Girls Farmhouse Bedroom Ideas

If you are searching for girls farmhouse bedroom ideas – you have come to the right place! Children’s farmhouse bedrooms are cozy and charming and provide easy opportunity to make a few seamless changes as they mature.

Farmhouse-style is all about clean lines and classic patterns and is characterized by welcoming whites, a penchant for wood and folksy accents. In this post, I have included a broad range of girls farmhouse bedrooms that depict the traditional farmhouse aesthetic to rooms that introduce a bolder color palette. The goal is to create a room that suits your child’s individuality, is attractive, comfortable and flexible enough to grow with your child. That way you won’t have to redecorate for many years to come.

Transforming a child’s bedroom can be a simple process by switching out the old with new wall, window and floor treatments. Paint, wallpaper, fabric and area rugs are the perfect medium to add pattern, texture and color.

When it comes to infusing the farmhouse style into a girl’s bedroom, it is important to consider bringing the outdoors in. A few other key elements to traditional farmhouse design included natural textures, shiplap walls, nostalgic prints, country and cottage elements, natural wood accents, oversized furniture and casual bedding.

How to Design a Girls Farmhouse Bedroom

Incorporate Patterns to Add Character

Pattern adds personality to a room, establishes a theme and can camouflage minor surface imperfections. Patterns that are large in scale create a lively and stimulating atmosphere and can add a sense of coziness. A rule of thumb when using pattern is to vary the scale of the patterns. Large-print fabrics work best on similar-scale furnishings, medium prints on medium-sized pieces, and small prints on accent items.

Studio McGee’s clients had two girls sharing a room, and they knew this was the perfect space to play with patterns and charming details. They incorporated two white spindle beds and one large nightstand to anchor the look and offset the symmetry. Studio McGee suggests that mixing and matching patterns is all about working with a cohesive color palette. Pull tones from your pattern for solid pieces to ground the look, and don’t be afraid to experiment!

Designer Mindy Gayer finds creating kid’s rooms to be a fun opportunity for her design team to play with color and pattern in new ways, and you definitely see this in the bedroom above. This sweet girl’s room is the embodiment of their clients’ wish list: A feminine, pretty, pink explosion. As the only girl in the family, there were no boundaries for her design team and they were able to combine all of their favorite feminine details into one joyful space.

The existing room had amazing high ceilings, so they accentuated them with a beautiful floral-inspired chandelier. From there, they picked out a pretty pink wallpaper with a floral stripe pattern, and painted out all of the trim, closet doors, casing, and beam in a matching pink accent color.

The bed frame is a family heirloom that worked perfectly within the design. They added custom pillows in the same print as the wallpaper, along with pink floral sheets and a cozy throw blanket. One of their favorite elements is the sweet gingham drapery that they added to the French doors as well as inside the closet doors. Overall, the soft pink combined with neutral details feels perfectly childish but is still a space that she can grow into for years to come.

Add a Touch of Country Charm with Mix & Match Patterns

Country and farmhouse style go hand-in-hand. Mix and match patterns provide the opportunity to add character, dimension and color to a space.

Designer Amy Berry incorporated a chaise and rocking chair for reading and brought the room to life with a classic toile wallpaper and framed botanical prints. Keeping most of the decor on the walls leaves more useable floor space so there’s room to play. The room is infused with country charm with the addition of floral, gingham and stripe prints.

A traditionalist at heart, Berry went for classic motifs with staying power: “I imagined the sister as being older than her brother, so I wanted her room to be more sophisticated: a chaise for reading, a secretary for working, and a great bed,” says Berry. Having layers and layers of the same Fabricut toile makes the room feel cozy without overwhelming it. And the process itself involves a ton of staples, batting, fabric and trim to complete the look—but Berry admits this can get expensive, so she suggests choosing a fabric that’s a great per-yard bargain before venturing down this road.

Create a Focal Point

The focal point of most bedrooms is the bed as this is the element that grabs your attention when you first enter the room. Even if it’s a simple twin size bed, where you locate it and how you dress it makes and impact on your overall design.

Add Mirrors

Mirrors should be viewed as a design opportunity as they can be used to reflect a pattern, color, motif, texture or even a light source you want to emphasize. If a room is particularly small, a well-place mirror can open up the space.

Add Texture

The easiest way to add texture to a room design is with fabric. Cotton and chenilles are a good choice for curtains and bedding. Texture can also be added through area rugs, throws and architectural embellishments such as cornices, crown molding and wainscotting. For a girls farmhouse bedroom, the addition wicker baskets adds texture as well as a handy place to store items.

Inspire Curiosity with Bright Colors

Children are naturally drawn to color, and most will have a top choice before they are old enough to start school. Although the farmhouse style typically incorporates a neutral palette, it is not essential to carry this throughout a child’s room.

MA’s bold use of color and pattern come together to create a little girls dream room, giving a sense of empowerment to dream freely and to grow. Allen’s client wanted a room that would empower her two-year-old granddaughter to “grow and pursue anything under the sun,” so the North Carolina designer built in magical surprises to promote discovery and wonder.

This kid-friendly room features a small lime green door that opens to a quaint play closet with toys and books and a bathroom with a built-in pull-out stool. Allen also incorporates book covers as art to spark young creativity.

Include a Few Grown-Up Touches for Longevity

Children grow up too fast. Just when you become comfortable with one phase, they suddenly mature and their tastes and requirements change.
It is a good to address this in the initial design of their bedroom when you are shopping for furniture, flooring, window treatments and choosing appropriate color combinations.

Investing in essential pieces that are versatile enough to grow up with your little one gives you a base to layer age-appropriate accents to avoid needing to do a complete re-haul at every stage. Consider choosing a bed that can easily transition from one age to the next as well as bedding, nightstands, window treatments and lighting that will evolve with the space over time.

Studio McGee still recommends buying furniture that children could grow into, but that doesn’t mean they need an adult space quite yet. Kids are all about comfort and imagination so a whimsical mirror, cute bean bag chair or a hanging chair, etc. adds in a lot of fantasy into the room.

Create a Seating/Lounging Area

It is wonderful to include a comfortable upholstered piece in your child’s bedroom if you have the space. Whether you are thinking of a window seat, armchair, ottoman or small sofa.

Where Possible – Provide a Play Room in Close Proximity

Get them Involved in the Design Process

It is important to have a dialogue with your child to talk about color and discuss themes and patterns. Use the clues your child gives you to direct your choices for some of the room’s elements, such as a wallpaper pattern, artwork, bedding or furniture style.

Get Creative with Space

In smaller rooms, you may have to look for creative solutions in order to provide space for sleeping, playing, reading or homework.
