HIGH HOPES FOR STYLING A TWIN ROOM!

Twin bedrooms are kind of like powder rooms to me....from a decor stand point that is.  A cute small guest powder room has traditionally been the place in a home that interior designers and design enthusiasts use to make a big decor statement with bold wallpaper, daring paint color, exotic finishes, statement tiling, whimsical accessories and more.

Similarly, a twin bedroom, whether it be for guests or kids should be a room in which you take a risk and have some decorating fun.

What better way to make a design statement in a twin bedroom than with a high profile headboard or bed frame?  A taller than normal headboard or bed profile can definitely up the ante in visual impact.

Here are some examples...

Which of these twin rooms do you prefer?  I am having a hard time deciding!  None can also be an answer...if so, how might you style a high profile twin bed!

Happy Wednesday!

  6. Be still my heart! I'm in heaven! Designing a twin bedroom and having custom four poster beds made was one of the highlights in my life! My daughter's room is a dream if I do say so myself! Wish I could photograph it well and show you! These pictures are breathtaking!
