Painting ideas for big girl room?

My aunt just bought this set for my DD's big girl room, anybody have any cute ideas for painting?

I was thinking large vertical stripes (lt. pink and green) with a random hot pink zigzag (like sheets) between stripes.

  • oh i love it. i love stripes on walls, but they are hard to do. i think keep the walls pretty nuturall so they arent to "girly", so i would pick up the greens and go with that for paint. then she can grow into the room and you dont have to paint again in 3 years. in the mean time you can make it as girly as you want with accesories. i love the quilt though! very cute.
  • I love the set!  Way cute for lil girls!  You could go either way on paint - stripes would be cute. But once I saw a cute "bug" room that had a couple bugs painted on the wall with dashed lines - - - -    following them in curly q's like they were flying.  You could do that with the butterflies...

  • How about a more mellow color (light pink or light green) with big wall decalls and maybe a painted picket fence in white. I looked at that set for my niece and I think there are cool curtains to go with it.

  • This is just my personal taste but what you're describing for the walls sounds like it would be REALLY busy in there with the bedding!  If you want to do stripes, may I suggest sheen striping?  lol  I just finished doing sheen stripes in the nursery and I absolutely LOVE the outcome.  I would use a light green for the walls with that bedding since I feel like using pink on the walls would just be way too much pink happening in that room.  BTW, that bedding is super cute!

    I like this idea!You could do lady bugs or butterflies and that would be fun! You could probably find decals if you are artistically challenged like me.

    This, but I kinda like the wainscotting (or how ever it is spelled) in the picture its really easy to do and classic, then maybe a cream color on top.
  • Great ideas ladies! My mom is an artist and can't paint anything as long as she has a picture or something else to reference. Maybe she can paint some froggies and butterflies!
