Any ideas on cool stuff for a kids bedroom that is both fun/exciting and relaxing?

About to start decorating 8 year olds bedroom. She sleeps with me in my bed pretty exclusively at the moment. I don’t want to pressure her into going to sleep in her room but I think it would ultimately be good for her if she does.

So I was wondering if there’s anything specific I could do with her room that will make it exciting for her & get her to want to sleep in there. Getting one of those high up beds is not really an option right now because she has nightmares at least a few times a week & sometimes gets up still half asleep, so it would freak me out with having to navigate a ladder. I just want it to be fun and feel super safe & relaxing for her.

Use calming colours, pastel like a pale blue, turquoise, lilac, lemon or pink. Don't make it too fussy and don't have too many toys/games in there but have some familiar things she's attached to. Let her choose some of the things too....from a limited choice of yours, lol
Hope it works. I think you'll need some patience judging by her age.

@Lacemaker thanks!!

She’s my sister. I’m 21. But if things go to plan I’ll have adopted her by christmas 🧡
