NWMR: help me paint DD's room

this board is so active I was hoping you ladies could help me out.
I'm surprising DD by redoing her room for Christmas.  I'd like to do a light purple with bright pink stripes.  I'll also be putting up Lalaloopsy Decals and she's getting Lalaloopsy bedding.  Her room is very tiny in a rectangular shape.  Her bed is along one wall in a corner, on one of the short walls is her window and a radiator.  Her walls are all paneled.  The panels are in random sizes, so there is a small panel followed by a large one, then a medium, small, large, medium, ect., it doesn't just go small medium, large, repeat.
How would you paint this room?  I could paint just the small panels pink, or I could do approximately every 1 1/2 foot, although it wouldn't be exact and the stripes wouldn't be the exact same size.  I could also just do one accent wall, but which wall would I do?  I'm leaning towards the stripes and I feel like the decals will really pull things together.  WWYD?

    I'm doing it myself, but it shouldn't be too bad to do stripes because I'll just have to tape off the panels.  I  don't mind Lalaloopsy and it fits her style perfectly.  I am trying to keep the color choices to something that will last for a while which is why I was thinking the light purple base.

    That is pretty, would you just do the whole room that color?  Forget the stripes?  Do you think it might be too dark though?

    It sounds like kind of a lot in a small rectangular room to have all those stripes plus the decals. What about doing stripes just on one wall, like behind her bed? I think I would do them about the same distance apart, on the random size boards.

    What if you did an accent wall, with decals on some of the others?

    Maybe you could do something like the picture and just hang multiple pink striped curtain panels along the wall with the window and radiator. That way it's an easy change down the road if you want to update but you will still get the basic look you are looking for.

    I think stripes might make the room feel even smaller.  if anything do just one wall but I think between the decals and color it will be enough.
