How would you decorate this room?
My little girl uses the room that I also want to set up as a room for guests (then she can bunk in with her teen sister if we have guests over). I was planning to buy a nice sofa bed for her room to have in there which could be opened up for guests. Then the sofa could be incorporated as part of her room (you know – a comfy place to sit and read stories). What color sofa bed should I buy? How can I decorate her room? The carpet is pale caramel and the walls cream. It is a blank canvas. She is only 1 year old but I want it to be girly/pretty – but also suitable for guests to stay in (you know – not completely covered in Disney Princesses or anything)
I saw that done once in a magazine. They accomplished it by using a fabric covered screen. One side would have the girly, princessy, fabulous style that she would love, and the other side would be classical, and reserved. I even saw a hand-made screen/separator on wheels once, that featured a mural on one side, and was a chalkboard/art area on the other side. Perfect for this kind of situation!
The bedding would be the same idea. One set that reflects your daughter’s style, and another set to reflect the guest suite. Same thing with the curtains. Two sets, different styles.
You let the walls be a blank, neutral slate, and you fill in the style or them with accessories. Have shelves behind the screen, and a neutral trunk to hold toys, or store toys in the closet. Switch her big stuff out of the room, and replace it with your accessories that match the guest suite.
You will only be confined by your imagination and your pocket book.
I once saw one room done like a jungle. The border was made of silk palms that were attached at ceiling height by Velcro, and could be removed in five minutes! The decorations were palm trees with stuffed animals, and the palms were in planters on wheels (wheel out of sight into the closet). All the rest was taken care of by switching out curtains and bedding!
Another room was a camp site, complete with pup tent, pine tree clothes tree with bear, and lantern with lightening bugs in it (Christmas lights).
I can go on forever, but you get the idea. Good luck, and HAVE FUN!!
