Last week I met with a client which turned out to be quite interesting. Met with a young couple, parent to a 4 year old boy, who was very clear that he wanted a car bed. The lady wanted a "classy room", as she put it and the gentlman wanted what his son wanted plus a gas station shaped chest of drawers and a garage wardrobe ...the works. The lady was very practical and did not want to spend too much on a 4 year olds room. My advice to them was ..."you can have both"...you don't have to spend too much money to get a car theme and still make it the best room that your son will have ..have a car bed, and have the rest of the furniture in a nice "classy" colour scheme. Accessorize it to reinforce the theme.
This applies to anyone deciding between themes. Try to focus on a theme that can have a longer transitional time. For example, a child who wants certain cartoon characters at 4, will probably not be interested in that same character at 6. Hence its important to choose themes that are timeless and your toddler will not outgrow till he/she is into his preteen years.

If she loves Cinderella or snowwhite a Princess theme is classic. If your child insists for the Disney Princesses you could reinforce the theme with Wall Stickers of their favorite character. These could be easily peeled off when they out grow it. Other examples of classic girls theme include Spring garden, butterflies, fairies, etc.
