Traditional and Vintage Nursery Design

This chair was my inspiration.  I love this chair made from a Kilim rug fabric.  It is traditional with a fun twist.  Just what I like in a statement piece.

I decided to design a nursery using this chair as a stepping off point.  Stay tuned to see another design using this chair in a sitting room in a more traditional design. This is the style I really enjoy.  A mix of traditional and contemporary.  

I don’t know about you but I am tiring of white.  Don’t get me wrong.  I love white. In fact, it has always been my favorite color!  I know – weird.  Right?!

White is a combination of all colors in light so it isn’t surprising that I love all design styles too.  That’s why I love design.  There are so many different directions to go.

So many of us have furniture that has been passed down to us from our family members and we want to incorporate those pieces but want to have a more up to date look.  White is more difficult to blend with traditional dark wood pieces and still create a muted, understated and mellow environment in a bedroom.

This one fits the bill.  It is a combination of traditional with 70s boho.  Here’s what I came up with… Let me know what you think and comment below.

Happy Shopping!

1.  Passion Flower Kilim Club Chair – Sundance

My inspiration.  Great for a contemporary nursery and move into any room when it is no longer needed in the nursery.

2.  Japanese Textile Design Print on Paper – Perigold

The gold frame pulls in the warm tones in the drapery rod and table and the print brings in the tones from the chair.

3.  Simmons Kids Tivoli Pine Wood Convertible Crib – Amazon (White or Chestnut)

Both the chestnut and white should work with this design.  It also converts to a bed as they grow.

4. Spiral Felt Ball Mobile – Neutral – Etsy MatthewAndMae

I love how this mobile brings in the neutral and muted colors.

5. Authentic Vintage Brick Mold Bookshelf – Farmhouse Fresh

Incorporate tall shelving with this vintage bookshelf or with something like this, which has a similar look but with soft curves to match the desk and chair.

6. Hemp Woven Rug Color: Sage – Sundance

Can’t lose with a neutral rug.

7. Bumblebee End Table – Anthropologie (Love the bee accents!)

The bumble bee accents will be loved by the kids and it brings a contemporary feel to the nursery.

8. Brushed Brass Bernie Series LED Floor Lamp – Lamps Plus

This floor lamps brings a contemporary feel to an otherwise traditional space.

9. A Most Unusual Old Teak Floor Desk with 3 Drawers – Jugs Furniture

I love this idea of a low desk with a vintage vibe.

10. Belgian Linen Curtain, Natural – West Elm

Stay with a soft white curtains

11. Monkey Bookends – Grace Hill Design

Choose décor to accent the colors in the chair and you can’t lose!

12. Antique Brass French Curtain Rod – Target

Hint:  Use a French curtain rod to close that gap on the sides in combination with a black out shade to minimize light during nap times!
