Moroccan Vintage: Nursery Inspirations From Bluebird Kisses

April 17, 2012

When it comes to designing a nursery you’ll love, it’s best to draw inspiration from the things you love. I love to travel and I adore vintage treasures, for example. And there is no reason why these two elements cannot be combined to create the perfect nursery.

This whimsical nursery from One Claire Day is an inspired example of such a room. The colors, the style, it’s all so PERFECT in the very imperfect way that nothing in this room matches. The bright colors and geometric prints bring this beautiful space together and create a visually stimulating, yet calming retreat for parents and baby.

You don’t have to collect nursery pieces from your travels to bring this look home. Visit your local craigslist ads, shop the rug section at IKEA, and take a browse through Etsy to find whimsical pieces for your baby’s room. And if you’re feeling crafty, try refurbishing a few pre-existing household pieces to add an element of spice.

1. The Moroccan Pouf ($396) from The Cross Design
2. The Bird Cage ($134.71) from West Elm
3. The Persisk Hamadan Rug ($599) from IKEA Canada
4. The Cabinet Side Table ($165) from DrabtoFab Vintage on Etsy

Design Advice: Moroccan Inspired Nursery

September 29, 2010

Moroccan inspired patterns and colors have become increasingly popular over the past several months. Vibrant colors and intricate, yet sophisticated, patterns are the cornerstone of Moroccan interior design.

Today’s design advice is a Moroccan nursery inspiration board influenced by geometrical patterns and rustic textures.

1. Bedding: This was the starting point for the design of this nursery. I love the Serena & Lily Nursery Basics crib sheets! Depending on the sex of your baby or your personal preference, you could use one or all of these sheets. From top to bottom: Spring Green Florentine, Aqua/Melon Mosaic, and Grass Trellis; $36.

2. Paint: Ultra Premium Voyage 4006-1B from Valspar.

3. Crib: Ray Crib without panel by Muu; $795. I splurged on the crib. I just couldn’t help myself.

4. Curtains: Linen Sheer White Curtain Panel from Crate & Barrel; $24.95-$49.95.

5. Hamper: Rattan Elephant Hamper in brown; $99.

6. Rug: Wool Rug Spectrum Pewter from Company C; starting at $146.

7. Wall decals: Moroccan Bubble Decals from Etsy seller ByrdieGraphics; $52.

8. Arm chair: angelo:HOME Harlow Arm Chair Yellow and White Floral, $309.

You might be wondering why I didn’t include a changing table or dresser in this mood board. The truth is that I didn’t find one to my liking for this particular room. I would suggest incorporating a dresser that meets your needs and painting it a vibrant green, blue or melon.
