Creating our own Hogwarts*

We’ve recently redecorated our smallest bedroom and the older two swapped around ready for the boys sharing.

We let Izzy decide on how she wanted it to look. After all it’s her that has to sleep and spend time in there. After a lot of thought she decided on a Harry Potter theme overall so the planning and Pinterest search started.

The big decision was firstly what colour to go for. Like I’ve mentioned it’s the smallest room so it needed to be a colour that was light and airy. We headed to our local diy shop having a look at all the choice. Izzy asked if she could have grey and chose the shade Pewter Grey in the Dulux range. It isn’t too dark and goes perfect with the white skirting and wood work already in the room. They compliment each other really well.

Been a massive Potter fan she wanted the illusion of stepping onto platform 9 3/4. Through the wall. At one point she even asked if we could have a trolley stuck out full of Hogwarts Luggage. That was just a step too far for my creative skills I’m afraid. However we came up with the compromise of having one of the walls wallpapered with a brick effect. I’m really pleased with the effect of this and how well it looks. Considering myself or my hubby had never wallpapered before.

We went for a highsleeper bed from Argos the Ohio sleeper. This is perfect as it is a bed, desk, wardrobe and shelves all in one. Izzy loves it having her own creative space to enjoy. A great feature of the bed is a little space at the back where she can keep all her toys and teddies. So her room no longer looks cluttered 24/7 hrs a day. Again we went for this in white along with adding a billy bookshelf from Ikea.

After this came my favourite part of adding little touches to give it that Potter Magic. So much of the extras came from Primark. They have a amazing selection of Potter merchandise. We used fairy lights shaped like sweet bottles from Honeydukes. Bunting of all the Hogwarts houses everyone is included Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

It was looking fantastic but I was still searching for something a little extra to finish it off. This was when the company EduPrints Plus got in touch asking if we would like some of there gorgeous prints. They have a wide range of Educational Prints that are super fun, Inspirational and just overall beautifully decorated.

Myself and Izzy sat down, took a look at the website. Where we were very much spoiled for choice. Each and every design is just fantastic. They have everything from times table’s to Inspiring quotes. It was such a hard decision but we are super happy with what we picked and they have just added that something extra to the overall look of Izzys bedroom. We will definitely be back for some for our boys room too to brighten it up and give it the same finishing touch.
