ORC Week 1 | Mood Board | Global Boho Girls Bedroom

It’s One Room Challenge time again! The One Room Challenge is a bi-annual design event, hosted by Calling It Home. Over the course of six weeks, design bloggers work on transforming a space, posting weekly updates. I’m planning a boho girls bedroom makeover for my daughter.

Previous One Room Challenge Makeovers

This is my third time joining the ORC. Last autumn, I gave our master bedroom a neutral, layered makeover. It became my office too, with the addition of that glorious DIY live edge desk.

Last Spring, I worked on the bedroom that both our kids were sharing at the time. I turned it into a bright and colourful space for them to sleep and play in.

Since then, our daughter has moved out into her own room. A few little updates turned the shared room into a space just for our son.

But, while he’s happy with a fun, finished space to call his own, his little sister is living with a mis-matched jumble of furniture with nowhere else to go. So this time around, I’m giving her bedroom a makeover.

Global Boho Girls Bedroom Mood Board

I’m going for global boho with midcentury accents, a touch of industrial styling, and lots of texture. Here’s my mood board for the room:

I wanted neutral and layered, because our bedroom is my favourite room in the house and I’m all for more of that. Eleanor is five, though, and she wants all the colours. I struggled with it for a while, until I found that rug. It’s got purple, mustard, mint, navy, coral and blush pink in, so she should be happy too. It’s pretty bold, so I’m keeping the rest of the space more neutral but with lots of texture and just a few colourful accents.

I’m going to share the source list, ‘before’ photos and more deets on the plans next week. Looking forward to getting the ball rolling!
