So excited to finally share the girls' shared room -- a space created with a lot of thought, love, and positive vibes!
When we moved to the suburbs after living in downtown Boston, one of the first projects I wanted to tackle was the girls’ bedroom. My vision for their room was to create a simple yet sophisticated space they could enjoy year after year.
I wanted my daughters to be surrounded by unique objects that inspire storytelling and creative thinking. While I hand-picked most pieces, I hired an interior designer to execute my vision and to help achieve a curated look.

My girls are between 4 and 6 years old, so it was important for the room to be fun and playful, while still being practical and not too childish. We opted for an eclectic vibe, allowing the room to be easily changed in the future by simply switching around the decor and art. Keeping the paint color very neutral, I mixed and matched old and new pieces with unique accessories and pops of color to liven up the space.
The Florencia Mirror from Anthropologie was a lucky find and adds depth and personality into the room. Coco Chanel and Anna Wintour Kokeshi Dolls by Lucie Kaas are such a unique addition to the room and inspire the girls’ imagination.
A kilim rug from Mohr & McPherson (a local home store in Boston), jute wool rug, Hillery Sproatt coral blanket, pom pom pillows, and a woven toy basket all add color and texture to the room. Most of these elements also add an ethnic vibe to an otherwise minimal and modern space. I especially love having a little touch of nature in the girls room - they love watching the plant grow and taking care of it.
Our storage needs were simple - a bookshelf for their growing collection of books, a sideboard for their puzzles and board games, a large toy bin for all of their soft toys, and a small dresser that doubles as a nightstand. I wanted to leave enough open space for pretend play, reading, and puzzles - all the things that the girls are into right now. They have both done a great job keeping the space organized with all of these creative storage solutions.
The articulating brass lamps add shine to this serene space and are perfect for bedtime stories. All of these elements make the room both beautiful and functional. We couldn’t be happier with how their bedroom turned out. Playful, eclectic, yet easily changeable over time.
Once upon a time I went to the local home store in Boston. I think that if anybody purchase a kilim rug from Mohr & McPherson, she/he will get the best design of kilim rug. Besides, the jute wool rug, Hillery Sproatt coral blanket and pom pom pillows are available here and these are much modern to look at.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a little girl's room. I can see how she has decorated it with her favorite cartoon characters. She has a good taste.
