Before + After: Kids Playroom To Stylish Study Makeover

Well we can’t quite believe it, but today we’re sharing the FINAL room transformation in our One Room Wonders series, in partnership with Surround by Laminex!
For this final project, we’re going out with a bang (if we do say so ourselves). We’ve transformed a simple kids’ playroom into a stylish home office, that’ll last well into the teenage years, and beyond! In fact… it turned out so nicely, we’re thinking this would make a pretty perfect home office for grown-ups, too!
We started with the Surround by Laminex French Stripe 30 profile, which is a contemporary wall panelling with equally spaced battens and grooves, 3cm apart. This striking timber panelling works so well in this space, adding depth and interest behind our built in shelving and desk.
All Surround by Laminex wall panelling comes pre-primed and ready to paint. Here, we selected a dusty blue colour, which keeps the space feeling fun and kid-friendly, but is equally suitable for teens (and colour-loving adults!).
For efficiency, we pre-painted these panels with one coat of paint before installing them, and gave them a second coat with a roller (plus touched up the joins and nail-holes with a brush) after installation.
