Soft Girl Dreams
Ever wondered what it’s like to live inside a pastel Pinterest board? I decided to give my home a full Soft Girl makeover, think dreamy tones, frilly accents, and touches of whimsical charm in every room.
This look is more than just a pink overload, it’s all about layering softness with personality. Swipe through for a full tour of my ultra-cute transformation.
Cotton Candy Walls
I painted my walls in a barely-there blush tone that instantly softened the entire space. It’s the kind of shade that glows differently throughout the day, almost like a natural filter.
To make it even dreamier, I added a subtle ombré wall in my reading nook that fades from pink to lilac, super Pinterest-core and super magical.
Curvy Mirror Moment
No Soft Girl home is complete without a wavy mirror that feels like it belongs in a pop star’s dressing room. I thrifted one and painted the frame gold with a glossy finish.
It doubles as a cute selfie spot and bounces light around the room beautifully. Trust me, this one tiny detail makes the biggest aesthetic difference.
Strawberry Milk Bedding
This is your sign to ditch plain white sheets and go for a plush bedding set in creamy pinks and soft ginghams. I layered velvet throws, ruffled pillowcases, and a milk-tea-toned duvet for that sleepover feel.
Every time I walk in, it feels like a hug. Bonus: It photographs like a dream, Soft Girl Pinterest would totally approve.
Cloud Light Hack
Want to add a literal glow-up? I DIY’d a floating cloud light using paper lanterns, LED strips, and pillow stuffing, and it’s now the star of my ceiling.
It gives off the softest, diffused light and makes the whole room feel like a pastel sky. If you’re looking for that one showstopper piece, this is it.
Skirted Table Style
I gave my console table a dreamy upgrade by draping it with soft lace fabric, and it totally changed the vibe. It instantly gave off that cottagecore-meets-soft-girl charm that feels both cozy and elegant.
I layered sheer textures for a romantic look and topped it with fresh tulips and vintage glassware. It’s sweet, dainty, and looks like something straight out of an old Tumblr aesthetic board.
Moodboard Wall
Instead of typical artwork, I created a full Soft Girl-style mood board wall using mini prints, Polaroids, washi tape, and affirmations. Think doodles, blush-toned inspo, Y2K stickers, and glittery quotes all layered up.
It’s personal, changeable, and gives the room a lived-in yet curated vibe. Plus, it doubles as a conversation starter when guests walk in.
Bunny Shelf Decor
I leaned into the adorable side of Soft Girl style with tiny ceramic bunnies, heart-shaped trinkets, and pastel candles on my bookshelf. No clutter but just curated cuteness.
Mixing soft pinks, lavender glass, and glittery jars made it feel playful but still elevated. It’s the little accents that really bring the aesthetic together without overwhelming the space.
Juicy Gloss Station
Here’s a fun one: I turned a small corner shelf into a mini Soft Girl beauty bar filled with lip glosses, scrunchies, and perfume mists. It’s my glam zone, and it gives my room personality.
The key is to color-block products by hue and place them on a mirrored tray. Cute and functional? That’s Soft Girl perfection.
Frilly Curtain Swap
I replaced my old curtains with sheer, ruffled panels in soft white, and suddenly my space felt way more romantic. They let in just the right amount of light to give everything that dreamy glow.
I even tied them back with pastel ribbon bows for an extra touch of charm. It’s soft, subtle, and makes the whole room feel floaty.
Plushie Corner Setup
I curated a tiny plushie corner in the living room with pastel stuffed animals and kawaii pillows stacked on a tufted bench. It’s playful without looking like a toy store.
I kept the palette muted to match the decor, with creamy pinks, soft mints, and faded lilacs. It’s an unexpected detail and secretly my favorite cozy nook.
Faux Cake Decor
This might sound wild, but I DIY’d fake cake slices to use as display pieces, and they’re honestly show-stoppers. Made with lightweight spackle, paint, and piping tips, they look good enough to eat.
I placed them on a pastel cake stand as table decor, and guests always do a double-take. It’s kitschy, girly, and oh-so-Soft Girl.
Glossy Floor Mat
I swapped my standard doormat for a glossy, bubble-textured mat in a heart shape, and it’s way more of a vibe. It catches the light and adds a playful pop the moment you walk in.
Even better? It’s easy to clean and surprisingly durable. A Soft Girl space starts at the floor, and this little detail sets the tone.
Candy Jar Shelf
I dedicated a small shelf to vintage-style candy jars, but not for sweets. I filled them with pearl hair clips, glitter pens, and pastel nail polish bottles.
It’s playful, unexpected, and doubles as storage and decor. The mix of glass textures and colors adds charm without clutter. Think Y2K vanity meets cozy cottagecore aesthetic.
Instagram Nook Alert
Every Soft Girl home needs one spot that’s made for the ‘Gram, mine’s a reading nook with layered rugs, oversized bows, and a faux cherry blossom branch overhead.
I threw in a furry stool and heart mirror to complete the look. It’s not just photogenic, it’s functional too. If you’re into cozy corners like this, check out 16 cozy nooks straight out of a romance movie for more inspiration.
Pastel Kitchen Pop
Soft Girl doesn’t stop at the bedroom. I brought the look into the kitchen with pale pink appliances, a heart-shaped mug rack, and sprinkle-colored dish towels.
I even found blush storage containers for flour and sugar. It’s small touches like these that make everyday routines feel magical. If you want to take the pastel magic further, pastel makeover for a cool summer study room shows how to sprinkle that dreamy vibe into every corner of your home.
