My 8 year old daughter's bedroom

6 years ago

I am doing up my 8 year old daughter's bedroom, she has totally gone off the princess/pink theme and wants grey tones instead - her taste would be older than a typical 8 year old. She has a large room approx 14' x 14'. On one of these walls she has built in wardrobes, ivory colour (which will be staying). I am lifting her carpet and putting walnut colour laminate flooring (her choice), i have got her a white double bed from Ikea as well as 2 white lockers. So it is well on it's way but I am stuck as to what colour to put with the grey. I haven't yet chosen a grey colour which she wants on her back wall (The headboard of the bed will be on this wall and bed coming into the middle of the room) so any grey colour recommendations I would appreciate. Also can you recommend any other colour to paint the other 3 walls (one of which has a large window on it) other than white which is what i've been thinking but think it may look too cold. Also i am open to painting the ceiling in a different colour other than white but looking for advice. She has fuschia pink curtains at the moment which I think I will have to change but haven't decided on this either or may change to Roman blinds. Grey and blush pink accessories is what I am thinking but finding it hard to source Blush pink curtains so should I bring another colour in to the room to compliment these colour. I would love your feedback, thank you in advance.

I've been thinking of you,Fragle - I remember those sleepless nights when the babies first came home and everyone was sleep deprived but life-as -always still had to go on, esp for Mommy. So happy for you that you have a 'good' baby, I love the name too:-)

Hi. It's difficult to say without seeing it other than paint and new handles. If you don't want to spend hours prepping the furniture try annie Sloan chalk paint (there are numerous tutorials online depending on what finish you want). Alternatively you could probably use one of the zinsser primers ( I forget which which one is best!) and then just use normal paint over the top. You could also look for wooden mouldings which you can glue on if you want something different or maybe drape fairy lights or bunting over the top

My 16 year old daughters bedroom urgently needs a makeover, but it's an awkward shape. She is arty, so hoards everything. She loves to read, needs space for 2nd bed (pullout or fold up) and a study desk. Style wise, she loves the loft look, but I'm really struggling with a layout. I would appreciate any ideas. Here is a drawing of her room plan. It's quite small..Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thank you
