Decorating Ideas and Tips for Butterflies, Fairies, and Cottages
Sep 15, 2008
It is so much fun redecorating your tween girl's bedroom. There are a number of ways you can give your daughter a garden theme room. There are also a lot of variations. Start by painting the walls a light sky blue. Don't forget to get her input on what she wants her room to look like.
Country Cottage Theme
A country cottage theme will be filled with flowers. Find bedding with big beautiful flowers and maybe some butterflies. Get a throw rug with cottage roses on it. Get some light curtains with flowers on them.
If you can't paint very well, there are Wallies cutouts of flowers, planters, birdhouses, and more to create a decorative scene on the wall. Or you can put up a flowered wallpaper border around the room.
You can also get paint-by-number mural kits to paint a scene on one wall. If you can do decorative painting, there are wonderful stencils on the market to create some beautiful scenes. One idea would be to paint a picket fence with rows of flowers growing in front of it, and then add some tall birdhouses. Paint butterflies and birds flying in the air. You can even add a bunny or a cat to your garden. If the room is small, avoid painting a tree, as it would overwhelm the room.
Fairy Garden Theme
There are a number of adorable fairy bedding items, including sheets, comforters, quilts, and matching curtains.
- Get a fairy throw rug, which can be found online or at some major department stores.
- There are ready-made murals that you can put on the walls that go on like wallpaper.
- You can also find wallpaper cutouts that you can reposition without damaging the walls.
- Buy a fairy lamp or night light.
- Wherever you have fairies, place dried flowers to give the room a garden appearance.
Fairies are really popular right now. You can find a lot of cute decorations of fairies in most stores. Add throw pillows to the bed and little fairy figurines on flower painted shelves.
Butterfly Garden Theme
You can find some awesome butterfly sheets and comforters with matching rugs and curtains in major department stores and online. Add a butterfly lamp. Add some butterfly drawer pulls and a butterfly shaped pillow. Get wallpaper cutouts or Wallies of flowers and butterflies, and stick them all over the walls. Consider painting a grass scene around the bottom of the walls, above the baseboards to give the room a meadow appearance. If you are creative, you can also paint a pond.
Accessorize
You can really find a lot of accessories for your garden paradise. There are wastebaskets and tissue holders. There are themed tables and chairs, and lamps of all kinds. You can add garden scene posters or pictures to hang on the wall. There are some cute flower or butterfly throw pillows you can purchase, as well as hooks for the wall. You may also like flower tiebacks for the curtains and flower-ended curtain rods.
For the tween who has everything, there is even a green leaf chair to sit in. Use your imagination and bring the outdoors into your daughter's room. Even if you are not artistic, there are still a lot of ready-made items you can get to turn the bedroom into a garden paradise. You can be simple, mod, or elaborate. It is your choice.
The best is that a garden theme bedroom can last for years before changing to something different. Girls between the ages of 9 to 12 like garden themes equally, which makes your decorating ideas easier, and allows you to be more creative because you know that it will stay that way for years.
