Style and Substance

A quick conversation with power woman, Fortune Aleta Ledesma in her lovely residence

A colourful kids’ room need not take inspiration from popular culture; this shared sleeping space in a vacation home on the Balearic island of Mallorca is full of old-fashioned charm. With its mix of fairy lights, hand-dyed textiles, tactile baskets and vintage treasures, this is the perfect place to create childhood memories worthy of a fairy tale.

A draped overhead canopy creates a sense of romance that imaginative kids are sure to love. Use fairy lights to add atmosphere—conveniently; these will double as night lights for little ones who don’t like their room to be too dark if they happen to wake during the small hours. The star-shaped cushions are sure to hold huge appeal, and it’s easy to have them crafted in a variety of textiles.
