Girl's Bedroom Ideas With Blue Paint and Zebra

Create a girly getaway with zebra patterns and shades of blue; you can use these colors and patterns as accents, or redo the entire room in this style. If the girl in question tends to change her mind a lot about decorating styles, consider making changes that are not permanent; a zebra rug is easier to switch out than a hand painted zebra-patterned floor or wall, for example. Black and white accessories and accents in a solid color will work in this room well. Expand your decorative options by collecting plain black and white pieces from all over your home and including them in the blue zebra room.
  1. Colors

    • Choose classic zebra prints in black and white; this pattern is eye-catching and available in all different types of decorative accents. For a different look, recreate the zebra pattern in blue and white or black and blue, choosing the look you like best. Consider using black and white zebra fabrics as a base pattern for bedding and pillows, then attaching cobalt blue marabou trim or baby blue chenille trim to soften the look and make it more girly.

    Walls

    • Paint the room in your favorite shade of blue, or use two colors, a light blue for the walls and a bright blue for the trim. Paint one wall white, and then cover with black zebra stripes for big impact. Look for zebra-patterned vinyl clings and decorator papers to add temporary zebra stripes to the walls. Vinyl clings can be stuck to regular painted walls, windows or a vanity mirror for a glamorous touch of zebra print on any vertical surface.

    Vanity Table

    • Make the most of the glam combo of zebra stripes and blue and decorate a vanity table and chair to be a focal point for the room. Paint the table blue, then use zebra-patterned accent boxes to store makeup and accessories. Cover the chair seat with a zebra print fabric, and accent with bright blue fringe or pompom trim. Round out the set with mirrors and lights for a feminine zebra room accent that is both fun and useful.

    Furnishings

    • Look for white furniture pieces that can be embellished with black paint and given a quick zebra makeover; if you don't want to make a huge commitment, use black gaffer's tape to make the stripes, then remove them when the zebra fad has passed. Purchase a fluffy zebra rug for the room; choose one that looks like real zebra skin or one that is a regular rug with a zebra print. Choose premade zebra bedding and add extra trim to make it more girly or to match the blue used in the rest of the room. Solid blue sheets will also work well and add a burst of color to a zebra print comforter.
