When we were buying a house I was a busy girl on pinterest pinning ideas for how to decorate the girls bedrooms. Then when we ended up purchasing the house we now have, it was looking for additional ideas and pull together a room that was fit for a girl.
I found that designing a room for an eight year old was a little challenging. She is at a stage that she still like pink and princesses, yet we know that this stage will pass and she will grow up. So we were looking at creating a room that she can grow with and a room that was a “grown up” girls room yet not the room of a teenager.
When we purchased the house I made the bold decision and said “lets go white”. I thought it would be safer to go white and add accessories and colours appropriate to her age. So out we went and purchased white paint with the colour “Chi” and ordered white laminate flooring. We let our daughter pick the wallpaper, she picked a green floral wallpaper with some sparkle and shine by Eijffinger.
We have furnished with her white Hemnes daybed from Ikea, a little white desk and bright pink office chair also by Ikea.
When our daughter was born I painted a toy chest which fitted in nicely both as a seat and for toy storage. Over the past 8 years it has become a bit tatty and worn. We have a lovely Eames inspired rocking chair in pale blue which she quite enjoy relaxing in. The room already had built in cupboards which is great for toy storage and to add all her papers and colouring in books. Then we let the kids pick their own rugs at Ikea which we have just spread out on the floor.
I had some buntings made by Fimbly which I am yet to add to the room, the other things still left to do is get some blinds fitted, buy some skirting, hang up a couple of photos and add a lamp in the roof.
Why not finish with what the room looked like before we started
