Ideas for decorating a 10 year-olds room in a figure skating theme?
I want to redo my daughters room, who is 10 years-old. She loves figure skating, but I am really having a hard time finding decorating ideas. Anybody have any that won’t break the bank?

That’s a tough one, one thought: Find some old reproductions of Blank and white posters of famous skaters and Olympians, like Sonia Henje, Dorothy Hamill, etc. Frame them identically in plain black frames, paint the walls an icey blue or pink,
carpet in a silvery gray or white, or more cheaply a large round area rug, like a rink shape. A big fluffy white area rug that resembles snow is a thought. Bean bags in light pastel tones to resemble snow. Lots of reflective surfaces and/or mirrors. You could paint her furniture either shiny white or black lacquer depending on look you want to achieve. Just think sparkle…don’t forget pillows and mood lighting. Well placed christmas lights could mimic the night sky.
Well, that’s a start…have fun!

Since figure skating attire is very flashy, bright & sparkly I would get a bed spread & a bunch of pillows with sequins, tassels, fringe & silk. I would also maybe put a pair of ice skates on a shelf & some pictures & poster of her favorite figure skaters….I cant really think of any thing else, man you got a tough one. I hope this helps! Good Luck 
I wouldn’t go too drastic on this one. Chances are that in 2-3 years, she will want to change it again and the fluffy rugs and pink walls will be embarrassing.
Go for a neutral tone on the walls like a cool gray. Do a white bedspread and a silver or white rug (non fluffy). Stencil out skating figures and skates on black paper and mount on a color like light blue. Frame and nail on walls. Make a series of them to line the wall.
Paint the dresser and bed frame white. It will make everything look fresh. You can also add in a punch of color with some bright blue throw pillows with iron on designs of skating.
You can color the walls a light/winter blue and add some snowflakes stencils in a snowy white. Get a skating poster or canvas transfer print and some inexpensive accessories to set around the room.
I found this prints:
Good luck!
