room for kids : poppies and linen

Nicole from Little Liberty created this striking space for a wee preschooler.


vibe
Little Red Riding Hood inspired: red, white, forest linen and naturals.

who lives here?
A feisty 3 year-old girl named Alexandra.

décor
Red and white is such a fantastic combination for a little girl's room. It really makes a nice change from all the different shades of pinks that girls usually want. It's bold, strong and fresh and also gives the room a little bit of old world charm. I especially love the combination of reds against a linen fabric - very complimentary! The bed linen and the paper flowers that I stuck above the bed make a real statement.

furniture
This was actually a very small room to work with so I didn't clutter it up with lots of furniture. I basically worked with the existing bed and put a small vanity and stool set in so Alexandra still has a little bit of floorspace to play with friends.

best buy
The custom paper flowers filled the entire wall above her bed and created a beautiful focal point in the room for $100AUD.

nicole's fave
I love the vanity set and matching stool which I covered with linen fabric and then finished off with red ball trim. Super sweet!

top tip
I think the colours in this room really reflect Alexandra's personality. She's quite feisty and strong so I don't think a soft pink room really would have suited her at all. So when thinking about colours and themes keep your child's personality in mind.
