I love designing kids’ rooms.
There are no boundaries. In fact, I want to go bolder and more creative in a child’s space. Their little minds are fascinating places, and their rooms should be too.
I have often expressed my feelings about a kid’s room being a reflection of themselves and a space that they can not only be comfortable in, but be proud of. It is easy for us to get caught up in wanting our homes, in their entirety, to “feel” a certain way or reflect a particular “designer” look. But the fact of the matter is, our children live here too. And their rooms are EXACTLY that: theirs.
I will be honest, when I started this project, I thought it would be pretty simple. I have a good grasp on my inner child and like to think I am pretty in tune with picking what a kiddo would like.
However, I soon learned that my client, McKenzie, was harder to please than 99% of adults that I work with. She was VERY particular, knew EXACTLY what she wanted and I will admit, quite a number of revisions were made to the Design Plan.
In the end, I was able to give M a room that she not only loves now, but will continue to love as she grows into a young adult.
The Design
McKenzie knew she wanted a wallpaper wall. I’m not sure I know many other 8 year olds who are so precise in their design taste, but I LOVED it! After reviewing and discussing many options, together we agreed upon THIS ONE. The combination of pinks and purple florals proved perfect.
From there, I was able to start designing: coordinating bedding, lighting and accessories. She was even determined to have a hanging chair in her space. She is a girl who knows what she wants and she got it! This space turned out amazing.
