When Liz reached out about her son Kenny's bedroom, I was so excited! There's something so fun about creating a kids room. I think it's knowing how much imagining and creating will take place in the space.
Kenny is two and a half, and with a baby on the way, his parents needed to give him his own space. His room was on the smaller side, so storage had to be maximized and he also had to have room to play.
Kenny's new space plan is below, and you can find his Urban Perch designed Pinterest board
here.
The solution was to create two areas. One for sleeping, and one for playing. The play area would have creative storage solutions and I also wanted to hide the play area from the main entry so that if it was a little messy, it wasn't the first thing you saw.
A few project details:
Avoid: Anything too cheesy
Likes: Gray, White and Navy
Style: Traditional Modern
Space Issues: Lack of space, need storage
Existing furniture: None, but the client liked Restoration Hardware's Haven Bed and Dresser
Kenny is a baseball fan, and Liz (his Mom) wanted that to tie into the theme without being too cheesy. She wanted his room to look like it was out of a catalog (lucky boy!).
The furniture pieces by Restoration Hardware are gorgeous, but I wanted to tie in baseball elements without being over the top. I also wanted to mix and match textures and colors and make it visually appealing. I'm thinking this is a room he can grow into.
I'm really loving this room, but some of my favorite pieces have to be the
hopscotch rug by CB2 and the
baseball pillow available on Etsy. Also a fan of the
large vintage baseball poster to be used on the far wall a graphic art piece. Baseball without cheese.
