Nursery Crush

It’s true. I’m obsessed with neutrals right now. And, I’m not alone. After years of brights dominating the home market, it was only natural to see a shift towards less color. But for many, especially when it comes to designing for baby – color is a natural choice. Color is playful, happy and optimistic – all things we think and feel when planning for a little bundle of joy.

So, you want color – happy, fun, bold color… I say go for it! Here’s a hue that is gender neutral and easily works with other brights or muted tones.

Design Tip: If you’re looking for less color, choose subtle accents that only offer a small dose of bright. I suggest pairing brights with washed out pastels as seen in the plush house pillow above. This vibrant orange & soft blue is a great duo. Bonus: be sure to check out the DIY pom-pom curtain tutorial in the links below. I love it.
