The magical four poster bed serves as a safe space
A truly magical bedroom transformation with a little help from Jali. As an interior designer and mother to a child with special needs, Rabiya Woodiwiss understands how important design and functionality is.
A little while ago Rabiya set out to create a unique and safe space for Youssef, her own autistic son, without compromising style. Get ready to explore a magical Aladdin-themed bedroom filled with enchanting details.
Firstly, Rabiya feels it’s high time to put the ‘fun back into fun-ctionality’ by creating beautiful, fun, and functional spaces for children with disabilities, with careful consideration of each child’s unique needs. She told us:
Youssef is non-verbal; however, he loves humming the Aladdin soundtrack tune ‘A Whole New World’. Since Youssef is not able to travel to Disneyworld, I brought Aladdin to him in his very own bedroom.
Youssef requires a safe space bed so Rabiya designed an Aladdin’s Palace four poster, with an in-genie-ous flying carpet on the ceiling. She also provided many sensory aspects in his room to accommodate his needs.
A Bespoke Jali Radiator Cover with Star Patterned Grille
Rabiya’s interior design company, Destiny Interiors is based in Nuneaton in Warwickshire. Rabiya came across Jali while researching radiator covers on Google. She was delighted to see the bespoke range of beautiful radiator cover designs, along with a made-to-measure service and DIY painting option. Which was perfect for her project.
She chose to include the star design grille for the radiator cover to feature in this Aladdin-themed room. Moreover, we agree with Rabiya—the bespoke radiator cover looks enchanting! Additionally, she reports that it’s ‘a quality product, perfectly tailored and a great safety feature’ for her son.
Having planned, designed and executed the project single-handedly, Rabiya was adding the finishing touches just two months later. Rabiya said she easily fitted the radiator cover because of the clear, precise instructions and the fact that no cutting was needed.. More time for all the wonderful little details!
At Jali, we think the result is fun, spectacular, and truly majestic. We have no doubt that Youssef will love his new bedroom transformation. Giving children a safe, fun space is a beautiful thing, and we’re proud to be part of it. Well done Rabiya!
