if you did the painting yourself, the least expensive option is to paint it a lighter color from the paint strip. you can spend a lot of money doing decorating things you don't like or buying a lot of art that costs way more than another gallon of paint.

I agree with prior poster about changing the walls if you don't like them. However, if you chose to keep the walls, here are ways around it. Since this is a bright color, it's a perfect fit to go with white and black. You can use white and black in a multitude of ways - picture frames, prints, lamp bases or shades, accessories, etc. Remember that if you put a lot of this wall color in the room, it won't have as much punch as if you stick with the white and black. Also, keep everything else black and white as well. The current brown of the furniture and the lavender of the shelves are going to fight visually with the walls. I know since it's a little girls room you may think that white and black will be to harsh, but if you pepper it with a small white and black print for either the curtains or the bedspread, that's a way to soften the entire look. When I put bright aqua toddlers room in pictures in the above search box, one of the options is adding pink and lime green. You may get more ideas there. It depends on your taste. If you Google bright aqua toddlers bedroom with white and black, you'll see some neat ideas.

I would paint the walls again too :( I know it's a pain. I have overdone it with a color in a bedroom like this though, and spent years, literally 5 years in that house, trying to work with the color. I never really liked that room until we moved and the real estate agent asked me to re-paint it a lighter color for staging.

OK. Ya it's disappointing. I was originally going to paint it the lighter shade on the same paint strip but my husband talked me into the brighter color :( was thinking that I could just work with it.

What about an accent wall?

Thank you er612. I will try that. Will see about the bedding, the plan was to keep it. Will probably paint the bedframe white and get a new shelf beside the bed. My daughter likes the color so I guess that is what really matters but I don't want to cringe everytime I walk in there. Hoping to make it work. Thank u :)

IMO the color is too much for a bedroom maybe just do some horizontal white stripes to break up all the strong color

OUCH!!!!!!!!!! Three or Four shades lighter please! white curtains
