How to Decorate a Kid's Bedroom Around Lavender Walls

Paint the paneling of the lavender walls a color that will match with the rest of the decor you and your little one have chosen. For instance, if your little girl prefers pastel colors, choose a soft pink for the paneling, or paint the wall panels an ivory shade. You can easily switch the color to a deep gray or dark purple shade as she matures if she decides she wants a lavender room with neutral accents or a monochromatic theme.

Purchase bedding that accents the lavender walls. A princess-like theme calls for sheets, pillowcases or comforters with a white or purple rose print. Or, select modern-style bedding for older children in dark shades of purple or black and white to further emphasize the light purple walls. Alternatively, contrast the modest shade of purple with bright-colored bedding, such as throw blankets or pillows in hot pink or a comforter in an electric shade of purple.

Hang wooden letters on the walls that match the lavender walls. For instance, choose large letters in the shape of your child's initials in a deeper shade of purple than the walls. Or, paint designs like hearts, stars, stripes or polka dots on the letters to make them stand out.

Purchase a nightstand for the bedroom in white or off-white to place against the lavender wall and further emphasize the pastel theme of the space. Or, select a nightstand that matches the color in the bedding.

Choose a dresser in a lilac shade to blend with the lavender walls or in a neutral shade that complements purple, like classic white or slate gray.

Provide seating for the bedroom with bean bags. Your tween or teen may prefer white, black or purple bean bags, while a younger child will enjoy smaller bean bags in sunshine yellow or neon pink. All of these colors look particularly attractive against a lavender wall.

Complete the bedroom decor by adding curtains. For a monochromatic look, select lilac or aubergine curtains. Or, find them in an accent color, such as charcoal gray to match the nightstand or bright green to coordinate with the decorative pillows on the bed. Select lavender curtain ties to coordinate with the wall color.
