The room was incredibly large with high ceilings, so we decided to break it down into zones. We used room dividers to break the space in half – one side for sleeping and relaxing and the other as a play area. The room dividers also provided lots of much needed storage for toys etc. We used rugs to help separate the zones further and add some fun to the room.
The most important thing is to design a scheme that will grow with the child. Ensuring furniture and the more expensive items will continue to work as they get older. It is easy to fall into the trap of buying small items or designs which are very child like – opting for neutral ‘grown up’ pieces will stand the test of time. We added lots of wall stickers, novelty Lego shelves and decorative lights which can easily be changed as the child grows up.
