Right, that's it. DD is having a new bedroom. Inspire me please!

[EyeballsintheSky]

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?

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!

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!!

Tivvy - will I? I deffinitely, I will!

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!

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.

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!!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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'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.

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.

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 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.

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

Oysterpots, that looks amazing
