Decorating a girl's bedroom is a bigger challenge than you’d think. It needs to be functional – a calm place to sleep, read, play, study or spend time with friends. And while you want to give her a bedroom she loves, you also need to remember she’s growing quickly and tastes will change. Have a look through our girls’ and teenage girls’ bedroom ideas for some inspiration and tips.
Colour is one of the biggest decisions. And, while pink is still popular, there’s no reason it has to be the default choice. The great thing about neutral shades is that you can make the room feel more grown up just by changing soft furnishings and accessories.
The star print curtains in this room have longevity too – they add pattern without dominating the space or feeling too childlike. They’d also work well with a wide range of colours if the room gets repainted in future.
Wallpapering part or all of the room helps it feel cosy and considered. Cottagecore-style florals, stripes or more abstract patterns will all last well beyond the toddler stage.
As well as being super pretty, this bedroom is also practical. Layering curtains over a blind helps prevent early waking. And again, the whole room can be easily updated by swapping out a few decorative accessories.
Picking a theme for the room is one of the easiest ways to bring everything together. To give it a little more future proofing, pick something broad – like the magical undersea theme here – rather than anything tied to a particular character or trend.
The theme in this example isn’t that obvious until you look closely – the colourful wallpaper and scallop-shell panelling are beautifully subtle. The matching coral-patterned curtains and Roman blind are perfect in here, and we love the way the soft, greeny blue continues onto the lower half of the walls.
“I knew straight away I wanted curtains. There’s something about them that just makes a room feel finished and cosy especially in a child’s bedroom.”

For younger children especially, you might consider incorporating toy storage or an area that encourages imaginative play. Soft pastel colours, a fun painted ceiling and the wooden play café and shop make this a room any little one would love spending time in.
Wooden blinds are a practical choice here, providing adjustable light control for daytime naps. They’re also available in an array of finishes.
As they get older, children’s bedrooms are less about toys and more about them having their own space. Modern teenage girl bedroom ideas focus on having somewhere to relax, spend time with friends and maybe hold an impromptu disco or two.
This bold dressing room proves that sugary pink isn’t just for younger girls. Pair it with monochrome prints, graphic patterns and fun accessories and it becomes something far more sophisticated.
“I love the contrast of the pattern of the blind against the soft pink tones in her bedroom, and the best bit is that it's electric so she can easily open and close the blind herself using a remote, smart speaker or app.”
Sarah Peasant, Interiors content creator
One thing that won’t change as they get older is their need for quality sleep. Snug-fitting blackout blinds are a useful addition to any nursery or bedroom. Choose from sleek, practical Roller blinds or luxurious-looking Roman blinds with a blackout lining, which layer beautifully with coordinating curtains.
Then there’s Blind Screen®, our new total blackout solution. The specially designed frame seals the edges of the blind entirely, with no light creeping in at the sides.
A girl's bedroom will go through a lot of changes over the years, but with the right foundations there’s no need to fully redecorate at every stage. Choose colours, patterns and window dressings carefully, and you'll have a room that she’ll love for years, not months.
