Mini was in the smallest room upstairs, but with him getting older, we wanted to give him a larger room, especially as he had asked for a desk, but we didn’t want to decorate or go to much expense. Now Mini is obsessed with London, all things to do with our nations capital. So he wanted a London themes and with the Olympics coming this year, we thought it was the perfect time to update is things.
Three of the walls in the room a very pale grey and one a sightly darker shade. We reused his bed (originally from Ikea), his curtains, wardrobe and drawers.
I have to admit I have had great fun sourcing items for his room and we are really pleased with the finished result.

We decided not to stick to one company to provide the style as we want it to be able to grow with Mini, It is his birthday in June and he has already asked for a London Bus and Taxi too!
Great ideas! You’ve made to room look very good, simple and practical ideas incorporated in there. I particularly like the little book case above his bed and the desk he has.
Cable and Cotton = to die for!
Brilliant! It’s nice to be able to work with a theme but not buy it all from the same shop. I am a huge fan of Jennie Maizels and cable and cotton lights – what a lucky boy to have such a fab bedroom.
This looks fantastic. Well done to you all. I wish I had such an eye for details. I love this. x
Fab!!! I love the union jack bean bag! What branch did you get it from? Was it recent? I’ve been ringing around all my local stores. No where has stock 🙁 Many Thanks
That looks fab, I really need to try and be more creative. I never have ideas!
