When my client asked me to decorate a room just for her daughters and their friends, I did a backflip on the inside! Usually, when decorating homes for clients, my goal is to keep both man and wife happy with the design by ensuring an overall look that is neither too feminine nor too masculine. With this space, though, I had the freedom to go as girly as I wanted. I even asked my client’s daughters before I started putting ideas together if there was any such thing as too much pink, and they both laughed and said no; they really love pink. Weeh!
To begin, my client had purchased a large, squishy sofa and matching ottoman that filled the majority of the space. Understandable! How else do you host the best slumber parties on the block? The carpet also needed to stay, as it was brand new, soft, and fluffy, and there was no need to add in the cost of a harder floor surface for the sake of a cute rug. We could add cuteness in other ways :)
I’ll get to the juicy stuff in a moment, but first, I’d love to share a couple photos I took before beginning this project. I should also tell you that none of these items were sponsored, and that while this post does contain links to products, none of them are associated with a commission. I just truly love this look and want to share with you how you can achieve it.
Before:
Now, I’ll show you the concept/style-board I created for this space! Note: Typically, when an interior decorator creates a style board, the main purpose is to show how all the decor, textures, and colors will look together. It does not intend to express an exact layout.
Style Board:
Ah, you might have noticed the numbered items! These corresponded with links in a separate purchasing guide the client received. For the purpose of this post, though, I’ll share the items pictured in each of the “after” photos below!
