1. 1

   Paint the walls pink. Pink comes in a variety of shades — from hot pink to bubblegum pink — so choose a shade that reflects your personality. If you can’t decide between bright pink or muted pink, you can always mix and match.

2. 2

   Get a few pieces of girly furniture. Certain pieces of furniture are must-haves for any girly girl’s bedroom. For a classic girly look, white furniture works best; it’s versatile and it complements all shades of pink. Furniture in a natural wood finish will also do. Examples of classic girly furniture include:

   • A vanity table with mirror and chair.
   • A cute dresser. Your dresser can have ornate detailing or simple, clean lines — whichever you prefer.
   • A chaise lounge, if you have the space.
3. 3

   Decorate with girly accessories. Select white or pink accessories that coordinate with a classic girly theme. Classic girly accessories include:

   • Frilly or ruffled bedding. A pink bedspread is an important design element for a classic girly look. A matching ruffled or frilly bed skirt and pillow shams will further accentuate a classic girly theme.
   • Throw pillows. Nothing says girly like a lot of throw pillows. Silky, cushy throw pillows in assorted shades of pink are particularly girly.
   • Rugs. Choose one large rug in a shade that goes well with your bedding. If you prefer, choose two matching rugs — one can be placed at the end of your bed, while the other can be placed under the chair of your vanity or near your bedroom door.
   • Wall hangings. Hang photos of you and your family or friends in feminine frames. Other types of wall hangings that would look great in a classic girly bedroom include sculptural pieces or posters with flower motifs.
   • Lamps. Table lamps with ruffled shades in pink hues add girly detail.
   • Curtains. Soft, pretty curtains in sheer material adds a classic girly touch.
   • Stuffed animals. Arrange them on your bed or place them on your vanity.

1. 1

   Brighten your bedroom walls. Choose paint in bold colors like turquoise, teal, orange or red. Patterned wallpaper also adds an eclectic feel.

2. 2

   Add a bohemian touch with recycled furniture. Recycled or vintage-looking furniture adds uniqueness. Some examples include:

   • A brass daybed.
   • A vintage steamer trunk for storage.
   • An old-fashioned school desk.
   • Floor lamps with patterned shades.
3. 3

   Accessorize with mismatched colors and textures. Don't be afraid to mix patterns and colors — this applies to bedding, rugs and curtains. A patterned quilt and throw pillows in bright hues or graphic prints will add a bit of bohemian quirkiness.
