Bring the Magic Kingdom Home to Her With Disney Princess Room Decor

There's no shortage of Disney Princesses to inspire a little girl's custom theme bedroom. Here is a rundown of just some of Disney's most popular princesses and related elements of their magic kingdoms to help you design girls room decor that will delight the little princess who lives in your castle:

Snow White from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

ROM BEDS

A Snow White themed Disney princess room might have a foresty decor - with trees and floral meadows under a bright and yellow sunny sky, happy and friendly forest creatures like deer and bunnies dancing around, and let's not forget the seven lovable dwarfs. And don't forget the magic mirror on the wall to make sure she always knows that she's the fairest of them all.

Ariel from The Little Mermaid:

A Princess Ariel themed girls room decor would have an undersea design - with watery shades of blue punctuated by bubbles, and colorful coral. Ariel's oceanic friends - fish, crabs, and seahorses (among others) - can accent the room and flesh out the fantasy even further, either as a wall mural or wall hanging, area rug, or throw pillow. Speaking of throw pillows, seashells and clamshells would also make terrific throw pillow designs, as they would lampshades for a floor lamp or table lamp. You can even consider including a real live aquarium in the room so your little Ariel can share her love, and her kingdom, with her own vibrant sea life.

Cinderella from Cinderella:

A Cinderella themed Disney princess room decor would have your little girl feeling like the belle of the ball. Design the room like a ballroom, with an imitation parquet floor below her dancing feet and a fancy faux-chandelier casting sparkling light down upon her tiara. Flowing fabrics, reflective surfaces, and glittering accents all add to the aura of majesty and transformation redolent of this delightful fairy tale. Accents can include a glass slipper - perhaps as a lamp or a wall hanging - and a pumpkin coach - either as a beanbag chair, a papysan or other elaborate seating, as a unique wardrobe design, or even as the design for her custom bed at the room's centerpiece.

Princess Jasmine from Aladdin:

With a Princess Jasmine themed room design, you can give your little girl "a whole new world" to live in and make all her nights Arabian nights. Her walls or floor coverings could have the yellow and tan colors of rolling sand dunes, while you speckle the room with unique childrens furniture in the bright and vivid colors of a bustling marketplace. Just don't forget a magic lamp for her own private genie to live inside, and a magic carpet beneath her for her take a soaring ride through a dream-filled landscape any time she desires.

Pocahontas from Pocahontas:

A Pocahontas themed girls room decor would have a Native American flavor. Drawing inspiration from the old American southwest, you can use Native American rugs on the floor and on the walls as well. An eagle or hawk can fly overhead in the form of a mobile or a model or a wall hanging. Terra cottas, tans, browns and reds can mingle with a green landscape. A waterfall into a rolling river might make a great mural on one wall, while a tall stuffed toy horse stands in the opposite corner. Feathers, arrowheads, and petroglyphs all make excellent accents for this style of kids bedroom decor.

At the centerpiece of all of these rooms, whether your little girl prefers Snow White, Princess Ariel, Cinderella, Princess Jasmine, Pocahontas, or any of the other many inspiring princesses from Disney's fairy tales will be, of course, a custom girls bed to complete the fantasy made real. With such a custom theme bed as the hallmark of your little girl's Disney Princess room, she'll feel like royalty in her own magic kingdom awake and asleep, all day and all night.

The Ultimate Disney Princess Bedroom

Little girls and princesses... since the invention of the fairy tale, they go hand in hand. The magic of Disney has brought great princesses to life: Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The Disney Princess even reigns underwater: The Little Mermaid has brought the beautiful ocean and undersea world to life with the invention of princess Ariel. And while your daughter has the toys, the movies, the books and the accessories... nothing will compete with designing the ultimate Disney princess bedroom for her to lay her pretty little head down in. So let's get started!

Disney Princess room adornments are everywhere, and this is the good news. The bad news is that it can often be overwhelming, so you'll need to decorate smartly. From Disney Princess bedding to wall decor, from curtains and valances to beautiful rugs depicting Cinderella's magic castle... perhaps the most comprehensive and complete collection of Disney Princess bedroom decor can be found at a great website called Kids Decorating Ideas.

ROM BEDS

Wall Color - Begin planning your Disney Princess bedroom with the general wall color. Your main choices are pink and purple. Make sure you go with light pinks and lavenders, as these will open up the room and allow for better options later on when choosing complimentary princess wall decor. You can even work a two-toned effect: pink on top and lavender on the bottom with a thin white stripe or pretty lattice pattern marking the separation. For a fantasy feel, get creative and add wisps of puffy white clouds to the upper portion of the walls. Your daughter's princess bedroom should feel light and delicate right from the start.

Princess Bedding - There are a variety of companies that sell Disney Princess bedding. Choose between quilted comforters or satin/sheen type materials that allow prints to be silk-screened right onto the fabric. Individual princesses are available, so ask your daughter if she has a favorite. Other princess quilts feature several of the more famous princesses together, and these catch-all solutions can be cute as well. Above all else, choose bedding that compliments your wall color and avoid patterns or colors that clash.

Flooring and Area Rugs - Your Disney Princess bedroom should be a soft, luxurious place for your little girl to sleep and play. If you choose to carpet the room, go plush and high. Again you should pick colors that blend nicely with the walls, but you can offset softer colors with a slightly darker color floor for contrast. Whether you choose carpeting or not, you can add Disney Princess area rugs to strategic places in the room such as the foot of the bed. These rugs come featuring the princesses themselves, in silhouettes of Cinderella's castle, glass slipper circular rugs, and other beautiful choices. Find the shape, size, and color rug that fits your daughter's Disney Princess bedroom.

Furniture - While there may not be an abundance of Princess furniture, this is a good place to get away from the Disney theme for a minute. Beautiful scrolling finishes and beveled edges are what you should be looking for when buying a bedroom set. Sleigh beds and day beds and even four-poster canopy beds can all look fit for a princess if ornately yet practically detailed. Whites and off-whites will go nicely in any princess room, and you can even add finishes to certain pieces such as hand-painted scrollwork, tiaras, jeweled details and other royal themes. Remember that the rest of your room will contain many Disney Princess references - including the bedding - so non-themed furniture is not only okay, it's probably for the best.

Lighting - One of the advantages of a Disney Princess bedroom is choosing a beautiful chandelier to hang from the center of the room. Not only does add amazing style and lavishness to the room, it also helps save dresser and nightstand space where you might have used table lamps. Like with your furniture, a Disney made lamp isn't totally necessary. Any type of flowing, leafy, scrolling type chandelier will do. If your little girl loves all things sparkly, look for crystal accents. Check the color and style against the walls, floor, and furniture - find the one that feels just right.

Wall Decor - Now that you've got the majority of the room laid out, it's back to the walls again. There are some amazing Disney Princess wall murals, decals, and vinyl wall stickers that can totally transform your little girl's bedroom into a princess paradise! Use these decals to fill void spaces between furniture, and to create fantastic scenes in your Disney Princess bedroom. Wall borders featuring Disney's most popular princesses come in colorful, delicate, and girly-themed colors and patterns. Self-stick princess room applique sheets can be used to decorate any smooth surface - not only the walls but your lamps and furniture as well. Check out all your options and decide which ones are in keeping with your bedroom's colors and overall theme.

How To Create The Perfect Disney Princess Room

There's Snow White and Cinderella, Aurora (better known as Sleeping Beauty) and Ariel, there's Aladdin's Jasmine and the Beast's Belle. Role models for your little princess are everywhere she looks. Which is why it only makes sense to give her a bedroom that makes her feel like fairy tale royalty.

At the Heart of It All: The Bed

ROM BEDS

At the core of every princess's private chambers is her bed. A bed for a little princess might be (or look like) be a four poster bed, maybe a canopy bed, maybe both. Custom theme beds can be designed to look like anything you wish, and it is nowhere more apparent than in a princess themed bedroom.

Long flowing fabrics, plush pillows, satiny bedding, frilly lace borders - all of these help complete the image of bed fit for a princess. But with a custom theme bed, the fantasy doesn't stop there. For that bed can be placed behind a drawbridge inside a magnificent flower and vine covered castle or it can be placed inside a splendid horse-drawn carriage (pumpkin shaped or otherwise).

Whether you select a princess castle bed, a horse-drawn carriage bed, or a custom theme bed of some other design, the fact remains that your little girl will be elated to bed down at night and will wake up each morning feeling like the queen-in-waiting that she is.

Colors for a Princess Themed Bedroom: Pretty in Pink

Though purple and gold are considered royal colors, they would be better used as accents in a room dominated by the color that dominates most little princess's fantasies - pink. A pink castle bed, for example, will make any little princess's eyes sparkle. Pink bedding, pink window coverings, pink lighting fixtures, pink carpeting, and pink supplementary furniture all only complement and complete the picture.

Then consider using white highlights throughout the room to neutralize the impact of all that pink.

Murals Make it Easy

Both on the walls of the bedroom as well as on the walls of the custom theme bed, painted murals are an easy way to incorporate a wide array of fantastical elements into your little girl's fairy tale world. From her dashing prince or knight in shining armor to her animated attendants to all the extravagant accoutrements of a perfect princess fantasy, a simple brush and paint make magic-making easy.

Furniture for a Princess Themed Bedroom

A little princess always has to be looking her best, so an ample wardrobe and dressing table with mirror are the two essential furniture elements to add to any princess themed bedroom. You could go ahead and furnish each of these pieces separately with no trouble, but another option is to have a wardrobe and dressing table built in to her custom theme bed.
