Decorating Ideas for a Girl's Bedroom With Vinyl Lettering

Personalize

• Vinyl letters are an ideal option if you want to personalize your daughter’s room with her name. You can opt for large, block letters for a younger girl or a sophisticated, cursive style for a teen. The wall behind the bed is a good spot to add the name because it can help create a focal point for the room. You can even place vinyl letters that spell out your daughter’s name on the headboard itself if it is made from a smooth, non-porous material like wood or laminate. You can also place her name on other furniture items, such as a bookcase, dresser, cabinet or desk.

Inspirational Words

• In an older girl’s room, you can use vinyl letters to write inspirational words on the wall. Consider words like hope, faith, love and believe to create a thoughtful, positive feel for the room. For a subtle look, use medium-size vinyl letters and place the words along the top of the wall to create a border. You can use any color that you like for the lettering, but black or white letters provide a simple refined look. Pre-made inspirational words are available from many vinyl letter manufacturers, so you don’t have to go to the trouble of laying out and spacing the letters yourself.

Quotes

• You can also use vinyl letters to add a quote from a book or song to your daughter’s wall. For a young girl, a line from a nursery rhyme or children’s song may be a fun touch. However, an older girl may enjoy picking out a quote from her favorite author or a line from her favorite song to place on her wall. As with the inspirational words, you may be able to find some well-known quotes already laid out, so the application is extremely easy. However, you can also have quotes custom made with vinyl letters. Choose a wall where the letters will be visible and you have sufficient space to fit the quote. The wall above the bed is an ideal spot if you want to create a focal point for the room.

Travel Destinations

• For an older girl who is interested in traveling, use vinyl letters to turn her wall into a travelogue of all the places that she’s been - or hopes to go. To make the wall look like an old map, choose a pale yellow, sepia or tan colored paint that provides an antiqued look. Use brown or dark green vinyl letters to spell out the names of various cities like New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome. Beneath each city or country’s name, you can place a framed photo from your daughter’s trips or prints of famous scenery from the city.
