Christopher’s Nursery

Description

We wanted to design a nursery for our second son that was something that could grow with him. We also wanted a calm, neutral space with a burst of color, so we decided on a bold green accent. The artwork and accessories are simple and playful, perfect for a little boy!

Design Inspiration

My first inspiration was the quatrefoil, a design element which I studied during college in  Architecture and Art History classes. We incorporated it into the room with the bedding and the wall decals. My other inspirations were projects from Project Nursery and items on Etsy.

Decorating Style

Modern with clean lines, a burst of color and pattern.
