Despite being decades old, the allure of the Disney Princess films–Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid, to name just a few–continues to captivate little girls all over the world. With a fairytale-themed bedroom, you can give your child a chance to live out her “once upon a time” dreams–and it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, either. Here are a few nifty ideas you can incorporate into your daughter’s personal space and transform it into a place that’s truly magical:
Use whimsical wallpaper
Stick-on wallpaper murals have been a boon for any homeowner who’s into DIY. The offerings on Pixlscapes are easy to install, a breeze to remove, and come in a wide variety of vibrant colors and playful patterns.
You can easily put together an accent wall that doubles as a mural with stick-on wallpaper murals. For a fairytale-themed bedroom, you may want to consider a tranquil landscape that will bring a wooded forest to mind, just like the one that Belle goes through when she goes in search of her father in Beauty and the Beast. For fans of The Little Mermaid, this beautiful view of the sun peeking out of the ocean is an excellent choice. Little girls who love animals will have fun playing pretend princess in a bedroom with this watercolor mural of beloved woodland animals.
You can also use stick-on wallpaper to create a majestic headboard for your little girl’s bed. A sweet floral background will make her feel like she’s sleeping in a garden of blooms.
Pump up the pastels
Most Disney princesses are associated with pastel colors: Cinderella and Queen Elsa from Frozen share a shimmering ice blue; Princess Aurora, the Sleeping Beauty, wears a lovely pink; Tiana from The Princess and the Frog is most often shown in a pale green and petal-yellow gown.
Using the colors associated with your daughter’s favorite princess is one of the easiest ways to emphasize your chosen theme. You can easily look up the exact colors that the princess wears online–you can then take the hex code or color name to a big box store and have them mix the paint up for you.
Leaning into those same colors for furniture and bedding creates a sense of cohesion. If you feel unsure about overusing a single color, though, you can put together a color scheme using free tools online. With a color palette, you can easily add complementary colors and accent colors to keep the room from looking monochromatic.
Create a cozy atmosphere with curtains
Few things say “a princess sleeps here” more than a luxurious canopy bed. The curtains add elegance and a sense of mystery; they can turn any bed into a veritable centerpiece.
If buying a canopy or four-poster bed is out of the question, you can still emulate the effect with a few DIY tricks. Hanging curtain rods or self-adhesive hooks for the fabric are viable options; you can also find standalone princess canopies online that can be hung from the ceiling with a single hook attachment. Choose voile or gauze for a light and wispy feel.
