedding. If you prefer, choose two matching rugs — one can be placed at the end of your bed, while the other can be placed under the chair of your vanity or near your bedroom door.
    • Wall hangings. Hang photos of you and your family or friends in feminine frames. Other types of wall hangings that would look great in a classic girly bedroom include sculptural pieces or posters with flower motifs.
    • Lamps. Table lamps with ruffled shades in pink hues add girly detail.
    • Curtains. Soft, pretty curtains in sheer material adds a classic girly touch.
    • Stuffed animals . Arrange them on your bed or place them on your vanity.

Sophisticated Girly

  1. Soft, pastel shades are feminine and sophisticated.
  2. Add to your bedroom's girly sophistication by choosing a light-colored dresser or vanity with feminine lines.
  3. Flower, leaves or tree wall decals are both feminine and elegant.
  4. Choose bedding featuring a fashionable pattern in a color that matches your other furnishings. Add color coordinated throw pillows for extra plushness.
  5. Stylish table lamps or hanging pendant lamps with low-wattage light bulbs will give your bedroom a feminine glow.
  6. Hang curtains in a muted color that's compatible with your bedding. For a sleek look, choose bamboo shades.

Bohemian Girly

  1. Choose paint in bold colors like turquoise, teal, orange or red. Patterned wallpaper also adds an eclectic feel.
  2. Recycled or vintage-looking furniture adds uniqueness. Some examples include:
    • A brass daybed.
    • A vintage steamer trunk for storage.
    • An old-fashioned school desk.
    • Floor lamps with patterned shades.
  3. Don't be afraid to mix patterns and colors — this applies to bedding, rugs and curtains. A patterned quilt and throw pillows in bright hues or graphic prints will add a bit of bohemian quirkiness.

    Expert Answer
    Do not focus on following trends. It's important to think about what you personally like and will feel good, since it's your house and your bedroom. Redecorating is all about what works for your space and what it's worth there. This is especially important when painting walls, since color impacts us on so many levels and it shouldn't be a decision that's taken lightly.

    I want my room to be subtly girly. How do I do that when I like everything white and modern?
    Community Answer
    White can be girly if you use lace. White ruffles and flounces are girly too. Add modern-shaped white or mother-of-pearl vases containing pale pink flowers. Hang pictures of ballerinas or kittens or whichever girly theme appeals to you.

    Community Answer
    A ceiling fan is fine. If possible, get a white one to keep with the white and pink color scheme.
