Poppy Red, Coral and Pink Nursery

Description

We wanted a clean aesthetic that flowed with the style of the rest of our home which has an earthy modern feel.  The goal was to develop a calming space with colors and fabrics that would grow along with our little girl.  We kept the walls fairly neutral and used a color palette of poppy red, coral and orchid pink to give the room some personality.

Design Inspiration

When I was a kid, I had a Merimekko comforter.  When I first saw the curtain fabric, it reminded me of that Merimekko print.  I loved the colors in the curtain fabric, so everything grew from there.

Decorating Style

My style tends to be clean and modern, but I also like my spaces to be inviting, relaxing and cozy.

Favorite Items

My favorite thing about the nursery is the fabrics.  I love the combination of colors and prints.

Advice

Painting stripes on a wall is easy if you rent a self-leveling rotary level from your local tool rental.  It shoots a laser all around the room so it's easy to tape off your stripes on all 4 walls.  So much easier than using a hand held level, and way faster too!

We made the custom cornice for the window out of some inexpensive trim from Home Depot.   For about $15 in materials, the window has a polished, finished look.
