Softly softly
Pastel shades are a great way of striking a balance between playful and calming in a child’s room, brightening a space without being garish. Pastel palettes built around shades of gray or other neutral hues are a good way of creating a more ‘grown up’ space for older children and teenagers.
Blast from the past
Try combining traditional items with handmade pieces for a classic, vintage feel—such as a cast iron bedstead, wooden bookshelves and handmade toys. Using timeless pieces that don’t date will help create a room that children can ‘grow into’ as they get older.
Make a statement
Themed rooms can often be costly as children’s interests can change so quickly. Using themed wallpaper in a feature wall is a much easier way to cater for a child’s latest passion, and can be updated easily.

Painted modular furniture can be a great investment for a child’s room—as colours can be updated and arrangements reconfigured, meaning you can easily change the space.
