The wallpaper is a pinstripe meant to mimic mens shirting; we love how it provides a bright blue background for the room. The strong red of the headboards, bedskirts and window shades embellished with navy blue tape made for a bold contrast. When looking for art above the headboards, we found small reproductions of Ellsworth Kelly prints, framing them simply to add some sophistication. The table between the two beds is a Robsjohn-Gibbings table that belonged to the client. It definitely brought an element of vintage charm that every room needs.

In this young boy’s room in a Brooklyn Heights townhouse, we wallpapered one wall with a colorful map wallpaper. It’s so cheerful, and was selected in part because we came to know the precocious and inquisitive little boy who lives here. Simple bookshelves were designed above and on either side of a radiator cover to create a space that feels intentional in on awkward part of the wall.

Both of these boy’s rooms have adjoining bathrooms. Below left, a Parish Hadley  star print wallpaper coordinated well with the traditional pinstripe in the bedroom. For the Brooklyn townhouse bathroom, below right, we went bolder and chose a strong green ceramic tile for the walls around the bathtub and shower, and a super cheerful navy blue penny tile for the floor. The window shade is a geometric print in navy and white, trimmed in dark green.

This bathroom, below, is outside the bedroom so guests can use it too. The stripe American rag rug is the perfect element to draw you down the hallway. The child’s chair was a fun find one Saturday at an estate sale.
