Does your daughter’s bedroom need a refresh? If you’re hunting for girls room ideas that go beyond the obvious, you’re in the right place. Here are 10 more stunning room ideas for girls to help spark your imagination, from feature walls to cosy reading corners.
#1. Have a Feature Mural
A hand-painted or stencilled mural on one wall can transform a plain bedroom into something really special. We love this tree mural idea, created over a few hours using paint and a simple stencil technique.

If painting isn’t for you, wall mural stickers are a brilliant no-mess alternative — you’ll find a huge range of tree, floral and nature-themed sticker sets online to suit almost any colour scheme.
#2. Use Light Strings
Soft LED string lights paired with sheer curtains create a really magical, dreamy feel around a bed. One lovely version uses a three-stage curtain rail fitted to the ceiling, with sheers and fairy lights draped down on either side.

Or keep it simpler by draping two curtain panels with lights woven through at the end of the bed, like this example.

#3. Try Polka Dots
Big, bold polka dots are a fun way to bring colour into a girl’s bedroom without committing to an entire themed room. This two-tone red and white version shows just how striking a simple dot pattern can look on a feature wall.

#4. Create a Vertical Bookshelf
If space is tight, a vertical bookshelf is a clever solution. This idea uses a single long piece of wood with shelves attached horizontally along its length, then painted in a pretty colour to match the room — a great way to display books and keepsakes without eating up floor space.

#5. Use the Vertical Space
Another great option for smaller rooms is to make the most of wall height rather than floor space. This idea combines floating shelves with hanging rods underneath, so baskets and buckets can be hung for storing all those little bits and pieces that tend to clutter a room.

#6. Try Citrus Colours
A citrus colour palette of orange, pink and white with purple accents is a fresh, modern alternative to traditional pastel girls’ rooms. It works particularly well in a bright, naturally lit room and pairs nicely with white furniture and clean lines.

#7. Create a Feature Wall
A gallery-style feature wall made from picture frames in different sizes and shapes is an easy weekend project. Paint the frames in colours that match your scheme, then fill them with a mix of family photos and favourite quotes.

#8. Create a Seating Area
If there’s room in the corner, a small seating area with a couple of extra bean bags is perfect for when friends come round. This colour scheme is a lovely example of how a seating nook can tie the whole room together.

#9. Use Wallpaper for Feature Areas
Wallpaper doesn’t have to cover an entire wall. Using it in smaller sections — around a window seat, behind a headboard, or as a border — can create a lovely feature without overwhelming the room. In this tween bedroom, the turquoise wallpaper is picked up again in the window seat fabric, rug and blinds, tying the whole look together.

#10. Go Blue
Blue isn’t just for boys’ rooms. This scheme pairs a soft baby blue wall with pops of pink and red for a fresh, unexpected combination. An old table painted a vibrant pink makes a striking nightstand, while bright cushions and a quirky framed print finish the look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I update a girl’s bedroom on a budget?
Small changes make a big difference — a feature wall, new bedding, fairy lights, or repositioning furniture to create a cosy reading or seating corner can transform a room without a full renovation.
What’s a good alternative to an all-pink bedroom?
Try citrus tones, soft blues paired with pink accents, or a neutral base with colourful accessories. Polka dots, wallpaper accents and gallery walls all add personality without relying on a single colour.
How do I make a small girl’s bedroom feel bigger?
Use vertical space rather than floor space — floating shelves, vertical bookshelves, and hanging storage like baskets on rods all help keep the room tidy while freeing up room to move.
Are murals a good option for a child’s bedroom?
Yes, as long as you’re happy to repaint the wall later if tastes change. If you’d prefer something less permanent, removable wall sticker sets give a similar effect without the long-term commitment.
