Inside a Mermaid-Inspired Bedroom with Gabrielle from Coastal Dream Spaces

Gabrielle, I love your gorgeous Palm Springs inspired home. What made you choose a mermaid themed room for your daughter? 

“I loved the idea of Pearl being surrounded by beautiful, mystical creatures.”

I noticed your daughters name is Isla Pearl – is there a connection with her name to the ocean? 

“Yes, I am happiest basking up the sunshine, looking out at the ocean – there is no better feeling then leaving everything behind & letting the power of a wave rush over you. I wanted my daughter to have the most beautiful, ocean inspired name.”

How do you start the process of decorating a room in your house?

“First, I create a mood board containing images that inspire me from pinterest. I then stand at the door and select the main hero furniture piece that will suit the space. I then source styling pieces that are in line with my mood inspiration. I always prefer to shop small.”

What is your favorite decor piece in Isla’s room? 

“The life size Palm Tree Decal by Phoenix and the Ocean was an absolute game changer – it instantly created fun Island vibes. The personalised name plaque by Letterly took my breath away. The child like prints by Little Peach and Pip are super fun & the mermaid decals by Miss Pie Design perfectly set the mermaid theme.”
