Why we love it
This room is fit for the petite princess, six-year-old Angela, who occupies it, but doesn’t come across as too childlike. A soft colour palette of pale blue and rosy pink pops against the surrounding warm white, lending the space a young, fresh aesthetic. The armoire’s patina is a sweet vintage touch and makes the perfect display spot for cherished furry friends.

Why it works
The timeless furniture lets this room act as a transitional space. The cheery floral wallpaper and the playful polkadot blind give the bedroom youthful appeal, while the cream-coloured bed, slipcovered armchair and painted armoire are practical pieces that will age with the little girl who lives here and accommodate her growing needs.
