When a little boy becomes a big boy, you know it’s time to upgrade his room. Preparing for elementary school, change of interests and a new phase of live. Personal taste and functional storage solutions are key while designing a child’s room. In this case it was all about a space theme.
A growing child
When a small child grows into a big kid a lot of things change.
In this case this little man had a clear vision:
His parent’s wish list?
Boy’s bedroom
By repeating furniture style and curtains like in the other rooms of this house, harmony is created.
By keeping the floor (beautiful natural oak) and the in-between curtains (linen look) neutral, there was room for personal accents through colour. His choice for dark blue resulted in dark blue blackout curtains and a matching wall colour.
By choosing for the addition of wall stickers in a space theme, we kept the style ‘flexible’ for years to come.
The desk is created to this little boy’s size. Easy to replace with a proper desk as soon as he grows into it. Functional design is also about future proof thinking!
Plenty of space for books and other personal items is provided by the open bookcases.
When your client is inviting you back to see the result of your project and you find the boy’s room tidy and in full use, you know the design works for him!
It means he feels at home.
