While designing for my son, I made sure to choose
elements in keeping with my home’s overall
aesthetic. This way, as he grows, we can change
out items here and there and easily incorporate
them anywhere else in the house.
Before starting the bedroom design, I didn’t have a certain
theme in mind -- until I came across Livettes KIDS’ gorgeous
constellation wallpaper. The black and white pattern set the
tone for my son’s room as a modern, yet playful space. In less
than two hours, I had the easy-to-place, removable wallpaper
installed. The best part is, when I decide to change up the style,
I can remove it without any damage to the wall!
I always like to start my designs with a neutral color palette,
and then add color as the design develops. After settling on
the starry wallpaper, I painted an accent wall in a deep blue,
which accentuated the natural wood and other, softer, colors.
I wanted to add lighting that was functional and accessible, so
my son could easily turn it on and off. Golden sconces from
World Market added just the right amount of contemporary
blended with practical.

After finding a coordinating blue dresser at IKEA, I gave it a
more modern, polished look by spray-painting the hardware
in a bright metallic gold. And I incorporated texture with a DIY
headboard, which I made by staining and stapling wooden
fencing panels from the hardware store.
