Mt Eden, Auckland
This bedroom is for twin baby girls, who are now a year old. The Mt Eden home is a sophisticated scheme in black, white and red. The twins’ bedroom is an age appropriate interpretation of this theme.

Black and white is represented in many patterns and textures in the room from the spotted wallpaper to the plaid curtains, upholstery fabric and the white feet and wooden trim on the sofa. It was appropriate to select a contrasting wallpaper baby pink in colour with stylised flowers that gives another twist to dots. Dots are also seen in small pink circular floor rugs, paper flowers hanging from the ceiling, the drum ceiling pendant, and the mirror.
The inspiration for the pops of colour in the room come from the colourful floor rug.
The room had been wallpapered, and so it made sense to wallpaper again. The interior designer had an interior scheme in mind, and happily Resene had the wallpaper – Schoner Wohnen 2011 and Boys & Girls III 1721-50 – to fill the vision. The wallpaper was joined with a wardrobe front in Resene Cosmos and all trims in Resene Rice Cake.
The bedroom will change as the girls grow out of their cots. However, the wallpaper will remain in the foreseeable future, because it is an exciting scheme to be creative with.
