KIDS ’ ROOMS
MASTER BEDROOM
The bedroom should be a calm sanctuary - a place to relax in privacy . Having their own private space in a home where two boisterous young boys were growing up was very important for the parents . We eliminated bright colors and contrasts in this room , focusing on nuances in colors and textures .
The bathroom connected to the master bedroom has an interesting layout : it is located between the bedroom and the dressing room . This location was not a design choice but it was dictated by the need for access to the plumbing infrastructure . In the end , however , it turned out to be an ergonomically clever solution .
We have a very special connection to the children in this family . Both boys , 6 and 8 years of age , are being brought up with great respect for the past and a view to the future at the same time . There are two private bedrooms and a playroom as well as a children ’ s ’ bathroom . We designed each room individually after the parents assured us that the two brothers inherited completely different temperaments and characters .
Every Sunday the family comes together to watch old-style film-strips . In today ’ s day and age this is an unusual hobby but the boys cherish this time with their parents . We installed special soft mats where they can all flop together and enjoy some good old Hollywood glamour .
