# 17 m² Bedroom for a 6-Year-Old Girl – Iga’s Room in Poznań in Sage Green, White and Pink - URL: https://f-projektow.pl/en/m-bedroom-for-a-6-year-old-girl-igas-room-in-poznan-in-sage-green-white-and-pink.htm - ID: 611 - Blog: ybc - Published: 2026-10-22T00:00:00+00:00 How can you combine space for play, early learning and rest in one child’s bedroom? In our **bedroom design for 6-year-old Iga from Poznań**, we used a palette of sage green, white and pink, along with built-in furniture serving several functions. The 17 m² room includes a bed, a desk beneath the window, wardrobes, open shelving, a bench seat and a teepee tent. The visualisations presented here show the concept created by Fabryka Projektów. The room’s character comes not only from its colours, but also from the floral wall pattern, upholstered elements and details repeated throughout the interior. ## How did we plan Iga’s room? The short answer **The design combines storage and a workspace along the walls while leaving room for children’s activities.** The desk sits beneath the window, the bed is positioned against the floral wall, and a bench seat complements the built-in furniture. Sage green appears in the furnishings, white brings visual order to the larger surfaces, and pink connects the blinds, chair and accessories. - **Designed for:** Iga, aged 6. - **Project location:** Poznań. - **Floor area:** 17 m². - **Colour palette:** sage green, white and pink. - **Main functions:** sleeping, playing, arts and crafts, studying and storage. - **Distinctive features:** a teepee, floral wall decoration, a bench seat and a desk integrated with the built-in furniture. ## A 17 m² room layout – space for furniture and free play A six-year-old girl’s bedroom should not be designed solely around her future schoolwork. Playing on the floor, looking through books and having space for favourite toys are equally important. That is why the desk area in Iga’s room is one of several zones rather than the centre of the entire interior. We placed the tall furniture along the walls. The desk area connects visually with the shelving and cabinets, so it does not look like a separate collection of randomly chosen pieces. The teepee has its own spot beside the decorative wall, while the bed remains clearly separated from the workspace. When planning a similar room, you need to check not only the furniture dimensions, but also the space required to pull out the chair, open cupboard doors and reach the windows comfortably. A floor area of 17 m² alone does not determine the layout options — the room’s proportions and the positions of its doors and windows also matter. ## Sage green, white and pink – how did we combine the colours? **Each of the three colours has a specific role in Iga’s room.** White provides the base for the large furniture fronts. Sage green highlights the open shelving, desktop and upholstered elements. Pink reappears in the blinds, chair, cushions, lamps and handles. Repeating the same shades in several places connects the sleeping, studying and storage areas. There is no need to introduce another colour to highlight a different function within the room. Wood-effect flooring laid in a herringbone pattern completes the scheme. When recreating this combination, it is worth comparing fabric, furniture finish and paint samples in the actual room. Sage green may look greyer or greener depending on the light, while the shade of pink on a blind may not look identical to the pink upholstery. ## A desk beneath the window – a place for drawing and early learning We positioned the desk beneath the window. The long desktop provides space to spread out paper, books and supplies, while the shelving on either side keeps some items off the work surface. The pink chair echoes the blind and the lamp on the desk. This workspace can be used by a six-year-old for drawing, arts and crafts and her first school assignments. Its comfort, however, depends on how well it suits the child’s height. When choosing furniture, check the seat and desktop heights, foot support and whether the child can rest her forearms comfortably. The blind helps control daylight, while the desk lamp provides additional task lighting. Its position should take into account which hand the child writes with to reduce shadows falling across the page. ## Storage – white wardrobes and sage green shelving In Iga’s room, we used both closed cabinets and open shelves. The large white fronts reduce visual clutter, while the sage green niches provide space to display books, soft toys and decorations. Pink handles connect the built-in furniture with the rest of the scheme. This arrangement makes it possible to organise belongings according to how often they are used. Items the child needs every day should be within her reach. The higher sections can be reserved for seasonal items or things used with a parent’s help. Not every shelf in an open unit needs to be filled. Leaving some space makes it easier to add books later and ensures that the decorative part of the furniture does not compete with the floral wall. ## A built-in bench seat – an extra place to read and relax Next to the desk, we designed a bench seat with a light-coloured upholstered cushion and pink back cushions. Closed storage sits underneath, with a vertically fluted backdrop behind it. This gives a section of the wall a function beyond storage alone. The bench provides an additional spot for looking through books or taking a short break. It is also an alternative to adding a separate armchair, which would require another area of free floor space. ## The bed and floral wall – Iga’s sleeping area The sleeping area features an upholstered bed in a soft shade of sage green. Padded backrest sections sit against the wall, with a floral decoration on a light background above them. The pink floor lamp and blind repeat the colour used in the desk area. The botanical pattern is distinctive, so we kept the other large surfaces more understated. Plain furniture fronts and solid-colour fabrics allow the decorative wall to stand out without introducing too many patterns throughout the room. Decorations in a child’s bedroom can be changed over time, but the bed position and the relationship between larger pieces of furniture are worth considering in advance. It is the layout, rather than the accessories alone, that determines how the room works day to day. ## A teepee – a play space that can change over time The teepee tent is one of the most distinctly child-focused elements of this design. Positioned beside the floral wall, it creates a small space for playing with soft toys, looking through books or enjoying imaginative play. Its advantage within the layout is that it can be moved or removed without changing the main furniture. As Iga’s needs change, this part of the floor can be used for other activities. There is no need to immediately replace it with another permanent built-in unit. ## Lighting and details that bring the whole room together The visualisations show several types of lighting: ceiling spotlights, lighting along the ceiling edge, a desk lamp and a floor lamp beside the bed. Each serves a different purpose, from illuminating the room to providing light for a specific activity. Pink also appears in the light fittings. This makes the lamps part of the same scheme as the blinds, chair and handles. The result comes from consistently repeating selected colours and shapes rather than using a large number of decorations. ## What does this project show about designing a six-year-old girl’s bedroom? The key solution in Iga’s room is combining several functions within a coordinated built-in arrangement: a desk, shelving, cabinets and a bench seat. This leaves space for distinctly child-focused features, such as the teepee, without sacrificing storage or a study area. The second important decision concerns colour. Pink does not cover all the walls and furniture — it appears in numerous smaller elements. Sage green and white provide a shared backdrop. As a result, the room has a clear identity without relying on a single dominant fairy-tale theme.

A different floor area helps illustrate why a furniture layout should not be copied without adapting it to your own room. ## How should you budget for a similar room? **We do not provide a cost for completing Iga’s room because this project presentation is not an implementation estimate.** When planning a similar interior, the design, furniture, wall and floor finishes, lighting, textiles and installation work should be priced separately. - **Design:** check the scope of the service and the documentation required. - **Furniture and furnishings:** include wardrobes, shelving, a desk, a bench seat, a bed, a mattress and a chair. - **Materials:** calculate wall and floor areas and allow for the additional materials needed for installation. - **Labour:** obtain quotes for the work, delivery and installation. - **Contingency:** set aside a separate amount for expenses not yet covered by confirmed quotes. With a limited budget, it is worth prioritising essential furniture and everyday comfort before adding more decorations.

The possibilities for another room of the same floor area need to be assessed based on its dimensions and the positions of the windows and doors. ## How can a six-year-old girl’s bedroom be prepared for her future needs? It is worth separating permanent functions from furnishings that are easy to replace. In this project, the wardrobes and desk form the basis of the layout, while the teepee and decorations can change along with the child’s interests. The height of the workspace should be adapted to the child’s height as she grows. ## Does the design fee include buying furniture and fitting out the room? No. The design service fee is separate from the cost of furnishings, materials and installation work. The scope of the documentation depends on the package selected. ## Can a child’s bedroom design for a home in Poznań be commissioned online? Yes. At Fabryka Projektów, we work online using the measurements, room photographs, inspiration images and information about the child’s needs provided by the client.
