Decoration Ideas for a Girl's Purple Bedroom

Create a room that grows with your daughter.

Purple rooms appeal to a little girl's love for purple pansies, ponies, passion flowers and other nature-inspired themes. Focus on decorating with all shades of purple, such as lavender and deep purple, or pair your daughter's favorite shade of purple with other colors such as white, yellow and green. A purple room doesn't need to showcase purple only, but it should stand out as the main shade in the room.

Purple Ocean Themes

Decorate an ocean-inspired purple room for your little girl. Paint a sunset on one wall with a mixture of pink, purple, yellow, blue and other shades. You can also feature framed pictures of ocean sunsets in the room. Fill the room with ocean treasures such as seashells, star fish, life saver floats and rocks. Paint seashells and pebbles shades of pink and purple. Let the paint dry and then spray the rocks and shells with spray-on glue. Sprinkle pink, purple and yellow glitter on the shells and rocks to make them shine. You can place these rocks on your daughter’s window sill, on her dresser and on the shelf. Look for purple and pink glass bottles with corks and fill these with craft sand and feature these throughout the room.

Purple Floral Themes

Lavender flowers come in a combination of purplish-pink and purplish-blue. Feature all sorts of purple flowers in the room or focus on one type of flower as your main theme.

Glue silk daisies around the border of the room and glue additional flowers around the border of your daughter’s dresser, lamp and other items throughout the room. Adorn her bed with floral bedding and place pillows shaped like flowers on her bed. If you want to feature lavender plants, use ribbon to tie lavender stalks in the room or place these in a vase on the dresser. Flower shaped rugs, ceramic flowers and other types of flower decor flow nicely in this type of room.

Purple Striped or Polka Dot Themes

Your daughter might like a purple and white polka dot or striped theme. Paint stripes on the walls with various shades of purple, pink and green. Feature small thin stripes or pick two main colors such as purple and white and feature thick stripes throughout the room. Find striped bedding and curtains that blend well with the walls.

Decorate with purple ladybugs and other types of decor that feature polka dots.

Purple Art Rooms

Design a purple art room for a girl who loves art along with the color purple. Paint the walls lavender or another shade of purple. Paint wooden frames pink or dark purple to contrast against light walls and hang up framed pictures of her paintings and drawings. Adorn her shelves, desk and dresser with crafts that she made and install a large chalk board that is 5 feet wide and 6 feet tall on one of the walls. Give her a box of colored chalks so she can create drawings. Buy glow-in-the-dark chalk, so she also craft glowing murals. You can also place a standing easel in one of the corners if you prefer.
