As soon as I learned that our twins were both boys, I knew I wanted to create a shark-themed nursery for them. With cheeky artwork and “shark-tooth” chevron patterns, it was easy to convey a theme without being overkill. I’m a minimalist, so naturally I didn’t want an eclectic, whimsical feel. Instead, I chose a very classic design using trendy art, patterns, and furniture.
This room was a lot of fun to create! It was all about creating a unified color scheme with lots of textures and ‘found’ things for a mismatched organic feel yet cohesive. Mint, coral and gold touches give it a soft feminine element while vintage a rustic pieces bring lots of character.
This particular nursery design project was a gift from a former client to her sister, expecting twins. Twin nurseries are always double to fun, but to be able to design one for a combination of twins, boy and girl is just heavenly! Mom-to-Be loves soft vintage fabrics and muted, earthy colors. We quickly decided upon the antique white iron cribs and a beautiful french farmhouse crib bedding set which we custom designed with blue gingham trim for the boy’s crib and lavender gingham trim for the girl’s crib. The room was extremely small, so the nursery glider had to be small, but extremely comfortable. The brown toile nursery glider coordinated beautifully with our french nursery theme. We selected a smaller changing table which fit perfectly under the window. A sheepskin nursery rug added the perfect contrast between the cribs and the existing beige carpeting to really anchor the crib area, which was our focal point. I painted a whimsical tree silhouette mural on the two walls by the cribs and hung our custom designed monogram wall plaques to sweetly mark each child’s personal space in the nursery.
I wanted to create a more modern, clean, and sensory-happy nursery for my boy/girl twins!
Boy & Girl Twins Nursery
Unique and fun space for twin 2 1/2 year old girls.
We intend to keep the boys in the same room for the remainder of the time we live in our townhouse which will be at least 4 to 5 more years so I really wanted the perfect nursery that wasn’t too babyish so the boys could easily transition in it once they reach the toddler stage. Also, I didn’t want to spend a fortune in the process so between bargain hunting and “Do -It-Yourself” ideas I came up with – this is what I created ; -)
Whimsical, playful and happy are just a few of the words that describe this gender-neutral shared space nursery. The fun aqua colored walls delicately complement the coordinating red and navy bedding and accents. The crisp, clean, white furniture perfectly finishes this imaginative space.
This is a shared nursery for twin boy and girl with white furniture, pink and blue sheets, multicolored rug and wall art, and brown accents.
twin boys’ nursery!
This nursey was custom designed by Sweet Lullaby in NJ. The inspiration of the room was to creat clean soft lines with lavender and to work around the chair and ottoman to be used in the room. We found a great bedding set to pull in all the colors and had beautiful hand painted letters made to match the linens!
We are expecting twins girls in April, and wanted to create a very serene and feminine space for them. I wanted a neutral room that could feel peaceful despite the inevitable chaos that comes with caring for infant twins, but also with enough pops of color and fun touches to make it visually stimulating for the girls.
I wanted a happy, fun and neutral room for our soon-to-be born twins. The bright orange color on the feature wall makes me smile every time I walk into the room. Dad and grandpa painted the room a few months ago, and the rest of the nursery came together slowly since then. All the furniture is neutral-black, white or grey, and other than the cribs, can be used in other rooms in our house once the twins are older. The biggest splurge was the chair. I opted not to go for a rocker/glider, so that we can use it in our basement family room later. Also, the chair is big and deep enough for me to doze in since there was no room for a day bed in this small room.
I wanted something bright, retro, comfortable and unique… not something that looked straight out of Babies ‘R’ Us. And I wanted it to be a room that the girls could grow into. Aside from the cribs, I can see everything else staying in the room for while… it’s not “babyish”.
