Little girls love princesses and many love the idea of their perfect, pink princess bedroom. As your child grows, you want to provide them with a bedroom that they will love but we often have to face the realities of life when it comes to decorating our children's bedrooms.The budget may be tight or you may feel that your chld is growing fast and that the current fascination with princessess will only last for a year or two, for example.

I hope to give you tips to help you to create your the princess bedroom on a budget as well as some advice on future proofing the bedroom, so that you can easily adapt the decor as your child grows. I will aslo present a completed room design, to help you put the ideas together easily. Your little princess will be thrilled with her new bedroom!

Top Tips to Help Create a Princess Bedroom on a Budget

Save Money Now and Future Proof Your Investment Too!

Decorating your child's bedrooms can be expensive, especially if your child has their heart set on a theme. Now you might be happy to go all out for your little girl's princess bedroom but for many of us, while we might want to create the perfect princess palace, we have to face the reality of a budget. You might be reluctant to spend a lot of money on a room theme that your little one will grow out of. The following tips will help you to create a princess bedroom that your little girl will just love, on a budget and will also provide some insight on how to future proof your investment.

1. Choose White Furniture

The furniture you choose will in the main be the most costly part of your room makeover. I suggest using white or indeed ivory/cream furniture, so that you have a neutral base and so that these furniture items can easily form the base for your child's next theme or even for a funky tween or teenager's bedroom. Themed furniture can be very expensive and also has a short shelf life. I will be giving you some ideas later in this lens on how to simply and cheaply customise this furniture so that you can "princessize" it! When I say easy I mean really easy!

2. Use Wall Decals

Unless you are very artistic and skilled with a paintbrush, it can cost quite a bit to get a wall mural painted. It will break your heart when you see it all painted over when the room is being reinvented. A much simpler and low cost way to decorate the walls in theme is to use wall decals. Make sure that you get some that are easy to remove and don't mark your walls - most don't but just double check the description before you buy!

3. Take Stock of What you Already Have Before You Buy

Do you have items in your home that will help you create your theme? You may have some curtains, cushion covers of fabrics in pink or white or that can be dyed to suit. Do you have a white chest of drawers or an old piece of furniture that can be revived with a lick of paint and a few new door knobs. Does your daughter already own princess dolls, soft toys that can be placed on a shelf? A princess dress or costume that can be framed or simply hung on a wall to add to the theme? These are just some ideas but I think you get my drift.

4. Buy Low Cost Accessory Items to Create the Theme

You can buy low cost bed linen, light fittings, storage boxes etc. that will create your theme for you. There is no need to spend a fortune on these items. If they serve a purpose and help create your theme that is all you need. If the accessories you choose can be easily adapted when the theme is changed then you really deserve some gold stars. (I will give you an example of this later in the lens - I know I am such a tease!)

You really can create a princess bedroom, without spending a fortune and without wasting money on expensive items that will have a very short life span. Your very own little princess will still be thrilled with the result!

The Princess Bedroom

A Little Inspiration for You!

Princess Bedroom

At Viva Home Interiors, we believe that it is possible to create home interiors that not only fulfil a brief but that are flexible and can be changed in years to come without breaking the bank. For this reason, when designing our princess room, we selected primarily white furniture and have recommended inexpensive decorative touches. This means that your daughter can have her princess room now but it will also allow you to completely change the look your girl's bedroom easily when the time comes.

I will outline here the items chosen for this design and you can find more information about each item on our site. For this design, to make shopping easier and less time consuming. I decided to select items from a single source - Amazon.

Princess Bedroom - Using Wall Decals to Create Your Theme

Princess wall Art

When creating a princess room it can be tempting to go the whole hog and start painting murals or to hire an artist to paint the perfect princess palace scene for you. This is great if you have the budget and you don't mind redecorating in a couple of years but a more practical option and budget friendly option is to paint the room in white or pink and use some children's wall art stickers to add the decorative effect you are looking for.

There are so many options available these days in terms of wall art, there is no need to spend a fortune having something customised created. Many of the sticker sets are self-adhesive but removable so they don't damage your walls when it is time to take them down.

Princess Bed

Princess Bed

I chose this white canopy bed for our princess room as I am focussing on choosing white furniture, in order to future proof the room for when the little princess grow up. Having said that, you still want a bed that is fit for a princess. This white twin size bed with a canopy is a great choice. The canopy comes in white and is a lovely decorative feature. If you want to add some pink in here, you could always buy some cheap voile or pink tab top curtains to create your own pink canopy. However, the pink princess bed linen that is featured as an accessory to this bed will transform this bed into the perfect place for your princess to sleep and have fairy tale dreams.

This bed has a white metal frame, with a decorative headboard and footboard. The headboard is 43" high and the footboard is 31" high. The Canopy is 81" high. If you decide to buy this bed, please bear in mind that the mattress is sold separately. There is also a matching night stand which again is sold separately.

White Childrens Wardrobe for Your Princess Room

White Childrens Wardrobe

A white children's wardrobe is a great choice when you are decorating your child's nursery or bedroom. Even if you are creating a themed room, such as a princess room, using white furntiure will cut down the cost of redorating when your child is ready to move on from the chosen theme.

The white finish 3 drawer junior wardrobe and bedroom armoire pictured here provides both hanging space and drawer storage for clothes and accessories. Open space behind the doors can aslo be used for a small tv. The size of this wardrobe makes it ideal for any small bedroom or even a guestroom.

All doors and drawers feature round knobs. If you are creating a themed room, you can always replace these knobs with decoratived knobs that match the theme such as these princess ceramic knobs (see below).

The dimensions of this childrens wardrobe is 30" wide x 20.5" deep x 60" high.
