Guest Picks: ‘Glamping’ in the Nursery
http://www.decor-ideas.org 05/22/2014 22:26 Decor Ideas
My nursery designs are often inspired by a piece of artwork, and this space is no exception. When I came across the camp-themed print in the first photo, I fell in love with its modern graphic design and fresh blush, navy and orange color palette. All of the pieces in this ideabook fit within the camping theme, and they still feel girly and a little bit glamorous. When creating a themed space, it’s important not to go overboard, so I tempered the rustic elements with clean, modern accessories and a fresh color palette. Find out the details about all of my picks below. — Lauren from A Lovely Lark
Cascadia Campground Print - $60This print inspired the entire space. I love the modern, graphic design; the campy subject matter; and the fresh color palette of blush, navy and orange.
Wool Felt Bunny Head - $69Woodland animals are a must in any camp-themed space. I love that this bunny is soft and sweet, as opposed to something with antlers.
Moon and Star Crib Fitted Sheet - $44This crib bedding is subtle with its soft, starry pattern. You don’t want every element in your space to stand out; some things have to serve supporting roles to keep the theme from getting overwhelming.
Happy Camper Pennant Flag by Strawberry Moth - $24I love this cute, kitschy pennant for a dash of whimsy without going overboard.
Little ‘Hello’ Wall Sign by Say Hello Shop - $7You don’t have to stick with prints when it comes to artwork. Something like this wooden “Hello” cutout would add dimension and visual interest.
2010 Nani Iro Kokka Fuccra Yozora Hotaru Fabric by Little Black Cats - $10I love this fabric by Nani Iro, and it ties in really nicely with the inspiration artwork. It’s girly and inspired by nature, so it works perfectly. I would use it for a window seat cushion, pillows or even a crib skirt.
Instamatic Wooden Toy Camera by Twig Creative - $45I love items that serve dual purposes. This camera would be a great toy as your little one gets bigger, and it looks great as well.
Natural Sheepskin Wool Rug - $99Consider layering rugs to bring additional texture. Sheepskins are a popular choice because of their softness and organic shape.
Magical Thinking Costa Geo Rug, Charcoal - $44This graphic patterned rug has a rustic, campy feel but with a modern twist. Again, you don’t want to go overboard with any one idea or theme.
Sustainable Rustic Modern 4-Drawer Chest by Blake Avenue - $2,175This dresser is another great example of that idea. The wood is very rustic, but the overall design has a clean and modern feel.
Wood Owl Knob by Our Sweet Home Alabama - $5.95If you don’t have the budget for a pricey handmade dresser, a less expensive idea would be to find a modern white dresser and add these adorable rustic owl knobs for a dash of whimsy and personality.
Jenny Lind Crib, White - $210I love the classic Jenny Lind crib. It’s such a chameleon and blends right in with nearly any style of space.
Gold Lumbar Pillow Cover by Sukan - $30Every girl needs a little gold in her life. This golden linen pillow helps give the space that girly, glamorous feeling.
Original Romantic White Gold Foil Print by B is for Bonnie - $20This beautiful gold foil artwork would bring in another bit of gold. And I love the phrase. Camping, childhood and parenting are all about adventure — am I right?
Geometric Planter No. 5 by Karen Kimmel Studios - $160Even kids’ spaces can have a little greenery. This planter would bring in some color, and I like the pairing of the warm wood tone with the more modern silhouette.
Between a Rock Lamp Base, White - $69This lamp is pretty much all modern, from the clean white color to the geometric design. It’s OK to bring in a couple of accessories that swing completely to the opposite end of the design spectrum to mix things up a bit.
Southwest Wool Fiber Wall Art by Soñadora - $62Fiber art is such a huge trend right now. I love the simplicity of this handmade piece. It would definitely be a topic of conversation in a nursery.
Braided Wool Baskets - $46Every kids’ space needs lots of storage. These classic braided wool baskets are perfect for stuffed animals, books or toys.
Plum & Bow Cloud Shelf - $49This fun cloud-shaped shelf is great for holding all of those trinkets that little ones collect.
Ostheimer Fox, Small Running - $12.40This little fox friend would bring in a hit of orange.
