Orange and Teal Nursery

Description

This nursery is for my son Levi and it was so much fun to plan and decorate this special room for him!

Design Inspiration

My initial inspiration came from a nursery that I saw right here on Project nursery! My favorite part of that nursery was the color theme of teal and orange so I started with the color theme for my nursery. With both my husband and I being veterinarians animals are a large part of our life so going with dog accents seemed fitting. I wanted the colors to be the main theme and the dogs to just be a fun addition so I decided to have all the bedding, curtains, rug, etc. have the orange and teal in bold geometric patterns. I decided to pull in the dog accents as mainly wall art and decorations around the room.

Decorating Style

I wouldn't say I have a decorating style. I like clean designs and bright colors.

Advice

My advice is to not conform to what people "think" a nursery should look like. I went with bold, non-tradition colors and loved the outcome. If there are colors or a theme that you are dying to use than go for it!

[…] Orange and blue is a wonderful color combination because the two colors are opposites on the color wheel. They complement each other, creating a bold look, but you might want to tone down that boldness since your baby will be sleeping here. To do that, you can pick colors like teal that are still vibrant but not as bold when combined with orange as navy and orange would be. If you’re interested in a teal and orange combo, this nursery is a perfect example of how you can decorate a teal and orange nursery. […]
