SHARING SECRETS.......THE D.I.Y. BABY NURSERY

A REALLY GREAT NURSERY.......

YES, YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF! 

Pssst......Here's some straight talk from Baby Decorator. You can create your very own "designer" nursery, if you stick to a few guidelines.  The secret to designing any great room is to choose a theme and follow it up with a design scheme.   
Here's a few hints on how to DIY!


Build themes around what children love like fairytales and toys, tutus for ballerinas and dinosaurs for boys.


When planning, choose just one strong element to make the room looked pulled together.  The one thing that matters is that even if you've borrowed the crib, inherited the glider, found a thrift shop changing table, while you are nesting pull it all together with one unifying element. That can be paint, or one printed fabric used for the bumper, crib skirt, and window treatments. Just choose one decorative element and carry it throughout the nursery. 

A BABY BOY LIVES HERE!

Color is the theme for this nursery, and the scheme chosen was grey and white with accents of "I love you" red. Grey is a neutral color palette for a contemporary nursery, but by no means is it somber because it is highlighted everywhere with what we call valentine red. A neutral color makes a great backdrop for a modern nursery. It can be grey, beige, ivory, sweet pea green, banana yellow. The trick to making it fun and lively is to choose an accent color with zing. 
Cool grey makes a great backdrop for the pizzazz of red pillows, painted birdies on the baseboard, and on small details throughout the nursery. 

A BABY GIRL LIVES HERE!

Having a girl but don't want a "girlie" nursery? We just did a nursery in the palest of beiges shot through with accents of tomato red for a baby girl whose mom wanted a nursery designed with clean lines and a contemporary feel, i.e. no fuss, no muss. But she'd inherited the crib which was a bulky style in a darkened brown wood. What to do to brighten up the space? We made everything around it pale in such fun contrasting beige and red that the somber crib disappeared in the happy mood.

THEMES AND DREAMS OF NURSERIES THAT ARE ANYTHING BUT TRADITIONAL

THE INGENIOUS BABY NURSERY

LUCKY BABY WHO GETS STOKKE® GEAR. IT'S

INNOVATIVE IN DESIGN AND INGENIOUS IN FUNCTION 

If you are having a baby, you should know about Stokke®.  At Baby Decorator where we design baby nurseries, we see every product for the nursery, and have been awestruck by how Stokke thinks outside the box. Before Stokke, cribs were just always rectangular. Then along came this ingenious design group that conceived of new, incredibly sensible ways to interpret traditional nursery furniture. They just lopped the corners off the crib and created a narrow, oval shape that cuddles the baby in a cozy cocoon that is warm and safe. 

Being passionate about fine design, we exalt when it includes a love of innovation. Stokke has come a long way in its innovations in nursery furniture. Understanding the importance of communication between baby, mom, and dad from the first moment they are introduced, Stokke's nursery furniture is designed to make the baby an integral part of the family. The crib is on wheels so that it rolls everywhere to stay close to the family.  

We're in love with the Tripp Trapp® chair in all its brilliant color ways. Baby sits right up there with all the bigger kids and the grownups at the table. It is simply a tower of innovative design where the high chair has never gone before. 

Ingenuity reigns here! With innovative design in mind. the goal is to integrate the baby with the rest of the family, to strengthen the bond between parents and children.  This Tripp Trapp® high chair and Stokke®'s new Xsplory  stroller are love at first sight. The stroller is light weight and incredibly maneuverable. It a one-handed, easily pushable cool strolling machine that will negotiate any corner, doorway, and uphill jaunt with a mere touch of one hand. 

All in all, I'd say this was one smart company doing what they do for babies and children with forethought and love for the growing child. Bravo Stokke!
