Decorating a Girls Room Using a Bed Canopy

Imagine opening the door to your little girl's bedroom to reveal a beautiful, mystical world. Come with me on a journey to create a space that will look like like you've just walked into a story book picture.

In the world of decorating a little girls' bedroom we all want 'pretty and feminine'. The optimal color that most choose, of course, is pink. And why not? It has worked for centuries. But the new hot colors for the little girl of today is the combination of pink and brown.

The latest and greatest for the little girl room is a sheer crib or bed canopy. Not only is it the center of attention for the room but it adds an enchanting feel for your little sleeping beauty. Decorate around it with a theme such as disney's sleeping beauty or a ballerina or butterfly theme. Also have a balance of wall hangings such as ballerina slippers. Butterfly and flower decals or Disney pictures.


Another wonderful addition are shelves. Don't count out this possibility too quickly. Think about the color you can bring into the room with something as simple as a couple of shelves. Not only can the color of the shelves enhance your design but the things you put on them will also have a big impact on the theme you have chosen as well as giving you a place for those much needed items.

Either way, using a canopy for a bed or crib can be the focal point for your chosen theme and best of all, can be acquired inexpensively. Check out a 'bed canopy with glow-in-the-dark butterflies'. You'll be surprised at how little you need to spend to recreate your child's entire space by starting with an idea as small as a bed canopy and then watch your ideas grow from there!
