Themed rooms
Themed children’s room & nursery designer
Not a wall sticker, but a whole world. I design bespoke themed rooms your child steps into every night, from fairytales to ballet classics.
Most themed rooms come out of a box: a castle decal, a roll of starry wallpaper, a moon-shaped lamp. Lovely for a while, but it stays loose decoration. I work differently. I design the whole room as one world, where every detail belongs and tells the same story.
A theme is not a picture, it is a world
You feel a real themed room the moment you walk in. The colour on the wall, the soft fall of light, a mantel that is no longer a mantel but a little stage, a rug of moon and stars where every daydream lands. That is the difference between sticking something on and designing it.
The worlds I make
- Fairytale rooms, from a princess world to a soft dream full of stars
- Disney-inspired rooms, with a light hand and a timeless feel
- Ballet rooms after The Nutcracker or Swan Lake, with a felt swan and a lily-pad rug
- A starlit night sky, or a world that belongs only to your child
How I build it
First the story: who your child is, what lights them up, the world they already half live in. Then colour and light, the heart of it. Then the furniture and finds I hunt down with patience. And finally the small, secret details they will still remember as a grown-up. See the full process and a few earlier rooms.
Common questions
What is a themed room, exactly?
A children’s room I design around one story or world, from a fairytale to a ballet classic. Not a sticker on the wall, but a whole world: colour, light, furniture and details that all tell the same story.
Are these official Disney rooms?
No. I design Disney-inspired rooms, not officially licensed products. I translate the feeling of the classics into an original, timeless design that belongs to your child.
Will a theme date quickly or feel too childish?
That is exactly what I design against. I use a light hand, so the room feels magical but still holds up as your child grows. A world that stays, not a phase.
Based in the Netherlands, I design for families in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and across the Randstad, in English and Dutch. Looking for a nursery designer in Amsterdam? Or read this in Dutch: sprookjeskamer laten ontwerpen.
