This 1930s apartment in Stockholm was owned by the same family for almost 100 years. Technically, this is not just a children’s room, but it’s a great inspiration for a master bedroom that doubles as a nursery. The terracotta canopy adds a warm color tone, and the other corner is fitted with shelves and hooks for baby clothes.
