How to paint a girl’s bedroom

Written by Oliver Pennington | Jan 23, 2019 8:00:20 AM

A girl’s bedroom should give her a private space where she studies, dreams, and experiences her girly world. Additionally, the bedroom should have soft colours that evoke innocence, girlishness and beauty. Bright colours will probably give the vibrancy of childhood, but this should be updated as the girl matures into teenage and adulthood.

Regardless of the colour you decide to put in the girl’s bedroom, it should match the personality of the occupant of the room. If you are in doubt about which colour you should paint your daughter’s bedroom, contact professional painters at serviceseeking.Com.au.

Understand her favourite colours – Do not make the mistake of thinking that every girl loves pink. Before you decide to paint the room where a girl sleeps, ensure you already know the colours and the hues that she prefers. A great way to go about this is to pick a colour that complements the accessories in the bedroom.

Start with a colour theme – Sometimes girls have a particular interest in things. Consider filling her bedroom with decorations and furniture that pay attention to her interests in life. The colour of the paint will act as the base of the theme. You can, for example, use purple and pink to create a ballerina or princess’ room, or use sandy beiges and blues to create a beach theme. Alternatively, you can use yellow and green to complete a nature theme.

Interests change: use a neutral base colour – As the girl grows older, her interests will change and so will her favourite colours. A neutral paint accented with bright colours in the form of paintings, bedroom decorations, lampshades, pillows and comforters will go a long way to compliment the paint of the girl’s bedroom.

Pink or purple paint is usually a girl’s favourite – Traditionally, pink and purple have been the girls' favourite colours. To further enhance the girly feel in the bedroom, you can use soft paint as well as love endures to create a delicate appearance.

Yellow paint evokes a sunny, gay aura – Most girls in their youth are happy, fun-loving people. A shade of yellow creates a luminous ambience in the bedroom, which evokes a happy, warm and mature aura. Golden colours fill a room with energy and life. To invoke a natural feel, you can accent the yellow with green and blue hues.

Mix up grown-up colours with girly hues – You can, for example, paint one wall dark brown and then all the other three light pink. The appeal of such a colour scheme is that even when the girl grows up into maturity, she will still feel that the room paint is sophisticated enough for her age.

Pastel hues evoke girlhood – Since girlhood is associated with no sense and poise, you can draw out the mood by using stylish colours that range from blush pink to powder blue to pink peach.

Use Sherbet shades to make the room playful – Sherbat includes hues such as orange, lime, and lemon. These hues are considered playful and cheery, and when combined with the right accessories, they can turn a child’s bedroom into a playroom. You will probably need to add a few more colours as the girl matures into teenagehood.

Bright and vibrant colours create excitement and energy – Childhood is an age when children become playful, and they’re energetic and filled with excitement. The bedroom colours are meant to match this energy, but you can evoke some contrast by combining them with colours such as purple, yellow, and green.

Antiquated cottage-style colours appeal to older girls, too – white colours, creams, and blush pinks are traditionally appealing to all girls. They bring the sophistication and style that is desirable among older women.

White ceiling – The white ceiling will not grab the eye from the beautiful furnishing and decorations on the walls. The eyes will remain focused on the beautiful decor in the girl’s bedroom. Generally, light shades are best painted on to create an open feel to a room, while dark tones can sometimes be overwhelming and even threatening. Instead of painting white, you can mimic the sky entering the ceiling blue and thereby give the room a natural ambience.

Decorate with polka dots, stripes, and other patterns – Obviously, painting a room with so many colours without breaking the monotony with a pattern can seem boring. Create a playful environment by using patterns such as stripes, polka dots, etc. Of course, it is much easier to create stripe patterns than dots, but it is still doable. Choose different shades for different patterns to create a suitable contrast. Contrasting colours make the room have a funky, energetic, and fun feel.

Use flowers or stars to give the room a natural feel – How about being creative by bringing nature into the room with flowers, butterflies, vines, and stars to transform a plain wall into something magical? If you are a talented artist, you can paint these pictures on the wall and create a small, perfect world right there in the bedroom.

Inscribe her name on the wall – You can add drama to the room by using stencils to paint her name on the wall. Even better, you can try your hand at creating graceful strokes and calligraphy to personalise her room. This makes the room feel like it is truly hers, and she’ll never forget home even when she is all grown up and has already moved out.

To motivate the girl, you can paint an encouraging verse, proverb or quote so that every day she wakes up, it is the first thing she sees. This will become her inspiration as she grows older. It will be her point of reference.
