Currently, professional designers offer a lot of design options. Every parent can bring them to life and not only photos from fashion magazines will help in this, but also our repair school.
Children's room for a girl should be decorated depending on her age. And this condition is considered mandatory. Finding quality materials is not a problem nowadays.

Many parents do not believe in themselves, so they think that they can cope with the taskonly specialists. They, no doubt, know some secrets, thanks to which a harmonious space is formed. But most designers are willing to give advice, so with the right approach, it is quite possible to save on their services. When the design of the nursery is done by the hands of parents, then everything in this room is filled with love. What else does a child need?!
Common mistakes
Before we talk about how to renovate a child's room for a girl, let's look at common mistakes. Most parents allow them when decorating the interior. And this can break the harmony.
- The first mistake is the desire to make the room too childish. Parents, in their desire to achieve originality, begin to abuse images of fairy-tale characters or cartoon plots. And if the space is made out for a girl who is 4-6 years old, then in principle there is nothing to worry about. But, as you know, rarely does anyone make repairs every two years, so when choosing a design, you need to understand that in school years, a growing child will no longer like such decor. Designers advise decorating the walls with a neutral finish, and implementing bright elements in the form of paintings that can be easily removed after a certain time.
- The second mistake is the choice of pink. Undoubtedly, this shade affects mood, improving it, but it also has a negative effect - it suppresses physical activity. For example, in the area intended for sleep, this color is optimalfit. It will relax and improve sleep. But in other places, pink is strongly discouraged. In the play corner, it is better to give preference to brighter and more saturated shades. When choosing them, it is recommended to consult with the child, as he may have his own preferences.
Where to start repair?
When planning to do a do-it-yourself repair of a children's room for a girl, many parents do not know where to start this process. Professionals offer to draw up a plan that will take into account all the preparatory stages. Let's take a look at them.
- Room zoning. The division of space into sections is very important, since the child will have to spend most of his time in it. What does it mean? A girl in the nursery will not only sleep, but also do lessons, sports, and play. For each of these actions, there must be a specially equipped place.
- Purchase of building materials. Any renovation will require renovation of ceiling, wall and floor finishes. Moreover, it will be necessary to take into account that construction work is divided into two stages: starting and finishing. Each one requires specific materials.
- Pick up decorative items. It is at the planning stage that it is necessary to choose not only the finish of the main surfaces, but also the elements that will be used as contrasting inserts. These include, for example, images of your favorite characters.
- Determine the furniture. In each age category, certain furnishings are needed for a girl. Up to 3 years, the child needs a curbstone for storing toys. Having reached the age of 5, a girlshould already learn to take care of her things, so there should be a chest of drawers in the room. In school years, a desk, a wardrobe with large mirrors, armchairs or poufs are installed in the nursery so that she can communicate with her friends.
- Determine the content of the play area. Here it is necessary to consult with the child, and based on his interests and hobbies, make a choice in favor of a particular game.
If there are several same-sex children in a family, then the task for parents, of course, becomes more complicated. When decorating a room, it is imperative to divide the space so that everyone has their own personal corner. It is this decision that will help instill in girls a sense of equality and respect for the interests of others.
Selection of materials
Nevertheless, we decided to start repairing the children's room for girls (see the photo of the best options in the article), then it's time to go for building materials. But in stores there is such a large assortment that it is easy for an unprepared person to get confused. What to do in such a situation? Then read how to choose the right quality material for finishing the room where the child will live.
As you know, children's bodies are still very weak, so when purchasing material, you must consider the following points: quality, environmental friendliness, safety. It is recommended to pay attention to the composition. It should not contain substances such as styrene, formaldehyde, phenol. They are strong allergenswhich can even trigger an asthma attack. Until the end, their effect on the children's body has not been studied, so the occurrence of other diseases is not excluded.
In no case should you save on the choice of building materials. The cheap ones can contain very harmful substances, the vapors of which can easily poison even an adult. Most often, the manufacturer indicates in the instructions that the material is recommended for use in children's rooms. These are the safest ones.
But it is important to pay attention to one nuance. Wood is considered a natural and ecological material. However, to prevent decay processes, manufacturers treat it with chemicals. Namely, the latter carry a threat.
Let's get to the walls
What ideas do professional designers offer to renovate a child's room for a girl? Wallpaper is considered the most common material for wall decoration. Thanks to a wide range, it is quite easy to choose the optimal color scheme and pattern that your child will like. If the girl has already reached adolescence, then the choice can be completely entrusted to her. The main thing is for parents to understand whose room it is and who should like it.
Paper wallpapers are better suited as wall decoration. Their indisputable advantage is a breathable surface. Non-woven options can also be used for a nursery, as they are non-toxic. Vinyl wallpapers are very popular nowadays. They are of high quality, inexpensive, tolerate wet cleaning, are resistant to abrasion, and some of them can even becoloring.
A slightly different finish is chosen if a children's room is intended for a girl and a boy. Repair in this case begins with zoning. As a rule, visual separation will not be enough. It is advisable to install a partition, dividing the room in half. On the side where the boy will live, the wallpaper is pasted over with the appropriate theme and color scheme. On the half of the girl, a completely different palette is allowed. It is not necessary to use only related colors here. A different palette will only accentuate the division and allow everyone to have their own space.
If a child shows creativity, then the walls can simply be painted with paint. Thus, they will become a canvas for implementation. It is the drawings that are the decor that will give originality to the space.
Pay special attention to the floor

Of course, you will need to choose a high-quality and ecological floor covering. It should also be practical and resistant to abrasion. Many professionals advise giving preference to wooden parquet. But its installation will be expensive. As an economical option, you can use linoleum. Its installation is quite simple and fast. Also nowadays, most people choose laminate flooring.

Ceiling trim
Finishing the ceiling is the main component of repairing a child's room for a girl. It is selected depending on the layout. If the ceilings are high, then it is recommended to stop at suspended multi-level structures. Recently, stretch fabrics are often used. They can be both plain and colored, so choosing an option that fits perfectly into the space is not a problem. These types of finishes will cost parents quite a lot. If there is no extra money, then wallpaper or painting can be used as a simple option.
In order for the ceiling finish to organically fit into the common space, it is necessary to select it according to the following requirements:

For little girls, it is recommended to decorate the ceiling with images of butterflies fluttering over flowers, birds flying into the sky, or the vault of heaven.
Zoning
It is mandatory to use zoning if a children's room is being renovated for two girls. Each of them must have their own space. This task is much more complicated if the room is small. However, even in this case, each should have a sleeping area, work, play and guest area. The latter can be combined, that is, they will use it in turn.
There are two ways of zoning a room:
- With furniture. You can divide the space with a narrow rack. However, you will need to make sure that there are no gaps, as this can sometimes lead to conflict. If there are two children, then the shelves will have to be divided in half, as they say, to each his own.
- In order to visually divide a room into functional areas, lighting is often used. This method is only suitable if only one girl lives in the room. For example, an adjustable table lamp and wall sconces are installed in the work area. Here, as in the playroom, there should be a lot of light. But in the bedroom it is necessary to give preference to dim lighting. A night light will not hurt in this area.
Lighting
Renovation of a children's room for a girl involves properly arranged lighting. In this matter, it is better to focus on the rules that were drawn up by professionals. They are not difficult, so parents are quite capable of handling them.
- The room for children should be adequately lit at any time of the day.
- If there is a choice, then preference should be given to a room with windows facing the sunny side.
- "Heavy" window drapery is not allowed, it is better to replace it with light models, such as blinds.
- Place the light in the working area in such a way that it falls on the table from the left side.
- Don't skimp on lighting modules. In order for a magical atmosphere to reign in the room, it is necessary to use, in addition to the main chandelier, a night light, wall sconces, lamps with a dimmer.
Furniture
Renovation of a children's room for a girl should be carried out taking into account the furniture. In this room, in addition to the usual items, there should be accessories and mirrors. Furniture is selected according to a simple principle: functional, practical and safe. Do not forget that the future woman is extremely necessary to have a lot of shelves and drawers. In them, she will store not only her things, but also dolls. Of course, do not forget about the cabinet for toys. You can also purchase a bed in which additional drawers are mounted. Bunk models have already gone out of fashion, so you should consult with your child if he wants such a bed for himself. A four-poster bed looks much more beautiful. She is somewhat reminiscent of a bedlittle princess. In principle, manufacturers now offer many interesting options that are ideal even for small rooms.
Decorating the interior for a little fairy
Renovation of a children's room for a girl who is not yet 7 years old should be aimed at arranging a play area. While the child still does not need to equip a place for classes, so the room will only need to be divided into two parts. It is recommended to place a corner for games near the window, closer to the exit - a sleeping area. The decoration should be bright enough, you can hang pictures of your favorite characters on the walls.
At this age, many girls dream of being princesses, so the castle-shaped room is considered the most popular style. A decorative tower is made in the play area, the bed rises to the podium and is decorated with various bright accessories.
Nursery renovation ideas for elementary school girls
Repair of a children's room for a girl of 10 years old should be somewhat different from the above. First of all, parents will have to equip an additional area - a work area. It will have a desk, bookcase, cabinet for notebooks, magazines and other literature.
Alternatively, you can choose a beige material for finishing. As a drawing, it will be interesting to look at a forest or an apple orchard. A light laminate will complement the interior. If a girl loves fairy tales, then pink furniture will fit perfectly into the space.
If the child does not have a romantic nature, then the main emphasis must be placed on the workplace. In order to increase activity, it is recommended to give preference to bright colors. Calmer tones are used only in the relaxation area.
What does a teenage girl need?
When redecorating a teenage girl's nursery, parents will need to completely get rid of the fabulous interior. At this age, children have completely new hobbies that greatly change their worldview. In order for the teenage psyche not to suffer, the room should be as comfortable and cozy as possible. In this case, it will not work to advise any design, since the teenager is already able to choose everything on his own. Parents can only accept his choice. The main thing to remember is that it is for him to live in this room.
Children's room renovation for two girls
If two girls have to huddle in a small room, then parents, as a rule, install a bunk bed to save space. This helps free up space for the play area. It is also recommended to choose furniture that transforms, for example, a chest of drawers unfolds into a table.
It's much easier to decorate a space if there is enough space in the room. In this case, the parents share the room in such a way that both girls have exactly the same conditions.
