The ultimate children's design resource

Gender Neutral Nursery and Playroom

A Project For: Avery Taylor & new baby boy
Age: 2 years old & newborn
Location: Kenmore, Washington
Description:
We are expecting baby no. 2, and wanted the baby's room to also function as a secondary play zone for both kids.
Design Inspiration:
Light, bright, airy, comfortable, casual, colorful, and most of all- fun.
Decorating Style:
I love all things color, geometric, pattern, and glitter for kids. I also like the look of new and old things together.
Project Details:
Momeni Lil' Mo Lil Mo Whimsy Animal Ivory Kids Rug
Owl Lamp - West Elm
Ektorp couch, Expedit bookcases & cubbies, chandelier - IKEA
Shoal Creek Matte Double Dresser - Overstock
Curtains - Pier 1
KidKraft Nantucket White table & chairs
Little Tikes Country Play Kitchen
Anywhere Chair - Pottery Barn Kids
Pink Bunny Pillow - Milo & Gabby
ABC Name Prints - Colorbutton.Etsy.com
Schoenhut Baby Grand Piano
Fabric boxes - Waverly
Kids Plate and Bowl - Sara and Abraham
Step 2 Kids Slide - Toys R Us
Advice:
The key for me was to combine things that were more affordable with some smaller things that were pricier to achieve the look I was going for. For example, the couch and cubby dressers come from IKEA, and the owl lamp was purchased from West Elm. The rug was a little more expensive, but I made the glitter animal canvas prints on the wall myself.

Cute room, but the giant slide would annoy me to death.

Agreed, Alicia! The slide was a new Christmas gift for our 2yo, and is a “thing of the moment”, to be put outside soon. ; )

I like that it’s a multi-functional space. I also like those hemp (?) storage boxes and those little wooden chair and table in pastel colors.

This is a great room. I really love all the colors!

I would also love to know what paint color you used?
