The model Marie Nasemann lives with her husband and their two children in a house in Berlin. From time to time, she offers private glimpses and shows how her home is decorated. A photo of her children’s room is now causing a stir. What’s behind it?
Marie Nasemann posted a recent photo of the children’s room she set up for her son and daughter on Instagram. Followers commented and wondered if it was a suitable design for children. Opinions in the comments range from “great” to “terrible.”
Marie Nasemann’s Children’s Room Causes a Stir
At first glance, you don’t see much–a simply furnished room. Two beds, curtains above them, a dresser, a wardrobe, and a climbing wall. Everything is kept in a lovely vintage charm. Additionally, the muted colors of the walls, carpet, or curtains meet bold color accents on the beds and the changing table.
Marie Nasemann writes about the pictures that she and her husband wanted to create a children’s room that “provides calm” and becomes a “cozy place to rest, cuddle, sleep, and dream.” The room should not appear cluttered and should leave enough free space. However, Marie Nasemann’s Instagram followers are divided.

How Did Her Followers React?
One comment reads, for example: “I also find it super uncomfortable. It comes across as totally cold, almost threatening. Very unpleasant atmosphere. I wouldn’t even want to sleep there as an adult…?”
Another follower has very similar views. “It seems gloomy and impersonal. Like a hospital or home. The chair between the beds completes the impression. Ms. Nasemann calls herself an artist. Goodness gracious, the woman suffers from delusions of grandeur.” A far more dramatic comparison than children’s homes is described by another fan: “Sick, like in a bad horror movie.”
Not All Fans Criticize
But not all of Marie Nasemann’s followers are so critical of the children’s room design–there are also quite positive comments. One fan says: “Beautiful, Marie! Not Ikea for once. When children play with the toys, it surely doesn’t look like this. But it doesn’t come across well in pictures–maybe you could show the followers a picture with toys?”
Another commentator is very taken with the room’s design: “The room exudes a lot of calm, and that’s what children need in our world today, which is plastered with advertising as soon as they leave the door.”
And another positive comment rounds it all off. “I absolutely like it. There are far too many overloaded children’s rooms with incredibly unnecessary stuff. I also don’t find it uncomfortable at all. The climbing wall is great. It’s tidy for the photo, of course. The chaos will come on its own.”
myHOMEBOOK editor Franka Kruse-Gering says:
I am a mother of a son myself and find the room very sterile and darkly furnished. I also don’t think much of overloaded trendy children’s rooms, where one designer piece follows the next. However, playfulness and colorful accents should belong in a children’s room. To me, Marie Nasemann’s children’s room looks more like an old-fashioned hotel room.
