Henry’s bedroom updates with Serena and Lily

Our son Henry’s bedroom was ready for an update! As he enters into his pre-teen years, I felt like he needed a more grown-up space that he can grow into and that would reflect his personality. My goal was to create a bedroom that felt masculine, yet relaxed and comfortable. Since I love classic and traditional interiors with a fresh approach, I worked with Serena and Lily to create the perfect room for him!

We had recently purchased this headboard for him from Serena and Lily, but he lacked nightstands and his room just didn’t feel complete. When looking for the perfect nightstands to fill his space, I wanted to bring in more texture and warmer tones to set his room apart from his little brother’s. So, when I saw the balboa nightstands from Serena and Lily I knew they would be the perfect fit for Henry’s room. The rattan adds texture and dimension and really warms up the space. I also loved that he would have a drawer to hold his personal belongings as well as a shelf below to stack books and other items. The top of the nightstands also provides ample space for lighting , a glass of water, or other necessary items.

As much as I love blue and white, I chose to bring in warmer tones to give Henry’s updated room a more masculine and grown-up feel and I wanted to set his room apart from his younger brother’s space. I fell in love with the Hyannis Duvet Cover and matching euro shams, and selected them in the Mink color. The traditional gingham looks great against the headboard and grasscloth wallpaper on his walls (similar paper here) creating a classic look.

We had previously purchased this Montara mirror from Serena and Lily, so, to add my finishing touch, I hung it above his desk creating a clean and timeless space for studying.

I love working with Serena and Lily because the quality of their products lasts a lifetime. And, as a decorator, I’ve found that it’s so important to purchase quality furnishings that will stand the test of time … and rough, little boys! I also love a casually elegant room, even for pre-teen, and Serena and Lily’s style evokes just that: casual elegance.

Now, Henry’s room has a timeless and classic feel perfect for a young man, and I am so thankful to have been able to work with Serena and Lily to achieve this for him!

Thank you Serena and Lily for partnering on this post and gifting these beautiful pieces. All opinions are my own.
