Room Inspiration: The Monochrome Collection

While colourful children's rooms will always hold a special place in our hearts, we can't deny that there's something quite lovely about a classic, neutral bedroom. Perhaps it's because they feel like more a blank canvas for little ones to stamp their own personalities on. A monochrome backdrop enables favourite toys, books, drawings and photographs to take centre stage, but still allows a room to maintain a calm and stylish look and feel. Or it could be that black and white designs don't look out of place in modern family rooms and shared spaces making them a very safe purchase. What do you think?

PLAY CORNERS

rope storage baskets / height chart ruler / square teepee / blackout curtains

The zigzag-patterned square teepee is the perfect accessory/play den/soft toy storage for children's rooms but wouldn't look out of place in the corner of a living room. It's beautifully designed and wonderfully sturdy.

Style tip: Drape pastel pom poms or bunting over it to make it even prettier or wrap fairy lights around the poles for an extra magical touch.

STYLISH STORAGE

triple stacking storage / single stacking storage / rope storage baskets / sling bookcase

Toys, books, stationery, bits and bobs, the monochrome collection contains gorgeous storage to keep all rooms tidy. The sturdy stacking storage trunks are a great space saver and perfect for maximising floor space; the free standing gallery bookcase is ideal for toddlers who mostly choose books by their covers; and the tactile rope storage baskets are so handy and good looking that you'll want them for every room. 

GORGEOUS BEDDING

single duvet cover set

All of GLTC's children's bedding is made from incredibly soft cotton to keep children cool but cosy at night time. Monochrome lovers will swoon over this classic spot design with chic black piping but it would also slot seamlessly in to more colourful rooms, too. It's definitely a versatile option.

FINISHING TOUCHES

photo frame set / toy chest / book shelf / wallpaper / sweet dreams wall art

No neutral children's room would be complete without these sweet black and white finishing touches. Frames and shelves are brilliant for displaying favourite photographs or drawings and cherished trinkets. They're the small things that make a house a home and give a bedroom its personality.
