How to create a children's room that will be full of fantasy, but not infantile? Magdalena Dobródzka from Pracownia O Z KRESKĄ decided to use colors inspired by the mural visible from the windows of an apartment in Warsaw's Żoliborz district.

Together and apart
The investors are a family with two small boys. The children's rooms are located in the central part of the apartment. The kids are of similar age and spend a lot of time together, so their rooms were connected by sliding doors. This created a large playroom. At the same time, each room has a separate entrance, so they can be separated if necessary.

Decorative ceilings
Colorful ceilings inspired by circus tent are the main decoration here.
- Whenever I design children's rooms, I always want there to be a lot of fantasy in them. The kid must feel that his room is recognizable and has something special about it — says the designer.
The colors used on the ceilings are intense, but not aggressive. The designer explains that they are perceived quite differently than if the walls were painted with them. To soften the sleeping area, the wall next to the bed is two tones darker than the rest.

Space for fun
The furniture was designed by Magdalena Dobródzka. In addition to baskets and boxes for toys, the architect created platforms with drawers. In order to add variety to the simple bookcase, some shelves were moved forward and others were put in the back.
- I design furniture that have something that attracts attention, makes them interesting. It is the form and color that are most important here. Even from laminate you can conjure up something really unique — says the designer.
