Redoing a teen’s bedroom so it will mature with him

Sarah Cole’s consumers tasked her with overhauling their teenage son’s bed room so that it would endure effectively following he leaves the nest. “It was really important that their son love the room now and when he receives older,” she says. The principal of Sarah C. Interiors took cues from the teen’s flavor for simplicity and affinity for industrial elements, when thinking of the design and palette elsewhere in the Newton household. She was also careful not to overlook the home’s conventional Victorian character. “We wished the furnishings format to accentuate the unique architecture, so we nestled the mattress in the curve of the round corner against a backdrop of draperies,” she suggests.

A teenage boy’s bedroom gets remade with the aim of making him at ease there for many years to arrive.

1. A preppy plaid rug changed wall-to-wall carpeting at the time the room’s authentic broad-plank pine flooring had been refinished. “The pure wooden reflects the age of the property,” Cole suggests.

2. Cole chose Visible Comfort and ease flooring lamps from Light New England in Charlestown rather of sconces, which would have interrupted the draperies and been also significantly from the mattress.

3. Personalized curtains with black grommets soften the home windows powering the linen-upholstered mattress. “The consumer did not like the idea of patterned draperies or trim, so very simple panels created sense,” Cole states.

4. A chandelier with adjustable arms by Barn Mild Electrical Firm adds an industrial contact to the top of the room. It also echoes the metallic sculptures that the teenager tends to make in his spare time.

5. Sisal wallpaper by Thibaut from The Martin Group in the Boston Style Center injects texture. “Navy paint would have felt far too flat in opposition to the plain mattress and material,” Cole says.

6. Prompted by a ask for to integrate reclaimed wooden, Cole commissioned a reclaimed-wooden and raw metal desk from Mix 9 by means of CustomMade.
