When my two girls started sharing a bedroom, it was time for a design update. I wanted the space to feel special but still playful. My girls love lights, mermaids, color, and dress-up. So, I focused on simple ideas that would spark imagination and grow with them. These toddler girls bedroom cute ideas came together with a mix of DIY projects, meaningful details, and things we already owned.

Girls Bedroom Highlights
First, the DIY mermaid pennant banner became the focal point of the room. I love sewing, so I spent one evening making this sweet accent. I cut out mermaid scales from silky fabric and layered them with quilt batting. Then I stitched each pennant onto a ribbon. A simple top stitch finished the edges. It was a quick project, but it made a big impact.
Next, I kept accessories simple and budget-friendly. I didn’t buy new decor. Instead, I reused items from around our home. An old vase filled with corks and faux blue flowers added texture. An inflatable mermaid pool toy became wall decor. I even brought in a Packable Pail from the sandbox to hold small toys. I love decorating with items that are both useful and fun, and double as kids activities.

Twinkle lights were another easy addition. They add instant magic and are very affordable. I stock up on lights after Halloween and Christmas when they go on sale. Twinkle lights are perfect for a toddler girls bedroom and a cute idea that feels cozy and dreamy all year long.

We also focused on interactive toys. My girls daily used this secondhand dress-up vanity and a turtle-shaped constellation night light. I tried to limit toy clutter and only keep toys that encouraged creative play.


DIY Kids Bedroom Accents
A mermaid tail blanket was a must. I had seen them for sale and finally made one myself. A mermaid tail blanket is a simple girls bedroom accent but special for cozy reading time. I designed the blanket large enough for growing legs, so my girls can enjoy it for years to come.
I also repurposed an old trunk from a garage sale. After sanding and painting it, it became a mermaid-themed treasure chest. We used it to hold dress-up clothes and accessories.

QuickZip Zip-On Sheets
For bedding, I chose a colorful striped comforter with a matching pillow sham, and QuickZip Sheets for a twin bed. Because changing kids sheets on bunk beds can be tricky, these zip-on sheets are very convenient. Once the base is on the mattress, the top sheet zips on in seconds. The base stays in place, while the top sheet can be swapped out as often as necessary. My daughter especially loved the soft fleece sheet option. It felt like sleeping on a cozy blanket.


Designing this shared space for my girls was such a joy. These toddler girls bedroom cute ideas helped create a room where my girls can play, imagine, and grow together. It’s simple, meaningful, and full of magic โ just the way childhood should be.
