In recent years, the unicorn has become a popular motif for cuddly toys and all sorts of decorations, which is particularly popular with girls. The unicorns are another great theme for children's birthdays, carnival costumes and themed rooms for children. That's why in today's article we've collected lots of wonderful ideas that will help you design your girls' room with a unicorn theme. Get inspired and transform the girls' room into a magical world for your little princess.
Colors and decoration for children's rooms with unicorn motifs
When furnishing the children's room, choosing colors is the very first step in designing the room. So if you plan to redecorate the girl's room from the start, it will be much easier to combine the colors and motifs. Light pastel tones go well with a unicorn themed room, such as blue, pink and purple. Rainbow colors can also be a good choice, especially when combined with white.
However, if you're just looking to renovate the room or spruce it up a bit, then the small elements are what make a big impact. If unicorns are in demand, they can appear in the form of wall tattoos, toys or wall decorations. Textiles with a unicorn pattern are also popular and are considered a cheap way to redesign your room. However, it is important that the original colors harmonize with the selected decorations.
If you want to quickly decorate the children's room, a few toys are the right choice. A unicorn cuddly toy or hobby horse brings the child great joy and at the same time has a decorative effect in the room. The following applies: the bigger the toy, the better the motif comes into its own. Below you will find many examples of how you can incorporate the unicorn into the design of the girl's room.
Textiles with a unicorn motif
As already mentioned, textiles are a good option if you want to furnish the children's room for girls with a unicorn motif. Unicorn bedding ensures sweet dreams and is sure to be popular with little girls. Whether it's a large unicorn or several small unicorns, the desired effect is achieved in both cases. Other textiles that can be decorated with the fabulous motif include curtains, canopies or carpets.
There is often one in the play areaCanopy for children's roomsused to create a play tent. This can also be decorated with unicorns to fulfill the child's wishes. A few decorative pillows with unicorn pillowcases also make children's hearts beat faster. You can order these personalized with the child's name.
Wall design ideas
If you want to completely change the spatial effect of a room, the easiest way to do this is to design a new wall. Wallpapers and wall tattoos with the selected motif are perfect for themed rooms. They set the tone for the furnishings and have a very decorative effect. A wall painting in beautiful pastel colors would also be a very nice idea if painted by a talented artist.
The children's room for girls can of course be colorful. Rainbow colors instead of pastel tones create a cheerful atmosphere in the room and stimulate the imagination of the little ones. With a colorful unicorn wallpaper you can transform the girl's room into a beautiful magical world. The selection of patterns, motifs and colors is very large and can easily be adapted to existing furnishings.
If you prefer a minimalist interior design style with Scandinavian notes, then an opulent wallpaper with large motifs would not be recommended. This is where small wall stickers come in handy. They are not so intrusive and add charm and elegance to the room. The closed eyes with a magnificent blink of the eyelashes go wonderfully with the unicorn theme in the girls' room. They have a relaxing effect and are a great decorative idea for the area behind the bed. Such small motifs can also be painted on the wall using a suitable stencil.
Wall decoration ideas for the unicorn girls' room
When you think about decorating a child's room, the wall comes to mind as the most sensible place for it. A decoration mounted high on the wall cannot be reached by small hands and therefore lasts longer. In addition, plain-colored walls can quickly be spiced up with a few murals or decorations. You can either buy these ready-made or get creative and make them yourself. A combination of both variants is also possible.
So if you want to create a fabric unicorn head as a wall decoration, it might be difficult to do yourself. However, if you buy a ready-made plush wall decoration, you can decorate it as you wish. In the example above, the unicorn head is not just attached to the wall, but first to a tree disc, which is also decorated with patterned paper. In this way, the decoration can be adapted to the colors and furnishings in the room.
To make the unicorn head more eye-catching, it can be embellished with a colorful, long mane. You can use thick yarn in different colors and use it to make colorful hair yourself. Cut 10-15 pieces of the same length from each ball of yarn, then tie all the threads to a long piece of cardboard to assemble the mane. Finally, sew the cardboard onto the unicorn head and the embellishment project is finished.
The decorative unicorn head for the wall should not necessarily be made of fabric. A unicorn made of paper or cardboard, for example, can be converted into an original wall lamp that creates beautiful lighting effects in the evening. Some LED fiber optics are perfect for this. They are placed in small holes in the box and are a real eye-catcher in the evenings.
DIY decoration ideas for the unicorn children's room for girls
When designing the girls' room with a unicorn theme, you can get creative and make an original decoration yourself. The ideas are endless: from pretty wall pictures to practical table lamps to colorful garlands and bunting. Our first idea uses beautiful string art. This arisescreative and unique thread images, which are perfect for wall decoration. The technique requires some skill, patience and, depending on the motif chosen, time.
The most important element for a successful thread image is the template. The selected motif (in this case a unicorn) is attached to a surface, usually made of wood, using the template and many nails. If you would like to color the base, you should do this before attaching the nails. Then the nails are hammered in along the template with a hammer. The final step is wrapping the thread. Simply wrap this around the nails until the desired thread pattern is finished. If you wish, you can use multiple colors for one image.
In a children's room for girls, flowers are a beautiful addition to the interior. However, since vases and houseplants are not always a good idea in the child's room, the flowers can be integrated into the furnishings in the form of a wreath. With artificial flowers and a Styrofoam wreath you can make a beautiful decorative wreath like this one in the picture. To match the unicorn theme of the room, it can be further finished off with a horn and ears. These can be easily made from felt and some cotton wool and attached to the wreath with hot glue. Such a decoration is easy to make, but looks very effective.
Children's drawings are of course also allowed in a unicorn children's room. They give the room a completely new look and appear very personal. If the child is small, you can draw a beautiful child's picture and put it in a frame. Use bright colors that set the mood and go well with the rest of the decor. The more colorful, the better!
In general, any decoration with a round shape can be turned into a unicorn. You can even add a horn to a dream catcher and it will quickly match the theme of the room. But you can have a unicornMake your own dream catcherand embellish it with colorful threads and decorative ribbons. A few artificial flowers like these for the wreath are also possible.
Even smaller objects that are used in everyday life can be designed with a unicorn motif. With a little creativity, you can transform table lamps, clay pots, pen holders and others into magical unicorns. A simple example with a clay pot can be found in the picture. First, the pot is painted white and then decorated with cute eyes and blush on the cheeks. Then the horn is made out of glittery paper and a flower crown is made out of artificial flowers and attached to the pot. It's finishedUnicorn decorationfor the children's room for girls.
Another decorative idea that is suitable for both the wall and shelves is this pretty garland. To do this, you should make several small unicorns out of felt and then tie them on a string. To make the unicorns you need felt, a unicorn template, cotton wool as filling material, as well as a needle and thread. Of course, it's quicker to use a sewing machine if you have experience with it.
With the crafted felt unicorns you can not only make garlands, but also make a beautiful mobile for the baby's room. Make other motifs out of felt, such as clouds or stars, to make the mobile even more beautiful for your child.
