I LOVE how the prints Mila and I choose together, look in her bedroom…The Friends of Violet poster by Studio Violet is my latest love. I have always been a fan of Camilla Engman and Elisabeth Dunker‘s work so I’m super happy to have this beautiful poster they designed together now on B&F (and now, we also have the Friends of Violet wallpaper!).
Elisabeth and Camilla have also designed some gorgeous postcards here that would look very nice framed individually and hang in a row.
My other ‘coup de coeur‘ was this Nelly poster by Betsy Benn. Betsy’s Quintessentially print is already a best-seller but my heart belongs to Nelly because I knew as soon as I saw it that it would be just perfect against Farrow & Ball Down Pipe paint I had in mind at the time. Both prints are super easy to frame as the Studio Violet design fits perfectly in a 50 x 70 cm picture frame from Ikea (I always use the RIBBA) and the Nelly print is a standard A2 format which most framing shops have in stock.
The room displays Mila’s favourite toys and gifts which all have a little story to them like the yellow Apple we got from our last trip in Hong-Kong when we both went to explore Stanley market while Steve was working or the DREAM sign she broke, hide at the bottom of her basket under all her Doudous, which eventually I found months later and glued back, her latest present from me: the Doudou Superstar cushion, the vintage globe purchased at Columbia market, little gifts from Elodie and Lily she cherishes and Liberty cushions I made for her + one I brought back from my last trip to Paris.
I got the old Mickey on E-bay for my retro toys collection but lately everything I buy seems to end up in her space…The day after I bought a big rubber duck for my studio from the Paul Smith shop in Borough market, Steve found her sitting in the bathroom counting all her coins to see if she had enough to buy it from me. Her dad gave her £10, I ‘sold’ it to her at a loss but I ended up with a very happy little girl :-)
In the end, without too much pink, her room looks like a proper little girl room with cool pieces of design like the Norm 06 pendant light mixed with retro collectables robots and is so far, my favourite room in the house but if you are after more ideas on how to decorate a little girl’s bedroom in pink and grey you may want to read this.
What a gorgeous room you created. I love the grey hues, the bird peg line, the toadstool coat hook. You have some fabulous finds.
wow, what a beautiful room! i wish wish wish oscar’s room were so cool.
bravo!
so cool. Love the grey. So French, so Chic xx
wow the room looks amazing – i love it. would you be able to let me know the names of the Farrow and Ball paints you used on the walls? Thanks xx
I used the Down Pipe with a Modern Emulsion which I highly recommend. I had used down pipe estate emulsion in our house in France and although the colour looks great, it has a mat finish that shows marks. The Modern Emulsion is deeper, glossier and nicer I think but also it’s washable and is scuff resistance which is perfect for a child’s bedroom

Hello, its really lovely. Where oh where did you get that lovely star cushion from? Hoping you sell them but had a quick look and I don’t think you do…
Hi Lindsay,
We do! The Superstar cushion is by Kayatine, a label set u by a young French designer and her mum. They also do adorable doudous (soft toys) for babies
The Superstar cushion is available in red (like the one Mila has in her bedroom) and in yellow
