Creating Pixie Hollow
-
1
Ask your child if she has a favorite fairy because this will be an important aspect of choosing the color for the room's focus. Tinker Bell is the most well-known, but her four main fairy friends are becoming fast favorites.

Choose your color based on your child's favorite parts of Pixie Hollow.
Silvermist is a winter fairy and dresses in cool colors of white and blue. If she is your child's preferred fairy, consider using an ice-blue paint color that will give the room a feeling of winter, such as Valspar's River Mist. Rosetta is a garden fairy and wears bright oranges and reds. If Rosetta is your child's favorite, look for bright fall colors, like Valspar's Autumn Blaze or Scarlet Sun. If the light fairy Iridessa is her choice, look at golden colors such as Valspar's Elizabethan Yellow. If your daughter prefers the animal fairy named Fawn, choose natural but bright colors like Valspar's Greenway or Golden Meadow shades. By incorporating colors that accent the seasonal preferences of your child's favorite fairy, you can make the room feel like that fairy's part of Pixie Hollow.
If her favorite fairy is Tinker Bell, who always dresses in bright green, consider using a shade of pink, purple, or yellow that will complement Tinker Bell's green. Ask your child which complementary shade she prefers.To maintain the Pixie Hollow theme, remember that brighter is better.

Complete the Pixie Hollow look by adding other elements that will keep things bright and magical. Tinker Bell wall decals are widely available at national chain stores and would look great on top of any of these bright paints.
Ask your child what her favorite aspects of Pixie Hollow are. Is it the trees? The animals? If you're creating a winter fairy room, for example, you could include glittery snowflakes on one of the room's walls, either hand-painted or using wall decals. Sparkly flowers would be a great accent to a Tinker Bell-themed room.

Silvermist is a water fairy actually, not a winter fairy. :p I'm planning on doing a Pixie Hollow room for my 18 month old, focusing on Tinkerbell mostly, it'll be my project for the summer.
