Personalization is the Hottest Trend in Nursery Room Design

When it comes to the current trends for decorating a nursery or children’s room, look no further than the custom touches. Personalization is all the rage. From monograms on anything with room for a letter to baby’s names painted on ceramic plates, piggy banks, and birth plates, incorporating baby’s names or initials into their room is the new ‘it’ thing.

“Of the last five rooms we did, four of them had either a monogram, the baby’s name lettered on the wall or a mixture of both,” said Lisa Pozdol, manager of WiggleWorm children’s store.

One customer was looking for a “classic, little-girl nursery.” Bunnies ended up being the theme the room revolved around. Bunnies now frolic in hand-painted murals, and baby’s name involved in the Lydia Reynolds painting design. The room is soft and feminine with cheerful shades of pink combined with celadon green. A combination of four fabrics includes a Brewster rose toile from which baby bumpers, crib skirt, table skirt, toss pillows and changing pad are made.

But the focal point of the room is baby’s monogram centering the cornice board across the window treatment. A matching monogram covers the night light’s shade.

The photo growth chart is a unique personal touch. Twelve small frames are grouped on linen fabric within a larger frame. Each month, a new photo of their little girl is added into a frame, making a photo record of baby’s first year. Each frame contains a square of the Brewster toile so that it coordinates with the room’s design until it is filled.
