The days of neutral nurseries are over! Well, at least for this client. We were contacted to create a Virtual Nursery Design for a client here in California who wanted a bolder and more traditional nursery. During our design meeting, she told us right off the bat that she wanted a sweet feminine wallpaper and some type of paneling or molding. She wasn’t super keen on baby pink so we suggested a deeper mauve instead. From there, we ran with the design and came up with the gorgeous concept!
Floral Wallpaper | Vintage Gold Crib | Mauve Pink Fluted Side Table | Petal Flush Mount Chandelier | Floral Wall Hooks | Floral Wall Art 1 | Floral Wall Art 2 | Floral Wall Art 3 | Neutral Blackout Curtains | Oversized Plush Giraffe | Floral Throw Pillow | Neutral Hamper with Lid | Blue Floral Crib Sheet
It took a while to find the perfect wallpaper because we wanted one with a delicate floral that had tones of both mauve and slate blue. We eventually doing the perfect one, and the white background helps to keep the nursery light and bright. The client wanted to do paneling around the entire room, but the budget just didn’t allow for that. So instead, we suggested chair rail and crown molding around the room with paint on the lower section to mimic a full paneling look.
This room has two windows, but since there is so much mauve on the walls and doors, we wanted to make sure that the space didn’t feel too dark. We kept the rest of the design mostly neutral. We anchored the room with a large neutral rug with a medallion pattern—the traditional design not only works with the aesthetic, but the pattern will also help hide stains.
Traditional Floral Wallpaper | Slate Blue Dresser | Ivory Glider | Boucle Storage Ottoman | Small White Bookcase | Gold Side Table | Neutral Medallion Rug | Crystal Flower Mirror | Gold Dresser Lamp | Faux Sheepskin Accent Rug | Petal Flush Mount
For the nursery furniture, we didn’t want to just do white. We wanted to bring in more depth and interest, so we chose an antique gold crib and a stunning slate blue dresser. That dresser ended up being our favorite part of the whole design!
The rest of the details help to balance the room like the textured boucle storage ottoman, faux sheepskin accent rug and the linen texture blackout drapery. There are more gold touches as well to bring it all together. We just love how this nursery design came out!
