Portland Child’s Room
We renovated this room for a little car lover and bibliophile.
The sloped ceiling and limited space informed our approach - we designed the bed on one side of the room with storage where the ceiling is the lowest, leaving floor space for play.
The custom bed with built-in storage has plenty of space for books and stuffies and also a continuous surface where legendary races happen!
The chalk paint wall has become a favorite spot for visiting family to leave artful messages. The small existing closet was outfitted with off-the-shelf drawers and wall storage to create a place for the myriad objects of life.
On the periphery a visually airy metal fence keeps the neighborhood deer out as a cheery front gate welcomes people in. The lighting is discrete and designed to minimize light escape into the night sky – crucial at this ridge-top location.
