Are you decorating a dorm room or apartment? In this post, I’m sharing the best coastal and girly bedroom decor and furniture ideas.
Starting from scratch to decorate a new space can be challenging. That is why I like to choose some neutral pieces so that you can easily mix in colors and patterns. I also love to combine both budget friendly and splurge worthy items to achieve an overall designer look.
If you want to incorporate coastal and girly elements like scallops, monograms, and pops of color, I suggest picking one neutral piece in the space, like a bed frame or rug, so it is not too overwhelming. You can choose any color palette, but I love to use blues and greens.
Whether you’re decorating your own space or a girl’s room for a young child or someone in their teen years, these ideas are the perfect choice for any age.
1. Tilly Upholstered Bed
The Tilly upholstered bed is a best seller for a reason. It comes in over 30 colors but the Classic Linen Talc and Zuma White Textured fabrics are my favorites. If you want to know if the Tilly bed is the right fit for you, I have a full review with more details including pros and cons, cost, and pictures of it in my home.
The best part about choosing a neutral bed is that if your tastes change and you want to switch up your decor, you can still use the same bed, which is a great cost savings since bed frames are usually expensive. I also find it much easier to style neutral beds by adding patterns and pops of color in other ways, like Euro shams, throw pillows, and end-of-bed blankets.
If you would rather add color to your bed instead of in your decor, you need to check out this blue and green floral option.
2. 29.25″ Transitional Glass Plum Jar Table Lamp
This designer-inspired table lamp is the perfect statement piece for a nightstand. The color is listed as Dove Gray but it reads more blue in natural sunlight based on the pictures I have seen.
I love this lamp paired with the white shade, but you could also add a fun patterned shade since the base itself is pretty neutral. Lamp shades are a relatively inexpensive upgrade and an easy way to update a bedroom on a budget.
3. Charlie 2-Drawer Wide Nightstand
This stylish nightstand comes in 4 different finishes, but the white is perfect for a light and airy coastal bedroom. The best part about this nightstand is the extra storage space, especially if you’re decorating a small room.
The gold knobs add a nice contrast, and I also love that it has a shelf, which is the perfect spot to style your favorite coffee table books!
4. Mariposa Sand Faux Grasscloth 5×7 Frame
Mariposa has so many beautiful frames, but this faux grasscloth one caught my eye because it is the perfect texture for a coastal touch. It even has free fast delivery.
It is also available in 4×6 if you want a smaller size, or you could use two next to each other or one on each nightstand, should you choose to have two in the room.
5. ECLATIQUE Oushak Pure New Zealand Wool Handmade Rug
How beautiful is this blue and green oushak style rug from Amazon? It comes in many sizes including 6×9 and 8×10, which I typically recommend under a Queen bed.
This rug is made of cotton and wool so it is soft and plush to walk on, which is great for getting out of bed in the morning. Area rugs are a great way to add color to a space. Since this rug has a unique pattern with several colors, I would consider having larger pieces like the bed and nightstand be more neutral.
6. Dayna Bench with Sandberg Parchment Seat
This end-of-bed bench has been on my wishlist for a while! I have a chair from this collection and love the classic bamboo style.
The padded seat is upholstered in Sandberg Parchment performance fabric, making it easy to clean. If you have a pet that likes to get on the bed, this would be a great option! Benches are also great for storing pillows and blankets. Other storage ideas include baskets like this cute scalloped faux rattan bin.
7. 400 Thread Count Premium Supima Cotton No Iron Sateen Embroidered Cane Weave Bed Sheet Set
Lands End is known for its luxurious bedding, and if you have these blue and white sheets, you know why! The best part about these sheets is that they are wrinkle free. Is there anything better than fresh bedding and crisp white sheets?
Embroidered details like cane and scallops are fun girly accents, especially in a coastal-style space. These sheets are available in 6 different thread colors, but of course, I love the blue!
8. Essential Cotton Windowpane Reversible Bed Blanket
The color of this blanket immediately caught my eye because it is so soft and calming. It usually always has a coupon so you should be able to grab it on sale. It’s comfortable enough to sleep with but you could also style it on an accent chair or an end-of-bed bench. It is machine washable which is a bonus as well!
9. Emma Scalloped Sham
The only thing missing in this girl’s bedroom design is a scallop detail! These scalloped shams come in 3 different sizes and 5 different colors, so they will match any space no matter the colour scheme.
Scalloped furniture and decor are my favorite ways to incorporate girly and coastal elements, especially in a little girl’s room.
Conclusion
Girl’s bedroom decor is more than just ruffles and frills. You can incorporate details like scallops and monograms paired with woven textures like grasscloth and rattan to achieve the coastal girly bedroom of your dreams. Using neutral colors and styles for larger pieces of furniture like beds and nightstands makes it easy to switch up your decor.
Whether you want to add a fun blockprint lamp shade or scalloped pillow shams, there are so many ways to personalize and design a space that fits your style. Depending on your age or if you are decorating your daughter’s bedroom, you could even use fairy lights or a canopy bed. No matter what you decide, as long you love the pieces you choose, that’s the most important thing!
