Bedrooms Now and Zen Minimalism and kids rooms might sound like a contradiction in terms but it can be done and still be a fun, stimulating place for children of any age. Paint them the same colour as the walls to blend in. Try painting each wall in a different solid block of colour.
Pale colours can work just as well as bright, primary ones.
Laurence made collages of flames and fish for the central panels of the walls, but you could use anything your children are into or even better let them do it. If you make the collage detachable, it can be changed as their tastes evolve. They ll soon grow out of the Thomas the Tank Engine and Miffy duvets. Laurence made unique bedspreads and matching headboards by dying material green and creating patterns with real leaves and light activated dye . Try creating a Buddhist living room.
