We wanted to create a fun nursery for our son. I wanted it to be bright and cheery. I did not want to follow a theme, but more colors. I wanted the colors to be something he could keep for a long time. I thought the stripes on one wall would help the room not look so much like a box and they are stimulating for a baby. He lays on his changing pad and coos at them everyday!!
Olivia loves the zoo so I teamed up with my friend and designer Erica Praschan (of Erica Praschan Interior Design) to create a beautiful party for her second birthday.
Neutral animal theme with splashes of pink, blue and green, not overly girly, calming and relaxing
This is my daughter’s pink and gray elephant nursery in our downtown Chicago condo.
When I found out I was having a girl, I knew I didn’t want a classic pink room. I knew if she was going to be anything like me, she would want some “boy” colors in the mix. I decided on the color scheme first: sea green walls, white furniture, and pops of pink.
A chic nursery full of textures and patterns for our sweet girl.
Ella’s nursery is cheerful and bright. Aqua accents pair beautifully with the pink, orange and yellow citrus colors. Elephants abound. It is a room that makes you smile!
I wanted the nursery to be bright and cheery without going so cliche baby. It’s a mix of reworked pieces we already had (it’s amazing what a coat of paint and a new fabric can do) and 9 months to let my ideas come together and finding the perfect additions!
Mark’s playful nursery
Green and Navy pattern room
We had so much fun decorating the nursery for Bretton and are so happy with the result. It took about 7 months to get it all done but it was well worth the wait. There were a lot of DIY projects and those are really what makes the room even more special!
I wanted to create a room that would be comforting and soothing as a nursery, but also a modern room that Ellie could grow into and have fun transforming. I mixed bold patterns (chevrons, stripes, ikat) and color with natural elements (birch) to provide some balance. Elephants and owls perk up the nursery and keep it fun and whimsical.Before we even knew the gender, we started with the gray walls and then striped the ceiling in a beige/taupe. I always knew yellow would be the other accent color, but when we found out we were having a girl, I added in plum for some girliness! We re-purposed the birch poles that we used to create our wedding chuppah and transformed them into the frame for the chalkboard wall. The birch material and theme is also carried through in the mirror and wall decal. I wanted the wall ledges to mimic a gallery and I love that I can constantly transform the look by switching out the art, books and photos as Ellie grows.The changing table/dresser was a labor of love. I saw a “before and after” post on Design Sponge, and I knew that I wanted to recreate this look for the changing table in the nursery. We found the piece on Craig’s List and a friend helped create the chevron pattern. It came out exactly like the inspiration photo!
This nursery was designed for our son Owen. I am very opposed to spending a ton of money on a baby’s room, however, I’m also very opposed to boring nurseries as well. I call it “nursery in a bag” look. I hate the matchy matchy themed rooms you can get at any baby store. Therefore, we met in the middle and were able to come up with a very fun, bright, and budget friendly nursery.
My daughter’s “not-too-girly” nursery.
A bright and playful nursery for my baby boy Max with pops of color and patterns.
While on bed rest for 8 weeks, I had the joy of designing a special room for my little guy. I am by no means a designer, so this was my first crack and a complete room re-do and I loved every second of it. I chose the bright colors because I wanted Max to have lots of fun things to look at and explore in his room.
My Daughter was turning 4 and I wanted to throw her a circus party that was girlie, beautiful and different. So we called it “Autumn’s Extravaganza”So My business partner and I got busy:):)
Baby boy nursery with an elephant theme
I wanted to create a unique nursery for my baby girl that would grow with her, but still incorporate a bit of whimsy. Rather than choose a theme, my design of this nursery developed organically, as I found various pieces that would work together without appearing too “matchy-matchy.” Working with a variety of shades of gray was a learning experience – who knew there were so many? And finding the perfect punchy coral color might as well be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, I met a lot of helpful people along the way who turned my dreams into reality. Thanks to the other Project Nursery members for sharing their design ideas. Those too served as great sources of inspiration!
I wanted a fun and interactive room for my son. I picked helicopters since my husband is a helicopter pilot and thought that would be a fun jumping off point. I ended up DIYing almost everything in the room based off inspiration I had found. I wanted things that would be fun for him to look and like the paper lanterns above his changing table and the gallery wall of fun prints for him to look at. I had to be creative with storage since I live in a small house and couldn’t use the closet at all, I got a big hutch from my sister in law for free and had my husband paint it for me and that’s where all his clothes are. I picked the colors apple green and light blue/baby blue just because I liked the colors with the black furniture. It was a huge labor of love that I just adore!
