When you say only one bathroom before, I assume that means there is no 1/2 bath in the main part of the house. "Guests'" doesn't just refer to house guests, it's basically anyone who would ever be in your house, right? If that's the case, I wouldn't just let DD get free reign. I would probably pick the paint color but let her pick some kid towels, soap, etc. When you are entertaining adults, I would put the adult towels and grown up decor back out.
If you're talking about a bathroom that is tucked out of the way by the bedrooms and only overnight guests see it when they stay once a year, then yes, I would let her pick what she wants.

Yeah, there's a compromise here. I'd let her do some decorating. Maybe I'd give her a bunch of options and let her pick from those. Or I'd ask her to pick several options and I'd select the best of that bunch.
I'd be less hesitant on paint, partly because I hate painting and paying for painters, but if it doesn't bother you I'd go the options route above so I didn't end up with bubblegum walls.
Team DD. I really don't think people who are in your home will be OMG OFFENDED that a kid lives there. I mean, really. Unless you're running a business out of your house and need to have professional clients using that restroom or something, there is no downside here. Especially since it sounds like she has good taste! A Hello Kitty soap dispenser isn't going to horrify anyone.
Team DD. IMO our kids are little only a short time so why not? In 5 years I guarantee you wont look back and regret letting her have a pink bathroom for a couple of years.
However my upstairs bathroom is currently star wars so there is that. Lol
I don't know why y'all are answering Bluesky. She's not going to listen to any of y'all anyways.
I know this comes up often, but for the life of me I can't remember the backstory on this one. Was bluesky the one who was, um, sensitive, about being tall?

No the racist who wanted to know if all Asians owned nice cars. And there's other stuff but my mind isn't working just now.

Oh, well then. 😒 I had no idea; thanks for the info.
I might want a say in the color choice - like a light pink, great. Bright bubblegum pink? Not so much. But past that - I'm team DD. It's a bathroom. Your guests aren't going to care.
