Decorating your daughter’s bedroom can be tricky. You want to keep it fun and youthful, but not so youthful that you feel that you need to change it completely every year or two. By choosing timeless furniture pieces and themes that can be easily updated, you can avoid having to completely redo her room multiple times as she grows up!

Every bedroom starts with some core pieces: a bed, dresser and a nightstand or two. These pieces can either be bought in a set for an overall cohesive style, or individually, which allows for some design freedom! When purchasing these core pieces, it’s important to find youth bedroom furniture that will grow with your child.

Kids’ Bedroom Furniture 411:

Tip #1: Keep it Classic

The first rule about choosing kids’ furniture is to pick neutral furniture that you can be sure your child won’t age out of. Instead of going for the pink princess bedroom set, consider girls bedroom furniture and girls bedroom sets that will easily adapt to a child’s ever-changing tastes. Getting classic, solid wood or wrought iron furniture is a great way to create a base for a girl’s bedroom. Make your picks more kid-friendly by adding bright bedding and throw pillows, which are easier and more affordable to switch out as your child’s tastes evolve.

If you really want to add some pizzazz to your sweet girl’s bedroom, consider adding a coat of paint for a pop of color and personality! This is an easy and quick way to personalize a girl’s bedroom, and one that can be easily changed as your child grows.

Tip #2: Choose a convertible bed

A bedroom’s most important aspect is right in the name; the bed. By choosing a girl’s bed that can adapt as your child grows, you can save yourself from the cost and hassle of having to buy a new bed every time a growth spurt comes around. Many furniture stores offer what is known as a “convertible crib” or a “4-in-1 crib”. These beds start as cribs and grow into a toddler bed, full size bed or a daybed, with the appropriate conversion kits (sold separately) and a new mattress.

Tip #3: Go vertical

A girl’s bedroom often doubles as somewhere to sleep and somewhere to play. Make the most out of the room you have by using the vertical space. Choose a bunk bed to maximize the space in a shared room, or choose a loft bed and create extra space for playing or storage.

Style Her Space:

Tip #1: Get graphic

Create a statement by choosing a fun wallpaper or paint color to cover one wall in your girls’ bedroom. This will give the room a fun and exciting feel, while saving you the time, energy and money that it would cost to cover all four walls! Incorporate the colors of the statement wall throughout the room in decor pieces such as rugs, lamps or pillows to create a put together girl’s bedroom!

Tip #2: Show off what you’ve got

Instead of buying expensive artwork as decor for your girl’s bedroom, showcase what you already have! Install simple shelves and display her favorite books, toys and stuffed animals. A wall of books will encourage her to read, while a cork board displaying her artwork will inspire her to pick up a pencil and draw! Plus, displaying her favorite items gives her easy access to them during playtime, doubles as storage, and brings a fun youthful aspect to the room’s decor.

Tip #3: When in doubt, white it out

Create a backdrop for creativity with simple white walls and furniture in your girl’s bedroom. Then let her decorate the room with whatever she is into using lamps, rugs, bedding and other textiles. The white furniture will stand the test of time and you can easily swap out the accessories for ones that fit her tastes. Mix and match different patterns for a fun funky feel, just be sure to stay in the same color family for a cohesive look.
