Today we’re talking all about nurseries! I have saved so much inspiration over the years, as these sweet little spaces always make me smile. So many memories are made in those first few months, and having a special space to soak it all in really is a dream. Here’s what I’ve learned from studying the pros, and after designing nurseries for my own little ones.
Try A Tonal Look
One designer trick I’ve learned over the years is to choose one color when you’re dressing up a space, from crib skirts to wallpaper. In a nursery, blues, pinks, green or neutrals work really well—and these photos are proof.
Play with Wallpaper
A nursery is a great place to incorporate whimsical wallpaper. Florals and stripes are classic choices, but you can always go with something a little more bold and keep the rest of the space simple. Pair your wallpaper with well-constructed window treatments and your little one’s space will strike the right balance between polished and playful.
Frame Murals and Panels
If want the look of wallpaper without the commitment, consider framing a pair of panels or a mural. Paint the walls a complementary color so make it feel cohesive. I like how this option allows the room to easily grow with your child.
Mix in Natural Materials
Whether its a stack of wicker baskets, an antique dresser or bamboo blinds, I like mixing natural materials into a space to help ground it. These materials help add warmth and dimension, especially if you’re drenching a room in color otherwise.
Make A Cozy Seating Area
You’ll probably spend quite a bit of time in this room, so make sure there’s a space designed for those late-night snuggles. I’ve found the winning combination is a glider, ottoman, side table and light. If you have space, a daybed is a great option, too.
