While debating on a theme for your daughter's room, you may wish to think about a gorgeous quilt. (Depending on your child's age) It was once upon a time, that this item was lovingly created at home, and passed down through the generations. While you might be lucky enough to have obtained one of these heirlooms, you probably won't want to it placed within the reach of the every day wear and tear; that most kids can exert on many items. However the good news is, is that there are hundreds of hand made or machine made quilts on the market these days, that come in a wide range of colors, size, as well as heft; that can complement nearly any decor theme and keep your child snug and warm. Most quilts for little girls can come with a theme of their own, from ponies, ballerinas, or flowers; or can come in an attractive mix of colors that suits your daughter's fancy.
Whether you are going to opt for a theme room for your daughter, or a simple color palette that will have long term flexibility; a child's bed will always remain the focal point of the bedroom. This is simply because it will be the first thing that catches anyone's eye, once that person has entered into the room; and because it is your child's most private retreat. You may wish to consider how you want the bed to look and feel for this reason, and choose your daughter's bedding accordingly. Some little girls will love lacy and frilly items in soft muted colors, while other girls may have a favorite hobby, or cartoon character that they will want used in a theme.
While even still some girls may be into sports, and wish that you carry sports into the theme of their room. Remember that it is important to let your little girl (depending on her age) tell you her tastes, and interests and allow it to guide you when you are decorating the room as well as choosing bedding. However if your child isn't quite old enough, you may wish to create a universal pastel or at very least a comforting color pallet that can grow with your child; and will stand a greater chance of fitting into a theme later in your child's life, which can prove rather budget friendly.
When you are looking to create the perfect atmosphere for your daughters's bedroom, it is important to keep her style and wants in mind (that is assuming that she is old enough to have an opinion). However even if you are communicating by using small grunts and coos, you will surely be able to give her room some flair in no time. I have assembled a few ideas for you to pull into your infant, toddler, or school aged girl's bedroom; that should be fairly lenient on your budget as well. Keep in mind however, that these are mere suggestions; and can be changed or altered in any way to fit your personal style and wants for your daughter's bedroom.
Whether the love for mermaids and under the sea life was spawned because of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, or Disney's The Little Mermaid; lots of little girls often dream of the world that lives under the ocean's waters and of becoming a mermaid. If this reminds you of the little girl in your life, you may wish to consider this as a theme for her bedroom. As the bed is the focal point of the room, many companies offer an array of choices on girl's bedding; teamed up with a theme quilt and complimentary sheets your little girl will have all the mermaids she could ever want. You may also wish to consider throwing in a stuffed fish pillow, artwork on the wall, a throw rug, as well as an ocean theme lamp to complete the look. I would however suggest picking items that your child can grow with, for at least a couple of years, which will help to extend your budget that much further.
While there is no real difference between the bedding that is needed for a boy or a girl; your child's gender can greatly affect his or her tastes. This of course will create a great basis from which you can choose style, color, and the theme for your child's bedding and room theme.
Whether you are in the market for boys or girl's bedding, you will need to make sure to purchase a mattress pad, a bed skirt (that is of course unless you have a platform bed, under which you will not store other items), several sets of sheets that include a fitted bottom sheet, flat top sheet, and at least one pillow case. You will need to make sure you have bedding for your colder seasons such as a blanket, bedspread, quilt, or a comforter (with a comforter you may wish to purchase a cover), or any combination of these items. Some other items you may wish to consider is pillow shams that match the bedspread, quilt, or comforter cover and some decorative throw pillows which are usually inteded for your daughter's room, however can look nice in a boy's room as well.

Many girls can not resist those fuzzy faces, and big round eyes; and yes I am meaning kittens, which tend to be a great hit with kids. This is especially so with little girls rather than boys, who might be more inclined toward their furry counterparts the dog. If your little girl tends to love cats, and kittens you may wish to incorporate this into a theme for your daughter's bedroom.
You can do this by purchasing kitten sheets, pillow cases, and a comforter. However remember that these items can be a part of a much larger scale kitten or animal theme room by adding accessories such as a lamp, throw rug, murals, framed pictures; or can be used as a simple splash of pattern in an otherwise mundane room.
Along the same line as the kitten, a lot of girls see themselves as destined for the riding ring. This may be incorporated into a theme bedroom as well, by purchasing a pony or horse quilt along with the many other bedding necessities. Which can help you bring the stables right into her bedroom, you may want to use this equine bedding as a centerpiece for a paddock theme bedroom, or just to tide her over until her horseback riding dreams can become a reality.
However, you may wish to opt out of the more expensive decorating items, such as the butterscotch pony that my daughter has in her bedroom; and instead choose to keep it on a relatively budget friendly scheme. You can accomplish this by adding a stuffed horse here or there, along with a throw rug, bean bag, as well as either a mural or a few framed art pieces.
It use to be ritual for bed skirts to hide that which you had tucked under the bed, however now they are considered a beautiful design element in both a boy's and girl's bedroom. Through this easy to find item, you can now jazz up your child's bedding with a patterned or solid colored bed skirt. You may wish to consider a striped or gingham bed skirt to help insert a little pattern into your daughter's room. One of the best ideas for a little extra pop of pattern, is to have solid colored bed sheets and comforter covers; and to allow the pattern in the bed skirt carry over into the pillows for a style that is easy to grow up on. This of course will provide a rather unexpected and unique twist to your daughter's bedroom, by giving it a bit more of a sophisticated flair.
