Every girl wants a unique bedroom that she can call her own. A girl's bedroom is a reflection of herself and should be decorated accordingly. Pink and purple are the favorite colors of many girls and make great colors for a decorating scheme if used properly.

Things You'll Need

• Primer
• Pink and purple paint
• Tarps
• Paintbrushes
• Pink or purple carpet
• Pink or purple fabric
• Accessories

Instructions

1. Remove all existing furniture and carpeting from the room. Now you can visualize the new design. Sketch a simple floor plan in a notebook so you have a guide to work from when decorating.

2. Prime and paint the walls. Try creative techniques to incorporate both colors, such as painting the walls with a base color of pink, and ragging purple paint on top. Protect your flooring by laying down a tarp before painting.

3. Choose a pink or purple carpet. Some styles to choose from are shag, cut pile and plush. Show off the beauty of hardwood flooring by placing an area rug in the center of the room.

4. Purchase coordinating pink and purple fabric to make matching curtains and bedding for the room. If you are short on time or do not want to sew anything, pink and purple bedding and curtains can be purchased from a store or online.

5. Arrange furniture and accessorize. Refer to the floor plan you created when arranging the furniture. Some practical and decorative accessories might include pink lampshades, purple vases, pink picture frames, and pink and purple pillows.

Tips & Warnings

• When decorating a room in pink and purple, choose furniture that has a neutral wood finish or that's been painted white. You don't want the color of the furniture to clash with the pink and purple color scheme.
