Wallpaper isn't just for walls! In this project, we decided to accentuate the ceiling with a subtle checkered wallpaper in the most beautiful shade of blue. Wallpapering a ceiling is such a simple way to instantly add interest to a room.

Since the room had 4 pot lights without a center light fixture, I decided to just work with what we had! So we swapped out the pot lights with unique flush mounts to highlight the ceiling even further. The custom dual-tone flush mounts we selected make me think of little moons perched up in the sky and I truly adore how this vision all came together.

The overall colour palette brings together soft blues, ivory and grey with a mix of whitewashed and light wood tones to warm things up. My room designs aren’t complete without a little pattern play, so you’ll notice cute checkered and striped accents in some of the storage baskets, cushions and a cozy floor pouf. It was important to my client that I incorporate a quiet play area in the room as well, so we chose my favourite IKEA cubby shelf to store away books, trucks and toy collections. A boucle lounge chair paired with a wood side table and pleated floor lamp creates the perfect bedtime reading spot for the family. Lastly, I sourced some adorable illustrated vintage airplane and car art prints for this transportation obsessed toddler.

We planned out the room so that it could also easily adapt overtime; the idea will be to swap out the crib for a daybed placed against the feature wall, which means nothing else will need to be moved around! Longterm space planning is always such an integral part of my design process — there’s nothing more important than creating a room that can still function for several years down the line!
