Last summer we did a room refresh of my daughter’s room with Havely. We worked with a Havenly designer who collaborated one-on-one throughout the entire process to find stylish solutions that fit the style and budget we had in mind. My adult daughter loves art, and traveling and has enmassed quite a collection of vinyl records, and wanted a colorful, happy room with easy maintenance.
WHAT IS IN THIS POST
Concept Phase
Once we selected our designer from the Havenly website, we sent her the measurements of the room and had a quick call to discuss what our expectations were and what design styles, and colors we had in mind.
Kayla, our designer with Havenly came up with a concept plan and then selected these products, especially for my daughter’s room. We were then asked to rate the items based on our style and budget. We rated each item to let her know yay or nay! If she missed the mark with anything, all we had to do was just let Kayla know and we got some new suggestions.
The Before: A Childhood bedroom with lots of memories
Miss Peachy was home after four years of college and the room had all her things from middle school through high school years.
Going forward, she wanted the room to be a little more grown-up but still cozy and to function as her private space. Her childhood bedroom housed random things like soccer trophies, old photos, and random clothes that she didn’t use anymore. It held a lot of memories but was chaotic and the space was not cohesive.
She wanted the room to feel personal, grown-up but also serene. A space that would make her feel at home yet allow her to daydream. A place where she can be surrounded by things that she loved—like art, posters from her favorite concerts, photos of her travels, and friendships.
We relocated most of the things to another area of the home and started fresh. Things that she wanted to hold on to were boxed and stored and others we donated. She loved her bed, so we kept the bed and newish table. We took down all the photos and redid the wall space. We brought in a low credenza for her record collection and books.
After Havenly
Kalya, our designer sent us a layout plan along with the products she had chosen for us after the concept phase. We made the purchases based on her suggestions and had them shipped home. My favorite addition to the room is the mirror. It not only opens up the room but adds color to the space. The photos and art make it personal and the colors of the velvet chair and the fun pillow cases tie everything together.
