How to Decorate a Girls Room with Butterflies

Butterflies have some lovely symbolism attached to them. But beyond this butterfly symbolism they're also very feminine and girly looking. This means they're a nice decorating theme for a girl who doesn't want fairies or any of the other decorating themes often used for a girl's room.

Butterfly decor also comes in a wide range of colors. So you're not restricted to pink (although I do realize the first butterfly decor item I've featured here is pink). 

You have a lot of choices when decorating your daughter's room with butterflies. If you decide to decorate her walls you luckily have a lot of good options. Not just in the butterfly design and color but also in the type of wall decor you use.

Removable wall stickers are a flexible option that's not too expensive. This type of wall sticker has many advantages. Apart from the price they can be used even if you rent. They can also be easily removed from the wall if your daughter becomes too "old" for butterflies. Plus if you rearrange the furniture you can update the sticker arrangement to suit the look of the room. All great reasons to go with this type of decor.

I cant' discuss wall decor without mentioning the classic choice - canvas art. 

Canvas art has become a popular choice in children's rooms. Now canvas art is usually more expensive than stickers. But there are advantages with canvas art that stickers don't give you.

Butterfly canvas art can be passed down to younger children in the family. It can even be sold on Ebay if your daughter grows out of it.

Of course canvas art can also be moved about easily too, especially if you use the new picture hook designs that aren't nailed into the wall. This lets you change the look of the room as needed. 

Canvas art gives any room a stylish look - and there's some great designs in canvas art that's perfect for a girl's bedroom. 

Light switch covers are a nice decorating idea that people often overlook when they're choosing decor for a child's room.

Butterfly design switch covers can be hard to find. It's easier if your color scheme is pink but it's not impossible to find butterfly light switches in other colors if you're dedicated to the search. 

I've gone with this pink butterfly light switch cover. Mostly because I like the design. I think brown and pink are a lovely color scheme and the butterflies on this are very sweet. I also wanted to give the idea of how you can decorate a light switch so you don't forget to think about including this sort of thing in your decor.

The bedroom door is something else that can also be overlooked in decorating but it's a cute idea to add it to the decorating list. 

A door can be decorated fairy style with a poster, wall stickers or butterfly drawings and art your child has done. You can also use a formal door plaque - like this Melissa & Doug one. These give a finished touch to a butterfly themed bedroom if you can find one in a butterfly theme.

This rocking chair is from the same company as the table and chairs - and I just had to include it when I saw it. 

Rocking chairs are very soothing and peaceful pieces of furniture for a bedroom. There's also very classic and traditional looking (even when they're bright pink with butterflies). But if you decide to have one like this don't forget to tell your child not to put their fingers or toes under the rockers when it's being used. 

A piece of classic children's furniture like this is also something that can be passed down to younger kids or sold on Ebay once your child has outgrown it.

Butterfly pillows are a cuddly and comfy idea for a child's room. 

With butterfly pillows you have two choices. The first is to get pillows in the classic pillow shape. These are usually the best ones for comfort. You can also get classic pillows in lots of different styles and colors so it's easier to use them as decor as well. 

The second choice are pillows in the shape of a butterfly. These are cross between a pillow and a soft toy. They're very popular with kids although they probably aren't as useful as classic pillows and come in fewer styles and colors.
