Decorating a Girl's Bedroom

From Wake Up Frankie..

I'm working on a pre-teen girl's bedroom and we're making every effort not to completely soak it in pink, but instead to satisfy a girl's lust for that tough to work with color! We picked an upholstered headboard in a deep teal (see this post and pic in the middle of the post below for details) - a great foil for pink - and are pulling together other elements that are budget sensitive, practical and most of all - stylish!

We're foregoing the pink walls in favor of a soft teal. Sherwin Williams Waterscape (SW 6470), a great foil for touches of pink and and the other bright colors in the space.

Other elements include a night stand that adds some all important sparkle and a mirror over the dresser that echos that glitz and the lines of the headboard below. 

Bright color will come from accessories and accent pieces - especially pillows, lamps and chairs. Pottery Barn Kids, Pier One and Target are great sources for fun, well priced pieces.

Pillows are always a great way to inject color - all below from Pottery Barn Kids.

A cool and value priced lamp (again from Target) can continue the color theme in a graphic way.

Don't fear the pink room, just balance it with other colors, textures and prints at every opportunity!
