Working on numerous family homes over the years has led me to discover a common denominator with many kids/preteens. They hate doll houses and Mickey Mouse decals and LOVE bright colors and polka dots. This specific tween daughter of one of our clients wanted a bright and energetic room with a serious update in decor.
What are 5 things you would have changed in this room?
Take a look at the 5 things I changed for her room below:
5 Changes I Made…
- Painted the walls an energizing lime green and deep turquoise color
- Added an abstract piece of wall art above the bed with matching colors in the bedding with some fun polka dot pillows and throws
- Installed a mirrored Ikea wardrobe system with a build in window seat in between with added storage components
- Achieved a grown up look with sophisticated symmetry by adding in two night stands with matching lamps on either side of the bed
- Hung a fun round flower chandelier in the center of the room
The only thing different I would do is : I would have left the wall shelving and trim. I would have used the same paint color , but paint top turquoise and bottom the bright lime green.
This room certainly looks grown-up. The layout of the room is functional for hanging out with her friends. I really like the fact that as she grows up even more, all that needs to be done is simply paint the room another color, change some of the bedding & the window seat cushion. This is really smart! Thank you Rebecca.
Exactly! It can be so simple to update kids rooms if you break it down to just fixing those few things! Thank you for reading and for leaving a comment Debra! Means a lot! – RR
Ooooh! That sounds so fun! I definitely love the split wall color look! Thanks for commenting! – RR
It looks very pretty. I love the colors and interior of the room which is very nice.
