With two daughters, I’m always seeking inspiration for girls’ bedroom ideas. This summer, my 2-year-old started climbing out of her crib so we decided it was time to convert her space from a nursery to a big girl bedroom. I hit up my usual sources: Pinterest, Instagram, and good old Google for the best girl bedroom ideas to create a special space for my daughter.
Bedroom ideas for girls that we loved included anything whimsical and functional. You want the space to feel at once homey and inspiring. There are moms who swear by only having bedrooms as a place to sleep; I prefer to create kids’ bedrooms that are also fun. It’s nice to be able to read, play, and rest in your own space.
Since our daughter’s room is sizable enough, we created separate areas for sleep and play while also maximizing her closet for storage. She has a play tent in one corner, a dress-up area, and a large, low-hanging mirror to spark the imagination. My taste sways toward the ultra-feminine, but there are plenty of girls’ bedroom ideas with monochrome, unisex, or a pared-down girly feel.
Feeling inspired to change the decor of your daughter’s room? Check out my favorite girls’ room ideas:

Inspiring Girls' Bedroom Ideas
-
Hearts & Happiness
When it comes to a child's needs, love and fun are right at the top of the list. That's why this space, decked out in gold hearts, colorful details, and plenty of great spots for reading and play, is right on target. -
Black & White & Fun All Over
Don't just think pink: monochrome works for girls, too. It's no surprise that the mom behind this rad room owns a small shop, A Child's Nook, creating children's decor. I love the toddler-friendly slide and other little-kid items which can easily be swapped out as your child grows. While this room is actually for a little boy, it would work as a girl's room, too.

Old Hollywood Glam
Want to keep it chic? Take a cue from this mom who infused her daughter's film-loving bedroom with sequins, faux fur, metallics, movie posters, and more for the ultimate in big-picture pretty. This type of over-the-top glamour might be too much for an adults' space, but there's no such thing as going overboard when it comes to pretty details in a girl's bedroom.

Princess Play Space
Mom-blogger Noelle Bryant of Oh Happy Play strove to set up a girl's bedroom with a heavy focus on fun. Dual wardrobe stations for easy mornings and areas for chilling, reading, and imaginative play round out the space. Keeping the walls and furniture white creates the perfect backdrop for this type of multifaceted design.

Simple & Sweet
This look is the most reminiscent of a classic little girl's room that I found in my research, and I love it. Pale pink walls pair beautifully with while furnishings for a frothy yet simple setup. The first-initial motifs, "Hello Beautiful" pillow, and all-white vanity bring together a lovely room that any girl would enjoy growing up in.

Southern Charm
When it came time for this mom-tog and design enthusiast to upgrade her toddler from a nursery to big girls room, she drew inspiration from her Georgia roots. Old-world charm meets a modern point of view with rose gold details and a distressed wrought iron bed, while a heavy dose of hanging florals marks this space unmistakably feminine.

Life's a Beach
There's nothing like feeling like you're on vacation right in your own bedroom. I love this girl's room idea that incorporates an island feel with bold, playful colors for the ultimate kids' getaway.

The Luxe Bohemian
Boho girls' rooms are all the rage and this one doesn't disappoint. Floral bursts, a crochet rug, and wicker furniture are the ultimate in modern bohemian details. The space gets its playful, child-friendly feel with details like a teddy bear on a swing, the vintage-style baby carriage, and a bow-shaped bedside table.

Contemporary Fun
Some of the best girl's room ideas incorporate bright colors and sweet details. This one is a full-on party with its ombre dresser, confetti-inspired wall decals, and splashes of gold throughout. A plush reading nook, metal storage cart, and ton of throw pillows work well for your little or 'tween girl.

Sweet Suite
Have two little girls or an older daughter and a baby? Shared rooms might take more work to set up, but they're twice as much fun to hang out in. Joni of Lay Baby Lay blog created this uniquely stunning space for her crib-sleeper and big girl, marrying childish prints and soft mint walls with more "mature" items like a natural wood dresser and navy rug. These grounding elements bring the theme together without cornering in on the fun. As the kids grow, swap in bunk beds!

Where Fairytales Live
My own daughter's room has a similar feel -- we like the idea of a woodland fairytale. Less about Prince Charming and more about bunnies and birds, unicorns and a sky full of golden stars. Oversized floral wall decals and a swan-shaped dress rack add endless charm to this beautiful little girl's room.

Antique Inspired
When seeking gorgeous girl room ideas, never be afraid to peek at the past. I love the antique dresser, dried flowers, and other vintage-inspired details in this sweet space. Everything here can be easily upgraded to grow with your girl as she gives up the fairytale bedding and turns the floating shelves into a place to display trophies or photographs of friends.
