I saw this little boy's room on Black Eiffel, and I think it's the perfect inspiration for a nursery. Favorite elements: Graphic rug, paint colors, bedding, mobile, window treatment. Pretty much everything.
Boys are fun. I'd love to design a room around one of these:
My obsession with Design Within Reach continues. I got their holiday catalog in the mail last week, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many new kid appropriate items they had added. For more DWR fun, check out an earlier post.
Check out klt works for their cool mobiles, letterpress prints, t-shirts, and stuffed animals. KLT stands for Kristin Loffer Theiss, and this is the nursery she created for her son:
I've been a fan of Joanna Goddard's blog A Cup of Jo for a long time. Now that she has a little boy of her own, it's nice to see her spend some time on design for kids. Here are some shots of her son's nursery. Favorite elements: Hand-painted window shade, sailboat mobile, and the DIY dresser (the red paint and baby blue handles are inspired).
I'm interested in designing a nursery that won't need a drastic makeover in a year or two. Jenny Lyons' beautiful nursery (love!) transitioned easily into a child's room with minimal changes. Focusing on elements that don't necessarily scream "baby" can save time and money in the long run. 1. Baby's room shot by Melanie Acevedo for Domino Magazine. (Miss you, Domino!) Favorite elements: Unexpected color on the ceiling, the dark accent wall, the sophisticated dresser, and an abstract mobile that becomes a piece of art for an older child.
For more photos of Jenny Lyons' impeccable home, check out Habitually Chic. I'm enjoying gathering ideas for the nursery. My home and design aesthetic are decidedly modern, and I want a baby's room that flows with the rest of the living spaces. I love how this couple created a nursery (found here) that fits perfectly with the rest of their super stylish modern pad. My version might be a bit less stark, but I'm loving the neutral color palette that lets all the colorful baby items (toys, blankets, books) pop. It's a space that works for boy or girl and that will still be appropriate for a toddler or older child. Check out the rest of the home tour. I know I'm ready to move into that house right now!
Favorite elements: The incredible mobile, the textured rug, and, even though it's been done over and over, I'm still not tired of chalkboard paint. |
