Le Petit Bijou

Description

I wanted our nursery to have three elements: color, texture, & pattern. A room that felt SPECIAL! Something to reflect our personal taste, but still suitable for a baby. After deciding on paint and wallpaper, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work!

We love the lavender hues and how they compliment the espresso furniture. The extra "pops" of rich color & artwork keep it age-appropriate for our girl.

Fun, eclectic, modern, vintage - all rolled into one!

Design Inspiration

I was looking for the right wallpaper to "speak" to me. After deciding on this purple damask by York, everything else came together piece by piece. It was important to create a space that was appropriate for our little girl but also complimented the rest of our home. We love color and anything unique!

Decorating Style

Color, pattern, eclectic. I'm also CRAZY for accessories!

I usually start with one or two pieces I really love and build from there. In this case, I started with a wallpaper and built the room around it.

Advice

Look for pattern, pattern, pattern and accessorize! If you want a rich look like this, stick with darker furniture and use plenty of lamps for warm lighting. Do not be afraid to mix many different colors together (just keep one or two the main focus). Shop EVERYWHERE. Use old & new. Trust your instincts. Be patient and don't settle for anything less than "you!"
