My children wanted to update their bedrooms, and after about 4
years since moving in I agreed (plus I LOVE interior design, so I didn’t need
convincing!) Not only did they want new rooms, but they wanted to switch
bedrooms!
My son, Lorenzo, had the smaller room (roughly 7 x 11 ) with a large window, double sliding
door closet, and the entry door all on different walls. Being that the
room is so small, and has little wall space for furniture to work with; I put a
twin loft bed in there in order to accommodate room for the rest of his storage
and make the room feel more spacious. Under the loft bed I was able to have a desk, chair, and 2 Ikea Malm chests (3 drawer and 2 drawer). Along the wall with the
window I placed 3 Ikea Lack shelveing units (2 horizontally and 1 vertically), and on
the wall across the bed I placed 3 storage ottomans which added additional seating. My
son enjoyed his room for years but he was ready for a change!
My daughter, Sabrina, had
the larger room (roughly 9 ½ x 10). She had a Disney Princess themed room
with a castle bed and all. She had a wardrobe, large dresser, Castle loft bed with slide,
and a whole bunch of toys.I removed the sliding doors and stored the wardrobe in the
closet, and arranged the rest of the furniture to best accommodate her toys and
other play furniture. She loved the room for years, but had now out grown it.
She wanted to get rid of the Princess stuff and have a “Big girl” room.
I sat down with them both and asked what they wanted in their new
rooms:
Lorenzo: A Larger bed, a nice desk area, a Flat screen TV with a
Roku player, Gray walls, and Blue and Green accent colors.I created these Vision Boards with him:
Sabby: A Daybed, a Flat screen TV with a Roku player, a desk,Paisley prints, Turquoise walls and bright colord accents. I created these Vision Boards with her:
