The Walls
Good wall colors for a are purple, pink, yellow, soft green or blue. Paint all the walls the same color and add some cute wallpaper border. There are also some wallpaper cutouts of butterflies that you can stick all over the room. Get some acrylic paint and butterfly sponges and sponge paint butterflies everywhere.
You can also try some painting techniques like rag rolling or stencils. Check out our
All About Walls
page for the details.
Decorating with wallpaper is a great option for a butterfly bedroom. Here are two examples of some butterfly wallpaper:

Springtime Applique
. For A LOT of butterfly wallpaper options got to the Wallpaper Search Engine . Type "butterfly" in the search box.
Another wall option which will fit into that tight budget are
butterfly bedroom posters.
The Bedding and Curtains
There are some really pretty
butterfly bedding sets
that we found. Most of them have the colors pink, purple, and yellow in them. You can also go with a solid comforter and add pillows with giant butterflies on them. A really pretty idea for a butterfly bedroom is a wall canopy. You can either make your own as described on our
Princess theme
page and just add some butterflies or you can buy one. This is a nice added touch and really makes the bed the focus of the room. Either buy curtains that match the bed or you can go with a white sheer curtain. This gives the butterfly room a real feminine touch.
The Bed
There are many butterfly beds that you can buy. Just be careful when buying an item as important as the bed. Kids' taste change so quickly that it is usually best to buy a bed that can be converted over into any theme.
The wall canopy idea we mentioned earlier can really dress up a bed and looks so great in a butterfly bedroom. A bed with a beautiful
carved butterfly
and some flowers would go perfect in this room.
How many of you have kids that LOVE sleeping in a tent? What kid doesn't!? For that camping out feel here is a
Butterfly Tent Bed
that your little one will definitely like.
Rugs
There are rugs with butterflies on them and rugs shaped like a butterfly. It's all up to you. Decide first what you need the rug for. If you need it as a play area in their room then you will need to go with the bigger rug and possibly a solid color one that can be used if the room changes.
For just decoration purposes a
butterfly shaped rug
would look adorable.
The Furniture
As far as furniture for the butterfly bedroom a simple idea is to decophage butterflies onto a dresser or small table and chair set. You can also do this to a mirror that either goes over the dresser or hangs on the wall.
Decophage is actually very simple and if you already have some butterfly fabric that you love, this would be a fun activity. Go to Fabric.com for some really nice butterfly fabric. Search under quilt and craft fabric and then click on the "Especially for Children" link. You could also use this fabric for pillows, curtains or whatever your creative side comes up with!
The Accessories
We have found some great craft projects for you and your daughter to do together for her butterfly bedroom. Your daughter can also make tissue paper butterflies. All you need is colored tissue paper and pipe cleaners. Let her make as many as she wants and then fill some baskets with them or let her put them around her room.
Let your daughter draw some pictures of her favorite butterflies and then frame it. It will mean so much to her if she can add her own touch to her butterfly bedroom. Here are some fun craft projects from HearthSong.com :Rainbow Bouquet Kit ,Rainbow Butterflies Kit , Beaded Butterflies Kit .
If your little girl loves to dress up then she will love these Butterfly Wings . Hours of imaginative-play are guaranteed!!
A
Butterfly Lamp
would be another great accessory to add to this themed room.
This is one girl bedroom theme that you can also incorporate other things into it like: fairies, flowers, bees, dragonflies or a garden. We hope we have given you some good ideas to get started with and that you and your daughter will have a great time creating her butterfly bedroom!
