One of the most popular themes among both parents as well as kids is princess rooms for girls. This can be whimsical and even sophisticated, but that doesn’t mean that you have to spend tons of money on it. Here are a few ways that you can transform everyday décor with this kind of look.

Princess Canopy Beds

One must have for this kind of space is going to be girls princess beds. This should be grand with either posts or a footboard even if it is just in a twin size. More elaborate princess canopy beds for girls can be mimicked by making a canopy yourself out of white sheer fabric which will be your least expensive option. However, there are some hazards of canopies if there is ever a fire so you want to weigh all of the safety concerns. Instead you might want to make a dramatic draping effect on one wall or even over your window. You can get canopy rings that look like crowns to really complete this effect.

Princess beds for girls can be really expensive so you might want to save on other areas of furniture. Depending on the scale of your room you might want to go with one oversized armoire. You could also try dressing up that plain white dresser with a little bit of gold paint around the edges for more of a sophisticated look. If you’re decorating a nursery you can have more fun by painting crowns or the word “princess” right on the dresser or knobs, although then it will be difficult to transition into other color palettes or themes.

Princess Nursery Ideas

Murals and wall decals have always been very popular for nurseries. This can be very intricate if you want to go with an entire story book scene, you could even have a princess in the picture that looks like your child. However, this can be more sophisticated if you just go with an oversized crown decal over the changing table. This will be your least expensive wall treatment but also the most modern way to bring this theme into your room.

You’ll also want to consider how literal you want to be with the theme. You can get Disney wallpaper borders or decals. This is a way to get Cinderella or Belle in the room. However, this can be a little bit predictable. Instead, you could just paint the room in your favorite princess colors such as yellow for Belle. Then go with elegant French style furniture that can even mimic some of the characters in the movie because of all the enchanted furniture in that film. If your kid wants the actual princess in the room then create a display space with floating shelves where she can house her doll collection.

The one disadvantage to this theme is that it’s so abundant that it’s difficult to get a unique look. Even for adults right now tiara and crown décor is very popular. We are seeing French style brown stencils on everything from pillows to artwork. You can create these crafts yourself and it allows you to use neutral colors that will tie in with wood furniture but still get this look in your room.

When you think of royalty you probably envision a lot of gold and silver. These have even become popular, albeit expensive, furniture tones. You can also decorate with a lot of crystal accessories or use old mismatched costume jewelry on pencil holders or curtain tie backs to add a bit of bling into your room. You can also find new pieces at the dollar store that are sometimes a little bit too flashy too wear but make great decorative accessories.
