 High-Design Girls' Bedrooms She Won't Grow Out Of

Whether she's five or 15, chances are your daughter already has some pretty specific ideas about decorating her space. No matter what her style is, you can create a room you'll both love for years to come—no princess decals or Barbie-themed bedding necessary. Take a look at some of our favorite designer girls' rooms for proof that you can create a one-of-a-kind kid, tween, or teen retreat that's filled with personality and doesn't sacrifice style.

Create a One-of-a-Kind Gallery Wall

Sure, you can order a pre-curated gallery wall from any number of retailers, but consider doing something more personal. For the room shared by daughters Tallulah (pictured) and Bellamy in her family's country house, Cortney Novogratz assembled collection of female portraits—all flea-market finds.

Get Creative With Wallpaper

Wallpaper isn't only for walls! For a fun surprise, designer Nick Olsen used an exuberant Christopher Farr Cloth pattern to cover the ceiling of a girl's bedroom in Manhattan. Who wouldn't want to wake up to that?

Get Inspired by Nature

Situated on a tiny island on a lake in Canada, Sarah Richardson's summer cottage is surrounded by sparkling water. When it came to decorating her daughter's bedroom, she merely had to look around her for inspiration, choosing textiles with wave-like patterns and painting a vintage nightstand in seafoam blue.

Choose Space-Saving Furniture

When it comes to shared rooms, it's essential to get creative with layout, says designer Heidi Caillier. "We designed these lofted bunkbeds so they could use the space underneath for desks and to play," she explains. "I wanted it to be soft and also feel like it worked with the rest of the house. The pink feels feminine but not overtly girly."

Embrace Moody Hues

A little moodiness isn't a bad thing—at least when it comes to paint colors. Tasked with designing a room for a family's two older daughters that was playful but not stereotypically "girly," Jean Stoffer opted for a tranquil gray—Benjamin Moore's Cobblestone Path—on the walls.
