Decorating A Small Bedroom – Little Girl’s Room
It’s makeover reveal day!
Y’all, I am so excited about this space! If you recall a few weeks ago I shared the before of my daughter’s room. I was really nervous about decorating a small bedroom because we need lots of storage without feeling cramped. The room was half nursery/half toddler’s room and lacked character. Well, all that has changed now!
When I was preparing to decorate her small bedroom I wanted it to be a space that she could grow into, something cute and girly but still a little sophisticated. I played around with a lot of different color schemes before settling on the bright pink with gold accents and it turned out to be perfect for this space!
Before we jump into the new look let’s take a quick peek at what it looked like before.
Yikes right?!
Now for the after!
(!!!)
This whole room truly was a labor of love. This space is a very small bedroom so I wanted to add a lot of color and texture to take the focus off it’s small size. The first thing we did was paint the room. As you can see in the before, the color of the room did nothing for the space. It was really bland (which is what you would expect in a rental). We made the decision to paint the room a beautiful shade of gray. To help me with color selection, I used the Chip It!® tool, which instantly transforms any picture into a paint palette using more than 1,500 Sherwin-Williams paint colors. I decided on SW 7023 Requisite Gray, it’s from the Softer Side Color Collection in the HGTV HOME™ by Sherwin-Williams collection. Don’t you love it?
On one wall we opted for these fun doggy decals instead of painting.
P loves dogs so it was the perfect fit for her space.
RUGS! I couldn’t wait to throw down a rug to cover up the gray carpet. love this yellow trellis rug. It has a hint of gold that ended up being perfect for the look I was going for. I layered it with this white shag rug that was already in her room. I think it gives it a more luxurious feel.
And this little diva needed a fabulous bed to go with her new space! I can’t wait to show you how we DIYed this upholstered headboard!
And can we talk about that pouf? I found it at Target on clearance and the colors are perfection.
We ended up using the same dresser and just painted it again. I’m super attached to it because it was the first piece of furniture we bought for her when I was pregnant so I hope to keep it for many years to come. The color is SW 7004 Snowbound. I thought it might be too big now that she has the twin bed but I think it works nicely.
And check out where the mint nightstand
ended up!!! She got placed in here after I started making changes in my master bedroom. I didn’t want to use it in the master, but I also wasn’t ready to get rid of it. I’m so glad I didn’t because it fits in perfectly in the little girl’s room.
It’s officially my favorite room in the house. Peighton, if you’re looking for me I’m probably hanging out in your room 😉

ok that looks so stinkin’ good! that poof is perfect, i would totally have thought you made that. oh, and my kitchen totally needs a brighter paint. thanks!
This bedroom turned out SO beautifully! I am sure your daughter LOVES it! I need to makeover my craft room and definitely have my eye on some SW paint colors so I would love to win this.
I certainly love it, Peighton on the other hand can’t get past how neat the doggies are 🙂 Knowing how beautiful the rest of your house is Sarah, your craft room is sure to be stunning when completed!
Aw. It does look just perfect! I like your grey you picked! I waffled on that one. The details are wonderful. The dogs, the p-dots. Love. It. All.
Why is picking a gray so tough?? I really love this one though! Thank you so much for stopping by, Shannon!! You are the sweetest!
I would definitely repaint my preschoolers’ room. They are moving into the same room this week, and we are making it the “cool” room.
Gorgeous! I love everything about this. I am dying to redo our guest room. It was a paint match fail and my husband doesn’t want to pay to redo it. It is at the top of my list!! *fingerscrossed

So sophisticated and sweet! I love the paint color and the decals on the walls! I also LOVE the silhouettes of the animals and the pretty bedding! What a lucky lady!!! 😉
Thank you friend, so glad you like it!!
I love this room, Chelsea! The colors are just perfect! The gray walls are the perfect backdrop for that wowza pink. Just love it. And I’m still trying to figure out which wall in my house is getting covered in gold doggy decals. Is it weird that the pink pillow with the gold stripe across the middle is one of my favorite parts of the room? Did you make it? Annnnnd – If I won the giveaway (fingers crossed!) I would be painting my Master Bedroom which needs a makeover bad.
Right? Every home needs doggy decals NOW! It just makes everything so happy. And yes I made the pillow – super easy DIY!
Such a pretty and fun room! I looooooove the pink pom pom trim on the curtains and lamp. And I’d love hanging out in this room, too 😉
I would for sure want to makeover my bedroom with Sherman Williams paint. That room has been on the back-burner for so long because I’ve focused so much on every other room in my place! Painting an accent wall in the room has been on my mind for a while now.
What’s a girl’s room without a few pom poms right? Thank you so much Amy!!
This turned out beautifully! Totally sophisticated but perfect for a little girl! I love it! The polka dots are gorgeous and I love that gray!
As for the room I’d makeover with some paint… it’s be Drew’s room or the living room once the new drywall goes in there this summer!!!
Thank you so much Jen! xo
What a beautiful makeover! I’m in love with the colors you chose. For the giveaway – I’d make over my laundry room. It desperately needs some love.
Thank you so much, Kayla!! I know you will do wonders in that laundry room! Hugs!
Well, this was a home run room reveal! Just the perfect amount of color and the perfect amount of neutrals. I’m in love with so many items, the wall decals are to die for. The pink poms on the curtains! And that poof is perfection, what a great Target find. Can’t wait to see the DIY down low on the headboard, too. Great work!
You are so sweet!! Thanks so much Amy! I can’t wait to share the headboard – it’s probably one of my favorite projects ever!
It looks so beautiful Chelsea!! Wow- I love the yellow rug and the pompom trimmed drapes… amazing headboard – I can’t wait to see the DIY. You truly did a fabulous job, friend. She must just LOVE it!!
Thank you so much friend! At two she really could care less about anything other than the doggies on the wall and the animals. ha. But she does love her big girl bed!
Oh my! My little girl would absolutely LOVE this! So precious and I love the splash on hot pink in there. Cute Cute Cute!!!
Thanks Leigh Anne!! Gotta have pink 🙂

Love, love, and more love!! Peighton is one lucky little lady! The colors are awesome, and I love the paint you chose! Fabulous, fabulous job, my friend! Pinning!
~Abby =)
Thank you Abby! It was really fun to make a room that fit her personality perfectly!
My little boy is not so little anymore and while he would never ask, I know he would love to have a room reflecting his love for the Seahawk colors! He is seven and does everything with passion, including GO HAWKS!
Oh my gosh I LOVE it! Will you come do my room? My bedroom desperately needs a makeover!
Thank you!! It’s currently the best room in the house – I’m hoping to finish up my room next… priorities!
This is GORGEOUS Chelsea!!! Makes me want to be a little girl again just so I can have this adorable room!
or you can have a little girl…. just saying! <3 <3
You did such a wonderful job Chels! I love the new room. The colors are perfect!
Thank you so much, T!!! I’m happy it’s done and I love admiring it!
I love, love, love this room – I want it for myself! I love the wall color and am dying over that headboard!! Awesome job, Chelsea!
I want it for myself too! Once it was finally done I told her, if you ever can’t find mommy she’s probably hanging out in your room. ha.
Chelsea! There are no words for how much I love this room. The wall decals, the pops of fuchsia. LOVE IT! Pinning and sharing!
awww, yay!! So glad you like it, Tasha! We are loving it too – perfect for my daughter because she’s full of personality!
Wow, this looks amazing, girl! Everything is perfection. Love the paint color 😉
Hugs,
Jamie
Thank you so much!!
I need to makeover my living room because there is no paint or pictures on the walls. Winning this gift card would help buy quality paint!
I did the gold polka dot mats in my entry way and love them! They are so cute
Love the decals – they are perfect for us since we rent but even if we owned I’d still use them!! Too cute to pass up!
What a perfect little girl’s room! I would love to make over my bedroom…it needs I desperately!
Would makeover the playroom. It is in desperate need of wall color. 😉
I would definitely makeover my den.
I would make over my living room with Sherwin Williams.
What a gorgeous room! I love the dog decals… SO much better than paint. Visiting form Enchantinginspiration party.

It’s so pretty. I’m trying to convince my hubby to re-paint my daughter’s room gray. I’ve been going through a gray phase lately. I love the colors you chose. I’m sure your daughter loves it.
I love what you did. We bought a house in FL and I would like to paint every room but for now I just what to star with my kids rooms , I have a 4 years old boy and a 2 years old girl and I want something especial for them and I can not decide the color of the walls yet. Wish me luck!!!.
Thanks.
I love this room! The colors are perfect. This is exactly what I have in mind for my daughter’s room. It’s a neutral tan and brown right now, but I think grey would look a lot better with the whites and pinks I already have in there. That headboard is awesome and I love the trellis rug. I’m kicking my self for not buying one of those poufs when I saw them on clearance at Target. It totally completes the room! (I found you via the Link Party Palooza).
Love the pink and gold! So perfect for a little girl’s room!
I desperately need to paint our 1/2 bath. It’s a mess.
I love the splashes of hot pink! I know exactly what you mean when you say you were in an in between stage for your girl. We’ve been going through the same thing with my not little big girl’s room (2.5 year old). I used butterfly decals in her room. Love them! Decals add a nice touch without all the “labor.”

I would paint my upstairs bathroom, the colors are too dark for the space so I would like to paint it a pale green
The room looks great, you have inspired me to fix up my little girl’s room too! And if I could make over one room with S-W I would do my bedroom, I have had paint swatches on the walls for 2 years, I need to pin it down and do something!!
Our master bathroom for sure! It really needs a new coat of paint…the pale green in there is so boring!
What a lucky little lady…. So pretty! I love pink so I am in love with this makeover! I’d love for you to come share it okay our link party on my blog.. Motivational Monday 🙂
I would either re paint my daughter’s room or our laundry room. Both need an update badly. I love your daughter’s room!
Do you have a tutorial for the pink and gold pillow?
Hi Jala! I don’t but I’ve had several people ask about it so I think I will make a tutorial for it. Keep checking back.
