Owen’s Nursery

Description

It took my husband and I about 4 months to complete this nursery. Everything from handy work to decorations was done by my husband and I. He did more of the handy work, while I did some handy work and all of the decorating. I wanted my son's room to be simple, neutral, and not to much of a "baby's" room, but a room that can be easily changed once he gets older. Therefore, I went with very neutral colors: Navy Blue, Grey, Black, & White.

Design Inspiration

I really liked the chevron prints and safari theme for a nursery, but I didn't want to overwhelm his nursery with animals and stripes; I wanted to incorporate those two ideas together but keep it very minimal as much as possible.

Decorating Style

Simple decorations that ties in with his colors is what I wanted this nursery to be all about.

Advice

My advice is to start with colors that suits you best and work with those colors throughout your project.
