before & after: phoebe’s grey nursery

Before we go into 2015, I wanted to share one of the children’s rooms I designed this year: Phoebe’s grey nursery. Having worked on her big brother’s room previously, it was great to be back and create a little haven for his new baby sister.

We needed to do quite a lot of work to get the room up to scratch before we could start decorating – you can see progress photos and read more about this here.

The inspiration for Phoebe’s nursery was a pretty baby blanket made with Liberty fabric from Sture & Folke. With an eye on the colour scheme for the rest of the house we chose a soft grey for the walls and woodwork, adding pretty bunny wallpaper behind the cot. The grey furniture has a vague fifties feel to it – which connects with other pieces in the house in this style.

More importantly, Phoebe’s parents love the nursery too – in their words it’s now the best room in the house!

  3. Hi Ursula,

    How did you get the cloud attached to the wallpaper? We have wallpaper in the nursery and recently put shelves up but they will have to stay while that wallpaper is there.

    Cheers!
