Today I’m really excited to share a boy’s bedroom I designed a little while ago. This bright and happy space is Tobias’ room.
Tobias had outgrown his cotbed and was ready to transition to a big boy room, so his parents called on me to create a fun and stylish room for him. To ensure the room would grow with Tobias, we kept the base neutral – a soft grey carpet, vintage grey blinds and light grey walls that sit easy with the rest of the house too. To add warmth to this cool palette, we used warm ochre yellow accents and timber.
We introduced a light touch sky theme to complement Tobias’ love of all things Star Wars. Starry wallpaper offsets the house cupboards, and there are clouds, stars, a moon and raindrops to be found in the rest of the room – see if you can spot them all.
Most exciting for Tobias was of course the new bunk bed, which is the centre piece of the room. We dressed it with ochre and grey bedding and some nice cushions, as well as a string of cotton ball lights. Next to the bed is a bean bag for night time reading, plus a shelf and night stand for little treasures.
Finally, a small desk and chair with book ledges above finish the room – showcasing some of Tobias’ favourite books and trinkets.

I recently came across this beautiful image of a kid’s room with cloud wallpaper – loving the subtle colours, styling and of course the whimsical cloud wallpaper design. It’s by Allison & Allison, who offer a bespoke wallpaper design service.
Using pen and ink, Annie Allison starts by hand drawing ideas based on your brief – you may already have an image of the design in mind that you’d like to have committed to wallpaper, or like the idea of a design being created especially for you. Sizes and colours can be tweaked as desired before a sample of the final design is created. For more information visit her website.
