My goddaughter Alessandra, 5, is in the process of getting a big girl room. She is super excited about it, and I am excited for her. Most of the furniture has already been purchased, so I thought I would put together an inspiration board for the decorative elements in the room.
Alessandra has quite the colorful personality. She is smart as can be, has strong opinions and has a huge loving heart. She has a vivid imagination (think rainbows and unicorns) and is constantly twirling and talking. My goal with the decorative elements was to make the room really celebrate who she is.
Her parents started by purchasing the Lilac Bed from PB Teen. Their thought was to buy something that could grow up with her.
Next came the bedding. Alessandra chose the Princess and Pea Bedding from Land of Nod. Such a good choice! I especially like that there a bunch of other colors in there to play with. Oftentimes, little girls want pink and/or purple, which can quickly become be a little too sweet, if you know what I mean. However, if you bring out some of the other colors, you can help balance that. Her parents also used the bedding to choose the wall color, which they had lightened by 50%.
One key element in the room that I think will make the room extra special is applying gold stars on the ceiling. I love these star decals from Urban Walls. I have them on the back of my bookcase in my office. It’s a very inexpensive way to make an impact.

Below is the board I put together for Alessandra. I tried to really reflect Alessandra’s imagination, creativity and boldness. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
gold print / star decals / bow hook / owl hardware / flower print / bedding / lamp / bed / chair / nightstand / hoop art / rug / drapes
I am looking forward to seeing this room come together for this special little girl in my life! If you have any questions or would like me to create an inspiration board for a room in your house, get in touch with me.
