9 Fairy Bedroom Decor Ideas: The Basic Steps in Creating Your Magical Space

On this Post

Can you ever imagine that you are living in a fairytale kingdom? Think twinkling lights, bits of sparkle, that elusive a magical dust feeling where every corner of your bedroom feels like a fairy tale. Well, you don’t have to wait for a fairy godmother to ‘magically’ change your bedroom—for fairy bedroom decor is already here!

For me, as a person who has always enjoyed interior design and home styling, there is nothing more wonderful than a bedroom that would be like another world. So it’s not just a bedroom or even a living room, or some kind of cabin where people can temporarily settle down; it’s a refuge, and a refuge is a place you can let your mind wander. But if you’re craving magic in your life, a fairy-themed bedroom might just fit the bill.

Without further ado, below are 9 beautiful fairy bedroom decor ideas to take you to a magical kingdom!

1. Fairy Twinkle Lights To Create The Ambiance

I believe every fairy bedroom decor must have fairy lights. Well, it’s as if adding them creates the sort of atmosphere that would instantly transform the room into some sort of enchanting place. It is very true; there is nothing that will instantly transform a room from dull to romantic, like the use of soft, warm lighting.

For instance, with my room decor, I wrapped the magical lights at the sides of the bed frame, and that immediately changed the mood and look of the room to a warm, neon-like setting. I even hung them on the curtains and around some of the shelves. What is more, you can use battery-operated glitter lights, so you can put them anywhere without having to worry about the outlet.

Tip: For that dream-like touch, warm white or soft pink should be used. While very bright lights may cancel out some of the enchantment, soft and flashing ones? Perfect.

2. Picking the Beautiful Tulle Canopy for the Dreamland

I love the idea of crafting a fairy bedroom decor  because it allows me to use loose fabrics in the room decor. When it comes to a tulle canopy over your bed, you will be surprised at how much your room changes. The first time I managed to decorate my bedroom with a sheer canopy, I actually felt as if I had entered a fairy tale. Tulle looks very light in this case, and it forms some kind of haze in the air, giving the whole idea a rather frivolous shade.

This material is easy to install because you can hang the tulle canopy from the ceiling, or you can use the four-poster bed and then drape over it. You may want to bring a sprinkle of lights to this area by mixing in string lights!

3. Soft Pastel Color Palette

There are few areas in the house where you can get away with bold and whimsical shades as you can when decorating a magical bedroom; the color will make or break the theme. Subtle shades associated with baby blues, peaches, mint greens, and baby pinks, lilac grays and lavender yellows are ideal. These shades give a mood of tranquility and calmness that afterward gives a feeling of a dream.

For instance, various shades of pink can be used for walls, while both the bed linen and furniture will give you that fairytale look you desire. Some time back, I decided to change my room wall color to a lighter shade of lavender and blusher pink throw pillows—oh, what a transformation! It was immediately that the place felt magical.

Tip: If you don’t feel like painting your walls a pastel hue, you can add pastel enhancements like pillows, rugs, or bedding. It’s a good opportunity to get that fairy theme without significant effort at the same time.

4. Delicate Floral Accents

Blowing flowers here and there in rooms, especially the bedroom, because everything in the stories is fairy-inspired. You can incorporate them in so many aspects, as a floral pattern on your bedding or even the dried flowers in a vase. I recall one day putting a bunch of lavender and baby’s breath in a rather endearing vase near my bed, and then the room seemed to belong to the meadow.

Floral accents can be large if you wish, or they can be measured in petal size, depending on the design you have in mind. You could even add floral wallpaper on one accent wall in order to create a more conspicuous look. Remember to keep the flowers tender like in a fairytale land.

Tip: Why not create your flower garland or your wall art if you love doing DIY? You can achieve this using faux flowers. It’s cheap and makes it more interesting when giving that special touch.

5. Magical Fairy Mirrors

In their own rights, mirrors can be the most magical of all tools. They can also bounce light in fairy bedroom decor, so your space will be brighter and larger than it actually is. It’s not just any mirror but a cute, magical mirror.

In my room, I have this stunning mirror with the thin gold trimmings that one would expect to see in a fairy’s house. It’s still appropriate, but also gives it a little more class and doesn’t make it lose the fairytale feel. For a cute look, you can go for a star or moon cut-out, or if you prefer a more detailed design, you can look for an embellished frame with details such as vines or flowers.

Obviously, if you are to achieve your fairy bedroom decor, which should be warm and as comfortable as possible, then you have to pay attention to the bedding. It is advisable to go for easy-to-wear fabrics like cotton, linen, or velvet due to the comfort that they provide. The main concept of fairy bedroom decor is all about designing multiple layers of soft and fluffy components so that you would not want to leave your room.

I just adore bedding with flowers, lace, or even the sheen look on them. Absolutely adorable is a duvet cover in soft pastel colors with lace or embroidery—it can look truly finished off. But what about throw pillows? They should also be of different textures to complement the comfort of the particular interior.

Tip: Some additional superb decor items are adding a faux fur throw blanket. I LOVE it—it gives your bed an even more ethereal feel!

7. Hanging gardens or Terrariums

Sprucing up a small portion of your bedroom with a plant or two is a perfect way to make the fairy bedroom decoration stout and magical. Some people claim that plants simply take life into an additional room, and when placed expediently, you can turn your room into a secret garden.

I bought some hanging baskets and placed them in my room with some ivy and succulents hanging from them. It really brightened up the room. You could also hang a small terrarium with moss and tiny flowers, more like a fairy garden look.

Tip: If you don’t have a green thumb, choose easy plants to grow, such as succulents or epiphytes, or use fake plants—they’re good to go!

8. Fairy-Themed Wall Art

As your walls are now, they are the background of your fairy bedroom, so why not add some paintings in relation to the room’s theme? Consider prints with cute illustrations of fairy tales or bright middle of the forest, or soft abstract paintings in light colors. It will definitely provide your room with some touch of magic as well as personality.

In my own bedroom, I placed a watercolor picture of a fairy that is dancing amidst trees. In a sense, it’s still a fairy tale but doesn’t depict the fairy tale idea directly. If you’re in the mood for something more personal, you can create your own wall art by framing photos of flowers, stars, or anything that is miraculous to you.

9. Vintage-Style Furniture

Lastly, a fairy bedroom must also contain some antique or retro hue in the furniture delivered to the bedroom. Picture yourself with small, intricate musical instruments with a story behind them. I bought a small dressing table from a thrift shop and painted it white to complement its appearance with the rest of the space. The furniture brings in character and contributes to the final fairy-tale theme.

If it’s an old chair, a nightstand, or a beautiful chest of drawers, having one or two in the room gives it that mysterious, old-world feeling.
