Category: Kids Rooms

Children’s bedrooms, where kids can grow in and be creative are the best and ideal rooms.  I think this can be done by treating the room as a place where children would play, study and spend time with their friends instead of just a room where they would go only to sleep.  Functional elements as task light for reading, multi-functional furniture and if money it’s not a problem, build-ins with space for homework area are ways to make the room not only more spacious and tailored to their growing needs, but also a space where their imagination can go wild.  As every other room in the house, children’s bedroom should be designed to the kid’s own style and needs while prioritizing safety, of course with the guidance of a professional designer and or a stylish parent.  They are never too young to start polishing their taste, right?.  I love each and every one of these 12 modern children’s bedrooms below.  They are beautifully done while child-tailored-made without looking too adult or too childish. Enjoy!

Everyone knows that designing a house and making it feel like a home takes many long and exhausting months, if not years.  So when I realized that I would only have two months to plan, design, execute, anticipate the smallest details and to think about what we might be needing in the future, I know that in order to not go insanely crazy, I had to rely on things that were not too expensive and too valuable but still good looking.  I don’t know much about Sao Paulo yet, but I know that things tend to cost three times more.  So where did I go to for basic
things as art? right! Ikea.  I was planning to buy things such as a mattress for our little one, a foot step for his sink  and so on.  Imagine my surprise when walking around I found very good looking prints!  God, was I glad, there are an awful lot of empty walls in this house that will need to be filled. We got the second one below by Deborah Azzopardi for Lucas’s room, of which I will only tell you that it will have a bunch of stripes.  Yeah!

 

 The top is a motif by Amelia Lancaster.  Bellow, Ikea’s selection of Matisse motifs.   We also got one or two of those.

What a great way of making better use of narrow or awkward spaces. Notice in the bottom picture how the ceiling was customized to frame the beds to define the space better and make the room feel cozier. I love the contrast between the pink fabrics and teak wood in the top picture.
