If you are a fan of pastel colors, oversized sweaters, mom jeans, and an overall ultra-feminine style, you have likely already heard of the soft life or soft girl aesthetic.
This trendy style of decorating your bedroom space has been making the rounds on social media as of late, specifically on the social media platform TikTok.
But if you’re at a loss for what I’m talking about, this article will be your guide in knowing all about and creating the perfect, oh-so-dreamy soft girl bedroom aesthetic.
So, before we begin, let’s get a handle on what a soft girl aesthetic really entails. And then we can go about designing the perfect bedroom that you’ve always dreamt of in a few simple steps.
Let’s go!
What is a Soft Girl Aesthetic?
The soft girl aesthetic is a subculture that gained popularity through TikTok. The trend basically consists of pastel colors, anime, K-pop, 90s inspired clothing, Y2K, as well as nostalgic and cute prints.
This aesthetic is generally popular among women who like everything with a cutesy and feminine look. You will very often see features of pink and yellow colors in this type of design along with heart and floral patterns as part of it.
When it comes to soft life décor, you don't need complicated designs or patterns. Simple will do. The primary theme is, of course, to look cute.
While everything about a soft girl is minimalist, the jewelry can be on the maximalist side. Think: multiple rings and shimmery hair clips.
Soft girl style leans into the traditional feminine forms of expression. It embraces girlhood that is often labeled as a weakness, such as sensitivity. The aesthetic doesn't shy away from things that can often be written off as childish and girly, such as stuffed animals, heavy makeup, pink bedroom décor, Hello Kitty, and so on.
Now that we know what the soft girl aesthetic truly means, let's take a look at how you can create the ultimate bedroom space inspired by this beautifully feminine style.
How to Create the Ultimate Soft Girl Bedroom Space
Pick a Color Palette for Your Soft Space
There’s a lot to love about aesthetic room ideas. One of the top reasons why I find the idea of redecorating your room so much fun is because you get to choose the color palette for your space.
When it comes to a soft girl space, you may want to turn up the volume on pink.
Pink represents self-care and love and gives an instant look of softness. You can paint the walls pink or use a pink wallpaper. You can also invest in rose-colored bedsheets to go along with the color.
But you don’t have to stick to pink if it’s not your jam. The point is to pick one theme and then grow your décor vision from there. Whether you want a ton of coordinating colors or just want to keep it simple, you should always have one base color to ground the room.
If you’re not a fan of too much pink, some other soft pastel colors for your soft girl bedroom space are light blue, yellow, a simple white, or light gray.
Add Soft Girl Wall Décor
Once you have decided on the foundation color for your room, it's time to move ahead and start adding some cute décor to your walls.
Usually, soft girl aesthetic bedrooms are characterized by feminine and cute kawaii icons such as hearts and flowers.
This could also include things like soft or muted wallpapers, anime wall art, a portrait wall, and tapestries.
Dreamcatchers and hanging string lights and ivies are also a usual part of soft wall décor. Pastel-hued art prints are another popular choice for those looking to create a soft space.
Change Your Bedding to Match the Soft Space
Bedding plays a huge role in creating the ultimate soft girl aesthetic of self-care and love.
You can choose bedding patterns that consist of strawberries and roses if you are going for the cutesy look. If you want to go for a more minimalist and classy style, a plain light gray duvet matched with pink bedsheets is a great combination.
To add depth to the bedding so that it all doesn’t look the plain, add lots and lots of pillows and cushions. Accompany the soft pillows with plush teddies.
To round it all off, you can also add a nice furry throw towards the edge of the bed.
If you want to go a step further, consider adding a bed canopy over the bed to give the perfect cottagecore vibe to your room.
Soft Girl Bedroom Décor
When it comes to décor pieces for your soft girl bedroom space, the options are endless. Some items that can give your room a soft life include:
· Flowers
· Cute oil lamps
· Glittery or resin jewelry boxes
· Light-colored shelf up high
Consider Incorporating an Oversized Mirror
Oversized mirrors are the name of the game when it comes to creating the perfect soft girl space. Not only will it help bring the room together but you’ll also be able to throw together the perfect soft girl outfit in no time!
For an added oomph, add string lights around the mirror to add to the beauty of the room.
Add a Cozy Nook to Relax In
When all the essential elements of the room are done, it all comes down to adding a few bits and bobs there to make the space your own.
A great addition to any cozy room would be to add a little nook to relax and read a book in. You can add a saucer chair and throw on some pretty throw pillows to create the perfect corner to curl up with your favorite book.
Weave In a Swing Chair
A creative way to implement the idea of a lounging nook is to weave in a swing chair. It is the ultimate mix of relaxing and playful. A weaved chair is definitely going to take your soft girl room’s cozy vibe to the next level!
