Four-year-old Awa’s room is truly one of a kind with pink from floor to ceiling. A soft fitted carpet covers the floor, and pink walls, curtains and ceiling wrap around the whole room, making it warm and cocooning.
Originally, there were two smaller rooms, but the family took down a wall and turned them into one bigger space – a space Awa now shares with her little sister, Nenneh.
In here, there is room to play and sleep; and for Awa to keep adding her beloved flea market treasures, that she finds every Saturday morning with her mom.
Awa's bed is almost cocoon-like; wrapped in curtains and tucked into the nook. Two large stuffed animals wait by the bed. On the wall hangs a 'Babar a 50 Ans' poster.
A pair of velvet Mary Jane shoes in rose are placed in front of the bed.
All in tones of pink with a dash of red: The fitted carpet and curtains plus a curved curtain valance from Gotain.
Books are stored in the wooden box by the bed for easy reach at night time.
On Saturdays, Awa and her mum goes to the flee market. Instead of the traditional Swedish 'Saturday sweets', Awa gets to choose a little something – a toy, a picture or a piece of clothing.
"It’s such a lovely ritual and a special time for the two of us. Some of those little finds have become part of her room", says Marion, Awa's mum.
A vintage bright blue stool adds contrast to the pink room. On it: Two yellow and a pink cardboard suitcase that are used for storage. Explore these suitcases here for a similar look. The cherry on top is a knitted apple.
The soft Morris teddy has been dressed up with a pink bow, and sits on a vintage chair.
On the desk is a wonderful mix of hama beads, colour pencils, a picnic set, a mushroom piggy bank and a knitted apple.

A wooden tabletop works as a desk along one of the walls. It has been dressed with pink striped fabric underneath, which adds softness and allows for storage underneath.
Seen on the table: A pink piggy bank shaped as a mushroom, a picnic set and a red, knitted apple.
Cute velvet baby shoes for Awa's little sister Nenneh. These shoes are handmade from Italian brand Vibi Venezia - and in pink, of course.
