Are you planning to renovate a girl’s nursery, but still don’t know where to start? In this article you will find a detailed guide to the proper planning and design of a nursery, see examples of completed renovations, understand how to choose a design theme that is interesting for your child, and learn how age affects the choice of interior.
On the eve of the repair, it is necessary to decide on all the details and select the appropriate materials. You also need to plan the placement of furniture in the room and allocate the budget. It is important that the space is practical, safe, environmentally friendly and cozy.
When thinking through the design, you need to take into account the nuances of a particular room: dimensions, geometry features, size and number of windows, as well as a reference point regarding the four cardinal directions.
Design: features of embodiments
When decorating a nursery, you should take into account that at least once every few years you will have to make changes as the child grows.
Every girl's pink dream is a beautiful room
With some versatility of the created interior, it will be quite easy to make changes and additions.
In addition to the ability to make adjustments to the decor, the interior of a girl’s nursery should correspond to her tastes and wishes.
We take into account the tastes and wishes of the child
Personal space in childhood leaves an imprint on the formation of character, the formation of attitude and taste.
For a harmonious interior, a balanced selection of each item is important. Everything in the room should be balanced, comfortable, safe.
We do everything harmoniously and balanced
The child should have free access to toys, books, and comfortable furniture arranged to highlight functional areas.
This approach will foster independence in the baby, giving her the opportunity to arrange toys herself and keep things in order.
Children's room for two girls
Setting up a room for two children is always more difficult. Even if they are the same age, the older they get, the more each girl needs personal space. Therefore, think about zoning in advance!
If the room is small, there are not many options. Set up a bunk bed and push off from it. And if the area allows, competent zoning is your best friend. Let the girls have common recreation areas, but separate sleeping and working spaces.
Place beds and tables against opposite walls. And if the room is elongated, divide it in half using a shelving unit with through shelves, a thin and light partition, or even a curtain.
Style
The choice of design style for a nursery is an important aspect that sets the tone for the future interior. It is desirable, but not necessary, that it be the same as the rest of the rooms in the house.
It is very important to choose a style and stick to it in everything
A baby's nursery is a whole world. It’s okay if some elements do not correspond to the clear direction of the style.
The main thing is that the child likes the room. Nowadays, a girl’s room does not necessarily have to be focused on a pink tint in the interior and a large number of dolls.
Classical
The little lady will love the style of real princesses. What makes a classic-style nursery stand out from others?
Classic design option
It looks like an adult's room. Here the lighting is provided by a real classic chandelier, the wall decoration is monochromatic or a dim pattern.
Large balls on the ceiling look very impressive
The classic interior is emphasized by a noble color scheme without excessive brightness, smooth lines, furniture with carved legs, and strict finishing.
The color of the furniture is in natural soft shades. From white, milky to noble chestnut.
There can be a variety of shades
To prevent the room from looking too strict, it is better to choose light furniture.
The distinctive elements of the classics include:
- canopy over the bed;
- lambrequins;
- following the classics even in accessories;
- consistency of the interior with a certain color scheme.
If a child likes a discreet, very elegant, aesthetic interior, it will be easy for the little one to cultivate aristocracy and a sense of beauty.
We develop a sense of beauty from childhood
This style will be equally good for both a little girl and a teenager.
Contemporary: versatile space
The laconicism characteristic of modern style will create a universal space. A modern interior gives you the freedom to use unusual elements in your design.
An interesting chandelier can only emphasize the chosen style
A chandelier of an unusual shape, a “fairytale” lambrequin with curls, stars, and an unusual combination of shades in the design should be in harmony with each other.
If a child has a hobby, then the style of the room will highlight the girl’s preferences and her individuality.
Each room has its own individuality and peculiarity
You can choose photo wallpapers with your favorite book or cartoon characters, or find a place for a collection of dolls or figurines.
Polka dots in everything, even in frames!
Tip This style is more suitable for a teenager than for a baby still playing with dolls.
Pop art: for the active and energetic
For girls who are dynamic and active, have many hobbies and know how to enjoy every day, a children's room in the pop art style is ideal.
The child should feel comfortable in his room
Such a room will become an incentive for the development of imagination, creativity, and the implementation of unusual ideas.
Bright shades, bold color combinations combined with eclecticism will make the children's interior energetic, mobile, and fashionable.
Bright accents with trendy red
In such a room, almost any object will be organic. A teenager can hang posters with comics on the walls, and a younger girl can hang posters with cartoon characters.
Bright toys in the pop art style can easily coexist with unusual accessories and original pieces of furniture.
Complete the room with different accessories and decor
A non-boring room will appeal to the fidget, which does not sit still for a minute.
Provence for romantic girls
Originating in the south of France, the Provence style has absorbed the sun of the Mediterranean, the bright colors of nature, and the simplicity of the lifestyle of rural provincial Europe.
The color scheme of Provence is soft and natural:
- olive;
- white;
- beige and milky;
- baby blue;
- lavender;
- light pink;
- mint;
- grayish tones;
- blue.
All the colors of wild and garden flowers can find their place in the interior of the room of a girl who loves nature, fairy tales, and her toys.
Unobtrusive and pleasant interior
Floral patterns, light fabrics, natural materials make the children's interior pleasant and simple.
Antique or artificially aged eco-friendly furniture is a mandatory attribute of a Provençal interior.
Interesting combination of colors and decor
Here you can hang an antique clock on the wall, lay out embroidered napkins, cover the bed with a frilly bedspread, put flower pots, put dried flowers in a vase.
And toys will find their home in wicker baskets placed on open shelves.
Color range: responsible choice
Girls, more than boys, are sensitive to the shades and colors of the room in which they live.
Shelves for books, flowers, and dolls
The choice of the predominant color should depend on the character and temperament of the child, but calm pastel colors remain more preferable.
Pink: girly and cute
Pink is considered a traditional, familiar color for a girl’s room. It embodies tenderness and peace.
Floral patterns and delicate shades of pink create a cozy homely atmosphere.
Pink interior - comfort and wonderful atmosphere
Pink color goes well in a children's room with white and light beige. By making it a supporting one, you can complement the interior with items with floral prints.
We complement the design with all possible prints
For example, curtains, embroidered decorative pillows, etc.
It is advisable to avoid overly bright and caustic shades of pink.
Lilac: a non-trivial approach
Juicy lilac color is a girlish, but not at all banal shade. Belonging to a cold color scheme, not every girl will like it.
Lilac is a soft, beautiful and calm shade
To make the room soft, lilac can be combined with floral motifs and experiment with different shades of the palette.
Blue Room: breaking stereotypes
It is generally accepted that blue and blue are colors for boys. But here everything depends on the personality of the child himself.
Don't think blue is just for boys
If a girl likes a delicate blue shade, striped “sailor” colors, then why not decorate the little girl’s room with a predominant shade of the color of the sky?
Blue is very easy to combine with other colors
Blue goes well with white and beige. It is also “friendly” with striped and checkered patterns, floral prints and natural fabrics.
Green: natural and calm
We are talking not just about green, but about a range of tones and halftones that are pleasing to the eye. Neutral and calm, green can become the background against which a child will create his own personal space.
An interesting embodiment of several colors in one room
Mint and olive shades are natural. They go well with pastel colors, creating an interior that is pleasant for a child to live in.
Light mint shades in the room are even very welcome
In combination with pink elements, the mint shade becomes truly girlish and delicate.
Thanks to the large windows, there will definitely not be a lack of light
How can you combine them? For example, furniture in a delicate greenish shade is combined with beige walls, pink accessories - a table lamp, wall clock, bright book bindings on open shelves, decorative pillows.
You can use a lot of pillows - this will only enrich the interior
It is believed that green has a positive effect on the child's psyche. However, if the child categorically does not like the shade, there is no need to conceal it.
White: pros and cons
For a child's room, the presence of white is desirable and sometimes necessary.
Always beautiful white
To prevent a girl’s room from looking unnatural and sterile, white should be combined with other colors, placing accents and enlivening the interior.
We place the accents correctly
White is a universal background for creative implementations and interior solutions. In combination with pink, for example, it acquires marshmallow softness and tenderness.
This color is the most universal - it is appropriate as the main color for both a very small child and an adult girl.
Versatile and classic design
Beige: creamy softness
Any shade of beige can be the starting point in developing the design of a Provencal or classic nursery interior.
Any color can look harmonious and beautiful
Mixing beige with other colors can sometimes be difficult due to the abundance of its tones and halftones that fade into gray or brown.
Some flowers and butterflies
Beige goes best with wooden furniture and natural fabrics.
Design of a small nursery for a girl
Arranging the interior of a small nursery for a girl is more difficult, but even here there are already several proven solutions. Lack of space is not a death sentence, especially with modern multifunctional systems.
Pay attention to transformable furniture. There are two options here:
— Furniture that “grows” with the child. It is equipped with all kinds of regulators and fasteners. Approximately the same principle is used to adjust, for example, the seat and handlebars of a bicycle.
— Complex systems. A desk, a wardrobe and a bed, and sometimes a sports corner, are combined into one complex structure. Most often it is bunk: the bed is on top.
Complex systems delight many children. They are modern, functional, interesting and can take a long time to study.

Finishing: features of embodiments
When choosing finishing materials for renovations in a girl’s nursery, you should give preference to environmentally friendly materials, the safety of which for the health of the child must be assured.
We give preference only to environmentally friendly materials
Can a ceiling be perfect?
Decorating the ceiling in a children's room can be very simple or complex. The best option from the point of view of hygienic requirements is cement plaster and subsequent painting.
It is important to dilute the gray color with light curtains and furniture
What about the starry sky? If the child is emotional and often distracted, then it is better to choose pure white. With this choice it will be easier to fall asleep.
Walls: wallpaper is in the lead
The environmental friendliness of the materials used is important here. Wallpaper continues to lead in popularity as a finishing material for walls.
The most popular wallpapers for walls as always
The color scheme is selected depending on the design of the room. It is better to give preference to paper wallpaper, since vinyl, for all its decorative value, is not advisable to use in a nursery.
The most common use of paper wallpaper is
In addition to paper wallpaper, you can consider the following options:
- photo wallpaper;
- liquid;
- eco wallpaper.
Gender: what to pay attention to
The floor covering must meet many requirements:
- It shouldn't be slippery.
- Wear resistance is also an important indicator.
- Easy to care for.
Oh these bears! Well, where would we be without them?
Laminate, cork, linoleum and parquet are still relevant. In addition to them, a new modern coating is gaining popularity - marmoleum. It is inexpensive, beautiful and environmentally friendly.

Furniture for girls
An interesting, responsible and exciting moment when decorating a nursery is the selection of furniture.
Different furniture is relevant for each age
The necessary items are selected based on the following data:
- child's age;
- room size;
- room style;
- design of the entire apartment;
- environmental friendliness of materials;
- child's preferences;
- security, etc.
Safety and environmental friendliness of materials
For a newborn baby, a crib, changing table or chest of drawers and a chair for an adult will be enough.
As a child grows up, his needs change, tastes and preferences are formed.
Be prepared for the fact that from time to time, as you age, you will have to change your style and interior
In this case, you will need a set that allows you to satisfy all the needs of the girl, and includes pieces of furniture for: sleep, leisure, school activities.
A cradle bed cannot necessarily be used for very small children.
Minimum required:
- bed;
- wardrobe;
- table, chair for studying;
- rack for toys, books;
- safety.
Bright, stylish, fashionable and simply fantastically beautiful
When choosing a set of furniture, it is important to take into account the wishes of the child himself.
Some girls, for example, want to have a free-standing four-poster bed, while others want the sleeping place to be located on the top tier.
An important role must be played by the bed on which the child sleeps.
We select very carefully
According to the girl’s age, storage areas for toys, books, and other things should be located so that they are easy to use.
If you have to supplement an existing set of furniture with a new item, you need to select it very carefully, making sure that its color, style, and size are combined with the rest of the furniture.
Lighting
There should be enough light in a girl's nursery. It is advisable to place the workplace near a window. The room should have both general and local lighting.
You need to take care of good lighting
This is a chandelier in the center, a table lamp on the table, a night light, a sconce.
The necessary lighting fixtures are selected taking into account the child’s age and design. Their safety and structural stability are important.
Cool interior for a little lady
The youngest child will be delighted by a night light with a painted fairy or other favorite character. For an older girl, you can choose a romantic design.
Spectacular chandelier in the form of flowers in a large ball
It is advisable to arrange a children's room with the involvement of its little resident and taking into account her wishes.
Play area in the nursery for a girl
All children need their own place to play and have fun. It is most convenient to allocate a separate area for this. Lay a carpet there, leave a toy box, put a sofa nearby, hang a TV or connect a console.
This organization of space teaches children to have order from an early age. Let the girl put away the dolls and toys herself. This is how children become more responsible and independent.
Is the young athlete growing up? Then take care of a small sports corner. They are now quite compact and practical, so you can fit them even into a small room. Simply attach the base of the frame to the wall or ceiling.
