The Princess Bed from ZoyaB. Collection - is every little girls dream…
The centerpiece of this room is the “Princess Bed”. Designing it, I was inspired by a bed which belonged to an 18th century Swedish baroness. I wanted this little princess to feel like she is in an English rose garden, and there are roses everywhere…on the walls...on the bedding…on the rug. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, which was one of my favorite childhood stories. So, when I was designing the rug, I made the roses gigantic and used deeper colors to ground the room. With a feminine color palette of lavender, green and pink, our petite occupant is bound to feel like royalty.
At the foot of the bed, there is an accommodation for an even smaller occupant. Made out of solid mahogany in the same style as the princess bed, the “Cafenero Dog Bed” assures that our little girl’s prince relaxes in the lap of luxury. After all you’ve given the princess a royal bed, her dog need not sleep like a beast.
One thing that I always consider when designing a child’s room is the educational value of the pieces I choose. For this room I went with a series of needlepoint canvases. Each one is a work of art, and depicts a fairy tale that every little girl knows and loves; including: Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, The Wizard of OZ and The Nutcracker. I hope that the artwork will evoke a curiosity in the child as well as a thirst for literature and knowledge of all kinds. I believe that teaching a child the value of education is crucial in their development. As far as I am concerned it is never too early to learn.
I put a great deal of thought into the details of every room I design because I feel it's the smaller touches that bring everything together. Starting from the rug all the way to the lighting fixtures, this room puts a modern twist on old world charm and is suitable for even the most contemporary princess.
