Cool New Ways to Decorate a Girl's Walls
Ask the girl in your life who wants to redecorate her room to define "cool" in regards to wall decor. Review design magazine photos with her, or check out Internet websites with photos of wall decor ideas and note her favorite styles and looks. Clarify whether she wants a coordinating theme such as a dance/ballerina room or if she wants a more eclectic look. Does this Spark an idea?

Wall Art
-
Inquire of a girl what kind of art she likes in terms of framed prints or canvas reproductions. If she likes geography and plans to travel a lot, hang up a world map. Other options include ballerina prints, flowers, animals, Barbie prints, castles and dresses when her passion is fashion. If she is into a particular sport, she may want pictures of her favorite athlete or a singer/band she enjoys listening to.
Words and Phrases That Inspire
-
Make a girl's wall special by adding words or phrases of inspiration. Purchase ready-made caption prints, such as "Every day I love you," "You are beauty full" or the "You are my sunshine" chorus to boost her self-esteem. Alternatively, allow her to write her own words with stencils, such as "Follow your dreams" or "Never give up."

Wall Mural Kits
-
Transform the entire look and ambiance of a room with paint-by-number wall mural kits, peel-and-stick wall murals or prepasted murals for girls. Decorate an entire wall of a castle scene or peel-and-stick butterflies on different walls. If she loves shopping, give her a shoe department mural, bikini shop or cosmetics mural.
Corkboards and Chalkboards
-
Make an ordinary bedroom look cool by adding a corkboard or chalkboard. Corkboards come in different shapes and sizes with colored frames. She can post photos, letters, award ribbons and anything else important to her on a corkboard to personalize it. Another option is a chalkboard on which she can write memos to herself or draw if she is artistically inclined. Chalkboards can be framed, or you can use special chalkboard paint on a wall that serves as a chalkboard.
