We moved into our new house in early February. As our bub was 4 weeks old at that time and was sleeping ALL DAY I decided that it was time to start decorating the house. I started with the downstairs toilet, then that got old, so I decided to move onto Emilia's nursery. I knew we were going to have her sleeping in her own room by about 6 months so I wanted to make sure that her room was fully decorated and ready for her. (note: I've realized that preparation is key when you have a baby, like down. to. the. hour.) I downloaded the Pinterest app on my phone whilst waiting for the internet to be set up - I became obsessed with it and started to look for nursery decor inspiration.
1. I love this nursery. The grey walls, the basic white furniture and the bright contrasting patterns. I think this is quite a modern nursery and to be honest, this could be a great girls nursery as well as boys. I really love the hardwood flooring along with the grey rug! Not a fan of the shelving above the cot as I'd be scared that things would fall onto the baby, but it does look very nice!
2. Again, I love grey walls, and I love that this is girly but not in-your-face pink princess room. White furniture has always been a favourite of mine, I believe it looks great in any room of the house. This room is very spacious and I think it'd be a suitable room for a child to grow in. I also love the idea of the armchair instead of your usual wooden feeding chair, it gives the nursery more of a comfy feel.
3. Not really too keen on the colour of this room, probably because it's not really what I think of when I picture a baby's nursery. The big photo frames are beautiful though, I've always loved photo frames with the white space around them as I think they're a lot nicer to look at than your standard frame. In my opinion the white butterfly mobile adds a feminine aspect to this nursery, can't get enough of a nursery with butterflies in it!
4. Colourwise, in my opinion, this is one of the worst nurseries. Maybe if it was for a teenager or an adult it would be great but babies respond to bright colours! Everyone loves a bit of luxury but I believe this would just be boring to a baby. If this is your kind of thing then an upside would be that it could be for both girl and boy as it has very neutral colouring.
We took ideas from the majority of these nurseries, but the one that we based Emilia's on was #2! We loved the grey with the hint of pink which made the nursery suitable for a girl but not too girly. We knew we were going to choose white furniture so the walls and decor had to suit that. Also, Emilia's nursery is laid out a lot like #2, with quite a bit of space for her to play when she starts to sit, crawl and walk. In the next few posts I'll be sharing more home decor aimed at those who have an eye for DIY and those who are on a budget. Hope you enjoyed!
