Tahnee Pownall of @homeofthewildlings recently poster her son’s room with these gorgeous teals and browns and we were smitten!

So we wanted to learn a little more about her process and get her tips and tricks on creating a room that’s beautiful and functional.

{Q} Are you a professional interior designer?

{A} No, I’m not an interior designer. I have never taken an interior or photography course and I am all self-taught. I just find it comes very naturally to me as it’s a big passion of mine.

{Q} What was your inspiration for your son’s room?

{A} I wanted to stray away from the typical boy’s room designs and loved the idea of setting up a boyish version of an enchanted forest.

{Q} Is the room based on any particular trend in children’s design?

{A} I think the room incorporates a lot of trends at the moment but that’s not the reason they are there, everything in Parkers room has been chosen to meet a theme and fit in with our style.

{Q} Where do you like to shop for children’s home goods?

{A} I shop for 95% of parkers things from small businesses and off of Instagram. It really is the most incredible place with such talented handmaidens.

{Q} Did you do a lot of pinning on Pinterest for this project?

{A} I actually don’t use Pinterest at all, i have the app but I just never use it.

{Q} Does your son have a particular area or item that he loves the most?

{A} He loves his house bed of course not being in a cot anymore and I think he enjoys the house bed idea and not just sleeping in a traditional bed.

{Q} What piece are you most proud of?

{A} I absolutely adore his birch wallpaper as I think it ties the whole theme and room together to give it that forest woodland theme and feel.

{Q} Did you have a deadline to complete the room by or did you work on it little by little over time?

{A}  I have just worked on it little by little and added pieces as we both grow and our taste changes. Just recently have I changed his bed around and added in the teal accents and I absolutely adore it, but I’m sure i will change it all again soon to add another accent colour.

{Q} Did you DIY anything? If so, what was your favorite project?

{A} We did do some DIY – I found the house bed unpainted and not put together on my local marketplace on Facebook – we put it together and my dad painted it for me. Altogether it would have been under $30 to complete!

{Q} Do you think other moms could create a room as amazing, without the help of an interior decorator? What should other moms consider or plan for when taking on a project like this?

{A} I think most definitely other mums can create a incredible room for their children without an interior stylist. I think people should stick to a theme or design they love and work on that from there – a great idea is to set up a mood board or pick one hero piece for the room or a certain colour and then work off of that.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
