Island-style Paradise

Create a tropical paradise as a teenager retreat. Every room design has a starting point, and in this teenager space, there was no doubt: The theme had to be and island-style tropical paradise, but not surfer girl.


 
 

With that in mind, this room was created to reflect the high-energy lifestyle of a tween girl. By mixing natural tones with splashy hues, the colour palette became obvious. The rest - punchy bedding, fun desk doodads, and a woven window shade - flowed like lava into a room that coordinates without being "matched." An ocean-blue ceiling blankets the whole space with a sense of tropical rest and relaxation.

Create the look

Woven furnishings will grow with a tween girl beyond her love of splashy island colours. In addition to a woven wicker full-size bed, this room features a large woven storage basket as a nightstand. Filled with silk hibiscus blooms and covered with an inexpensive glass round, this is one idea that can be used in any room of the house.

Dressing up


A favourite fabric inspired the playful flowers and vine, which were painted freehand using a variety of brushes. You also can use stencils to get a perfect floral flourish. A brightly painted desk and chair help pull the colour scheme off the walls and into the room. They also offset the neutral beige and brown of the woven bed, nightstand, and lounging chair.

Make Up Mirror

The mirror above the dresser is budget-friendly: Embellish an unframed piece with silk blooms using a glue gun. A smiling hula dancer is reflected in the mirror.
