How to create the ultimate princess bedroom

Whether your little princess loves pink and sparkles or dinosaurs and dragons, this blog will take you through the steps to consider when creating her perfect princess bedroom.

1. Find a kid’s bed fit for a princess

Princesses have evolved over the years and they are now stronger, feistier and braver than ever. It’s therefore important that their bed is not only beautiful but strong too – it needs to cope with bed jumps, karate kicks and crazy dance moves. We’re nominating our Princess Single Bed for this one – made from super strong wood, and built to stand the test of time, this elegantly crafted bed is perfect for your little royals. Plus, this bed comes with the option to add Under-Bed Storage Drawers (for treasures and tiaras), or a Trundle Bed for those VIP sleepovers.

2. Add the perfect backdrop – wallpaper and wall murals!

Sometimes one colour just isn’t enough to take your little princess to the land of adventures, so be sure to consider not only wallpaper but wall murals too. For the pink loving princesses, we love this pink swan wallpaper and Pink Starry Night Wallpaper, but you can browse the full range at The Children’s Furniture Company here.

3. Add some sparkle and fairy lights

There’s something very magical about fairy lights! Whether you make a beautiful display, or wrap them around the bed (our Holly Four Poster Bed is ideal for this!), the options are endless and it’s a relatively cheap and simple way to add some sparkle to your child’s princess bedroom. We recommend fairy lights with copper wire – not only is it pretty, but it also holds its shape if you want to wind it around some furniture. For more traditional lighting, you can browse The Children’s Furniture Company’s lighting range.

4. Add a special princess chair

A princess needs somewhere to sit in her bedroom, whether it’s to create a new hairstyle, or read the latest adventure story. There are lots of options for children sofas & chairs, all in lots of beautiful colours and designs, perfectly proportioned for little people. A more royal choice would be our Chaise Lounge, available in 5 colours, or the Children’s Fabric Chair available in pink and grey. The Children’s Furniture Company offers a wide variety of children’s seating options, from sofas and bean bags to sofa beds and armchairs. You can check out their full range here.

5. Add the finishing touches – accessories and soft furnishings

You’re almost there! Make sure you consider accessories when you are completing your ultimate princess bedroom. Matching bedding & curtains is always a great choice! One of our favourite is the Rainbow Unicorn Bedding Set, with the matching Rainbow Unicorn Curtains. Other accessories to consider are mirrors, clocks and doorstops. You can browse the full range of accessories at The Children’s Furniture Company here.

6. Finally – choose some good books

By now your princess’s bedroom probably looks the part, but she might need some princess inspiration! We’ve pulled together a list of books we believe feature tales of the best heroins, perfect for inspiring children to be kind, brave, to dream big and to believe in themselves. Once you’ve found a good Bookcase, we suggest adding these to it’s shelves:

• Matilda by Roald Dahl
• The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
• The Northern Lights Trilogy by Philip Pullman
• Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery
• Little Women by L M Alcott
• Mary Poppins by P L Travers
• The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis
