Looking for a fairy-tale room that's practical for your budget, and your toddler? Take a look at this pretty in pink butterfly princess toddler bedroom. It's fun, functional, and adorable! From a pint-sized chandelier to floating butterflies and beautiful books, this room is full of sweet dreams (and tips).

Comfy Space

Comfy Space

From a plush carpet and fluffy soft bedding to puffy valences with swooped curtains, this room is a comfortable space to sleep and play.

Chandelier

Chandelier

What's a chic princess room without the right lighting? Since my daughter was born, I've oohed and awed at the Pottery Barn Kids bedroom displays, and the chandelier was one of the top pieces I selected to really make the room sparkle.

Instead of shelling out a ton on lighting for a kid room, try the Ikea Kristaller Chandelier ($40). This affordable option has plastic pieces instead of glass or crystal, so it's less breakable. Wrap the cord and chain in a satin ribbon and you have the essential princess room light.

Insider Tip: Change your light switch to a dimmer so you can adjust the amount of light needed. Try the low light dimmer option instead of using a night light for your little one. Since it's overhead, it gives more visibility.

Whimsical Butterfly Clips

Whimsical Butterfly Clips

These feathery butterflies add a touch of fairy tale to a princess pink room. Pottery Barn Kids sells a set of six pink butterfly clips ($19, originally $24), but I also found some sets of white butterflies at a local Walmart store that cost less — they just needed clips glued onto them.

Books

Books

Books are a must have for toddlers and preschoolers, so they absolutely need to be in a princess toddler bedroom. Separate books by type of book, and in sections to space them out. Choose a few favorites for individual display on top of the bookshelf.

Button Letter

Button Letter

Create your own personalized artwork for your child using buttons. Pick colors that best match their room, then glue them onto a decorative paper in the shape of the first letter of their name.

Accessory Hooks

Accessory Hooks

Every princess needs a place to hang her crown, purse, necklaces, and headbands at the end of the day. Displaying dress up accessories creates useful decor for the room, and makes it easier to keep track of things.

Extra Lighting

Extra Lighting

Add some sparkle to the room with mini LED lights! I used small adhesive hooks to create the heart shape with the lights, and chose a white cord instead of green. Because this is a toddler room, these lights aren't always turned on. Leave that for special evening story times, or turn them on and off with a timer attachment.

Tea Time

Tea Time

Set up a place for tea for your little princess and her friends. The extra fluffy rug is a plus. Guests won't want to leave once tea time's over.

Hostess Essentials

You can't have a tea party without a kitchen to get the snacks and tea ready.

Chalkboard Paint

Chalkboard Paint

Choosing the right paint is important in any bedroom. This princess room was painted with zero-VOC Yolo Colorhouse Sprout 6 for the pink, and a local paint shop's Yolo "oops paint" with chalkboard mixture for the white accent wall. Painting with chalkboard paint lets you decorate your child's wall and leave messages that you can change at any time. Plus, they'll have a lot of fun drawing on the designated chalkboard wall.

Fancy Knobs

Fancy Knobs

Dress up your old changing table or dresser with new door knobs and decals (or stencil artwork).

Chic Toys

Chic Toys

Add decorative accessories to stuffed animals and toys so they can be as chic and fantastic as the rest of the room.

Decals

Decals

Adding decals to the walls for added color, instead of painting with stencils, allows you to change the room around a bit more easily as your child grows.

The Princess Toddler Bed

The Princess Toddler Bed

Transform your toddler bed into a day bed fit for a princess. I combined Pottery Barn Kids' Alexa Standard Sham ($25) and pillowcase ($15) with Target's Simply Shabby Chic Rouched Comforter Set ($80-$100) for a full, plush look and feel. Pottery Barn Kids' Pink Classic Tulle Canopy ($69) adds the right amount of whimsical sheer to make the heart lights sparkle. (Ikea's Fabler is $20 and could also work.)

Insider Tip: Buy a twin-size comforter and sheets set so that you can continue using them even after your little girl changes bed frames.
