Real Rooms: Polka Dot Jungle

Because this mom loves polka dots, this is a modern take on a traditional girly pink room. And it is all in the details! Just some design ideas and a bright pink nursery to inspire…

Pink Modern Baby Girl Nursery

Child’s Name: Sophia

Age: 16 months

Location: Rego Park, NY

What was your inspiration for the room?

It all started with the polka dot animal wall art. We originally shared a room with Sophia so all she had were these animals hanging behind her crib. When she finally got her own room, these are all we had to start with. I wanted Sophia’s room to be a happy and playful environment. Polka dots and bright colors seemed like the appropriate elements to create my Polka Dot Jungle.

What best describes your decorating style?

I am all over the place! I love muted colors and a clean, contemporary look. But I have a soft spot for bright colors that scream, “Hey, look at me!” I think that my decorating style varies depending on the room I am decorating. I always thought I would design a traditional nursery but the final product could not be more far from it.

What is your favorite item(s) in the room?
My favorite thing about the room is the polka dot border. The look painted on but they just decals! It really adds the finishing touch. It was the last thing I did to the nursery.

    I love this room! I am a sucker for polka dots (and anything pink). Love the dot border and the curtains…

  2. Each dot was applied individually! Not as time consuming once I figured out a ’system’. I really lucked out with those curtains. Bed Bath and Beyond was the first place I looked.

    I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to have a cute nursery. I did get a chance to check out your blog and you have a beautiful family. And that’s what matters!

    Hope you will stop by again :)

    Oh this is FANTASTIC!

    I can not wait to own our own place so that I can do a fab room for my little koala munchkin! At the moment all he has is some fabric stickers on his wall (which came from this little etsy shop in case you are interested- I in no way know the owner but just thought you might like to check it out- http://www.etsy.com/shop/Stickytiki/

    Oh and I know where to come when that time comes to decorate a room for my boy!

    I love love this room, so I ordered those polka dot decals as well. Can you please tell me what ’system’ you figured out is tho?

    Nicole Reply:

    I’m glad you like them!
    I traced a light pencil line (that I easily removed) at the height that I wanted. I spaced the polka dots 3 inches apart from the back end of one to the front end of the next.

    Does that make sense?
