<p>A fantastic fairytale bedroom doesn’t have to be over the top. If you’d like to bring a little magic into your boudoir then take a look at these tips for creating the ultimate fairytale bedroom.</p>
<p><strong>1. Light and Soft</strong></p>
<p>If you want to create an ethereal feel in your room then choose light and soft colours for your walls like white, cream and pastel blue. If you’re planning a feature wall then choose paper that fits your theme.</p>
<p>Baroque flourishes or a beautiful floral design will work wonderfully. Keep flooring neutral too, try painted floorboards adorned with opulent rugs. Tapestry style or sheepskin rugs are ideal for creating a warm and cosy feel.</p>
<p><strong>2. Better Bed</strong></p>
<p>Every princess needs a fitting bed so make sure yours is dripping in opulent fabrics and throws. Lots of bedding in different textures is the perfect way to give your bedroom a high end feel without breaking the bank.</p>
<p>You can even construct your own canopy using balsa wood and the fabric of your choice, or you can buy a canopy that you simply fix to the wall above your bed.</p>
<p>However, there’s no point adorning an uncomfortable bed so first and foremost make sure your bed is firm and comfortable.</p>
<p><strong>3. Furniture Flourish</strong></p>
<p>Furniture with a flourish is the order of the day if you want to create a fairytale feel, so look for traditional pieces rather than modern, clean lines.</p>
<p>Choose natural or painted wood furniture and add extra interest by opting for bejewelled handles. Or if you’re saving money, you could try decoupaging your old furniture.</p>
<p>You can buy materials online to create all sorts of decoupage so you’ll be able to find images that perfectly suit your fairly them.</p>
<p>Then it’s just a question of cutting out and sticking on, but beware, you’ll need to be willing to spend a lot of time and effort getting your furniture looking perfect.</p>
<p><strong>4. Special Features</strong></p>
<p>You can find tons of fabulous items online that can give your bedroom a fairytale feel.</p>
<p>Look for decorative wall clocks, gilded mirrors and crystal beaded lamps and fill your room with unique, timeless pieces that no one else will have.</p>
<p>Add to the other worldly feel by incorporating lots of fairy lights too. They look great wrapped around a mirror or draped over a headboard, or you can even hang them from the ceiling.</p>

<p><strong>5. Magical Scents</strong></p>
<p>Last but not least, you can enhance your bedroom space with smell!</p>
<p>Any bedroom fit for a princess needs to be wonderfully scented so make sure you incorporate the smells you love with scented candles, but make sure they’re in a safe place away from fire hazards and that you blow them out before you go to sleep.</p>
<p>If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in your bedroom filling it with candles creates a wonderful focal point, or you can place them on windowsills, bedside tables or mantle pieces.</p>
<p>So if you want to design a bedroom that you truly love then don’t follow fads, opt for timeless, traditional decor with a magical twist and design a fairytale bedroom fit for any princess!</p>
