Design Crush :: Purple Girls Room

How cute is this big girl’s bedroom for 8 year old Gigi, the daughter of Pam Ginocchio (co-founder of Project Nursery) I first spotted on Pinterest? Pam teamed up with Serena & Lily on the room’s fresh, fun and feminine design. Gigi herself requested the crisp purple palette – so sweet.

The glossy white mosaic mirror looks great hung above a sleek dresser and contrasts nicely with the wall’s Shale paint color.

A white Parsons desk is paired with a fun apple green bentwood chair – love the mix of styles here!

On the ceiling a bold wide stripe wallpaper in plum from Serena & Lily’s new wallpaper collection was selected. It’s a fabulous, dramatic choice for room which features 14 foot ceilings.

Love, love, love the 60’s inspired rattan hanging chair with plum herringbone throw! Such a fun spot for Gigi to relax, read and daydream.

Serena & Lily’s timeless Pondicherry upholstered bed with nailhead was selected for the bed and is topped with the Kite Sheet Set and the Berry Border Duvet and Shams. A curvy bedside table is topped with a whimsical bird lamp, while a woven white basket placed on the bottom shelf is perfect for organizing Gigi’s small collections. The plush white rug is super chic and adds a wonderful texture to the space.

It’s a fabulous purple girls room I’m sure Gigi is going to love for years to come!

You may know if you’ve been following Simplified Bee on Instagram that I’ve been working on several kids’ playrooms recently. All needed to be functional and organized, yet fun, creative and imaginative.

Designing a playroom isn’t that much different than other spaces, however there are a few key items that make up a great room for kids to play…

storage bins // play table // rug // play kitchen // tee pee
