Many parents want to decorate their kid's bedroom in a special way. One great idea for a little girl's bedroom is a fairy and magic decor idea. The ideas below will help you turn your kid's bedroom into a magical fairy wonderland.

Fairy and Magic Paint Decor Ideas

Start with an empty kid's bedroom. The first step is to paint the walls and ceiling and perhaps get a new rug for the floor. The rug can be in any color that your kid likes. The walls, however, will get a special fairy magic treatment.

One bedroom decor painting idea is to paint all the walls in the room white or some other pale color. Then, take a slightly darker color of paint and mix in a cup of silver glitter. Mix well and use this paint to make large swirls or stenciled stars all over the walls. When dry, the walls will sparkle.

Another great painting idea is to use a few shades of green to paint grass and flower stems up about three quarters of the wall. Paint large, colorful flowers above the stems. These massive flowers will give your kid the impression that she is fairy sized.

Fairy And Magic Fabric Decor Ideas

Since fairies are delicate little creatures with gossamer wings, light, breezy fabrics are great for a fairy magic bedroom. At a craft and fabric store, purchase sheer material with sparkly star or flower motifs on them. Drape these over the windows for sheer curtains, and around the posts of the bed. You can even make a curtain to hang over the bed. Any bright fabric with stars, flowers, and swirls will look great in this kid's bedroom.

Fairy and Magic Accessory Decor Ideas

To truly turn your kid's bedroom into a magical fairy world, you will need to purchase or make some fairy accessories. Hang pictures of fairies on the wall, paint flowers and stars on the furniture, or buy magical or fairy print bed linens. The lamp for your kid's bedroom should have a flower-shaped shade or one with star or flower cutouts. Depending on whether you are creating a flower fairy or a sparkly magic fairy decor style determines what type of accessories you should include.

Decorating your kid's bedroom in a fairy and magic motif is a great idea for any little girl that loves fantasy. Using the painting, fabric, and accessory techniques described above, your kid will feel as if she were transported into a magical fairy world every time she goes to her room.
