I’d keep the character stuff to accessories, bedlinen for example and maybe a cushion cover and posters. She may well have moved on to something else within a few months. Pale pink plus other pastels like pale yellow, pale grey, pale green could form a nice base for the room. and the accessories change as she grows.

Hi. What type of thing does your daughter want? If she wants something less girly, why not try something like this from miaohuifac? Add a brick wallpaper and walls and furniture in grey, black and white etc. If she wants something girlie in the room add bedding, cushions, great lights and an upholstered bedroom chair. . I can't take a pic as I'm sure the room will be a mess but my sons room has 3 brick walls with a huge banksy mural (not made to measure) with a grey sofa, desk with tolix chair and london street signs and tube cushions etc his is teamed with tartan style curtains and bedding to warm it up. all done very cheaply!

I know what you mean and yes it would be great to get the stair case in and I will defiantly do it at some point but it is a pretty big job and I dont want to be disturbing everyone my daughter starts school in September my partner works full time and I'm pregnant so having renovations done now seams a lot and we've only been back to normal after the upheaval of living in temporary accommodation for 4 month after the floods while my house was getting done. Realistically we should of done the stair case then but it added a bit of extra time into being able to come home and after 4 month we were ready for home and our lease was up on the temporary house so we were working to a deadline. There is a stair gate at the bottom of the ladder as it sits on 2 steps so safely wise it's not a problem and I do have toys hidden away in different areas of the house so if they want to play in an other room they can. Logistically I can't see a reason why it won't work but decor wise it's a challenge.

You've one a lovely job and losing the canopy to highlight the feature wall was a good move. I wouldn't add too much now but perhaps you could highlight the angle on the wall with a bit of decoration (see below - but not suggesting plants, perhaps three small framed photos? Or pictures she likes? White frames would be nice). Maybe another cushion, geometric with some grey in to tie in with the wall. And a rug (sheepskin? Faux fur?) For texture and something cosy as she gets out of bed

A toddler table is a bad idea. They 'grow' with kids until about the age yours are. Time flies, your 6 & 7 year olds will not be using that for anything in the near future. What will the room most likely be in another 5-7 years, after the toy stage? A study & homework space, lounge for them, or do you plan on moving by then? You could look for a smallish dining table, something like 900mm x 1500mm or so. This should allow enough space for them each on opposite ends, and a good amount of space in the room around it. This would probably be best along the length of the room, up against the wall, with seating on the ends, and length if needed. Alternatively, you can get a square/ish table if you prefer. It would probably work equally well. Some shelving above this table will look good and use space well. You can get a machine washable rug beneath the table as well. Don't think of it as losing space, with the right size, layout, etc, you're using the space, not losing it. Also, avoid tables facing the occupant to the wall. The wall next to the door is an excellent spot for a storage unit, with again, space for shelves above, or a display of toys, a makeup area if they're into that, whatever. The zoning stuff.. that deals with grouping your similar activities together into the same space. It keeps things organised, gives design easy flow. So for instance, when you get ready, you have a single space for your needs of styling your hair, doing your makeup, and chosing your accessories. When you cook, you have a single space where the preparaton happens, you may cook there today, and bake there tomorrow, but that stretch of counter is a prep area. On a larger scale, your bedrooms are clustered together, as that's the private zones, the lounge and dining are near by, as that's the living and entertaining zone, the laundry & utility needs are also near each other, creating another zone of similar functions. The same with your kids' space. The table will serve any functions that need a table. Building puzzles, doing art, doing homework in a few years, the like. Zones are defined by physical objects. Eg a table on a rug clearly defines that and distinguishes it from the rest. Like the hallway to bedrooms for instance You can add in another area rug, warms up the space, creates another zone, Here, you can add some poufs, pillows, matrasses if you like. Get a lot of storage units along the walls here for all the toys, and some shelving for books. And in a corner, have the teepee. Now this zone is a comfortable space. It's good for playing with toys on the floor, napping, reading/being read to, watching tv, pretty much whatever. If you do get the kitchen (how big is that, I have no clue hmm) it can also go in this space. So effectively, you have the need for: storage, a table play area, an 'other' play and reading area. And so storage can go along the walls, the table area can fulfil the need of table activities, and the remaining space is one large multipurpose play area. You have a decent, though not large space. Having a few well defined areas makes it seem efficient and organised, as opposed to too many defined spaces, which breaks up the room too much, complicating it for use and making it seem smaller, or no spaces at all, which just looks disorganised at all times.
