Bedrooms for some alone time

We all need the space to explore our own interests. For some people, that means getting out into the world, but even in a family home, environments can be created that allow individuals to find their own flow. In this apartment, the bedrooms have been designed for just that.

A bedroom for a little explorer

Creating a private space for children to explore their fascinations is a great way to encourage their curiosity.

The teen cave

A bunk bed is a great addition to a teen’s room. It means there is space for a friend to crash, and with cushions scattered along its length, it comfortably doubles as a day bed. Perfect for an afternoon of chilling, gaming or catching a snooze.

Creating spaces for private moments to oneself

Even when sharing a bedroom, there are still methods for creating pockets of privacy, such as separate stations to get ready with all the things one needs to prepare for the day ahead.

A multipurpose main bedroom

Sleep may be the primary focus in this shared bedroom, but as a calm and welcoming space, it´s also ideal for quiet solo activities such as a cozy moment with a gripping book or catching up on paperwork in a supportive office chair at the desk.
