How to Create a Rapunzel Bedroom

Rapunzel was a fairytale that seemed to go out of vogue for a while, but with Disney's Tangled movie she is now a Disney Princess! This means that it is even easier for you to buy Rapunzel inspired goodies to help create a gorgeous Rapunzel bedroom.

As far as furniture goes I would opt for white, not only does it look great with the Rapunzel theme, but it can also be adapted for other themes. To the crib you need to purchase the Rapunzel crib bedding set, the one pictured is available through Amazon by clicking on the link below the picture.

This particular Rapunzel crib bedding set is a 4 piece set and includes the quilt that is pictured along with a four sided bumber, fitted crib sheet and a dust ruffle.

Above the crib is a beautiful Rapunzel mobile. Babies and toddlers alike love mobiles and this one is no exception.

Rounding out the room is a diaper stacker and clothes hamper both of which are incredibly handy.   The diaper stacker goes without saying, but why do I think a clothes hamper is great in a baby's room?   Well as they start to get mobile you can encourage them to pop their clothes straight into the hamper.   If the hamper is in their room they are more likely to remember and (you hope) it becomes habit forming.

Creating a special bedroom for your child as they become a toddler or preschooler is one of the most rewarding times - the look on their face as their bedroom is transformed into a magic kingdom is priceless. They love to parade their family and friends around their personal kingdom as though they're showcasing the Crown Jewels themselves in the room!

There are several ways to create the perfect Rapunzel bedroom, but the first thing I want to talk about is beds!

The most important piece of furniture in any bedroom is the bed. Now in all honesty I would probably choose a plain white bed as this can be adapted as your little Princess becomes enarmored with Hannah Montana and then (brace yourself) One Direction!!! If you want to stick with a bed that will grow with them then that is great because you can dress it up to turn it into a Rapunzel bed using bedding.

If you do buy this Princess Castle bed, otherwise known as a Rapunzel bed (by me anyway!) then you can just use very plain bedding because the bed itself is your statement piece.

If you've gone the sensible option (which I always do {{{sigh}}}, I'm not sure why) and opted for a plain bed then it's time to magically turn that bed into a bed fit for a Princess! You can do this in a number of ways - all in or more thrifty.

For an all in Rapunzel bed you'll need to purchase Rapunzel sheets, quilt cover etc. The more thrifty way is to purchase plain sheets (white, pink etc) and just top these with a Rapunzel quilt. Alternatively you can also add a plain quilt and just use a Rapunzel blanket/throw over the top.

Adding some cool pillows onto the bed can add a nice touch too and ebay have a great selection of Rapunzel throw pillows available at times.   Choose from heart shaped pillows which are always a hit with young girls to personalized pillows which are another way of gaining points with your daughter!

The next thing to look at is the walls of the bedroom.   A Rapunzel bedroom is like a lot of other Disney Princess bedrooms in that pink and pale purple seems to dominate.   You can paint the walls a pale pink, lilac or keep it a classic white.

Along with paint you can decorate your Rapunzel bedroom with posters, wall decals and lots more.

Now if you're just going to hang the poster onto the wall I would suggest laminating it first as it will last longer.   My favorite way of dressing up the walls is by framing a couple of posters.   In my daughter's room she has two silver colored frames that has held Pooh posters, Snow White posters, Hannah Montana posters, Jonas Brothers Posters and now One Direction.   It's a great way to update their rooms as they get older and their tastes change.

Now we come to the floor and whether you choose a wooden floor or a carpet a rug is a great way to 'dress up' a room. Whether you choose a Rapunzel rug to help pull your theme together or a plain pink, white or purple rug that can work in with other themes a rug will add a lovely finishing touch to a room.

One piece of furniture that I found and thought would be ideal for a Rapunzel bedroom was a Disney Tangled Transforming Castle Table and Chair set.

Finishing touches for your Rapunzel bedroom include night lights, lamps, ornaments and more. Her very own Rapunzel doll lying on the bed can be a great touch.

Your little girl should be really happy if you implement even a quarter of these ideas and her joy will be reflected in her face when she opens her door to find a fairytale room waiting for her. Sweet dreams and endless days of play will make this Rapunzel inspired bedroom a very, very happy one.
