One of my favourite projects has been the makeover of this apartment in Benalmadena. I will start showing it to you with a sneak peek of the kids’ room. The owner couple wanted to make one of the three bedrooms a place where their two grandchildren - a little girl & boy - would love to sleep while visiting them.
Actually the room was already made but something was missing in the atmosphere. It was ok, but not really inviting. As the space was limited and the main pieces of furniture were the two beds, I obviously concentrated on making the bedd ss inviting as possible for the kid. So that they would want to jump on beds without being worried if the bedspreads get wrinkled.
As always I started with a moodboard. The wish of the owners was to have pastel tones, so I picked up soft tones of blue & pink.
Things to Keep in Mind While Decorating for Kids
Keep it simple
Play with colours
Make it kid-friendly
Create a space that is stylish, comfortable & fun
I wanted to create a place for the children where they could have a little rest also during the day time. After a playful beach day it would be nice to curl up with a book or game and have a little nap.
Kids grow fast! So the decor might need some adjusting in the near future. Keeping the walls and furniture in neutral tones and adding colours in textiles such as in cushions and blankets, makes the room growing with time and stays relevant for years to come. You just change the cushion covers and blankets according to kids’ wishes.
I think it looks charming, happy and welcoming - what do you think?
