Girly room inspiration


Recommended Posts

My daughter turned 6 recently and her big present was a cabin bed. She took some convincing to move to a new room at the back of the house and away from our bedroom but had her first night yesterday and all went well (as she very proudly woke up to tell me at 5 am).


I need some ideas about making her room pretty and functional. We have the bed of course but need a large rug, new curtains and any other little touches. The bed has a small desk, shelves etc. (it's this one http://www.gltc.co.uk/fcp/product/-/bedroom_furniture_midsleeper_bunk_beds/Reece-Midsleeper-Cabin-Bed---White/10000002983)


While she is rather girly now I don't want to go full on girly as I don't want the room to date too quickly!

There was a local woman on here a couple of years ago who had a business selling fabric wall stickers. They were really cool and equally important super easy to put on and take off! Obviously this is useless information if I can't remember what her business was called... Will cast around and try to remember but if no luck then wall stickers in general?


ETA found it!

I highly recommend them.

We have some of the fabric wall stickers from Quick Brown Fox of Dulwich in our daughter's bedroom, they look fab and are much better quality than the plastic ones that break when you try and move them from wall to wall, would also highly recommend them!

a warning - my daughter went through the obligatory pink phase at the time that we re-decorated our house and so her room was painted a pale pretty pink (Farrow & Ball no less)


she has now outgrown the pink phase and shows signs of goth-ish leanings, although not yet 9

needless to say, the pink bedroom is no longer in favour, but it's going to be a while before we can afford to redecorate!

We did three white walls and one bright pink one covered in re-usable stickers from B & Q, which to my surprise have withstood various moving around. Thought it would not be too hard to re-paint just one wall when the pink fall-out comes. Also a neutral carpet but with a bright rug, central room lamp shade and girly bedside lamp.


Also had a white flatpack wardrobe from Ikea, which I have let be stickered up to the max with whatever wanted.


Never got round to curtains and still have the blackout blinds from when tiny.

    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
    • My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!  
    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
