Personalization is the Hottest Trend in Nursery Room Design

Luxury Nursery — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:44:30 +0000

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.

If No Nursery Theme, Start With Colors

Luxury Nursery — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:21:26 +0000

A theme is a popular way to plan a nursery, but using colors to inspire the design for the room is a practical alternative offering greater flexibility. By choosing the right color palette, letting one’s style and personality come through without adhering to countless thematic-driven elements provides a fun opportunity to plan the room’s decor, nursery furniture, accessories, and other key details.

Working with a favorite color may make it tempting to use just that one hue throughout the décor. This will only create a dull and artificial atmosphere. Far more appealing would be a palette of contrasting colors applied to the various decorative elements. The following examples illustrate just how versatile and creative such color palettes can be as inspiration for a wedding look – whether these use light color contrasts, warm color contrasts, or cool color contrasts. The results are startlingly distinct—both visually and emotionally.

(1) Light Color Contrasts
Base Color: Pink
Contrast: Yellow and Green
Pink is a sweet, feminine color, great for a girl’s nursery room. But it can also be too much of a good thing if you use it throughout the décor may make the room appear overly saccharine. A color palette with pink as the base color can use lemon yellow and lime green accents for contrast—instantly creating a light, cheerful look.

(2) Warm Color Contrasts
Base Color: Red
Contrasting Colors: Burnt Orange and Brown
Red as part of the color palette of a baby’s nursery certainly makes a bold statement for a little boy, but using a palette consisting solely of red shades may be overpowering. Thus, warm, earthy colors such as burnt orange, brown, and a muted shade of gold are recommended as contrasts in a red-based nursery.

(3) Cool Color Contrasts
Base Color: Light Blue
Contrasting Colors: Navy Blue and White
Light blue is a lovely, relaxing color for a nursery. However, if a room’s color palette is based solely on this hue, the setting may appear pale and washed out—not exactly befitting a happy baby. Nursery room decor with light blue as its base can be enlivened with touches of navy blue and white.

While a nursery theme may be an exciting challenge for many, planning a theme in the hope of ensuring a perfect room for baby can be limiting at times. The good news is that, in lieu of a theme, color serves as a wonderful unifying element that can be parlayed as a great source of inspiration for the nursery’s décor. After all, a nursery party is not about staging a theme. It’s about celebrating that once-in-a-lifetime happiness of a beautiful baby.

The Hottest Nursery Trends for 2009

Luxury Nursery — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:25:37 +0000

Nursery furniture continues to undergo a major design transformation from the days of Victorian styled cribs, and the use of traditional design. Today contemporary and modern styled furniture is quickly over taking the nursery design market as more and more parents purchase baby furniture that reflects their own modern style preferences. Now halfway through 2009, we’ve found the trends that expectant parents are finding.

Hot: Convertible Cribs

Not: Standard Cribs

Function and practicality are among the most important considerations for parents when choosing furniture for a nursery. By selecting furniture pieces that can perform double, even triple, duty, the furniture will grow as the baby grows. Convertible cribs are an increasingly popular one-time investment, the high headboards and sturdy design enable conversion from a crib to a toddler bed. This type can be more expensive, but in the long term you will save money not having to buy more furniture when you baby outgrows the crib.

Hot: Two-Toned Color Walls

Not: One Note Walls

The easiest way to add depth and dimension to a room is to make it two-toned in color. Not only will you be able to exercise more colors into the room, but from a design standpoint, it will elongate the walls, lengthen the width add allow the optical illusion of more space. For your baby’s growing development, the extra use of color will help stimulate them in their learning.

Hot: Plush, Swiveling Gliders

Not: Old Wooden Rockers

Nursery glider or rocking chair is one of the most important pieces of furniture that every expectant mother needs to buy for her baby’s nursery, and this generation of gliders are definitely not your grandma’s rocker. An ideal spot to rock baby to sleep, snuggle up with a good book or just relax, you’ll be clocking in the hours long after using it in the nursery, rockers are essential. The new wave of luxurious glider recliner is so inviting that when the children outgrow the nursery it will easily transition into a bedroom or living room.

Hot: Round Cribs

Not: Round Cribs with Canopies

Rounds cribs are another growing trend because of their very posh and extravagant look, leaving the old rectangular look in the past and bring a fresh look to nursery rooms. Most importantly, the absence of sharp corners makes round custom iron cribs safe and ideal for your little one. Rounds cribs are becoming more and more popular with today’s new parents. They can tuck easily into a corner or take center stage in the nursery, so if you’re looking for a little different feel for your baby’s room take a look at round cribs.

Hot: Organized Nursery Closets

Not: Scattered Messes

With the arrival of your new baby, the nursery quickly becomes the most important room in the house. You will want to make sure that the nursery is organized and fully functional, helping to make the transition of a new little one in your home as easy as possible. There are ways to make the most of the space that you have though. Creating adequate storage in the room is important to keeping it organized. Start by organizing the closet. Since baby clothes are much smaller than adult clothes, you can lower the closet rod to be just a few feet from the floor. This will allow more space above the closet rod to install shelving which will give you more storage for other items. Installing a good closet organizer in the closet is another idea for making the most of the space. Shelves, drawers, hanging rods, and closets easily reconfigure into new closet layouts that match each stage in your child’s growth.

Hot: Decor That Matches Home

Not: Cartoonish Looking Decor

Chic, sophisticated nurseries with rich color palettes and espresso brown furniture are taking the place of the once-popular pale pink or baby blue rooms. Parents-to-be, once obsessed with making the space perfect for a baby, are now opting to create a longer-term decor, one that not only blends with the rest of the house but also will be suitable as their newborn grows into toddlerhood and beyond. People want to do more trendy styles, like chocolates and blues, chocolates and pinks. One benefit of this more sophisticated style of decor is that parents don’t have to change the room as their child grows from a baby into a toddler, because stripes and polka dots are as appropriate for a 3-year-old as they are for a baby.

Hot: Organic Mattresses and Bedding

Not: Non-Green Bedding

Organic bedding naturally provide relief from allergies, MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities), skin problems; and may reduce the risk of SIDS. Extensive scientific research and documentation, has long since proven that organic cotton and wool help to alleviate many persistent symptoms and discomforts, without chemical intervention. In 2009, fashion catches up to function, because
sewing organic doesn’t have to be less fashionable.

Hot: Gender Neutral Green

Not: Gender Neutral Yellow

Colors influence how we feel, how we look and what our homes and car say about us. People naturally associate certain colors with special people, special times and places. And, as we all know, color trends like fashion trends tend to repeat themselves. Green has been long considered a good, gender-neutral choice. In the past it was often the same old safe, pastel yellow, but today’s trend is to embrace all shades of green–avocado, mint, and hunter–making for modern rooms that grow along with your child.
