Q&A for How to Make Your Bedroom Look Girly

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.

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.

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

Add mirrors; it will help your room look bigger. Don't add too much decoration.

If you are not allowed to paint, ask your parents if you can put up some wallpaper or posters in your bedroom.

Yes, and there are many resources for this online and at your local library. This will save you a good deal of money, and add a unique touch to your room.

You can string fairy lights around the bunk bed to make it more cozy. And you can get girly sheets, pillows and blankets for the bed itself, and maybe a pastel-colored beanbag chair nearby if you've got room for it.

You can add accents to your room. This includes throw pillows/blankets, little trinkets that complement the wall color. You could also hang pictures or paintings. Having white walls gives you a good amount of freedom with the accents.

You could add some trinkets on it that are girly, or paint it a different color. You can put some girly books on it and add cute pictures in frames on it.

Try painting the walls white if they not already white, or paint them a mature color for example: gray, navy or any other color that you like. If you can, get permission to change your furniture if it's girly, you can get furniture on a budget at a good yard sale. If you have any girly accessories in your room remove them and replace it with something else, for example replace girly throw pillows with teenage throw pillows which are not girly and more mature.

Places like JoAnn Fabrics often have sales on fabrics and pre-formed bows (small to large and oversized). You could buy fabric and drape it down the sides of the bookshelf, and across the top. You would need to measure the width on one side [x3 - two for sides and one across the top] and the length [sides x2 and top]. You could accent with some small bows. Use thumbtacks, or you could simply fold the fabric and place a few heavier items at the top, and for the sides tuck the excess fabric neatly behind the bookshelf against the wall. Check for an electrical outlet before using this method! Note that fabric is folded in half when sold; tell the clerk if you intend to use it folded.

Make a divider through your room if it is big enough. Get bunk beds. Bring in cute plants and wall decor and stuffed animals.

Shop thrift stores. Look for a nice corkboard, pillows and signs. Go exploring around your house. Peek into the basement, your parents' closet, or wherever all your junk is stored. To make your room look older, add some more essential things to your room -- a rug, nice posters, a mirror, and some sort of cute lighting.

If you have space, you could add a rug and maybe a few fake plants. Also, don't be shy about hanging things on the walls. Cute pictures on fairy lights are beautiful.
