A little girl’s cottage-style bedroom

She had one initial request: make it pink!

We paired the lovely pink walls with sunny yellow and white checkered curtains. A heirloom quilt inspired the rest of the color palette and included muted shades of blues and greens. A buttery yellow soft cotton rug completes the look.

Design Notes

  • Functional needs

    -Space to sleep, as well as to draw, color, play on the floor and read

    -Lots of space for books

    -Ability of room to also function as a guest room on occasion, with full sized bed and nightstands

  • Challenges

    -Best place for bed was up against window, which is not always ideal as light can be blocked

    -Room to fit full sized bed so room could double as guest bedroom

    -Creating a “pink” room that didn’t feel overly juvenile

  • Solutions

    - Selected a full sized bed frame with a beautiful open design headboard that allows light to flow through (a Facebook marketplace find!)

    -Incorporated lots of yellows, greens and blues to balance the pink walls.

  • Favorite Design Elements

    -Heirloom “friendship quilt” that originally belonged to her great grandmother. The quilt was used as inspiration for the room’s color palette

    -Vintage lamp, paired with a DIY lampshade cover

    -Lots of colorful artwork, including thrifted vintage art finds
