SISTER’S ROOM

BRIEF:

The interior design of a children’s room for two young sisters is based on the idea of creating a shared space in which each child has her own zone for play, reading, and rest. The brief included the design of comfortable sleeping in the form of bunk beds, sufficient storage capacity, and a solution that can naturally adapt as the children grow.

​

CONCEPT:

The central element of the room is a pair of white bunk beds connected by a bridge above the entrance door. The structure is designed to be solid and safe, with the ability to evolve over time. At an early age, the beds can be fitted with protective safety nets around the perimeter, which can later be removed and replaced with standard railings.

Access to the bunk beds is provided by plywood steps that also incorporate hidden storage for toys. In the future, the steps can be replaced with a ladder, and the freed-up space can be used either for a small desk with shelving or for additional built-in storage, depending on the children’s current needs.

Under each bunk bed, a small “living nook” is created for play and reading. The walls are complemented by shallow shelves with elastic cords for displaying favourite books, drawings, and small objects. The space can be furnished with mattresses or modular foam furniture, allowing the children to build forts and play structures. In the early years, the lower level can also serve as a sleeping area, while the upper bunks remain dedicated to play.

For greater privacy, curtains can be added to the lower part of the bunk beds, transforming the space into a cosy hideaway and encouraging imaginative play.

Material Concept

Materially, the design works with a neutral and timeless palette. The bunk beds are designed in white laminate combined with a white powder-coated steel structure, while the steps and built-in storage are made of birch plywood, adding warmth and a sense of cosiness to the interior. Safety nets can be executed either in white or using natural rope materials. Accessories and textiles allow for playful use of pastel tones such as light pink, mint, apricot, or soft yellow.
