There are millions of ideas for decorating your special little one's girls' rooms. I've decorated two girls' rooms over the years, from nursery to elementary-aged girls, so I hope these help!
I recently cleaned up my daughters' rooms and did a major decluttering push, which I do every year before the holidays. I'm a big believer in decluttering in the fall to make space for the inevitable toys and stuff that come with birthdays and Christmas.
I haven't shared much about their rooms since I shared their nurseries, which was almost 5 years ago! So much has changed, yet some things are still the same. You can see my older daughter's nursery here, my younger daughter's nursery and my inspiration for a big girl's room. (Also a look back at some prehistoric photography skills. We all start somewhere!)
I've done many DIY projects in these rooms, so I hope you find them inspiring for attainable little girls' bedroom ideas.
Turquoise & Pink Nursery Turned Gold & Pink Big Girl's Room
First up is my oldest daughter's room. She's currently 8, and I think it'll be time to overhaul her room and make it a tween room soon. But for now, there are still elements from her nursery we're clinging to.
Years ago, when we bought her daybed and trundle (a similar bed), I began shifting the color scheme from the nursery colors to pink, gold and white. But my daughter never wanted me to take down the bird canvas above her bed. So it has stayed there this whole time, along with the tissue paper pom poms in the corner.
Since I bought most of these elements a long time ago, they are no longer available. But I'll link some similar items if you'd like them for your girl's room.
The gold and white pieces I bought for her "big girl bedroom" included things like the "Hello Sweet Beautiful Girl" framed art from Hobby Lobby. It's no longer sold at Hobby Lobby, but you can still buy it from Lindsay Letters Shop.
The gold and white polka dot duvet and ballerina sheets are some of my favorite elements in the room.
I built the little bookshelves in the corner from IKEA spice racks and painted them with gold spray paint. I made the hoop art from fabric I picked up on a trip to New York City. And I made the "You are My Sunshine" art with a DIY stamp project, too!
I think we'll probably move to a full tween/teen girl's room soon, but in the meantime I'm enjoying the fact that we're still teetering between the sweet nursery look and a little girl's room.
Woodland Creature Nursery Turned Little Girl's Room
Now on to my younger daughter's bedroom. She's 4, and it still looks very much like the Woodland Creatures Nursery I created when she was born, which was one of my all-time favorite kids' rooms. I spent a lot of time planning and executing every single detail.
The only real changes now are that the rocking chair is gone and we converted her crib into a full bed frame. Oh, and I added the IKEA Kallax cube storage system in the corner for her toys, which offers plenty of storage.
I moved her dresser into her walk-in closet to make room for the toy storage. Now all of her clothes are in the closet, and I can get everything in one place without walking back and forth between her closet and her room.
Can you believe I MADE that DIY faux taxidermy head over her bed? I'm still so glad I took the time to craft it. I love it so much, even though the deer antlers have drooped a little over the years. (Those antlers are real, from a buck my husband shot before she was born.)
The bookshelves on the wall are similar to the IKEA spice racks in the other room, but these I built from boards from the hardware store. I shared the easy bookshelf ledge tutorial for building them here.
The whole room was originally inspired by the Deer & Mouse and Raccoon & Armadillo wall art prints. I still love them as much as the day I bought them! I highly recommend falling for a print or fabric and building your room around it. It makes me happy every time I walk in. You can see my whole vision board for the nursery here.
One thing I've added to both girls' rooms in recent years is these ruffled blackout curtains. They are pretty inexpensive and get the job done! I love them for helping the girls sleep later in the summer and go to bed earlier, too. I think they're a great purchase for a girl's room if you also need to block out the sun. They come in three colors and three lengths!
We're eyeing this bunk bed for them. They've decided that as they get older, they'd rather share one bedroom and use the other as a playroom. We'll see how that goes! Maybe Santa will bring them a bunk bed this year.
I hope you've enjoyed this update on my girls' rooms and that you find some new room decor ideas for the girls in your life!
