Two Rooms, Two Stories
Whimsy and Wonder: Designing Vibrant, Personalized Bedrooms for Two Creative Souls
In this fun project, we had the delightful challenge of designing two separate bedrooms, each reflecting the unique personalities of their young occupants—a creative 9-year-old with an artistic flair and a 7-year-old who absolutely adores pink. The result is a playful exploration of color, with one room featuring bold combinations of blues and reds to inspire creativity, while the other bursts with vibrant pinks complemented by fresh greens for a cheerful, lively vibe. Both spaces are thoughtfully designed to spark imagination and provide cozy, personalized retreats for each child.
“A child’s room should be a canvas for their imagination, where every color, texture, and detail tells their unique story.”
For the 9-year-old young artist’s bedroom, we started with a clean slate and decided to create a cozy bed nook that doubles as both a sleeping area and a creative space. We designed a custom-built nook with integrated bookshelves to neatly store all of the artist’s materials and toys, keeping the space organized yet inspiring.
To make the bed multifunctional, we topped it with an assortment of different-shaped cushions, transforming it into a comfy sofa perfect for reading or relaxing. We love the bold combination of blue and red, which we highlighted through carefully selected fabrics, adding vibrancy and energy to the space.
Adding a personal touch, we beautifully decorated with the artist’s own paintings, turning their creations into a meaningful part of the room’s design.
For the walls, we chose a beautiful blue shade from Farrow & Ball, pairing it with a darker-toned blue for the window frames to create depth and contrast. This rich color palette is perfectly complemented by striking beige and red curtains, which serve as a statement piece, adding warmth and a dynamic pop of color to the room. The result is a vibrant, functional space that nurtures creativity and comfort in equal measure.
For the 7-year-old girl’s bedroom, we took a completely different design direction to reflect her love for all things pink. She already had a beautiful bed, inherited from her aunt, so we decided to give it new life by adding a charming canopy made from green fabric with a subtle touch of pink.
This fresh color combination sets the tone for the entire room, where greens and pinks are woven throughout the design—from the soft, flowy curtains to the cozy rug and the carefully curated bed decor. The result is a whimsical, cheerful space that feels both timeless and uniquely hers, blending sentimental pieces with playful, modern touches.
To add a magical touch, we selected a charming wallpaper for the wall opposite the bed, resembling an enchanted forest filled with birds and flowers, creating a whimsical backdrop that sparks the imagination. As a heartfelt detail, we hung an old dollhouse, lovingly painted by her grandmother, and repurposed it as a bookshelf.
