Purple is definitely the new Pink. It has become the favorite color of many young girls and teens today. Darker shades of purple like Byzantium, Regalia, Byzantine are said to be a favorite only amongst teens and adults. Young girls have been said to like the lighter shades of purple such as lilac, lavender and wisteria. But this is not true! Times have changed and young girls are liking both the darker and lighter shades of the color as well. Some kids love this color because it is associated with magic. Magic magicians in books and movies are known to wear purple robes and pointed hats. Some of the robes worn by the actors in the famous Harry Potter, are a good example of this. Dark shades of purple are associated more with magic than the lighter shades.

Purple is also considered to be a royalty color. Many years ago, this color was very expensive to make and only the rich had the privilege of purchasing it. Only kings and emperors were known to wear purple robes. This color was even a favorite of Egypt's Queen Cleopatra. That's why you may see many princess toys, bedding and decor with the color purple. Pink is not exactly a royalty color to some but it has been used in combination with purple to create a princess-themed bedroom. Gold is a royalty color and has been used to create this bedroom theme as well. Both purple and gold look great together.

Tip: A solid gold or purple bedding set can always be used for the bed if you are not willing to pay a little extra cash for a princess-themed bedding set. Always throw in a couple of decorative pillows and a bed ruffle to the bed. These extra bedding essentials will not only complete the look of the bed but it will add an extra touch of royalty to the bedroom. Ruffles on the trim of the bedding and pillows is a great choice for this particular bedroom theme.

Also, canopy beds have a royal feel about them. Don't have enough money for a canopy bed? Create the illusion of a canopy bed by simply installing 4 hooks on each end of the ceiling where you would like the fabric to hang. Place curtain rings onto the hooks and drape long swags of light sheer curtains through the selected rings. Finally, allow the curtains to fall to the floor and vuala! A beautiful canopy bed made for a princess.
