Instagram-Inspired Monochrome Toddler Room
Thank you for taking a moment to check out my sons Instagram-Inspired Monochrome Toddler room!
I previously updated this bare room into my sons “Gentleman’s Quarters” themed nursery. From there, I knew I wanted something different, fun, and busy for my very no-attention-span two year old. He was getting so busy and there were a few breakables and untouchables in his Gentleman’s Quarters nursery that I knew I would have to baby proof.
Awhile ago, I started to take pictures of my son sleeping and posted them on Instagram using the hashtag #GentSleeps. When I was thinking of the theme for this new room, I knew I had to incorporate this into the design. This is what I decided to base the whole room off of including the color scheme: monochrome since the images were in black and white. Plus its so SO easy to decorate in monochrome and it was a trend I could feel myself swooning over.
The centerpiece of this room is his #GentSleeps “mural” of sorts, on one of the walls. Each letter on this wall has small pictures printed from Chatbooks that I glued onto large letters. I created a blog post that went into detail about how I created this wall hanging. It is more than just a decor piece; it is sentimental to me because of those tiny little pictures capturing his first couple years of life.
Another aspect of this room is that I wanted to purchase and collaborate with #ShopSmall Instagram shops as much as possible. I wanted to embrace the relationships from the makers I befriended on Instagram and show some of the creativity off all the while blending into my theme. It was just another aspect of the “Instagram-Inspired” part of the room that I loved.
