HOW I REVAMPED MY SONS BOX ROOM OF DOOM

At the end of October I shared with you my Room revamp ideas for the box Bedroom which is my sons room. Chester is a 9 year old boy who has Autism with sensory and sleep issues so this room had to deliver in so many aspects. It’s not a room that particularly filled me with joy.

Let’s dive in…. or should I say squeeze as it is the box room after all.

This room has filled me with doom to say the least, there is so many aspects of this room that puts me in a paddy. Chester is nine with autism so creating a calm space that is not  over stimulating is a must, the room also needs to be welcoming and comfortable oh and the last factor it needs to give the illusion of space because oh yes this is the box room of doom. It’s always the way, last one in gets the box room.

So how am I going to pull this off I hear you say, I’m also wondering this to so let’s have a look at my vision.

The wallpaper was what took me the longest time to find, I wanted it to be something that was engaging but not  overstimulate. Finding this Wild Hearts Wonder wallpaper was like a breath of fresh air, it ticks all the boxes plus isn’t restrictive to an age.
