Oysterpots, that looks amazing

I just re-did DS's room - off-white walls, Trofast storage from IKEA, vintage wallpaper elephant and giraffe wall mural things.

Pics here if anyone's interested

I like quite plain designs, so went for just gingham bedding with matching curtains for my boys - but also available in all the girly colours......pink, lilac, yellow etc. Should last a few years with luck.

dd1 has pale pink walls with a rainbow/tree theme bedding/curtains/rugs from next also got a huge wall sticker and clouds that is on the wall next to her bed, she has a pink bed and cream blackout blind

dd2 room is lilac and has butterfly stickers around the middle, butterfly curtains and bedding (again from next) she has pink blackout blind and magenta pink carpet and I have pinned some butterflies on thin wire from her ceiling. She has a box small room so have taken her wardrobe doors and attached lilac netting (with pink butterflies) over the front so I can fit her furniture in better

I'm afraid I have boys rather than girls but helped my sister with her daughter's bedroom.... plain off white walls, pink gingham bedding, matching pink gingham curtains, sweet little pictures from suzie watson, a few butterflies on the wall, looks a treat! Very, very sweet.

I'm about to re-do my daughter's bedroom. I'm going for white furniture and probably, sky blue walls. Will jazz up the walls with stickers. What I am now looking for is storage and bookcases.

Hi GooseyLoosey. I've now got the other bookcases and posted the photos here. My boys love them and feel really special...I just hope they keep their rooms tidy now!!

I only have the spot stickers on one wall btw - think your eyes would go funny if they were all over!!

I have gone for white too, with multicoloured spots - blind from John Lewis, Lazzari storage from GLTC and Sweet 16 wall stickers from here = they also have lots of other great designs. White Company has lovely bed linen.

Hi GooseyLoosey. Did you get that bookcase yet? I had a set delivered last week, and if you want to see them look at this page. I've had great ideas and tips from here before, and watch just about anything to do with makeover programmes on tv and just wanted to share my joy with everyone else!
I've now ordered the other 2 bookcases and will soon be posting those photos up on their site!

We used this range of wall stickers in dd's bedroom and she loves them:
"funky flowers"
She has a green carpet and the bottom half of her walls are painted green in a wavy-hill effect and the top of her walls and ceiling are painted pale blue to make grass and sky.

Thanks Tivvy - will do. Ds's name has 4 letters in it and it would look fab in his room.

Goosey Loosey. Depends on what you want the shelves to say..I know someone who got a 6-letter bookcase for just a bit more than the price of a 5-letter one!!! Let me know how you get on!!

Put a drape over her bed - both my DD's love it as its like a princesses bed. If there's room have a pile of large cushions for a chill out reading area. (you could hang the drape over this area instead ofthe bed) - my DD1 has this and it feels really morrocan, but her friends think its really cool.

Here's one:

I have recently decorated DD1 bedroom (she is 6yrs old) and painted it a Dulux 'hints' colour which is very pale blue. I then added the 'cupcake' range from next and it looks gorgoeus. Am now thinking about doing DD2 (3 soon) and again I would do a very pale pink maybe with some nice bedding and curtains. I personally dont like stickers, had them before but I thought it made the room look messy, but thats just me! I like a clean, naked room!

Tivvy - will I? I deffinitely, I will!

The sezitall shelves are great. Ikea type quality & the kids love having their name on them. They may even tidy their room in years to come!!

My nephew has one of those bookshelves and it really looks good in his room. It's white with his name spelt up the side. It's good quality (better than the usual flatpack). My kids are just getting ready to go to university, otherwise I'd definitely have bought them one. My niece's baby has an animal theme in his room, with plain walls and coordinating accessories. That looks good!

I gotta tell you that I bought a bookcase recently from the kids window and it is made by sezitall. I'd never seen one before and it was a leap of faith...it wasn't cheap and I was hoping the quality wasn't rubbish!But when it arrived I was really pleased It's so fantastic that I decided to get another for each of my other 2 kids. But always wanting to do a deal I emailed the supplier direct and managed to get a good discount for buying them..they even did a non-standard 7 letter bookcase for me ! So if you want something that's different look at this page

this is the best design site for small childrens bedrooms great for other useful things too.

Paint the walls white, and put wall stickers up that you can change later. Flowers, fish, birds etc can be lovely for little girls.

We have a nature theme going on in DD's bedroom - she has a birdcage overhead lampshade, and a birdbox night light. And a flowered duvet cover. And nature type wall stickers.

Hi Goosey Loosey! If you really want one of those bookcases send them an email to say what you'd like and you'll be offered a discount.

yeah I would love my dd's room to be white but instead it's a horrid pale green colour, we didn't manage to decorate it before she arrived -[http://www.mumsnet.com/te/8.gif] so this Summer there are big plans to get it looking right. [http://www.mumsnet.com/te/2.gif] I love the idea of painting it white and then painting a wavey strip around the middle for rolling hills and then adding some colourful stickers - has anyone found a good place to get these stickers? I'm looking at natural nursery furniture too, I've found one place that stocks really lovely nursery furniture a place called ethicalbabe but if anyone knows anywhere else please let me know.

dd's room is pink pink pink (with a horrid border! )and I would love it to be white with the swing silhouette sticker (from Rockett St George site).

She's still in her cotbed and her room is tiny.Not decorating any time soon due tolack of funds.
I think I've got the storage sorted though as I got both her and ds bookshelves from John Lewis with drawers underneath. It's pink (obviously!) but a good bookcase

With ds he has 3 cream walls and one pale blue with removable car sticker! (I learned my lesson!)

I was wondering the same thing DS has to move to the box room to accomodate forthcoming DC. I want to move him asap so it doesnt feel like he's been kicked out specifically for the new baby. The box room is baby blue at the mo, and I think I'll leave it that way, so I was thinking along the lines of stickers too. I just wish he was old enough for a cabin bed cos the room is only really big enough for his cotbed and some shelves plus a chest of drawers.

Oh no, I clicked! I totally love the Super Mario Bros stickers Wonder if DH will let me decorate our room...

MadameCastafiore that website is indeed dangerous. I promised dd a compromise of some butterfly stickers on the proviso that we got rid of the pink paint and the stickers on there are really lovely. Will bookmark for a purchase I think.

here

lovely selection of stickers.

(Mind you if you click you will spend hours browsing - is a dangerous website!)

When I was 3 my parents asked me what colours I wanted my bedroom - I chose pink, purple and orange. I had a lovely room which I still liked when I was 10 - I can't find the curtain fabric anywhere, but it was like a flowery meadow, mainly green grass with flowers. On the opposite wall I had (very 70's)(that dates me! ) wall paper with stylistic flower designs including pink, purple and orange!

However, thinking along those lines, why don't you start by finding some curtain fabric that would be nice for a girl, but not necessarily very 'pink' - and wouldn't be too babyish - perhaps something like this - and then use this to base things on - you could do bunting with this, or use the colours as a basis for it, or have daisy stencils etc...

I agree with Metatron. Dd has white walls and we got some great Fabler stuff when we went to Ikea. SHe has a drapey canopy type thing above her bed, some storage boxes and the bedding is lovely. I went to our fabric shop and got some material with big spots on it and had curtains made (by a local lady for a tenner. This was before I got my sewing machine or I'd have done it myself )
Paperchase sells lovely big handmade sheets of paper. We have used rainbow and spotty ones as pictures on the wall. It's lovely and colourful and still little-girly enough for her not to mind that it's not pink

Dh and i painted DD's room before she was born. We painted the walls a deep grassy green, put in a blackout blind and voile cutains that have red flowers on. We got white furniture (from ikea) and i wanted to get some big flower stickers (great little trading company i think) but ended up getting some alphabet/number posters instead. It feels very cool and peaceful. She is now 18mo

OK, so it's seeming that white is the colour de jour. Good, that's easy. I'm also liking the gingham/bunting thing. She's too young to care so I might as well have what I like...

I also would suggest white for walls. DH recently spent two whole days whiting out ds1 and dd's bedrooms because we had stupidly cleverly decided to paint them blue and pink respectively then realised that they needed swapping over. Dds room now looks lovely with a mix of painted furniture (next and an old chest of drawers that I had as a child) and a simple wooden bed too. The room still has a pink theme as dd has pink gingham bedding and curtains and a pretty voile shade for the main light which kind of casts a pink glow over everything at night. Looks way better than it did with pink walls.

ikea do nice stuff in the fabler range. looks great with white.

wall stickers are great. DD (10 months) has these-they have lots of lovely designs.

M&S used to do a range called reece which was very reasonable for kids rooms.

I would steer clear of a theme, dates very quickly and you would get sick of it after a while. Just as an idea - DDs room is sugary (barf) pink at the moment with The White Company bunting strung around the picture rail and pink ginghan curtains and large prints on the wall in pastel shades - very girly and has lasted till she is almost 9 as we had it decorated the same in our old house for her.

But DD has a 7 letter name... They're gorgeous though.

Bed isn't too much of an issue as the junk pit has two new large single beds in there already and I would temporarily take the base off and have the mattress on the floor (it's lovely and squashy so not a problem)

I quite like some of Next's furniture for girls here.

Also, if you want a bookcase, these have always looked fab to me and I hanker after one for ds.

For a bed, as she is only 16 months, I quite like the extendable ones from Ikea together with a rail (we have had one for dd from 22 months and she will be 5 soon).

I painted the ceiling and walls blue and then drew a wavy line around the room from knee to waist height and painted it green underneath, so it looks like hills and sky.
Then I got a load of jungle stickers and stuck them all over.
DD's share a room and this year DD2 will be moving into a bed so I am going to take the animals down and put a castle on one wall and trees on another for a princess/fairy room. (but with no pink!)

White would be good. I can do white easily Annoyingly, the room is lilac at the moment but I'm sick of looking at it not that we can see it through all the crap

OMG dd would adore a Night Garden bedroom but I refuse! She has loads of the toys and books but I am not looking at those weird critters all the time

I'm feeling a pale sunny yellow at the moment...

I would paint it white and use wall stickers to make it girly and have warm wooden furniture.

Have promised to transform DDs room like this next year (our room still not done since we moved in so she can wait!) - sort of like these and then use other quite bright purples and really fun bright colours in the room.

ooh im interested too, dd is nearly 2 and we are starting to think about moving her.
ive seen a low single bed in mothercare and a lovely butterfly design duvet set, although i think she may prefer the makka pakka one, yuck.
i want a nice bookcase for her too.

At 38 weeks pg I lovingly assembled heavy cots etc and decorated and bordered a nursery. We even plastered walls ffs! My little bugger darling has never spent a night in there, preferring our king size bed

We need to evict dd if there is to be any chance of dc2 and, having considered all my options, I have decided to bypass my lovely nursery and keep it spick and span for any additions. Instead I'm going to clear out the rag and bone yard spare room and make it a proper bedroom for her (nursery is teeny tiny and she would have to move at some point anyway).

I am not doing this for fun as clearing out decorating leaves me cold so I need ideas for colour schemes and decor that will last her a few years (she's only 16 months). I don't mind pink as such but not too vomit inducing if poss.

So, how are your little girls' bedrooms decorated?
