I wanted Ezekiel’s nursery to be colorful and fun without any real theme. I always loved patterns, such as stripes and chevron, so I started there. In order for the room to be colorful, but not too overwhelming, we painted the walls grey and had the carpets and crib grey as well. Then we added touches of our favorite colors – green, teal, orange, and yellow – in fun patterns.
I worked really diligently on this nursery because I wanted to create a space for my son that is colorful, enjoyable and relaxing to be in, and that would foster his sensory development and creativity. I also wanted it to be able to transition easily to toddler and childhood, and to not start out too babyish. I guess that’s a pretty tall order, but I am pleased with how it came out. We tried to keep the budget very small, and most of the furniture was either given to us or repurposed from some other part of the house.
