Kids' Orange and Pink Bedroom Ideas

Use orange and pink to add a splash of color to a plain bedroom.

Pretty in pink and all that is fine for a 3-year-old, but as she grows up, your little angel's taste in color and design are sure to change. Create a bedroom she can grow with by decorating the room in bright pink and orange. Begin with one wall and work your way around the entire room. Keep it simple; you don't have to use the colors in every single aspect of the room. Accents are the key to successfully pulling off decorating a child's bedroom in these bright colors.

Paint a Mural

Paint a mural of a large orange sunset on one wall, complete with pink and yellow-orange rays. Choose the wall adjacent to the door for the mural, and cover the entire wall to make an impact when you walk into the room. This focal point provides the setting for the entire room, providing the color palette for the rest of the design. Paint the remaining walls white for a striking contrast in color.

Linens

Select a pink comforter with orange accent pillows for the bed. Hang an orange valance over the window. A valance works well for this color palette, as a full curtain may overpower the room with color. Or choose an orange comforter with hot pink accent pillows and valance.

Basic Accessories

Use your imagination and creativity with basic accessories like lighting and rugs to really make the room shine. Hang an orange-and-pink-beaded curtain in the doorway. Choose a white lamp with a bright orange or pink lampshade. Decorating outlets and retail stores carry these mix and match types of lighting fixtures. If you are crafty, attach beads to the lampshade to complement the beaded curtain. Place an orange and pink area rug in the center of the room; one with polka dots or butterflies adds just the right amount of whimsy.

Handmade Touch

Whether she loves drawing at home or at school, hang some of your child's own drawings on the white walls. Paint white or unfinished wood picture frames pink and orange to keep with the color theme. Use different sizes of frames and add a white or black mat to a larger frame to fill the space. Hanging different size pictures creates depth in the white expanse of wall.
