Ideas for a Little Girl's Bedroom with Paisley

Walls and Floors

• Paisley wallpaper and/or carpet can be hard to match to any other style if you end up redecorating when your little girl turns into a teenager. Simple wall and floor colors help make the paisley pattern stand out and make the room easier to redecorate in years to come. For example, cream walls and dark rose carpet form a warm background that pairs well with paisley and many other themes. White walls and burgundy carpet form a bold background that also works well with many themes.

Bed

• Go wild with pink paisley bedding to create a bed that any little princess will love. A basic white headboard and footboard, such as a white wood square or white wood rail design, provides a crisp frame to make the bedding stand out. Cream sheets, a paisley-trimmed pink bed skirt and a pink paisley comforter with matching pillows form a fancy appearance with a cheerful accent.

Bedroom Furniture

• Basic furniture for a girl's paisley bedroom looks best when it has only one or two colors and a simple design accented with the paisley pattern. A pale pink dresser with white knobs forms a simple piece you can decorate with a paisley picture frame or jewelry box. A nightstand with pink legs and a white tabletop complements a lamp with a paisley pattern or an alarm clock hand-painted with paisley shapes. A plain white toy box topped with paisley-patterned cushions adds useful storage and seating for any girl's bedroom. A white bookcase with hand-painted paisley shapes along the sides can work for storing books or you can use pink baskets on each shelf to store toys. A pink wood desk with white wicker drawers and a white wicker chair complements the other furniture while adding a hint of texture.

Window Treatment

• Too much paisley around a window can make the area seem cramped, but a light touch of paisley can add a little interest to the area. A white wood curtain rod with sheer white curtains provides a clean background for a hint of the pink pattern. Thin, pink paisley tab-top curtains hang along the sides of the window to keep from obstructing the view. A pink satin ribbon tieback secures each curtain in place and adds a hint of shine to the treatment.
