How to Decorate the Walls of a Girl's Room

A girl's bedroom wall is an opportunity to express her personality.

The wall of a bedroom is like a blank canvas, ready to be decorated to fit the personality of the room's occupant. The wall in a girl's bedroom offers the chance for an array of decorating choices to match the personality of the girl whose bedroom wall you're decorating. By combining colors, fabrics and artwork with a feminine, age-appropriate touch, you can turn her bedroom wall into a reflection of her personality.

Things You'll Need

• Shelves
• Stickers
• Posters
• Stuffed animals and dolls

Instructions

1. Write down ideas. Include the room's occupant in the process. Ask her what she likes. Talk about colors and artwork. Make a list of all the elements she would like to see on the wall. Take into account the rest of the room decor as you make choices. Decide whether you will fit the room to the wall or decorate the wall to match the current room decor.

2. Paint the wall, if it is a dull color. Bright colors work well. Use stencils to add patterns that will enhance the theme you've decided to pursue. Patterns might include flowers, geometric shapes or images of favorite animals.

3. Arrange framed posters on the wall of favorite celebrities such as singers and actresses. Use theme-specific posters if you've decided to decorate to a theme. Themes that might work for a girl's wall include unicorns, fairy tales or animals. Select posters age appropriate to the girl whose wall you're decorating. Distribute the posters evenly around the wall, but leave room in between for adding other decorative touches that will fit the theme you've chosen.

4. Decorate the walls using self-adhesive plastic stickers that can be placed on the wall and later removed easily. These stickers come in a variety of themes and can enhance almost any bedroom design. Place these stickers on the walls for visual appeal and to enhance the theme you're presenting.

5. Hang shelves on the wall for knick-knacks. Arrange ceramic figurines, a jewelry or music box, crystal figures or favorite stuffed animals or dolls on the shelves. Use one shelf to display photographs of family and friends.
