Eclectic

Our popular Gold Dust Crib Collection pops on the baby crib that features an antiqued finish.  This white and gold baby bedding features a gold stripe crib sheet, crib skirt accented with tassels and optional gold and white crib rail cover.  One of our top selling crib bedding sets, the Gold Dust Collection is extremely versatile and can blend easily with a variety of nursery styles.

The white ship lap wall is the perfect backdrop and adds farmhouse flair.  The ladder in the corner is a convenient spot for holding baby blankets and adds a rustic touch.  Greenery is an easy way to add color and bring nature inside.  The sweet leaf rings and and garland give the room a boho vibe.

An antique white dresser, featuring gold drawer pulls, adds romantic charm and was a flea market find.  Subtle gold accents can be seen throughout the room including the wall mirror, crib, floating shelves and baby bedding.

Using the top of a dresser in the nursery as a changing station is a clever idea.  It eliminates the need for a separate changing table and saves space in the room.

Wood plank floors provide a rustic feel and add to the vintage ambiance of the room.  A tribal area rug from Rugs USA adds a soft play spot for Lonnie Renee.  The touch of pink in the rug coordinates with the blush pink curtains from Wayfair and cozy pom pom blanket.

A white rocker anchors a special spot for reading, feedings and cuddling.  The angel painting on the wall is in memory of Rachel’s mom who passed away of cancer in 2018.  Such a sweet meaningful and personal touch to the room.

An ottoman pouf from Target is the perfect spot for relaxing tired feet.

Mixing new and old can create a one-of-a-kind room for a baby girl!  Shopping for unique treasures at thrift shops and antique stores can be fun and inspirational.  Look for vintage furniture pieces, rustic shelving, second-hand books and artwork.  Pages from classic books from years ago are fun to frame and hang on the walls.

We chose this project because we were expecting our first ever child. We found out we were having a girl so we decided to step out the box a bit with accent color. The design on the wall was widely used on Pintrest. It was a clean look that we liked. So instead of the olive green that we always saw online, we played around with pink. We ended up with a pastel pink and couldn’t be more happier. Advice I’d give to fellow readers, pick colors and paint them on the wall and look at them every day during the day, night, light on, light off. You’ll be happier in the end. Also, measure measure measure! It’s true what say, always make sure your furniture is the right size for the room. Have fun!

This is not your typical rainbow wall mural! It’s a reinvented rainbow! I have been working on a rainbow themed room for my client’s 2 year old toddler girl. We started with a blank space. From the beginning, we knew we were going to do an accent wall. When we first started, my client wanted to add decals to the wall. Simple, and easy, but not very impactful. Plus, her daughter would grow out of it after a few years. After many discussions, I somehow convinced her to go a bit bolder (or maybe she decided on her own?!). The reinvented rainbow it the focal of the room but there are so many other elements to the room that she can grow into 
I upcycled an old Ikea table and chairs from her older siblings. I painted scallops in the same rainbow palette. The made a craft corner that houses her art supplies and her artwork too.
I also painted an ombré watermelon dresser which is another Ikea hack. It was a plain white dresser but with the knobs it adds a whimsical touch!
A reading nook and shelves are also essential to help kids develop a love for reading.
this is a beautiful room that she can grow into for many years!

I wanted to create something bright and colorful for my daughters room.  I found a mural on Pinterest that inspired me for the rest of the room.  I painted the mural on my daughter’s wall and used the same paint colors in the rest of her room.  I refinished an old bed and found the perfect sunshine yellow dresser at Savers.  My husband created an amazing reading loft for her above her door.  We put a king size mattress up there and it is a hot spot for reading and sleepovers with her friends.  It is hard not to smile when you walk into this room!

Knowing we were having a boy, I wanted a room that is cosy, practical and could easily be transformed into something less ‘baby-ish’ as our son grows. Other words on my design ‘wish list’ were: neutral, simple and timeless – the latter particularly playing on my mind, as I realised the initial baby phase lasts only a heartbeat.
As we had just moved back to our home after a sabbatical (we lived abroad for a year), we didn’t have a huge budget to play with, which meant I had to get creative.  All my choices were carefully considered, based on items longevity, sustainability and keeping to the budget – without compromising on the all important fun and design aspect. There is a number of items I made myself (garlands and painted scalloped wall with black chalkboard paint). 
I have written a full blog post about it, which can be found here: https://www.roomcocktail.com/post/how-i-created-a-sustainable-nursery-without-breaking-the-bank
 

I dreamed of having a daughter. I dreamed of all the tiny little girly things and special mommy daughter moments we would share. I dreamed of designing her nursery and then getting to know her and designing her first big girl room.
This is Charleigh’s room. It is perfectly her, a mix of girly, wild, natural, and whimsical. Charleigh is not a dainty little toddler, she’s a wild flower. She’s all over the place-climbing, running, jumping-but she just may be doing all of these things in a tutu. As you can see from her room, she is an eclectic mix of many things as is her happy boho space with lots of storage, hangout spots, and the ability to climb on and off of her custom modified daybed.
 
 

Robert’s nursery was the first room we completed in our new house. My sister-in-law hand painted the accent wall and I painted the dresser in the same color blue. The shelves are filled with sentimental pieces, like my childhood teddy bear, a framed Hermès coloring book that was a wedding gift from a friend, and Robert’s favorite book “Mommy in my Pocket,” written by his grandma. The gallery wall is a collection of pictures and frames from different places that I’ve collected over the year, including Pop Art prints of our two dogs Moose and Bear. There’s a lot going on in this room but somehow I think it all works!
*Please note the room was styled for these photos – the plant is not normally within reach of the crib.

Imagine laying in the pool, looking up at the stars. No worries, just allowing your imagination to run wild. That is what I think of when I look at our nursery. I wanted a space that was fun and colorful, but also relaxing for our baby boy. I incorporated stars as an ode to our son’s name, Luca, which means bringer of light. The teal Clarence wallpaper also helps tie in the bathroom which has a bit of an ocean theme. I hope this room with age gracefully as he grows.

I was first inspired when I saw the Sandie Mural wallpaper from Anewall. It looked like sort of an abstract sunset to me and I love the muted blush, peach and yellow tones. My mom (who passed away when I was young) loved sunsets and they’ve always reminded me of her and made me feel close to her, so that felt right too. I also wanted to sprinkle in some rainbows since our sweet girl is our triple rainbow baby, and I thought that would go well with this vibe. I then got a crazy idea to put the wallpaper on the ceiling instead of on a wall. I fell in love with the Fela Tassel Chandelier from Anthropologie to pull in the boho vibes and the rest of the nursery centered around the ceiling as the focal point. I already had the blush pink dresser that I refinished a few years ago (painted Sherwin Williams White Dogwood) so I decided to paint the wall opposite the dresser (that the Jenny Lind crib would be on) that same blush pink. I already had the grey rocker (Amazon) from my first baby as well. I then pulled in more boho vibes with accent pieces – dried floral wreaths from @modsugardesign on Etsy, mirror from Anthropologie, curtains from Nordstrom, rug from Rugs.com and bookshelves from Amazon. The beautiful clay wall hanging was handmade by my friend @century_clay and was the first item I got for my baby girl.
Installing the peel and stick wallpaper on the ceiling was a little tricker than putting it on a wall, because gravity is working against you instead of with you. You definitely need a second person to help hold it as you put it up. It took my husband and I about 3 hours when I was 2 weeks postpartum, so it’s still not a huge project. I have done several installations of this wallpaper on walls previously though.
Tips for decorating on a budget: I purchased the Anthropologie items during 30-40% off sales. I got the crib and dresser second-hand, and purchased more affordable accent pieces. I generally choose 1 or 2 focal items (in this case the wallpaper on the ceiling and the chandelier) that I splurge a little on and then save on the other supporting pieces.
I’m so in love with how the nursery turned out! I love staring up at the ceiling as I’m sitting in the rocker feeding her. It brings a smile to my face every time I’m in there, and I hope it will for my daughter as well.

My wife and I were engaged at Joshua Tree National Park under the stars so we have a soft spot for the desert. We knew we wanted to bring this feeling of happy into the room. We wanted the room to also feel calm, peaceful, and decluttered, only requiring the necessary furniture. We chose wood tones to make the space feel warm and painted a darker accent wall to make the white crib pop while keeping the other walls light and airy to make the room feel bigger. We wanted to incorporate some Montessori themes in the room by adding a pull-up bar with the mirror and special mobile. We hope this room can grow with our daughter as she does (but not too fast!).

I was inspired by Anewall Bombora wallpaper mural. Living in San Diego, I thought it would be fun to create an ocean/beach-themed nursery. When we first installed the wallpaper, we didn’t know our baby’s gender yet. Once we found out we were having a girl, I decided it would be fun to add blush accents to the room.

Pregnancy was very tough for me and this project gave me so much peace to complete. I wanted a space that felt calming and feminine without using to many traditional colors. I have love for vintage, so I spent many days roaming vintage thrift shops to find small touches to add to the room. The shoes on the shelf are my husbands from when he was a baby! I hope you love Lennon’s little oasis as much as I do.

As soon as I found out that we were having a girl I knew I wanted to design a nursery that was feminine yet incorporated natural elements and had a tropical feel. My love of tropical plants inspired the Monstera wall mural which set the theme for the room and I choose whites, neutrals, and blush pinks for the remainder of the decor to keep things bright and clean looking.
I gathered inspiration for the design and decor from both Pinterest and the Project Nursery instagram page and had so much fun bringing my vision to life. I can’t wait to spend time bonding with our new baby girl in this space!

My goal was to keep the nursery as calm and neutral as I could, since the rest of our house is bold and colorful. I knew I wanted blue to be the main color, and fell in love with the watercolor moon crib sheet I found. I initially wanted a wallpaper accent wall, but came across the space decals and decided to spread them throughout the room. The room is constantly evolving as baby grows.

This is a nursery nook as it is shared with the master bedroom. Even still, I wanted to make sure the baby had it’s own space which was a cute as possible while still fitting the entire master bedroom vibe.
I used removable animal print decals on the wall so when the baby moves out of this space, the parents can simply remove them to have their adult space back. Because this room was going to be shared with adults, I chose a generally neutral pallet with a pop of green/turquoise color to support my safari theme.
The rug from Ruggable really completes the space. It’s bold pattern activates the room and provides a whimsy yet sophisticated design to the space.

Our favorite DIY project yet!

Bonnie’s nursery is half-thrifted, half-new. I didn’t want to have “pink” everywhere just because she was a girl, and was also very against having a “theme”. I wanted something she could easily grow with, and items that could be used again if we have a boy in the future. Items are a mix of finds from op-shops, facebook marketplace, as well as new (but still inexpensive). I took my time finding each of the pieces for her room, and this meant that I loved each part of her room, rather than just buying whatever was available at the time.

I am a leopard print ADDICT so I just had to do a leopard print accent wall. But I was so worried about the room turning out tacky so thats where I stopped with the leopard print. Everything else I kept very simple and neutral in blush, white and gold. With all the girliness fun of unicorns, rainbows and boho vibes. Was worried it wouldn’t all go together and there was too much going on but I absolutely love how it turned out and wish it was my room!

I wanted to create a nursery that was cozy and original, and that had a “highland” feel to it with lots of wood and warmth :). I stayed away from any themed room that was purchased as a whole. Each item of my nursery I found independently and unrelated to each other. It was a very long process for me to be honest! I can really get obsessed with decor haha! :) I created my color palette and from there I started seeking and custom-making magical things that could reflect that warm adventurer emotion of the mountain life: a woodland subject without being too literal in regards to the figures used. It is centered around the fox (I really inspired everything on the fox basket), nevertheless there is basically only one toy that is literally a fox. I always loved seamless patterns, so the wall decals have that sense of hand-drawn, same with the linens. Many things were created on Etsy with my own color palette (mobile, wall decor, macrame, planters, etc). I also wanted to stay away from the typical light baby blues or greens, so I incorporated contrast and vividness. I also added tribal, southwestern and boho textures and patterns through the stool, the rug, etc.
This was all created for my new baby, Daan. He seems very happy in this environment and interested about what is around him. Every day he discovers something new! A plant, a bear, a sign, a book. Life should be like that: humbly curious and eager to learn about what surrounds us! :) I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you Project Nursery for guiding me through your Instagram posts, inspirations and amazing taste!

As a professional commercial interior designer, I love mixing different textures and styles to create my own masterpiece. Anytime I get the opportunity to do residential projects, I get excited! For my little girl, I wanted to design something neutrally colored that she could grow into. The sage green accent wall added a touch of color to a predominantly neutral nursery. The various textures and patterns balanced out the overall aesthetic. One of the things I loved about my daughter’s nursery is that so much of it was repurposed or sewn by my mother.
