Girls' rooms colour schemes - help! :)

I'd recommend pink and purple for DD1s room. These are the colours in my DDs bedroom (along with mint green here and there) and they work well together and are very girly.

She has a mermaid theme so I just got some mermaid wall stickons and a few mermaid bits and pieces. She loves it.

If you go green, green & pink are good as are green & purple. We painted DD's room the green of a Huggies newborn nappy box & it works really well with lots of colours.

Pink and aqua are my favourite colours together
But for a girly room I think pale pink, baby yellow and white is lovely warm and pretty combo. I agree with Muppity on choosing the pink paint - the lighter the better, or it's too overpowering.

Thanks girls Yeah, we're definitely looking for something as pale as pale can be, DD1 is hyper enough without trying to get her to sleep in a fuchsia-coloured room! And DD2 is easily overstimulated so definitely baby, baby pastels for her room
Sticking to white and pink for the walls, then just adding little splashes of the additional colour using carpets/rugs (we're replacing the carpets *sometime* soon, I hope!), wall hangings and stuff like that, to keep costs down (great tip, Muppity!).

DD1 is all into butterflies atm too, I'm thinking maybe purple or a powder blue and going from there?

I actually like pink with an apricot-y colour - although it would have to be more of a purpley-pink

I'm not much help am I?! lol

So I'll start with this

After two boys a little girl comes into our world.
I am not a fan of having different color walls in houses, think it's because I grew up in a house where every room was a different color.
Can you keep the same color walls and pretty it up with wall decals, duvet covers and trimmings? I have seen some absolutely beautiful decals on the bambini pronto site that I intend to use for DD when she is old enough..or sooner
The money you save on paint you could go to town on trimmings, so many of the baby shops now have full room themes, it really is just amazing how beautiful you can make a little girls room
We have a shop here in Melbourne called spindleberry and they specialise in room decor...it is just to die for

We have quite a bit of spearmint in our babies room, I just love the colour and it goes really well with pink and yellow. So I'd reccomend spearmint.
