Blue Lagoon Build - Rumpus & Kids' Rooms

A Loft of Fun

We first fell in love with Kyal and Kara when they appeared on The Block and have loved following their progress. Now we watch them undertake their first knock-down rebuild with the fabulous Blue Lagoon beachside family home. And the focus on family has never been more evident than in the designs for the kids’ bedroom, the toy room and, of course the dual-level rumpus room. All three rooms prioritise fun above all else, while still providing plenty of functional elements and while keeping with Kyal and Kara’s luxe coastal style.

Stairway to Kid's Heaven

While the downstairs area in the rumpus room focuses on family time, the upstairs loft is all about the kids. And while you may think that the exposed beams or large windows are the hero of the space, in this room, it’s all about the helical staircase.

Windows on both sides of this large, bright room are dressed with our S Fold sheer curtains in Marzipan from the Allusion range, with the gentle folds in the curtains mirroring the curves in the staircase.

With large windows on both sides of the room, light plays an important aspect in this room. Sheers were the perfect choice, creating a soft light on both sides of the room that highlights design features.

With essentially two ceiling heights above the sofa, Kyal and Kara chose a soft white that matches their paint colour to create a sense of unity.

In a room with so many heroes, these pale sheer curtains in Marizpan from the Allusion range, create the perfect textural backdrop that work as well with the coastal colour palette as they would in any home.

Our Allusion range is great for common areas like this rumpus room. The material uses 54% linen and is woven for cotton and a small amount of polyester for a luxe, natural looking fabric with extra durability that is perfect for high use areas.

The combination of sheers and block out roller blinds works as well in the kids’ room as it would in any bedroom. The minimalist block out blind is ideal for sleep ins, while the sheers add a soft textural element and also provide privacy.

The neutral colour choices are ideal for rooms that may change. When the toy room eventually becomes another bedroom, the timeless curtains won’t need an update.

Our sheer curtains from the Alexandra range, colour Smoke is perfect for this kids bunk room. A great durable material which complements the colour palette of the room, but will the durability you expect from a polyester fabric.

Focus on Fun

If transforming a second kid’s bedroom into a dedicated toy room doesn’t scream fun and family, then we don’t know what does. The kids’ bedroom and the toy room have distinct difference but find harmony in similar design features including wood panelling in both rooms and sheer curtains that create a youthful, soft light. The use of Marzipan sheers in Allusion match the choice in the rumpus room and create a sense of cohesion throughout the three spaces.
