  Decorating a girl's bedroom takes time and effort, but the end result is often a tastefully decorated room that reflects the inhabitant's personality and hobbies. There are many options possible when decorating a girl's room, so take the time to consult with the girl in question to learn what features please her.
  
  

Mirrored Wall

• A mirrored wall is ideal for a girl who engages in dance or any other type of physical activity where form is important. A mirrored wall also creates the illusion of more space in the room. If a fully mirrored wall is not possible, hang small mirrors all over the wall to catch the light and create some visual variety.
  
  

Themed Bedroom

• A themed bedroom is perfect for a girl with a strong interest in a particular hobby or time period, but hold back on making any structural changes that might make the room more difficult to change later. A tea party-themed room can use light lace curtains on the windows, homey rugs on the floor and Alice in Wonderland prints on the wall. Conversely, a girl who loves horses might use framed pictures of famous racehorses on the wall, coils of rope hung up on the doors and rough wood furniture to offer a more rustic appeal.
  
  

Stenciled Border

• One way to give a room some visual variety without painting it is to create stenciled borders. Stencils allow you to place a detailed border around the room near the ceiling. These borders may be specific designs or more geometric in nature. There are a wide variety of stencils available at craft stores, so choose a stencil theme that will suit the room's inhabitant. You can also stencil accents onto doors and the furniture in the room for a more unified effect.
  
  

Accent Walls

• Accent walls are given a feature that makes them stand out from the other walls in the room while still complementing them. For a girl who loves purple, paint the entire room a pale shade of lavender and paint the accent wall a shade of purple that is two shades darker. Similarly, paint the accent wall a very vibrant shade while painting the other walls white. This gives the room a suffusion of color without making it feel small or claustrophobic.
