I wonder who and why decided that pink is the color of femininity? Probably we will never know about this. Taking a closer look at the shade, you understand that this “someone” was very right, because pink brings with it extraordinary tenderness, encourages dreams, fills life with romance and gives peace. The positive influence of color on a person’s emotional state has been carefully studied by scientists, and they have come to a stunning conclusion: the pink spectrum helps to cope with ailments. This was the impetus for the appearance of pink wards in many clinics and children's departments. This spectrum has also been used in residential interiors. A pink children's room for a girl will decorate any home. Moreover, mothers who decorate the nursery in pink will give a great mood not only to their little princesses, but will also greatly delight their older daughters.

When preparing a surprise for their daughter and planning to decorate her room in pink, many succumb to temptation and turn the room into some kind of house for Barbie. Pink reigns supreme in the background here, and the interior is filled with bows, ruffles, and flowers. This is not entirely correct, or rather, it is completely wrong. The problem is that you need to start cultivating individuality in a real lady and awakening a sense of taste, and not swagger, from a young age, and, therefore, the design of a pink children's room for such a special girl should be taken very seriously. What does it mean? This means that the room in which the girl will spend most of her time should look elegant and, of course, stylish. But these features must be applied incredibly subtly in the decor so that the nursery still remains childish, maintaining an aura of femininity. The contradiction seems insoluble. But is the mission impossible?
Children's room in cool pink tones
The pink color in a children's interior should not be sugary caramel at all. It shouldn't look like chewing gum either. The shade should be chosen exclusively in one that appeals to the baby. If a child likes the cool spectrum of pink, then this option should be implemented, however, only on the condition that the room is filled with sunlight most of the day. A pale pink cool tone can become the background and be embodied, for example, in wallpaper. If the desire to use warm creamy caramel tones is simply irresistible, then assign them the role of additional accents. Toys, a blanket, furniture upholstery, and children's drawings can be displayed in these colors in a cool pink children's room.

Finishes and materials
The walls in a gray nursery can be painted or covered with wallpaper. Graphics or stylish photo wallpapers with a monochrome pattern will look good on an accent wall: silhouettes of mountains, trees, city skyscrapers, etc. It is also appropriate to use combined wallpaper with beige, white or brown patterns. Neutral fabrics will be decorated with golden or silver patterns. Nowadays, geometric and floral prints are trending. By buying light and gray furniture, the walls behind it can be made darker and more contrasting.
For the floor in the children's room, choose natural wooden parquet, cork or an economical option in the form of laminate.
In a word, there is a large field for experimentation, the main thing is that the finishing does not contradict the general concept of the project and is made of safe materials.
Pastel pink nursery decor
An active child with explosive energy needs an interior decorated in special colors that could slightly suppress excessive excitement. A pastel pink shade works best for this because it can really calm and stabilize. It can be complemented by contrasting blue. This color goes surprisingly well with the pastel spectrum of the pink palette. Of course, in such a decor one cannot do without adjustments with white or beige colors, but, in general, pastel colors will provide the room with a lyrical mood, and toys, of which there should be a lot in such an interior, will help to emphasize it.

When a fairy tale comes to life
Every girl is a little princess. Where do princesses live? That's right: in the fantastic world of fairy tales.
Moon and stars: fairy-tale decoration for a little princess's bedroom
... But this does not mean that when decorating such a room you must necessarily put a ton of sparkles, mountains of cartoon characters, or play up the beds as palaces and carriages. A magic castle is not the only option for transforming a young lady’s room. Princesses of the 21st century dream of many things: try on the role of Superman, plunge into the underwater kingdom of mermaids, ride in a red Ferrari or fly on a rocket in their dreams.

Sometimes the best idea may be to spend all the money that could be spent on unnecessary little things on photo wallpaper with a 3D effect, where the entire wall will depict a wonderland, the underwater kingdom of Neptune, the roofs of a metropolis where Catwoman fights injustice, outer space and other things that your daughters like. Such wallpaper fits into almost any style, and if desired, they can even be “linked” with the classics - for example, they can be used to decorate a niche that could be covered at any time with a thick decorative curtain. And so, morning and afternoon, being in the atmosphere of the classics, in the evening a secret portal to other worlds opens.

“Green-pink, white-pink, gray-pink and pink-brown interiors cope well with children’s hyperactivity and at the same time do not make the decor of a pink children’s room for a girl overly “adult”
If, when arranging a room for a girl, you focus on combinations of bright pink colors and choose such a catchy shade as cyclamen, then you can forget about peace in the house. Your child’s internal energy will be in full swing, therefore, to avoid the effect of excessive dynamism, it is better to introduce cyclamen as a floor shade or in accent elements. Thus, during waking hours the child will be charged with energy, and in the process of falling asleep the girl will be surrounded by walls and ceilings decorated in calmer and neutral shades.

The influence of color on a child
For a girl, a pink room will become a place of relaxation, quiet games, creativity and thoughtful study. Color is a symbol of calm, maternal love and optimism; its influence gives the child a feeling of absolute comfort and security.
In many kindergartens, teachers hang soft coral curtains in bedrooms and playrooms to help children calm down and feel at home.
Pink combinations for a princess room
Looking at your baby, at her cute, doll-like face with delicate features and huge eyes, it is difficult to resist the desire to turn her into a real princess and create for her a room of unprecedented beauty and royal luxury. Whether to put a canopy bed in it or decorate it with a real carriage is a rhetorical question. In principle, if you are planning to change the interior in the next few years, then this will not be a hindrance, although by and large your baby does not need it at all. Rather, the parents themselves need such decor, because in their childhood there was nothing like this in their home. But when the girl grows up, she is unlikely to want to sleep on Cinderella’s bed. Therefore, if you plan to make the room relevant for many years, then make the presence of pink exclusively accent. In the meantime, in a pink children's room you can hang a colorful canopy in flowers and ruffles, which will perfectly complement the accent splashes of pink accessories . And also, there should be a lot of colorful toys in the children's kingdom. They will be the finishing touch to the decor.

Tips for decorating a pink nursery
“The lighting of a pink children’s room for a girl will also require special attention.”
The main advantage of this interior is the color. Shades of the pink spectrum will bring freshness and spaciousness to the room, which will be very useful, especially if the children's room is not large.
Considering the economic instability of our lives and the fact that even cosmetic repairs are now quite expensive, try to recreate the interior of a pink children's room for a little girl in a design that can easily “grow up” with its owner.

At the same time, high cost is not a reason to deprive the princess of the pleasure of painting walls and imagining. Let the characters of your favorite cartoons appear on them, and perhaps entire stories independently invented by your child. This will only contribute to the development of children's imagination and awaken creativity in the girl. You too can take part in this. It is enough to “let in” just a few ladybugs or butterflies on the walls of the rooms - and the incentive to complete the plot is ready!
When decorating a nursery, work only with environmentally friendly materials that have been certified. Do not forget that the child will spend the lion's share of time in this room. Children's health is absolutely not something worth saving on.

The lighting of a pink children's room for a girl will also require special attention. It must have a sufficient number of light sources. A glass chandelier with lamps that imitate candles will look great in this decor. It will be a very colorful addition and will give the room a truly palace look. On the little princess's bedside table there should always be a night light, which can look like a fairy-tale hero or some kind of plant. A separate lamp is installed in the place where the child will study.
When furnishing a children's room, do not be overzealous: in this room the main thing is to maintain space. The furniture present should be comfortable, practical, with many drawers and shelves. Furniture facades can be decorated with floral patterns, animal drawings and other cheerful pictures. It is better if these elements are made with vinyl stickers. This will make it possible to change them at any time or remove them altogether, radically changing the theme of the interior.

Decorative rock
You also need to choose the material that will be used to decorate the pink walls. Decorative stone is often used, which is called tiles made from natural stone or other materials, for example, gypsum or plastic concrete. Artificial stone is almost no different in appearance from natural stone.
In the interior, the material looks impressive. Plus, it suits a variety of styles. Decorative stone is rarely used as a base stone; it is combined with wallpaper and plasters.
The advantages of the material include:
- high strength;
- practicality;
- easy installation.
Tile adhesive is required for cladding. During installation, uniform joints and leveling of the tiles are not required. Therefore, the work is quite accessible for beginners.

Decorative plaster
You can make the walls pink using decorative plaster. Previously, it was a facade material, but now it is used to decorate the interior space. Common types include:
- Marble chips. It is glued together with adhesive components.
- Venetian plaster. This is a glossy finish that is quite difficult to work with.
- Textured plaster. Presented in the form of an elastic coating that can be given any texture.
This material is easy to apply. It can be chosen for surfaces of complex shapes. The coating will hide small unevenness in the wall. Plaster is suitable for different rooms, as it does not deteriorate from moisture and temperature changes.
Dye
Pink wall paint will allow you to decorate your room beautifully. It is advisable to choose a water-dispersed type. The advantages of this paint include:
- formation of a matte film;
- dries in a few hours;
- no odor;
- there are moisture-resistant paints;
- tinting;
- durability;
- possibility of repainting.
But the walls will need to be carefully prepared. Even small imperfections will be visible. According to reviews, this is a great way to decorate any room.
Plastic panels
This is also a popular material, suitable for home and apartment. The panels are moisture-resistant, durable, and are chosen for corridors, kitchens, and bathrooms. They are able to imitate different materials:
- tree;
- tiles;
- marble.
Therefore, panels are chosen for different interiors. They do not require rough finishing of the walls; they are easy to install. The material is also quite easy to clean. This is a budget option for updating a room.
To install panels without rough finishing, a frame is required. It can be done in the same way as for drywall. The main thing is that the profiles are placed across the panels. Often the frame is made of wooden slats. But this does not change the principle of its design.
Liquid wallpaper
This is a liquid material similar to decorative plaster. The composition of such wallpapers is different. Typically they consist of:
- cotton and silk fibers;
- cellulose;
- acrylic dispersion;
- dyes;
- plasticizers.
Due to the presence of silk and other fibers, this coating, after drying, is similar to fabric wallpaper. Their advantages are the same as those of decorative plaster. But liquid wallpaper deteriorates from moisture, but it can be reused. In this situation, they are soaked and removed from the surface of the walls. To make the wallpaper moisture resistant, they are coated with varnish. The only disadvantages include the high price.
