She's turning eight shortly, so needs something that is definitely not little girlish, but not like a teenager's room either. She wants a desk to do her homework, space to practice her violin and a lounging area as well.
This is what I've come up with for her...
She will have a white quilt cover, so that if we tire of the accent colours, we can easily change out the accessories. This room also has a niche space that we need to decorate. I think that will be a task for once the walls are up and we can decide what to display in the niche.
Oh, also, please note that the desk and cubes will be white, not beech! No white picture available on the Ikea website!!!
What do you think?
Looks like it will be a gorgeous space M - well done! (And isn't it a ridiculous amount of fun doing mood boards!).
ReplyDeleteOh yes it is fun!! Creating the concept boards keeps me entertained while I'm waiting on the build!
DeleteI love it - the perfect look for a tween with the polka dots, and great desk and cubes. They will be wonderful in white!! Thrilled to find and follow your blog ~
ReplyDeleteThanks, designchic, and welcome! I hope you enjoy our adventures!!
DeleteVery appropriate M. My youngest is 9 and it's a hard age to decorate for because they're not little anymore, nor teenages yet but need the rooms to be still suitable in 5 years time, when they are teens! Love the simplicity of the major pieces and the fun accessories add lots of fun!

Thanks, KL! I have been struggling with this one, but I figure, by the time she's a teen we'll probably be on to our next house anyway!!!!!
DeleteThat will look absolutely beautiful. You will have rooms worthy of a magazine shoot!
ReplyDeleteI love the name pillow, that is adorable.
You sure do know how to put a mean mood board together!
Have a great day.

Thanks, Pen. How are things going with you? Has the weather down there come good yet?
DeleteThis is perfect - I love the pink and aqua. That chair is gorgeous too, I've been hoping someone would want a girl's room so I could use it!
ReplyDeleteHehehe, this is the third girls' room I've spec'd it in in three months!! It was the wrong colour for one, but it was so easy to assemble and so comfy, that I just got it recovered!
