The Kids’ bathroom
We’re so excited to share the kids’ bathroom– it might be our most joyful room yet. Bold wallpaper, cheerful yellow tile, and brushed gold fixtures come together in a space that feels whimsical, intentional, and completely custom (even though most of it came from accessible sources).
This article shares where the design started, all the sources, and, for members– don’t miss my breakdown of the materials budget and how to pull colors from a busy pattern featuring this bathroom.
Where The Design Started
The bathroom design was inspired by the Animal Kingdom wallpaper by Little Greene Paint Co. I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it, and then all of the other pieces just sort of fell into place.
The wallpaper features an imaginative cast of characters like a polar bear, penguins, an elephant, and an ostrich. It’s drawn from a playful 1930s fabric originally used for children’s nursery slipcovers in a grand English country house.
Changes We Made
We kept the bathroom layout as-is, and this really helped with the cost and timing for the project. The fact that it’s a small space helped constrain the scope because there really weren’t any obvious alternative layout options. No big decisions needed!
The changes we made include new tile, wallpaper, plumbing fixtures, and a vanity. We also painted the trim Stone Blue and the mirror Romesco to tie into our upstairs color palette. Check out the color palette for our home— you’ll see what paint colors we use downstairs and what we use upstairs in the kids’ spaces.

The bathroom design centers around our upstairs color palette:
The Animal Kingdom wallpaper incorporates all of these colors, so the rest was simple: Stone Blue on the trim and door, Romesco on the mirror, tray, and stool.

Vanity
I was very excited to add this to the space! I was surprised to see how affordable it was compared to similar vanities. It’s often on sale, so keep an eye out if you are considering it! We have the 48″ size with one sink.
