A young girl’s room is more than just a place to sleep for her,
it’s where she lives. As much as parents are fanatic about choosing the
right thing for their baby girl, even when it comes to rooms, they need
to ascertain that their daughter gets to have a say in the matter, it is
after all, her sanctity. Allowing your daughter to choose the design
of her room will not only help her in expressing her personality, it
will also assist in her developing problem solving skills in the future.
Therefore, you as a parent, need to make sure that your girl expresses
her creativity. Even more so, through this you will also be teaching her
the art of compromise for there might be a point where you decide to
put your foot down and refuse to paint a gigantic mural that she wants
on the wall.
The next step is to pick up a theme for the room. This has numerous
possibilities in it; from retro to the 60’s to astronomy to theatre.
Deciding upon a theme helps you further determine which kind of
furniture you want in the room along with the paint colour you want to
go with the theme. Deciding the kind of furniture you want to have in
the room will further help you dispose off the unwanted things from the
room and make space for the new ones that you might decide to get.
Deciding upon the paint your girl wants in her room can be an arduous
task, but not so difficult if you have a theme to gel it in with. If you
don’t want a theme, then bright pinks, reds and oranges are famous
colors amongst young girls. Then comes the task of arranging the
furniture. This includes arranging the furniture in such a way that it
gives the entire room a more spacious and airy look instead of making it
appear congested and jam-packed. Having bean bags or ottomans can make
up for a girly yet effective sitting area. Similarly, having a desk for a
study area and some book shelves on the wall will help a lot.
Another must check is the windows. You have to ascertain before making
or buying the curtains the length that your windows have. That will save
your time and will be cost effective for you too. Also, a must have for
any girl’s room is a full length mirror. No girl can function without a
good length mirror in her room.
Then comes the last bit which is decorating the room to your heart’s
desire. Go wild with ideas. Creativity is the name of the game. Be as
off the hook as you want to be with the decoration and see your room
transform into a majestic haven right in front of your very eyes. Once
you are done with all this, you are ready to let it loose in your
dream-room.
