Neutral & Elegant Nursery

What can I say about this airy coastal-inspired nursery? It’s soft, elegant, minimal and just so effortlessly breezy. The design all came to life when my client shared a few products she had fallen in love with; including this gorgeous rosette rug and playful bird art print from LD Shoppe. It set the tone for the entire space and I quickly began pulling together muted, natural and textural elements… like an oversized waffle blanket, muslin crib sheet, boucle ottoman and beaded chandelier.
Pattern combinations can bring tons of visual interest to a space. I opted for a more subtle mix for this nursery with a textured dusty pink pillow paired with a golden and cream bird cushion. A bold pinstripe pillow adds depth and contrast against a dainty blue floral pattern and a few pink soft toys add a sweet feminine touch.
What’s a nursery without stellar furniture? This dresser and crib combo from Crate & Kids adds the perfect touch of sophistication with pops of antique brass alongside a gold floor lamp and geometric mobile. Since I love mixing metals we decided to go with a black curtain rod to tie-in some of the bolder elements in the room, as seen in the black metal mirror and framed art print. Finally, to soften things up just a smidge we sourced a wooden side table and I love the warmth it adds while complementing the warm creamy tones in the space.
I absolutely love how this nursery turned out; it feels playful yet mature, minimal yet layered and brings such a deep sense of calm. It’s like skipping through a field of wild flowers on a cool summer’s night! When a space evokes such a clear picture and makes you feel something so real… well that’s the cherry on top.

Contemporary + Minimal Nursery

Our nursery became inspired after we found this wallpaper shortly after finding out we were expecting a little boy! We knew we wanted this to be the accent wall, but we also wanted to add a textured wall, using 1×4 trim. We decided to go with a dark grey for this wall and go with a lighter grey for the other two walls. We went with a simple 3-in-1 white crib, functional for our growing boy. Additionally, we came across this beautiful navy dresser with brass hardware which then inspired us to add gold accents throughout the room. We added the hatch changing table to the top of our dresser. We found a neutral rocking chair, along with some simple white shelving. I then found this simple pouf from crate & barrel which can be used as an ottoman or extra seating.  A rug adds warmth to any room, and we went with a simple design to not take away from the space. Our faux fig leaf tree adds a pop of interest, next to our floor lamp giving additional lighting on those late newborn nights.

Reed’s Starry Retreat

I didn’t set out with any particular “theme” in mind for this room but once I decided to DIY that starry ceiling version of one of my favorite wallpapers, it all came together.  From that one point of inspiration a loose celestial theme evolved – light and peaceful with touches of dark wood to warm things up and loads of different textures.  You can see my original inspiration board for the room here.
