Get inspired with Lulu's bedroom makeover
<
Meet Lulu. She's 13, and her bedroom at her dad's new house used to be a bit... meh. Lulu knew she didn't want a kid's room anymore, and she had a few ideas of what she liked (including lots of flowers!) But she and her dad didn't quite know how to pull it all together into something functional and cool.
Watch how we helped her create her dream room here. And scroll down for more inspiration and details on how to get the look.
Lulu’s newly made-over bedroom is equal parts girlie, boho and functional – with a pop of floral fun.
Hanging up DIY flower dangles next to the bed forms a bright and happy feature wall (which is pretty fun to wake up to).
Bed linen in a grown-up shade of pink pairs with boho throw cushions (plus a bit of a nod to the room’s leafy plant theme) for a cosy sleeping spot.
On bed: KOO Finley Quilt Cover Set in pink, KOO 400 Thread Count Cotton Sheet Set Double in white, Ombre Home Boho Bloom Circle Mandala Cushion, KOO Home Leaf Applique Cushion Linen, Hotel Savoy Pure Linen European Pillowcase in white, Ever Rest Deluxe Fibre Quilt in white, Ombre Home Classic Chic Chenille Throw in blue.
Lulu keeps friends and family close to her with a cute collage photo frame above the bed.
Meanwhile, a neutral tray on the bedside table neatly contains books and candles.
Left: (on wall above bed) Cooper & Co Metallic Clock in gold, Living Space Collage Frame with Words in natural, plant print similar to Cooper & Co Fern On Pink Wooden Frame Print in pink. Right: (on bedside table) Ombre Home Mediterranean Summer Rattan Tray in natural, Bouclair Chic Bloom Wire Candle Holder in gold, Living Space Lotus Candleholder in pink.
Lulu’s DIY flower dangles create a gorgeous feature wall, and a colour palette that’s picked up in the room’s decor and wall art.
For instructions on how to create your own flower dangles, see our easy project here. We used (among other flowers) Ranunculus Stem 50cm in pink, Sunflower Stem 65cm in yellow, Mum Flower 63cm in orange, Rose Spray 61cm in pink, 10 Rose Stand Bouquet in lemon salmon.
Some of Lulu’s favourite images cluster on the wall near this restful geometric print (with added macrame garland for an extra boho touch).
A neatly organised desk is an inviting spot for homework.
Lulu’s displays fun stuff on the shelves, and provides clear space to work on.
Left: Desk with Ombre Home Boho Bloom Knit Throw in mint on chair and KOO Bamboo Bathroom Bin in bamboo on floor. Right: (on shelf) Bouclair Chic Bloom Geo Lantern in purple, Ombre Home Boho Bloom Mood Board (on desk) Bouclair Chic Bloom Deco Ball in gold.
Make sure everything has a home! This includes coloured pencils, pens and notebooks on a tody desktop.
Cork and felt boards up top display pictures and important notices – and lots of photos of friends and family.
Lulu competes for bathroom time, so a dedicated ‘getting ready space’ helps her morning routine. Key features here are an eye-height mirror and a trolley holding make-up, hair brushes and toiletries.
Getting ready space: Living Space Circle Wooden Mirror in natural, Crafters Choice Portland Three Tier Utility Trolley in white, Botanica 45 cm Monstera Plant in green, blue pot similar to Living Space European Holiday Mosaic Ceramic Planter Pot #3 in sky. On wardrobe door: Ombre Home Weathered Coastal Beaded Garland in natural.
Cute storage jars and baskets mean Lulu can stash away small things like hair ties and hair pins, lipstick and cotton pads.
Luly always know where to find them again.
In trolley: (top tier) Ombre Home Boho Bloom Seagrass Trinket Box in natural, KOO Glass Jar in green, Living Space Summer Life Etched Botanical Vase in yellow, Maria George Coloured Peacock Feather 2 Pack in black (middle tier) Casa Domani Trellis Storage Jar in clear, Ombre Home Weathered Coastal Basket With Tassels in white & natural (bottom tier) Bouclair Purely Pastel Cotton and Rope Basket in white.
Breaking up the dark grey carpet with a bit of texture and fun.
There’s a round jute rug and a nod to Lulu’s childhood via a cute stack of Golden Books.
Rug on floor: Koo Home Tyne Round Jute 150cm Round Rug in natural.
