Space themed Bedroom
Location: Versoix
Creating Vertical Zones with a Space-Inspired Mezzanine
The room was designed to make the most of its height by introducing a mezzanine level that adds both function and a sense of adventure, subtly referencing the feeling of a space-themed retreat. The sleeping area was intentionally positioned beneath the mezzanine to create a cosy, cocooned environment, while the upper level was designed as a reading and sitting area—offering a quiet place to relax, imagine, and observe. This layered approach allows the bedroom to support rest, play, and exploration within one cohesive design.
Maximising Light and Perspective
Natural light was carefully considered throughout the design, with a Velux window positioned above the mezzanine to illuminate both levels and enhance the open, airy feel. A perspex convex window was thoughtfully integrated into the mezzanine wall, allowing views back over the bedroom below. This feature was designed to echo the idea of a spacecraft porthole, adding a playful, space-inspired detail while maintaining a sense of connection and safety within the room.
Integrated Storage Designed into the Architecture
Storage was seamlessly built into the staircase leading to the mezzanine, ensuring the room remains practical and uncluttered. Each step was intentionally designed to serve a dual purpose, providing discreet storage for toys, books, and everyday items. This integrated approach supports a calm environment while allowing the architectural elements of the room to remain clean and purposeful.
A Soft Space-Themed Palette with Warm Finishes
The colour palette was carefully selected to suggest a space theme in a subtle, timeless way. Deep blue tones recall the night sky, while crisp white surfaces keep the room feeling bright and spacious. Warm timber flooring and detailing were introduced to soften the overall look and add comfort. Planetary motifs and gentle lighting were layered thoughtfully, creating a bedroom that feels imaginative, welcoming, and designed to grow with its young occupant.
‘Lucy provided an amazing service from start to finish of the renovations she managed for our office, and the bedrooms of our sons. She is incredibly creative and came up with brilliant ideas on how to use the space in the rooms to best fit our needs and also tailor them to the passions of our boys. The bedrooms have literally doubled in size and the boys play in them all of the time! Lucy is a pleasure to work with - she’s attentive to the brief and desire of the client (including young children :-)) and very diligent, summarizing status of the project, keeping us involved along way, coming up with new solutions and ideas if needed as the plans progresses. She also chose high quality trade companies to carry out the renovation and bring her ideas and plans to life. The result is three wonderful rooms that have been transformed and are a joy to spend time in! I would highly recommend LA Design and working with Lucy.’
