  You've been telling your little girl she was a princess since the day she was born, so it's no wonder she wants a bedroom to reflect her royal stature. Designing a princess-themed bedroom can be a difficult task, depending on the family budget. After scrolling through several princess ideas, you can either purchase the necessary materials or find a far less expensive way to recreate the motif.
  
  

Princess Bedding

• The bed is perhaps the most important piece to any princess-themed room. Beds should appear to be made for royalty, complete with a white canopy, four posters and bed risers for additional height. Sheets, pillow cases, comforters and accent pillows should all be princess themed, with soft pastel colors and intricate floral patterns. Behind the bed should be painted, stenciled or hung a wall covering that depicts a beautiful castle backdrop. This way, it appears as if the canopy opens up to a royal scene. Parents looking to cement the princess bed experience can even purchase customized castle beds.
  
  

Vanity Mirror

• Every princess needs a vanity mirror, complete with makeup lighting and sitting stool, to admire her royal beauty. Be sure to search for a vanity table with drawers and storage containers; this allows your daughter to store her combs and brushes, as well as her makeup, jewelery and accessories for those photogenic dress-up moments.
  
  

Princess Colors

• Regardless of the furniture or decorations used in princess-themed bedrooms, the color scheme is important. Colors in a princess bedroom should be of a light hue; potential colors include soft pink, sun yellow, pastel purple and baby blue. Floral patterns are also choices for a princess motif.
  
  

Wall Art

• Wall art contributes authenticity to a princess-themed room. Ideas include framed portraits of all your daughter's favorite role models, such as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Princess Tiana form the Princess and the Frog, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. Other ideas include wall hangings with castle backgrounds, murals of castles and lush gardens and framed photographs of your own princess dolled up in her gown, gloves and tiara.
  
  

Area Rugs

• Area rugs add to the luxuriousness of your princess' bedroom suite. Rugs should be thick and shaggy to make your little girl feel as if she is gliding on air when she walks across her room. Some stores and websites even carry princess rugs with castle or floral themes.
  
  

Furniture

• In addition to a bed and vanity table, other bedroom furniture can be designed with a princess theme to add the overall decor. Ideas include lamps, toy chests, rocking chairs and night tables.
