Tween boy small bedroom

Doné Hanekom
8 years ago
My 11 year old has the smallest room in the house. It has a built-in wardrobe, a bed and a bedside table. That is all he needs right now. We have a playroom and he does his homework at the dining room table. A year ago we added cubes on his wall for extra storage. But he keeps adding things and it quickly turned into a cluttered space (and a mission to clean).
To close the cubes, I added 2 canvasses as doors. I painted it black, create some pics on Photoshop and printed it at Big W. I modge podged it on the canvases and hubby added hinges. It works perfect. We gave the room a fresh coat of paint, new bedding and some quirky details. The only request from my boy is LED lighting. We bought it at Ikea and they are perfect. It changes colour and have different settings.

      It is Taubman's Sheer Hose. It is a really good grey. Doesn't have a blue undertone.
