Last night my sister gave birth to a little baby girl, called Lily (named after our grandmother). She is the first baby in our family, (apart from Maud of course who is a dog and probably doesn’t really count) and needless to say we are all overjoyed. I started to think about decorating kids rooms and after a little bit of research found very little out there that appealed – most of the spaces felt somewhat how can I say, well twee. I think its important that kids rooms reflect the owners aesthetic especially when children are super young. Two women whom I greatly admire have done just that with their children’s rooms they are of course Jenna Lyons and Kelly Wearstler.
Below is the room belonging to Jenna’s son Beckett and whilst it follows the vibe of the rest of Jenna’s house it also feels wonderfully kiddy.The palette remains dark but is brightened with a fun striped ceiling, beautiful letters and lots of toys. If I had kids then this is how I want their bedroom to look!
The other image I wanted to show you is of a fabulous room for Kelly Wearstler’s two boys. It still very much feels like a Wearstler interior, glam, grown up, playful but it has an energy to it that feels young. Now I just need to remember to dress like this when reading to Lilly!
By the way we are looking for some interns to work with our marketing department particularly concentrating on our social media presence from mid May for about 6 to 8 weeks. Ideally London based (for a few days a week would be spent at HQ) although thats not essential. If you know of anyone please let me know.
You’ve made an interesting point, a children’s room doesn’t need to be twee. Both these designers really have done a good job and shown that. I have to admit though, I probably would be guilty of going twee for a childs room lol….
Brilliant! Childrens rooms should be full of wonder and intrigue. LOVE the dress.

Hi, I’m Cali Goffin- I’m actually graduating this May from University of Colorado at Boulder and have been on the hunt for an intern position in a marketing department of an inspiring and flourishing company. Ever since I was little I wanted to be an interior decorator, switched to museum/ gallery curator, then art teacher, until I realized that marketing and advertising would be great because I’ve always wanted to work in a setting where I could ‘be creative in a business environment.’
(On a lighter note I lovee your site- it’s by far my favorite design blog. I get so excited when there’s a new post…basically I’m completely addicted and would love to work for such a great company.)
If there is anything available please let me know I would be more than excited! Thanks so much
-Cali
Hi Call thanks for this have forwarded your details on to Graham who is going through everything.
Oooh, have just painted my son’s room the same colour blue as top picture and have recovered a little chair in dark grey velvet, stripey carpet, and just trying to source a bed…am going for a little gentleman’s club vibe (inspired by your previous posts). Hubby thinks it’s too dark but my son (aged 5) loves it. Seems much easier with a boy’s room though as my daughter loves the whole girlie theme.
