Creating a bedroom for a ten-year-old girl can be a challenge, especially if you want to ignore the trends and make a room that is going to be suitable for at least the next couple of years as she transitions from a child into a teenage girl.
We hope you gain some inspiration and relevant ideas for your daughter's bedroom in the article as we focus on contemporary designs and something a little more princess-like where you can learn:
Let's get into it.
Well, first you should take some ideas from your daughter and assess her personality. She will not appreciate pink fluffy pillows if she prefers listening to hard rock music to watching the princess diaries.
Be bold with your design and use bold colors and accent walls. Accent walls are great, if you get it wrong you only need to repaint 1 wall!
Young girl's bedrooms are normally not spacious so be careful not to fill the room full of clutter.
Use rugs to introduce color and patterns.
While keeping an eye on the future as your daughter grows into a teenager with completely polar opposite ideas to the parents, start by keeping the room neutral. Why neutral? Because it's easier to accessorize with voiles and fabrics that are warming.
