Bring a bit more fun into the kids bedroom with waves and squiggles
In this modern child’s room, a jaunty squiggle design has been painted and repeated throughout the space on the headboard, bedside table, side wall, and even as a frame for art.
Paired with this charming design is another very on-trend look; tonal terracotta. Using a palette of Resene Bone, Resene Kalgoorie Sands, Resene Beethoven and Resene Just Right paired with natural materials and pockets for fresh white accents, this squiggly-inspired space becomes a warm and inviting room that will see your child through from toddler to teenager.
Side wall
To create the side wall with a wavy pattern, draw a line across the wall that is 1.6m off the floor. Then, either hand draw the wave pattern above the line or make a cardboard template to use as a stencil. Use a small paintbrush to outline and fill in the waves, then use a roller to apply your Resene colour on the bottom half.
Headboard
To achieve the painted headboard design, measure an area behind the bed that’s 1.2m x 1.4m. Use painter’s tape to outline the sides of the shape – we’ve used a 5cm width, then use the same template you created for the side wall or hand draw a pencil squiggle line. Paint with a small paintbrush, allow to dry, and then remove the painter’s tape.
Bedside table
For a squiggly, liquorice allsorts-inspired bedside table, paint the base in Resene Brown Sugar, allow to dry, then hand paint the squiggle onto the centre using Resene Just Right. Read More…
