Between discoveries and memories, a place that is all his own.
Designing a bedroom for a 12-year-old boy is also designing a space for a phase of discovery. A place that must welcome daily routine, but also leave room to play, create, study and retreat. In this project, the idea was to turn the bedroom into a universe of its own, built from his personality and routine.
Green, his favorite color, was chosen as the protagonist of the joinery and appears at different points in the room, bringing identity and a touch of color. Natural wood comes in as a contrast, warming the composition and bringing the sense of coziness we sought for the room.
On the walls, the checked wallpaper creates a delicate base, yet full of personality. Its pattern adds rhythm and texture to the room, allowing the other elements to be layered in a balanced way. The composition gains even more richness through the mix of textures and patterns: stripes on the upholstery, the checks of the pouf, natural fabrics, wood and the slatted details in the joinery, an important choice from the start of the project, incorporated into the design in a subtle way.
His references played an important role in the project's decisions. Soccer, video games and his collection of characters appear in the room spontaneously, as part of his story. The illuminated shelving, besides organizing and displaying his objects, works almost like a small collection in constant transformation, allowing the room to keep up with his new discoveries over time.
Another key point was to create a dedicated space for the computer. The desk runs along one of the walls and brings study, organization and leisure together in a single composition. The joinery was designed to make intelligent use of the space, incorporating shelves, niches and storage areas, without giving up visual lightness.
The lighting was designed to follow the different moments of the room. Indirect light under the shelves and along the wooden panels creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, while the adjustable lighting serves study and everyday use. They are different possibilities within a single room, which can be more functional during the day and more intimate at its end.
More than a bedroom, it is a space designed to accompany this phase of life: to study, play, rest, welcome friends and create new memories.
The result is a room that seeks to balance timelessness and personality, order and spontaneity, sophistication and the lightness that belongs to this phase of life. A space that can change over time without losing what makes it unique.
