I’m so excited to share new photos of a girl’s bedroom design that I recently completed. It’s a room close to my heart: Freya’s mum loved my style and fully trusted me to create something beautiful for her daughter, yet it’s also the result of a close collaboration.

We made contact just before the family moved country. Freya’s parents’ priority was to settle their daughters in their new life abroad as quickly as possible, starting with their bedrooms. Transitioning from a converted cotbed in a small bedroom to a much larger room with a “big girl bed”, the brief for Freya was to create a warm and welcoming bedroom, where she could retreat and feel inspired.

From the beds I proposed, Freya was super excited about a house frame bed, which is great for larger rooms. It creates a room within a room, feeling snug when transitioning from a toddler bed. We backed this with a beautiful floral wallpaper to emphasise the room-within-a-room effect. There were several colourways, from which Freya chose a soft lilac, grape and green design. This formed the base for the room’s new colour scheme.

Next on the list was a generous desk, where Freya could explore her creativity and interests. I designed a child sized desk from rustic scaffolding boards, including a pin board and storage, backed by a dusty purple background. Above the desk we created a mini gallery with existing prints and new.

I love vintage furniture to soften a room and add character, so on the other side of the room, a wide, multitasking vintage wardrobe holds Freya’s clothes and books. Next to it, a clothing rail with a storage drawer creates a dress-up area. In the large bay window, we found room for an heirloom dollshouse.

The result is a beautiful, light and restful room for Freya to make her own.
