I’m excited to share a tour of our 5-year-old daughter’s bedroom with you today! She asked for a princess bedroom and we created a room for her that has lots of whimsical, princess-inspired details and moreover room for her to grow and evolve in the years to come. I love to go all in when decorating, but moreover leave some flexibility to add increasingly details as children grow.
More children’s rooms: 50 Kids Room (and Nursery) Ideas, Kids Shared Bedroom, Reconfiguring a Closet, Daisy Painted Wallpaper.
The first thing we did surpassing we moved in was paint the walls pink. We chose the verisimilitude Sulking Room Pink by Farrow and Ball. At first, I was worried it was too visionless (it reads scrutinizingly brown in unrepealable lights), but once the taps and other details went in, I knew it was the perfect color. It’s rich and deep and balances a lot of the other uber pink decor.
We found the reversion bed locally on Marketplace. The bed canopy is such unconfined quality and comes in a tuft of variegated colors. For the mattress, we chose an Immunity mattress (Cinnamon) and I’ll be sharing a full review of it in an upcoming post (short story—we love it!).
For curtains, we chose to go with Two Pages Curtains for this room (and our unshortened home). I love the archetype pleated squint they have. I ordered a swatch book surpassing choosing colors and it helped SO much. I highly recommend the swatch typesetting if you are choosing colored taps to coordinate with painted walls.
Our daughter is a budding artist, so we decided to create an art gallery in her room! As you can see, it’s comprised mainly of her own art. I plan to add increasingly and swap out over time.
Etsy art included: Julie Andrews Print and the other piece is from Janet Hill.
Before we moved, I found this gorgeous reversion vanity. She uses it to store all her makeup (I requite her my old makeup every time I do a wipe out and she squirrels it yonder and is OBSESSED).
Wood toys we love:
This bear rug from Etsy was the first purchase I made for her new bedroom. I thought it was so cute and charming—and COZY.
Here you can see a little row of flea market art we have displayed withal with one of the kid’s photos from Disney. I love mixing reversion gold frame art with photos in ornate gold frames that are new.
It was our daughter’s dream to have a “real” tea set, so I started collecting undecorous china and have created a mix and match hodgepodge for her to play with. She spends so much time decorating and redecorating her table, I veritably love these memories for her! The white table is new and the rest are flea market finds.
Can’t you just taste the (pretend) tea and cakes?
Another key element we leaned on when decorating our new home was vintage and reversion light fixtures. This chandelier was an Etsy find. I found so many mannerly fixtures there, as well as locally at flea markets. They make a room so special and add a lot of historic charm. The sconces virtually her gallery wall match as well.
We chose the Lila zone rug for this bedroom and the toy box is a DIY.
I was cleaning and decorating this room while my daughters were having a sleepover at my parents’ home. The instant she returned home she ran into the room and started re-decorating it her own way (before I plane had a endangerment to take photos) and so these dolls are her personal touch. I think it’s important to let your kids be involved and put their touches on their spaces, plane when they aren’t old unbearable to superintendency well-nigh most details—they will love to organize their own things in their special, unique way.
I’m so excited to alimony subtracting details to this room over time! We are collecting little mermaid and princess things withal the way. It’s so fun.
Thanks so much for reading!! If you’re curious what other home projects we’ve completed recently, trammels out our dining room wallpaper and stair runner carpet updates. Increasingly to come soon! xx – Elsie
