Good design is for all ages
Creating a beautifully designed, happy home is for the entire family and that means a child’s bedroom can be just as tasteful and elegant as anywhere else in the house. But, that’s not to say it shouldn’t also be a playful, joyous space – very much dedicated to childhood. The key here is to make design decisions that feel timeless, or even ageless. There’s delight to be found in decorative touches, such as uplifting stripes on cushions, a placement of sweet florals and bedding trimmed with ruffles or contrast colours. Where young people are often most discerning is tactility: softness is king here. The stroke-ability of bed linen is paramount, how deliciously squishy duvets, throws, cushions and pillows are. Favourite pyjamas are often those that feel most velvety against a child’s skin. And, remember that bedding is for more than sleeping – it’s for playing, reading, and plenty of snuggling, as well.
