Description
In designing this Princess Nursery, we wanted to create a sophisticated take on a traditional nursery, a room that would be able to carry her from infancy through childhood. Instead of choosing a theme or going very pink, we selected timeless pieces that will evolve both functionally and aesthetically over time. For example, her parents will read to her on the rocker as a toddler but, as she gets older, it will become her chair to talk on the phone to girlfriends (and boyfriends). We love the classic pattern and color palate of the crib panels, which can be re-purposed as a duvet cover or pillows on her grown-up bed.
Design Inspiration
House of Ruby Interior Design was selected to create the ultimate nursery for a little princess. Pink was the obvious choice to serve as the backdrop for this fairy tale room.

Advice
A few design Gems that I live by:
- Use existing things when possible and add custom elements
- Select furniture pieces that can transition as your child grows
- Poach items from your parents (especially old furniture pieces from your childhood room or nursery)
- Try different furniture layouts, don’t feel as though you have to place furniture against the wall, place it on angle. It’s okay to place furniture in front of a window.
- Have fun thinking like a kid again!
