Guest House Living Room
Young Explorer’s Room
We designed this room as a haven for a fictional thirteen year old boy who might have been a character in Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom”. He’s a curious boy who loves science, plants, and animals and who could be a boy scout. We wanted to embrace the aesthetic of “Moonrise Kingdom” by adding some whimsy and oddity to the room — notably the atmospheric cloud wallpaper, some quirky plants, boy scout memorabilia, a small collection of vintage items, paper mâché taxidermy and some unique books. Everything is meant to serve the narrative of an odd but wonderful young boy who is a creative thinker and who surrounds himself with nature. The sum of these curated design elements is a bedroom that provides a haven for creativity, reflection, and discovery — a reminder of the fresh air and the creatures outside; an ideal place in which to grow up.
