Till then, I'll continue stalking my prey. Here are some nurseries that really speak to me. Click on the photo to view the source.
I adore the color scheme here. I've been thinking about doing green and brown with a splash of lavender. The crib in the middle of the room is an interesting take.
But what about a sophisticated take in a palette of neutrals? This room could definitely last longer than just a few years. A note on the Eames rockers: I've seen a lot of ladies do this in the nursery, and as much as I love the modern design, I just don't get it. Doesn't seem comfortable. Am I wrong?
Or do I want to do something with more color? The orange really pops like this. And you simply must click on the photo to see how the alphabet frames came to life.
Even more orange, but as a subtle accent this time. Very peaceful room.
Fiesta for the eyes! It's a little louder than my usual style, but I am really drawn to all the bright colors mixed together in a way that looks totally put together somehow..
But wait ... blue walls. Me likey. And grabby hands for that owl pillow, orange lamp and birdie mobile.
Still loving these blue walls, in dual tone this time. Yellow looks nice here, too.
This is inspiring to me because our soon-to-be nursery has a lot of shelving already, and I love the use of the shelves for soft things like teddy bears and bedding. We do live in earthquake country, after all.
The gray crib and armoire are tres chic. Love the wall decals, too.
Back to my original color scheme: rich browns, greens.
Love this minimalistic approach to the nursery. The fabric wall hangings are fun, too!
To sum it up, I'm torn! I thought at first that I was 100 percent attracted to an espresso crib, but I noticed that I'm mostly drawn to rooms with white or gray cribs. And apparently I'm a sucker for tree wall decals (I already have one in my living room, so this isn't too much of a surprise).
Gray/white/neutral with pop of color?
Brown/green/lavender?
Bold colors throughout?
Too many decisions, I tell you. I'll keep you updated when I finally decide to pounce.
im still planning a wedding as a single gal lol so I haven't even thought of a nursery. but what neat ideas! I think I would want a good 'ol rocker. Somthing I would feel comfortable to stay in for as long as I needed to get the little thing to sleep.
ReplyDeleteMy son is 3 months old, and I'm still working on his nursery, so don't feel bad about those ladies on the forums.
ReplyDeleteAre these pics from a nursery design flickr group? I spent sooo long looking through that group.
As for which color scheme you should choose, I would look at the tones in the rest of your house. Most likely your nursery is going to end up matching the rest of your decor a little, so see what you already have!
I'm so excited for you guys! Life has been crazy and I haven't been around blog world much lately, so I didn't even know you were expecting. Congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteI like no. 2, 5, 6 and 7 the most!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you get to make a nursery of your own!!
