Project Scenario: This teenage boys’ bedroom needed more than a fresh coat of paint. The client required additional functional storage and display areas to showcase his ceramic work. They wanted to achieve a tranquil atmosphere for maximum studying efficiency. Budget was also to be taken into account. The result exceeded the client’s expectations.
Design Concept: The beech cabinetry in medium wood tones combined with ‘alfresco’ blue colored walls and accented with the chartreuse pillows provided a rich, colorful and textural contrast. We also utilized the clients’ existing rattan desk, chair and antique nightstand. These pieces provided the tropical island foundation and became inspiration for the raffia roman shades, bamboo closet curtains & Tiki light plate.
Finish Details: The dark wall color frames the window nicely, which accentuates the view and green foliage outside. The homes trim is minimal so it was painted the same color as the walls but in a gloss finish to also help achieve the rooms
calming environment. Nature’s vibrant green color was brought into the room with the addition of the accent pillows.
