Elegant Nursery Design

I was recently hired by a local couple to design their first baby's nursery.  Their home is full of warm colors and has a very elegant feel, and they would like to carry that through to the nursery.  Obviously I was on board!  Nothing seems sweeter to me than planning a room for a newborn:






So what are some key elements of a "luxurious" nursery?  I think a "wow" light fixture, something furry, an upholstered crib, and perhaps something mirrored are all ideal...




I'm so excited to begin pulling together a design for my client.  With a due date of mid September, we're working with a tight timeline! But I always love a challenge.

What would your dream nursery look like?

  4. I really like the first inspiration picture you put up, but I always thought that nurseries are suppose to be colorful because babies need color stimulation to promote development. Is that right, or am I misinformed?

    1. Hi Irina- I actually believe the opposite. I've been taught that using jarring colors and patterns in the bedroom can cause nervous irritability!

    2. I should say, if a toddler or infant is showing development issues, a sensory environment is helpful, as evidence-based design has shown. But if possible, a separate playroom with textures, colors, noise stimulation, etc might be better rather than in the actual nursery.

  14. Very Glam!!! But would probably only do this for a baby girl, if it was a boy I would probably add more rustic colors or manly touches. Beautiful Concept!
