With a tiny house, we know if we have more than one baby, they’ll be sharing space for sure. I always have an eye out for examples of appealing shared rooms and stash them in case I need them some day.

A two-child room with interesting colors and baroque beds. I like the indoor/outdoor rug idea (and the $5000 Serge Mouille light!):

Zara Home Kid, neutral inspirationThis photo, from last season’s Zara Home kid collection (not available in the US), is one of the inspiration images I go back to a lot. (Click on it to see the full-size version.) It helps me remember my goal of creating a serene space for Little Capucine. My guiding words are ’serene’ and ‘happy’ - the happy part is easy, with all the color out there for kids. The ’serene’ part is the challenging one, so pictures like this are a big help! I like the colors in this room mostly - white, flax-grey, and wood. I try to stick with those myself, but color is so tempting!

A wardrobe and a room this size sure would be nice to have, too - it’s hard to get this bare feeling in a little room. I noticed they are using the same wardrobe and chair as props this season, so I guess the stylists at Zara loved them too!
