The design story
A room for little discoveries
For this gender-neutral nursery, I paired a storybook woodland mural with muted sage, natural oak, ivory, and terracotta. The palette feels calm, while the animals and subtle twinkle lights tucked among the trees invite a child to look closer.
I planned the room around the moments a mother and baby share each day. The generous chair sits near the crib for feeding and reading, with a side table close at hand. The changing dresser keeps daily essentials together, and the open play area gives the baby room to explore. Natural wood and simple furnishings balance the playful details, creating a room that can grow with the child.
