Little girls and pearls go together like their rooms and shells. Little girls love to spend time in their bedroom. Not only do they sleep there they dream there, and they play there. And there's something magical about shells which is why adding a shell mirror is such a great idea.
Decorating your girl's room can be great fun for both of you. Here are 5 tips to get you headed in the right direction.
1. Listen
Think of your little girl as a mini adult with all kinds of ideas about how she would like her room to be. So stop and listen! It's her room so let her play an important role in the decorating.
Does she have a favorite character? Does she have a special place? Does she love the water? Does she have a doll collection?
2. Recycle
There will be all kinds of items already in the room that can be recycled. Give the existing furniture a coat of paint, perhaps add some new knobs. Reframe the existing posters or art work. Buy a new duvet cover for the existing duvet. If you already have a mirror in the room why not buy some good adhesive, visit the craft store pickup some shells and have fun adding the shells. What a fun project for you and your daughter.
3. Plan ahead
Remember your little girls grows up quickly and her likes and dislikes are likely to change regularly. So before choosing a décor as if she's still going to love it in a month, a year, or in five years. Plan ahead a little bit. At least with more permanent objects like carpeting. Your girls tastes are going to change I guarantee it!
4. Impact
You can add a lot of drama to a room with just a little bit of color. Splashes of color on the walls, on the bed with pillows, or with an accent rug are all ways to achieve the impact. Consider borders or window dressings that add color and character to the room.
Don't forget that lighting including your lamps can provide a great impact. Use different colored bulbs and you might even consider adding a shell shade to go with the shell mirror.
5. Budget Changes
Buy some new budget items. You can start by shopping online where there are great deals. Start with that beautiful shell mirror, perhaps a new duvet would be fun, or maybe a little wall art.
If you do nothing else add the shell mirror. It will give your little girl a thrill to see all those beautiful shells on the wall each time she looks at her pretty little face in the mirror.
Most of all have some fun with your daughter! Decorating the room should be fun for both of you and what a great way to spend some quality time together. So are you ready to start shopping for that perfect shell mirror? It's out there waiting for you and your girl!
