The stylish design of a bedroom for a girl of 10, 11 and 12 years old should be carried out taking into account all the needs of the child. Young ladies definitely need to allocate areas for sleeping and relaxing, learning and playing. Parents should pay special attention to the selection of high-quality finishing materials and reliable furniture. Depending on the area of the room, the layout and furnishings may vary. For example, it is recommended to equip tiny bedrooms with transformable beds or beds equipped with spacious drawers. When choosing a suitable color scheme, it is necessary to evaluate the harmony of popular combinations and their possibility of implementation in a specific room. Also, do not forget about stylish decor. The little housewife can make some decorations on her own using simple and interesting master classes.
Room decoration style
You can create a stylish and original room design for a 12-year-old girl using the following directions:
- Japanese. Lack of clutter, simplified layout and unusual design are the main advantages of the style. Anime fans will definitely like it.
- Classical. A universal solution that allows you to easily combine dark floor finishes and brightly colored walls. Can be complemented with different decor: paintings, embroidery, banners.

Interior styles
Classic
Furniture in a classic style will help demonstrate refined taste and instill in a girl a love of elegance. Delicate, light colors will set the grown-up princess in a dreamy but collected mood.
The undoubted advantage of classics is that they will never go out of style. This interior will last for many years without losing its relevance. This makes this style a practical choice.

Country
Country is a dreamy, pastoral style, which is the embodiment of the dream of a quiet life in a cozy forest house. The interior in this retro design evokes memories of a serene summer spent with my grandmother in the village.
Natural, woody colors, slightly antique furniture, an abundance of cute trinkets - all this is country. Accents are set by textiles. Patchwork blankets, airy lace tulle, bed linen and decorative pillows in small flowers create an atmosphere of sunny summer and carefree relaxation. The best materials are cotton, linen, chintz and wool. You should choose “natural” colors - warm milky, delicate tones of green, yellow and blue, deep coffee and olive.
To make country music look soulful and not old-fashioned, do not overload the room with an abundance of prints and small details.

Modern high-tech, minimalism, loft
Children's room in modern styles implies laconic forms, focus on practicality and bright accents against the backdrop of restrained color dominants. Such a room will appeal to a business-minded and purposeful girl with an active lifestyle.

Provence
Provence is called “French country” by some. In its tenderness it is similar to the classic one, but less “arrogant”, more good-natured, warm. At the same time, Provence is more refined than country - lace and elegant wrought iron furniture would be appropriate here. Accent colors are pale shades of blue, purple, turquoise, pink, white. Provence will appeal to romantic, dreamy and creative people.

Scandinavian style
Scandinavian style has recently become one of the most fashionable solutions. It is both minimalistic and cozy. Teenagers who quickly grasp trends will surely like it.
Its basis is white color, wood textures, laconic forms and a lot of light. Strict blue and white forms are perfectly diluted with nostalgic elements, for example, Viennese chairs or wicker armchairs. This style is similar to country, but more monochrome, restrained and “adult”.

Choice of colors
When choosing colors to style the bedroom of a ten-year-old girl, you need to move away from the usual pink color. You should definitely consult with the hostess herself and find out what color scheme she likes. The most suitable colors include:
- turquoise. Goes well with white, light sand colors. Promotes focused learning, creating a calm atmosphere.
- green. Well suited for a girl's bedroom in light green and olive shades. Will contribute to a comfortable rest and learning for the child.
- lilac. In combination with purple and white, it creates a cozy and fabulous atmosphere.
- cream. A universal option that can become a basis. It can be complemented by any tones: lilac, light green, light yellow, orange.
- coral. An excellent replacement for pink color. Allows you to make your living space warmer and more comfortable.
Ideal nursery: main aspects
An ideal children's room should be:
- safe for health
- practical,
- attractive in appearance.
Safety will be ensured by the correct choice of finishing materials, furniture, and accessories. For finishing you need to choose exclusively natural, hypoallergenic materials. When purchasing building materials, be sure to check the quality certificates.
High-quality, functional, durable furniture will ensure a comfortable stay in the room. The room should not be overloaded with unnecessary items. The interior should contain a minimum of breakable and fragile materials.
When decorating a room, use natural materials
There should be enough natural light in the room
The space should be visually attractive. This will help develop a refined taste in your baby from a very early age. To do this, it is important to choose the right interior style, guided by the age and characteristics of your child. Style maintained in every detail will create a pleasant atmosphere and harmonious space around.
Important! The emergence of a separate space is a new step towards growing up. You can start grafting yourself from the moment of repair. Involve your daughter in the process. Let her make her own decisions, help choose interior items, and show her imagination.
Everything in the room must be perfect
For the bedroom, girls often use bright and contrasting colors
Take care of the play area
Finishing and choice of materials
When carrying out renovations in the bedroom of a future lady, it is important to take care not only of the originality of the decoration, but also of its practicality. The main requirements for the selected materials include:
Easy to clean | The teenager will do the cleaning on his own, so the finish should be easy to clean from dirt. |
Environmental friendliness | A very important factor when arranging premises where children will spend their rest and study. |
Excellent wear resistance | For children twelve years old, playing games with friends is common. Therefore, floor finishing and wall finishing should easily retain their original appearance after active recreation. |
Parents can choose any expensive materials: relatively older children will be more careful with the created environment.
Floor
For rooms where teenagers will live and spend their leisure time, it is recommended to choose wooden flooring. The best solution would be to lay floorboards or parquet. Such materials will create a comfortable atmosphere. Their main advantage is environmental friendliness. A less expensive option would be laminate. It is advisable to choose materials of light brown, sand color. It is permissible to lay coverings with a gray-brown or gray tint (suitable for rooms with coral and lilac tones). An attractive solution would be to lay marmoleum. This material will keep the floor warm even in cold winter. The variety of colors of dense raw materials allows you to lay it out in different patterns: from squares with checkerboard laying to ornate patterns. The cheapest option is considered to be linoleum.
Walls
The most popular option for decorating the premises where the young lady will live is wallpaper. They can include discreet patterns, have a monochromatic design, or be complemented with relief ornaments. If desired, you can choose 2-3 types of materials with a similar style. They will help you easily and simply carry out zoning and highlight different parts of the room.
For example, the head of the bed can be highlighted with a bright or dark finish. With their help, you can unusually emphasize the recreation area and games. But the work area must be located against the background of a neutral finish. It is allowed to paint the walls and add artistic painting to them. However, it is worth remembering that over the years the selected images should remain relevant. Therefore, it is worth moving away from the theme of fairy-tale creatures and cartoon characters. They can be perfectly replaced with images of flowers, nature, and animals.
Ceiling
A whitewashed ceiling will help to complement the selected wall and floor decoration in an original way. If parents want to stylize this part of the room in an unusual way, they should pay attention to stretch fabrics. Whitewashed materials and fabric with a matte surface will succinctly complement the overall look. For original styling, it is recommended to choose materials with a glossy surface. A combination of white and purple, light green, light yellow canvases is allowed. With their help, you can visually divide the room into several parts.
It is not recommended to use brighter materials: they will distract the child’s attention. Similar plasterboard structures will help replace suspended ceilings. They may include several tiers and have different colors.
When choosing a non-standard ceiling, you need to take into account the change in wall height. Thus, stretch fabrics can “remove” 5-10 cm. Multi-level plasterboard ceilings usually reduce the height of the walls by 10-15 cm.
Room design for girls at different ages
Children's room for a girl 3-5 years old
At this age, girls simply like everything bright and the brighter the better. But remember that they will pass this age very quickly, and completely redoing the design of a nursery is expensive. We use old tactics - neutral decoration and furniture, bright toys and accessories.
Children love to play on the floor, so the flooring should be warm, soft and easy to care for. For the play area, you need to leave more space, not cluttered with unnecessary objects.
A little girl's room should not have long-pile carpets, heavy curtains, or too many soft toys. These items collect dust, and it is at an early age that chronic respiratory diseases develop. This is not a strict requirement, just don’t go overboard with dust collectors.
Children's room for a girl 6+ years old
School start age. We set up a study area with a desk and bookshelves. Little fashionistas need a spacious closet to store things, since there can be a lot of them, because in addition to everyday clothes, there is a uniform for school. If there is enough free space in the room, then a relaxation area can be arranged for receiving guests by placing a soft ottoman, an armchair or a set of a small table and chairs. A toy storage area is still needed.
At this age, children cannot be torn away from their devices - they literally grow into tablets. It is not advisable to prohibit it, but we advise you to establish rules about this.
Room for a girl from 8 years old
Significantly different from a little girl's room. Games and dolls are being replaced by new hobbies, which parents do not always understand and share. This is the most important stage in growing up, on which the formation of friendly and trusting relationships between the child and parents depends.
I advise you to try to understand and hear your child without trying to correct her behavior too harshly. In design, you can completely entrust the design to the girl, helping only with advice. This will simultaneously teach you some independence and save you from complaints and headaches.
Don’t be afraid to let the occupant of the room “steer” the design, it teaches responsibility!
There is no place for cartoon characters, dolls or toys in a grown-up room. Although the love for soft toys can remain for many years even in an adult girl.
Girls at any age are interested in decorating the world around them. Don't miss out on the fun of taking part in the design of your room.
And believe me, even if your grown-up daughter wants to cover the entire room with posters of performers you don’t know, it’s better not to resist. Perhaps she doesn’t need these posters as much as she needs to rebel a little, and your resistance will only increase their number! Plus, even scribbling can look cool! Don't believe me?
Save and share - it will come in handy!
What should be the lighting in a nursery?
If there is insufficient daylight, it is recommended to install auxiliary lighting for the area located on the side opposite the window opening. It will allow you to properly illuminate the room in the early morning and in the evening. It is recommended to choose several flat ceiling chandeliers as the main lighting fixtures or give preference to spotlights. The learning area should be complemented by lighting or a bright table lamp. It is recommended to install a couple of floor lamps on the sides of the bed and hang wall lights. The recreation area will be well illuminated by sconces and spots. Additionally, you can install lighting near the closet and bed. Also, small neon cords can be placed above the headboard, near the sofa. They will help create a cozy atmosphere and can be used instead of a night light.
Wardrobe for clothes, for books
The wardrobe also occupies one of the main positions in the girl’s room. Depending on the age, it is supplemented with stickers of cartoon characters, flower appliqués or other patterns. A functional solution is mezzanines where seasonal items are stored.
- A bookcase with shelves is convenient because it can accommodate not only books, but also board games, boxes with small construction kit parts, and a small doll corner.
- Wall shelves or a light plastic chest of drawers will replace a closet in a small room.
A girl needs a small folding table and chairs for creative activities and doll tea parties. Later it will be replaced by a study table or a student’s corner.
Zoning and layout of rooms depending on area
To ensure that the interior of a room for a 10-year-old girl is rational, parents are advised to draw up a zoning scheme before arranging the room. A sleeping, relaxing and learning area will be essential for a comfortable stay. It is recommended to add other zones as needed, based on the shape and area of the living space. For example, in a spacious bedroom you can install a sports machine or wall. They will help the young lady do fitness and maintain her physical health. If possible, you should allocate an area for relaxation and communication with friends. It will be perfectly complemented by a sofa, a coffee table and a pair of armchairs. It is also recommended to install a music center nearby. It is recommended to allocate space for installing living plants. They can be located on the windowsill, bedside table.
Children's room 10 sq. m
In a tiny room intended for living, studying and relaxing for a young lady, you need to make maximum use of the free space on the walls. All educational materials and books can be placed on hanging shelves. You can place a teaching table along the window sill. On either side of it you can install a rack for souvenirs, decor and books, or a wardrobe. The bed should be installed parallel to the organized table, leaving enough space between these areas for movement. A folding sofa placed perpendicular to the table can replace the bed. The remaining free part of the room is perfect for games with friends or independent games, dancing for a young lady.
It is better to choose several thematic paintings as decor for tiny rooms. It is not recommended to overload the style with volumetric elements.
Children's room 15 sq. m
In a medium-sized nursery, it is recommended to make maximum use of the space along the walls. For example, on the right, parents can install a bed and a chest of drawers, a dressing table or a sofa. On the left there will be a training area and a closet with the young lady's things. No less interesting is the option with the location of the recreation area, work area and bed on one side. A combined set will allow you to achieve a compact arrangement of all these elements. In it, the bed and study table represent the overall design. A wardrobe and a sofa can sit well next to the assembled model. On the opposite side you can install a small wall for storing books, magazines and figurines. It can be complemented by a TV and stereo system. Between the two parts of the room you can lay a small stylized rug.
Children's room 18-20 sq. m
Spacious living spaces are much easier to arrange than small rooms. Therefore, it is recommended to leave the central part free. While meeting with friends, the owner will be able to play and dance. It is recommended to place a bed or wardrobe in the far corners. A spacious mini-wardrobe will contribute to the development of good stylistic taste in a young lady. Next to the bed you can install a desk or computer table and a bookcase. This area is ideal for learning and convenient storage of educational materials, favorite books and magazines. On the opposite side it is recommended to install a stereo system, a sofa, a coffee table and armchairs. They are ideal for spending interesting free time with friends or alone. Next to the recreation area you can place a sports wall or exercise equipment. Such a room can be complemented with any decor.
Options for visual expansion of a small bedroom
The simplest option for expanding space in a small room is to choose materials with horizontal or vertical stripes. For example, for a girl’s nursery, parents can choose a plain wall decoration with large vertical lines complemented by patterns. A large drawing on the wall with paint or ready-made photo wallpaper with views of the ocean, sea, or cityscape will help to visually increase the depth of the room. Dividing the wall horizontally with a border will allow you to raise the ceiling and at the same time make the wall larger. It is recommended to make the lower part darker: gray, sand, light brown or brown. Fixing a pair of floor-to-ceiling mirrors with a width of about 40-50 cm will help to unusually increase the height of the walls. They can also be replaced with white columns made of foam plastic or plaster. Finishing one wall with white brick panels (large in size) will also contribute to the visual expansion of the space.
Decorating a small bedroom and options for visual expansion
A small room is a big challenge for designers, especially when it comes to a children's room for a teenage girl. You need to place mountains of girlish clothes, toys, school supplies, and allocate a place for sleeping, studying and creativity. And, of course, you don’t want to stumble at every step and bump into furniture.
First of all, in a limited space, take care of functional furniture. Instead of a regular bed, put a bed with drawers and shelves; instead of a regular table, put a computer desk with a bookcase and a pull-out panel for writing.
Help to visually expand the space:
- light and cold shades of walls and ceilings, warm and bright colors steal the space;
- small wallpaper patterns and vertical stripes - expand and lengthen the room;
- a lot of artificial light (from a safety point of view, lighting around the perimeter of the ceiling is ideal);
- a large mirror is simply a necessary interior detail for a young fashionista;
- 3D wallpaper or 3D ceiling will add depth to the room.
Do not forget that the correct arrangement of furniture also affects the freedom of space. Use niches and every available nook and cranny in the room. Move tall, bulky furniture to the background. Under no circumstances should you block the window with heavy objects (cabinets, chests of drawers) or block the light in the room.
Furniture selection
The selection of furniture should begin with drawing up a plan where the different zones will be located. A simple plan will help you easily determine the acceptable dimensions of the models. Particular attention should be paid to the workplace and resting place. The bed can be a standard single bed. Or you can replace it with a stylized model with a beautiful canopy. If there is a niche in the room, then it is recommended to build a wardrobe with a mirror into it.
If parents decide to choose a free-standing wardrobe, then a small sofa and a bedside table can be placed in a niche. This place is ideal for relaxing, playing and reading books. A desk or computer desk must be supplemented with drawers. You can hang shelves for books separately. Such organization of the workspace will help the child easily prepare for lessons at school. If the room is large, you can install a separate bookcase. A small dressing table and a designer clothes rack can also complement the decor in an original way.
Zoning
The room can be divided into several sections:
- Work and study. This is a place where the child will do homework and be creative. It will be better if this section is located near the window. There should be enough artificial lighting in this area. A desk with drawers and a comfortable chair with a reclining back are the optimal solution for this department.
- Sleeping and rest area. There is a comfortable bed or a folding sofa here. You can place a bedside table with a night lamp nearby.
- Wardrobe area. It is advisable for a closet to have several sections to store different types of things: those that can be hung and those that can be folded.
- "Beauty Zone" In this place it is better to place a dressing table with a large mirror. At the age of 10, the girl already begins to pay more attention to her appearance and is interested in makeup and hairstyles.
To divide the space, different colors, lighting, screens, and a certain arrangement of furniture are used.
Most children's rooms have a small area of 10–12 square meters. meters, so multifunctional furniture would be an excellent solution. For example, combining a sleeping and study area. Zoning ideas are presented in the photo below.
How to decorate a window in a nursery
The window opening in the room where the young lady will live should be designed in an original and stylish way. Austrian and Roman blinds will cope with this task perfectly. Ordinary canvases in light colors can visually brighten the space. They need to be supplemented with transparent light tulle. In spacious rooms, you can choose models with a flat lambrequin. It will help to beautifully highlight the opening. For stylization, it is recommended to add tiebacks to the canvases or install hooks on the walls that will support them during the daytime. When arranging a window on the attic floor of a private house, you should choose original roller blinds or Roman blinds. They will be fixed along the glass, carefully lowered and raised. Day-night models will provide good shading at any time of the day.
Handmade decor elements for a girl's nursery
A teenager can emphasize the originality of the decor in a renovated bedroom with his own hands. The simplest option would be to make pictures with appliqués. To work you will need to choose silhouettes of animals, ballerinas, butterflies. Further work on creating jewelry is carried out as follows:
- Selected images are printed on single-color sheets;
- The silhouettes need to be cut out and each of them glued to a separate white sheet;
- Place the prepared decor in frames and hang on the walls.
Images and full-fledged paintings embroidered with ribbons, beads, crosses will also help to stylishly complement the decor. They can be framed or fixed in a hoop. Large paper flowers and tissue paper pompoms of different sizes can decorate the room in an unusual way. Above the bed you can hang a paper or felt banner with the name of the hostess.
Decor
Decor is that little thing that gives the design of a room a complete look. It is the little things that create the atmosphere of a nursery. You can diversify the interior of a girl’s room in different ways, here are some of them:
- A board for children's drawings where a girl can hang her new creations. As you get older, old childhood drawings will become a source of inspiration, helping you compare your skills then and now.
- You can easily make colored garlands on walls or curtains with your own hands from paper. This simple and unpretentious decoration is quite suitable for the room of a 9-10 year old girl.
