Decorating a Little Girl's Room on a Low Budget

My family and I recently moved to a 1,200 square foot three-bedroom townhouse, and I didn't want to spend a small fortune or invest a lot of effort in decorating a home that wasn't really mine. The following provides information on how I decorated my little girl's room on a low budget, and how I transformed her bedroom into a special abode. My little girl's bedroom is somewhat small, but it isn't lacking in comfort or character. I enjoyed decorating her bedroom and turning it into a special place just for her.

Begin With the Walls

Paint is cheap, and if you live in a home you're allowed to paint, give the bedroom walls a fresh new coat of color. I am allowed to paint the walls of my rented townhouse apartment, but I didn't want to. I'm living in a townhouse apartment so I don't have to paint or do any type of maintenance. Instead I opted to purchase peel and stick Disney Princess decals for my little girl's room. I was easily able to afford the 4 sheets of princess appliques, even on a low budget. For less than $15, these appliques made decorating my child's bedroom extremely easy, and she loves the fanciful decorating on one wall, around the light switch, and on the door. The appliques add a bit of magic to her room, and they can be easily removed and reapplied if I should decide on using them for decorating other surfaces.

Stuffed Animal Décor

My little girl's stuffed animals are some of her favorite toys, and they're also great for decorating when on a low budget. If you're working with a low decorating budget and don't want to invest in shelving, consider buying an extra large pet net. Wal-Mart sells a low-cost pet net that easily attaches to hooks anchored into corners. This is a great way to store seldom used stuffed animals, and it's a fantastic decorating accessory for any little girl's bedroom.
