Larrie Hermans is an interior designer by profession, and his work has been featured in many international design magazines. He was born in Germany in a small medieval riverside town Cochem. After spending the first 5 years of his life in this town, he moved to New York as this was where his parents eventually settled. He currently lives with his family in Staten Island. He has written a book about the art of interior décor for children’s bedroom, and the following are a few important points that he discusses.
The perfect balance of practicality and creativity has been achieved and will easily appeals to parents and children alike.
Use innovative storage solutions disguised by splashes of color to make any room look fun and interesting.
Use wall art to your benefit to create character to a room.
Twin bunk beds offer a lot of style and provide multifunctional built-in shelving, staircases and storage units. Although cabin beds are a better option for children under six.
Avoid anything like open drawers that can be used to climb.
Dangling lamp cords need to be secured so children don’t use them to pull and swing.
As a rule of thumb, don’t use mirrors or heavy picture frames that can pose a danger to the children.
Bed location is very important. Larrie Hermans suggests that underneath a window, directly against a radiator or with shelves, ledges or appliances are all bad positions for a bed to be placed.
Space sharing is a great way to accommodate more children in one room.
Choose one in a color and style that will grow with them and can be easily decorated around.
Larrie Hermans believes that life is too short to be lived doing boring things, and that’s why he takes great pride in creating one of a kind rooms for his clients. He has used his creativity to design beautiful rooms for both children and adults in many places around the globe. One day he hopes to go back to Germany and see the town where he was born.
