When I was asked to style 7-year-old Madden’s bedroom, I was so excited to create a space

that reflected this fun, loving, energetic and adventurous little boy.

I started by re-arranging the existing furniture to give this small bedroom balance. Next, I knew I

wanted the room to have mostly earth tones but with a pop of color to keep it light and bright. In

this case, the accent color was a bright yellow. The bedding was layered in dark blues and

grays to give the room a masculine feel.

During one of our shopping trips, my client and I found this awesome old trunk at our local

Goodwill store. We placed it at the foot of the bed and it doubles as extra storage and a solid

surface for play. We added many playful accessories (airplanes, arrows, plants) to appeal to

Madden’s adventurous side. Lastly, a soft rug and a blue textured pouf were added to soften all

the rustic wood elements. I love the way it turned out and I had so much fun styling this room for

such a cool kid.
