a grey and yellow bedroom for tobias

grey and yellow boys bedroomToday I’m really excited to share a boy’s bedroom I designed a little while ago. This bright and happy space is Tobias’ room.

To ensure the room would grow with Tobias, we kept the base neutral – a soft grey carpet, vintage grey blinds and light grey walls that sit easy with the rest of the house too. To add warmth to this cool palette, we used warm ochre yellow accents and timber.

Starry wallpaper offsets the house cupboards, and there are clouds, stars, a moon and raindrops to be found in the rest of the room – see if you can spot them all.

Most exciting for Tobias was of course the new bunk bed, which is the centre piece of the room. We dressed it with ochre and grey bedding and some nice cushions, as well as a string of cotton ball lights. Next to the bed is a bean bag for night time reading, plus a shelf and night stand for little treasures.

Finally, a small desk and chair with book ledges above finish the room – showcasing some of Tobias’ favourite books and trinkets.
