Nursery Design Inspiration

Nursery Design Inspiration

Ariel Okin’s home nursery served as a huge inspiration for me. I love how she combined family heirlooms with current baby books and toys.

Choosing a Color Palette:

Designing our baby girl’s nursery has been such a fun experience for me. I wanted this small yet special space to feel well-loved and carefully curated, as, after all, I anticipate we will be spending a lot of quality time in here for the foreseeable future!

First and foremost, I wanted to select a soft, feminine palette. Because this is not our forever home, I refrained from wallpapering the room with the intention that most likely the room won’t remain a girl’s nursery/bedroom forever. However, I found an adorable blush pink peel-and-stick wallpaper made by Magnolia Home that I instantly knew had to adorn the room.

Picking Investment Pieces:

My mom instilled in me that large pieces of furniture should be investment pieces & not to settle on temporary filler pieces. I found a beautiful Thomasville Faux Bamboo dresser on Chairish that I have refurbished (don’t worry, I’ll showcase the before and after in an upcoming post!), and I chose a glider chair that we intend on using both for years to come. Items like a high-performance rug are essential, but not worth splurging on with the undeniable messes to occur.

Loving the traditional touches in this nursery designed by Georgia-based interior designer, Clary Bosbyshell.

The beautiful window treatment in this pink nursery designed by Amy Berry for Gray Malin served as major inspiration for our custom drapery.

Loving this sweet chinoiserie-inspired space designed by Paloma Contreras.

I cannot wait to reveal our nursery, but in the meantime, these inspiration images & products are all that I’ll reveal on what inspired our sweet space!

Baby Basics:

What We Are Reading:

  • This book & this book have both been so helpful with planning for our first baby & easing the anxiety of what to expect!

What We Are Eating:

  • We are all about easy, breezy meals in our house at the moment. This recipe is not only healthy, but it’s filling and great to freeze!

What We Are Watching:

  • I’m loving this show based on three strangers who are fascinated by a true-crime podcast and believe that a murderer lives in their apartment building.
