Pink Princess Theme Room
Most little girls absolutely love the color pink, and love to be the princess too. Here are some ideas on how to transform your little girl’s room into a room fit for a princess.
Walls
I strongly advice against painting the walls pink. They don’t stay little forever, and will eventually want a different color on their walls. Keep it white and use accents or murals. You’ll be glad you did later on.
Example: Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses Jumbo Wall Accents
Window Treatments
Another very easy addition to your pink princess theme room is curtains and other window treatments. It’s not hard to find pink “frilly” curtains for a girl’s princess room.
Example: Princess Flora Valance, ea. 84W x 15L
Lighting
Lamps can be fun and really “light up” the whole room. There are some really fun lamps to chose from now, so be sure to look around. While it’s simple to just choose a pink lamp, you can also pick up one that focuses on their favorite princess (or just princess in general).
Example: Pink Ribbon Table Lamp
Bedding
This one is pretty easy, since you can find pink princess bedding just about anywhere. Two of the most popular designs right now are the Disney princesses and Dora princess. Other pink bedding (maybe with some frills) would work as well.
Example: Princess Bed in a Bag Set, Twin
Another option for the bed is a canopy. This idea stems back to the 16th century, when royalty had canopy beds and beautiful drapes over their bed. You can find the entire canopy and bed all together, or sometimes just buy the canopy. The canopy alone really isn’t all that expensive
Example: Alaina´s Heart Twin Canopy Top
Decor
Here’s where you can get really creative and pull the whole theme together. There is so many different types of princess decor out there, including a ‘general’ princess theme, Dora princess (great for little ones), and Disney princess. Decor would include not just wall decor, but furniture as well. YourKidsDirect has a lot of neat options for various princess decor.
Example: Princess Bookcase
I hope these suggestions and examples give you some ideas on how to create a pink princess theme room for your little princess!

When I was three, my parents let me choose the carpet in my new bedroom, in the house they were building. I chose HOT PINK SHAG.
That was 1973, and they just changed the carpet last year. Ugh.
So, your advice about not doing things that are too permanent (wall colors, carpeting) is well taken!

Yes! I had pink carpet and walls to boot, so I can’t tell you how much I hate the color LOL. I’ve posted this before, but I remember as a teen my friends would comment “wow is this a pink room”. =(
Ah yup, there will be no pink walls or carpet in this house!

Walls and floors. Making them anything but neutral is just asking for trouble. I sold real estate and saw some of the ugliest colors of carpeting and walls. Those were the homes that nobody wanted to buy.

I agree, paint adds so much to a room. Maybe even stencils on the walls would make a nice princess border as well. I have recently seen a princess shaped rug which would be perfect to cover up neutral flooring.
