THE ROOM STUDY · ROOMS

Room to grow.

Children need rooms for more than sleep. These studies make space for stories, shared territory, schoolwork and the collections that grow along with them. Explore different homes and ages, with lasting furniture and ideas that leave room for personality.

Sky-blue children’s bedroom with a timber bookcase-headboard single bed, yellow-striped bedding, matching desk, black spindle chairs and bright sea-turtle artwork.

ROOM 06 · Children's Room

The room that grows up with them

A full-size timber bed and a useful desk give this children’s room staying power. Blue walls, yellow stripes and colourful sea-turtle art supply the part that can keep changing.

Calm toddler nursery in a modern home, with a grey low bed against a sage wall, mango-wood drawers, a textured cream reading chair and a soft rug on pale oak flooring.

ROOM 20 · Children's Room

Somewhere for the grown-up, too

An adult can spend a long time in a toddler's room. A comfortable chair beside the window acknowledges that, while the low bed and clear rug leave plenty of room for the smaller occupant. Sage paint gives an ordinary new-build room a little distinction.

Explore the room

Shared children’s bedroom in a suburban home, with two beige upholstered single beds, blue walls, timber drawers, an ash wall ladder with coloured book pockets and a woven rug.

ROOM 21 · Children's Room

The shared room with breathing space

Sharing a bedroom is easier when reaching your clothes doesn't involve somebody else's bed. Two upholstered singles leave the middle clear, with shared drawers and books accessible to both. Bedding and drawings can make each side personal once those routes work.

Explore the room

Larger children’s bedroom with a timber desk and tan leather cantilever chair beside a broad window, brass task lamp, walnut bed, a patterned quilt and books on tall open shelving.

ROOM 22 · Children's Room

The room that makes homework easier

Homework has a better chance when there is somewhere to open the book. In this larger North American bedroom, the desk has a separate position and space to pull out its chair. The double bed remains a place to retreat when the work is finished.

Explore the room

Compact child’s bedroom with a white slatted storage bed against a cobalt wall, a tall cane-fronted chest, peach fabric wall pockets, a rust throw and a small woven rug on painted timber flooring.

ROOM 23 · Children's Room

The small room with big ideas

A storage bed only saves space if you can open its drawers. This small Dutch bedroom keeps the middle clear for that daily inconvenience, with a narrow chest and wall-hung book pockets doing the rest. Cobalt gives the sleeping wall a definite place in the room.

Explore the room

Apple-green walls, raspberry storage and a yellow rug divide this attic into places to draw, play and settle down. The open middle leaves room for the activity to change.

ROOM 54 · Children's Room

The apple-green attic playroom

The drawing desk takes the tall wall; the low seat fits beneath the slope. That leaves the attic's middle free for a game that needs more floor than expected.

Explore the room

Chartreuse teenage bedroom with a pine single bed, two violet velvet chairs by a broad window, oak desk and drawer chest, and two graphic artworks.

ROOM 67 · Children's Room

The teenage room that makes space for friends

Chartreuse walls and violet chairs give this teenage room a more grown-up kind of energy. A pine bed, an oak desk and a separate place for friends allow sleep, schoolwork and company to share the space without becoming the same activity.

Explore the room

A shared children’s bedroom with rust and blush walls, two white bookcase single beds, green stripes and rust checks, small rattan wall lights and a shared white chest.

ROOM 84 · Children's Room

Two siblings, two colours, one clear floor

Sharing a bedroom need not mean agreeing on every colour. Two shelf-head beds give each child a small territory, while one common chest keeps the floor in front of them worth sharing.

Explore the room

A chartreuse teenage bedroom with an anthracite storage bed, red bedding, lilac curtains, peach fabric display shelves, a grey writing desk and music-themed artwork.

ROOM 93 · Children's Room

Make room for the teenage collector

The answer to a teenager’s growing collection is rarely another empty shelf. This room separates the things worth looking at today from the things worth keeping, using chartreuse, lilac and a bed that earns its floor space.
