My almost-nine-year-old daughter has been bugging me to renovate her bedroom. It’s due for an overhaul (even I’ve grown exhausted of it) so I’ve been pulling together some ideas to show her. I don’t want it to feel too grown-up, but (to keep her happy) not too sweet either — a room that will hopefully make it into the teenage years. Let’s see if I get her stamp of approval!
I’ve always wanted to use John Robshaw’s Shali Lotus linen. I think it would be great for the roman blind and shams for her twin beds.
I’d also like to do easy upholstered headboards in John Robshaw’s Aleppo Lotus linen.
Vancouver’s Orling & Wu had a booth at the interior design show in Toronto last month. I love the Sandberg wallpapers they carry. This pattern, called Mia, is ideal in the dark grey. The polka dots are fun and light, but the colour keeps them from feeling too juvenile.
In between the two twin beds I want this double sheepskin rug from DwellStudio. how beautiful to step out of bed onto this!
I love this carved wood stool from West Elm. It’s good and sturdy, and could sit between the two beds.
Perhaps topped with the Atelier task table lamp from Restoration Hardware?
That’s where I’m at best now. I still have to identify bedding, but will likely choose simple, white cotton duvet covers. I don’t want things to get too busy. I hope I get her official stamp of approval — wish me luck!
