Design of a girl’s room – Space for both childhood and adolescence

This room has been designed with the changing needs of the child in mind.

The house-shaped bed made of solid wood creates a cosy background and can be replaced with a larger one over time. You can see this gradual development in the visualisations – first a house-shaped bed and later a 140 cm wide bed for a teenage child. The built-in furniture in a combination of white and woodgrain offers plenty of storage space for all the child’s necessities.

Opposite the bed is a space for learning and creating – currently with a smaller desk and kitchenette, but ready to be replaced with a larger desk at a later date. In the visualizations I show both variants. A whiteboard for drawing and ample space for play encourage children’s natural creativity. In the future it will be possible to hang a TV on the tiling, although I am personally not an advocate of TVs in children’s rooms, but I often receive such a request when I design.

One of my favourite solutions – window seating – has been implemented in this project as well. Although the window is placed a bit higher, it did not pose any obstacle. I created additional taller storage spaces under the seating, making efficient use of every inch of the room.

Although the owners have external blinds, I decided to use a fabric roller blind on the window to “dress” the window, which always adds a nice cosy feel to the room. This soft fabric element softens the overall impression and creates a warming atmosphere.

Dimmable LED lighting adapts to the child’s current needs, while open shelves with backlighting add depth and a welcoming atmosphere to the space. The room is designed to remain airy, functional and ready for the new life stages of its little occupant.
