This super sweet bedroom belongs to Lise who is four years old. She lives with her parents Bas and Wendy and her little sister Mette on a houseboat in Zaandam, the Netherlands. The boat used to be a commercial barge and was converted by Bas & Wendy into a light and spacious living space. You can take a peek aboard their amazing home here.
Lise’s mum is a spatial designer, and her dad is the founder and owner of Waterloft.nl, a company that is involved in projects near or on the water. Their best advice for creating an amazing space for your child: keep children’s scale in mind when designing the room. Create small nooks that make your child feel comfortable and secure – cabin beds or beds built into walls are a great example of this.

My kids would love to have that mounted bed. Such a stylish an airy room – lucky Lise. Happy weekend Ursula. x
And my heart melts again 🙂 Super awesome room for a sweet little girl. The beds are so amazing. And on a house boat … it’s all just too cool!
Thanks Ursula!

It’s such a beautiful room. What a fun idea to interview Lise and she gave such cute answers.
As a child I was TOTALLY obsessed by the idea of living in a houseboat, but I wouldn’t in my wildest dream have been able to dream up one quite as cool as this!
