DESIGN DETAILS: In this room, the layout was the the biggest challenge. It’s a relatively small bedroom and every wall has a door or window. In order to maximize the floor space and allow for multiple functions within the room, we specified a day bed. Without a large headboard, we were able to tuck it into a corner of the room and free up plenty of room for a bookshelf and reading nook. For the color palette, we went with turquoise and white (sherpa, faux fur). We added gray and expanded “turquoise” to all related shades from aqua to teal, and these colors organically created an ocean vibe. We also added woven and natural wood details - the globe chandelier, the rattan wrapped mirror and some decor on the bookshelf - to play into the beachy feel.
Art is a great opportunity to bring personality to any space and teenagers have quite a bit of personality…right? And remember that art doesn’t just have to go on the wall, but instead, smaller framed pieces can sit on a dresser or in a small frame on a nightstand or bookshelf.
