Largely due to how many princesses there are out there, the princess theme is a very popular one for a young girl’s bedroom. And because it is such a popular theme, there are many princess-related products available, from furniture to wallpaper to murals. How little or how much is entirely up to you. Even if you’re on a limited budget, as most of us are, you can accomplish a lot with a little planning ahead and some creative thinking. Think shiny…think curvy and frilly…think pink…and you’re on your way to designing the ideal, royally approved bedroom for your own little princess.

Color Palettes

The first thing to decide is what you would like to do with the walls:

• Paint
• Paint and wallpaper
• Wallpaper
• Mural on one or all four walls

It doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. If copyrighted Disney and other movie character murals are not in your budget, select more generic murals that feature castles, sand castles, knights and medieval themes. 

If a mural doesn’t appeal to you, there are plenty of other ways to get princess approved walls. Paint one wall creating a diamond pattern using deep pink or royal blue and metallic silver paint. Paper or paint the remaining walls in a pastel rose, white or pearl gray shade. Other popular colors are sage green, turquoise and mauve. 

Princess Furniture

The ultimate princess bed has to be, hands down, the canopy bed, with a four poster bed as runner-up. Historically speaking, the canopy bed was traditionally the bed of kings, so choosing one for your little princess is totally in keeping with our royal theme. Throw in a little Cinderella into the mix and you’ve got a winning combination.

A princess must have a place to store her vast wealth and her many treasures. This delightful furniture piece has the functionality of a door chest with the charm of a traditional armoire. Clear-paneled doors have the added advantage of letting her easily see what’s stored inside, making access more convenient. Glass knobs, twist-rope molding and embossed floral accents makes this storage cupboard princess worthy.

Another place for treasures, a storage bench that provides the perfect place to sit and read or play will be a welcome addition in a princess-themed child’s bedroom.

Princess Bedding

You don’t have to just stick to princess sheets or bedding sets depicting Sleeping Beauty or Beauty from the tale of Beauty and the Beast. Select bedding in solid colors or with patterns that match the colors you have chosen for the walls. Make the bed really regal with accent pillows in different shapes and materials, especially anything type of material that is soft and satiny.

Setting the stage for your little princess to sleep, play and explore in a castle fortress that is entirely her own is easy to do with just the right amount of creativity, imagination and star dust.
