Decorating a Princess Bedroom
by Fran Sloan

Some girls want to be Princesses, so a bedroom decorated in a Princess theme is a good idea for a little girl. Most little girls watch movies like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, so they want to be a little Princess themselves. Any themed room can be made to look distinctive with suitable matching room furnishings. Here are a few ideas to decorate a little girl's bedroom into the Princess theme room.

First of all, decide on which colors you will need. Royal colors look best for this kind of bedroom. While most girls like colors such as pink and white, for this theme, royal colors like deep blue and deep mauves are best. Use white to contrast the room. It will brighten it up more.

For the bed, choose one that will be fit for a Princess. A bed with a canopy works best with this theme. Use satin covers in pink or lilac and decorate the bed with cushions in white or gold colors or even velvet red cushions. Perhaps, buy material that has gold through it and is silky and soft, so that you can cover the cushions with it or even use it to decorate the room, so it gives it a special coordination to the rest of the bedroom. Rich fabrics such as satin and velvet used throughout the room will make it look great.

For the windows, use matching silk curtains to go with the bed. Use lace as tie backs, which will look good and give the room a royal look. Use lace liberally around the room. Place it on furniture for decoration.

If you are artistic, then have white furniture in the room, such as, a dressing table for your little Princess and paint the edges with gold paint. Gold is a royal color that can help to make it all real for that special little Princess.

For the floor, use patterned gold rugs. Area rugs can be placed on either side of the bed. If there is carpet in the room already and in good condition and it is a royal color, then you can leave it there and just decorate it with area rugs. Perhaps, some fluffy circular gold rugs would be effective. If there is wood flooring, then even better.

Invest in a bookcase, table and a rocking Princess chair. Place a gold rug under the rocking Princess chair to give the whole idea an effect. This furniture can be found in toy shops, which are designed to look like royalty pieces. The royalty color is purple; so many items can be found in lavender and purple shades. Also, a luxury Princess tuffet would look effective in the room on a royal rug in either gold patterned rug or a red rug. Next to the bed there can be a cabinet with a Princess slipper lamp on it. This can be found in toy shops. Place a red area rug under this for a great effect.

On the dressing table place hearts, a crown and gold comb and brushes for beautiful Princess hair. The stool at the dressing should be a Princess royal stool, which can be purchased in toy shops. The fancier, the better, as everything designed should befit a daughter of a queen and king.

Don't be ripped off by imitations. Be sure to buy authentic rugs on the internet directly.
