Colorful Modern Nursery

If you're a fan of Sarah Richardson from HGTV you'll love her modern take on her nursery. She uses her signature bright and bold layers of patterns to create a sophisticated modern nursery.




Go heavy on the main hues, light on the rest. She explains “I like a monochromatic scheme, so this room reads mostly as red and cream; the blues and yellows fade into the background.” While designing this nursery her and her husband did not know if they had a boy or a girl on board.


A great tip that she suggests is using washable slipcovers. The covers on her loveseat and the footstool were both pre-shrunk and are able to be machine washed and dried.


Using both the walnut and white furniture add texture to the room. The beauty of looking at this nursery is she customized some of her own pieces from her furniture collection. 


“I HAD A ‘NO BUNNIES’ RULE,” laughs designer Sarah Richardson, describing the chic yet playful nursery she designed for her new baby. “I wanted there to be colour, energy, vitality and happiness, but not the traditional nursery trappings.”






 

Check out using texture instead of colour with the Jonathan Alder Giraffe Lamp.
