Out of This World Bedrooms

Inspired by Childrens Books

We all remember the endless appeal and excitement which preluded story-time as a child. Pulling down your chosen classic from the shelf, pouring over the fantastical images and diving into the worlds which the authors offered. Begging your parents to read “just one more chapter” so you could reside in these magical lands for a moment longer. Knowing that even when the book closed, you could revisit these wonderlands in your sleep.

Whether you dreamed of winning a Golden Ticket, or your mouth watered at the thought of a certain giant fruit – we all hoped that one day our dreams would become a reality.

Well, what if we told you, that day has finally come?

To celebrate World Book Day, we chose five unforgettable children’s books, and with the help of a 3D render, allowed these extraordinary worlds to come to life in children’s bedrooms – with a few tips on how to recreate these at home yourself with our very own products.

Feel free to rub your eyes, but we can promise you’re not dreaming. Discover the incredible results here.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired bedroom

No matter what age you are, we’ve all dreamed of exploring Willy Wonka’s factory. The delicious possibilities which Roald Dahl teased us with in his 1964 classic guaranteed to live in our imaginations forever.

Well you’re in luck, with our recreation of Willy Wonka’s factory, you’ll certainly feel like you’ve won the golden ticket!

Oozing with colourful concoctions and confectionary recreations, this bedroom promises the kind of sugar high that would never fade. From delectable lickable wallpaper to swirly lollipops sprouting from the floor, it’s a struggle not to lick your lips in envy!

If you dream of recreating your own sweet shop, then you’ll love our chocolate fountain and personalised sweet hamper.

The Gruffalo inspired bedroom

This classic rhyming tale is a fitting choice for our first childhood bedroom, as the story showcases the sheer power of imagination. To protect himself from his predators, the little mouse invents a monster with “terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws”. Imagine his surprise when he bumps into the real life Gruffalo!

Whilst we can promise that there are no monsters lurking in our recreation, there are certainly a few surprises in store!

Get ready to get lost in the magical forest, surrounded by the calming greens and blues of this woodland escape. Explore every crevice to reunite with all your favourite characters and set up camp in our tree trunk bunk beds, with the friendly Gruffalo minding you as you sleep.

James and the Giant Peach inspired bedroom

Children might be notorious for their dislike of fruit and vegetables, but after reading Roald Dahl’s immersive adventure, the prospect of peaches becomes suddenly more exciting!

On his adventures, James puts his trust in magic and meets an assortment of wonderfully weird garden bugs who change his life forever. You may not be able to dive into a giant peach, but this room recreation is just as sweet.

Curl up in your very own peach bed, admire the birds above and soak in the sweet pastel palette of this delectable room. Whether you want to admire the handiwork of Miss Spider’s web or hang out on your glow-worm seat – there’s so much to enjoy in this perfect peach pit.

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe inspired bedroom

Ever checked for a magical portal to an icy wonderland at the back of your wardrobe? Well, with our recreation, you’ll feel like you’ve finally made it to Narnia.

With snow cascading from the gold gilded wardrobe and frosty accents, the magical land of C.S Lewis suddenly doesn’t seem so far away. Munch on some Turkish delight while you wait at the lamppost for trusty Mr. Tumnus to appear, or stay cosy in bed with Aslan for protection from the White Queen.

If you want to help the Pevensie children to win the battle, check out our sheepskin rug and etched stag wallpaper to create a Narnia of your own.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar inspired bedroom

From chocolate cake to cherry pie, strawberries to salami – the very hungry caterpillar eats everything in his path on his quest to become a beautiful butterfly.

Since food is the main theme of the book, we wanted to make this room a sensory delight which the hungry caterpillar himself would enjoy. Full of colourful accents and accessories, you’ll find a delectable assortment of plush characters adorning every corner of the room, as well as scenes from the book sprawled on the walls.

If this colourful utopia suits your tastes, and you want to embark on a metamorphosis for your own room, check out our bookends, rainbow painting and cloud shaped rug.
