- Child's Name: Addison
- Location: California
- Description: The owners of this nursery were looking for a space which was feminine, classical, romantic, and comfortable. We created a timeless space where a family will love reading and playing with their little girl. The color palette is soft with layers of light pink, taupe, cream and gold.
-
Design Inspiration:
The inspiration for the project came from a fabric and bedding set called Angel Toile. The clients loved the soft pink with peach undertones paired with taupe and cream. The fabric set a romantic and timeless tone for the room for all items going forward.
-
Decorating Style:
The decorating style of these clients is romantic and comfortable. They have even chosen to not have a television in their entire home so they spend a lot of time talking, reading and just relaxing together when then come home from work. Their entire home has a very calming feel and we tried to carry this into the nursery.

Favorite Items:
My favorite items in the room are the mirrors, chandelier and rug. All of the items are unique and unexpected in a nursery. I like to incorporate adult furniture and accessory pieces into a child's room because children eventually grow up and it is nice to be able to easily transition pieces into their next room or into another room in the house.
I also love the whitewashed "A" mural above the crib. When designing a room in California I'm always concerned about earthquakes so I try to not hang anything heavy above the crib that could accidentally fall on the baby or be pulled down. So a mural like this was a nice alternative to decorate the space plus it is high enough to fit over a headboard once Addison grows out of her crib.

Advice:
Don't be afraid to go big with a rug and to layer colors. Things do not always need to be matchy/matchy. Also think about doing something special in the closet or dresser like painting it a different color or lining it with wallpaper.
