Remy's Fantastic Floral Nursery
Small Kids, Big Color Entry # 39


thumbs up

Name: Remy
Age: 1.5
Location: Los Angeles, California

Color Inspiration: We scrapped our original plans for Remy's room when we discovered the stunning floral abstract Trove wallpaper. Everything else was designed to keep things simple and complementary to the feature wall.

Give Pilar & Remy a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

Color Inspiration continued: We re-purposed the original drapes, creating a teepee and used left over party decorations as a 3D wall treatment.


Tip For Using Color: The "rules" don't apply in a kids room. Being too cautious about matching colors and textures will get in the way of creating a fun and vibrant space.


Colors Used: Wallpaper - Trove nekkar 004 (pinks)
White walls - Dunn-Edwards tintable white
White drapes - Pottery Barn cotton panles
Yellow rug- Pottery Barn
Pom Poms- Martha Stewart Crafts
Lou Lou Ghost chairs in Rose
La La Love You print - etsy
teepee fabric- Purl Soho

Love the wallpaper!

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I remember there was a UK company that transfered this sort of imagery (there was a wide choice, from flowers to gumballs, and beyond) to basic furniture -- simple chests of drawers mostly. Very fun!
