Tween Bedroom Soft Peach & Sleek
Contemporary Kids, New York
My oldest daughter, Grace, is a "tween" and asked for her room to be redecorated. Previously it was bright colors of teal, pink and purple walls (which she picked when she was 4....now she is 12). I agreed that it needed a fresh start. Grace wanted her room to be less cluttered and more grown-up. First, she sorted, threw out and donated. Extra items that remained went in new under-the-bed storage containers. Second, I decided to work from her furniture colors. The pieces were purchased in the Netherlands during our time living in Germany. Gradations of "blush" were used throughout the room and in various textures. Next, Grace and I collaborated on selecting draperies, a rug and bedding. A complentary neutral paint color was then chosen. Finishing touches were placed in specific places to provide balance, such as the canvas artwork, which also adds a touch of shimmer. Glass lamps add harmony to the design. Grace is thrilled with her new room! (And with some smart shopping, cost-effecient!)
