Nursery inspiration : pastels & wood

Sometimes just one picture is all it takes to give you a whole load of inspiration for decorating a space.

Such as this awesome image styled by Linda Ahman and photographed by Therese Winberg

There are so many awesome ideas for a child’s bedroom, or a little one’s nursery in this image! I love the harlequin wallpaper, the pastel shades, the mulit-coloured set of drawers, the pale wooden toys that complement the pastels, the honeycomb balls and the assortment of jars that you could fill with small toys and colouring crayons.

Just one of these ideas would look lovely in a child’s room but I do love them all together too!

And for good measure, here’s a close-up of that cute wooden elephant sat atop the storage boxes…

Colourful wood characters by Herman Marie

I have fallen head over heels in love with everything in Kim Laurenti’s Etsy shop Herman Marie!

Her products are certainly a simple concept: wooden shapes, painted in bright colours.

But the illustration style is awesome!

These would liven up any child’s bedroom for sure…

And Kim has a second shop too where she keeps her slightly creepier characters employing a more muted colour palette. I don’t think the stuff in I Love Grey Skies would be as suitable for children, but you adults might like it :)

Nursery inspiration : Calvin & Hobbes

As a teenager I loved Calvin & Hobbes. I used to read the books compiling numerous awesome comic strips of the cheeky six-year-old and his pet tiger Hobbes (who appeared stuffed to everybody else, but was very much a real life tiger to Calvin).

I must dig out the books and rediscover those comics really, and if you haven’t ever read any I suggest you give them a go :)

Anyway, the reason I talk of them is because I spotted this delightful mural, over on My Modern Met, featuring Calvin & Hobbes that would be lovely for a little one’s bedroom…

The comics aren’t actually aimed at children but this is the sort of nursery that both Calvin & Hobbes-loving parents and children can get a kick out of… as to children, a young boy having a pet tiger is still a cool concept!

A comic creation

And now, before I sign off, I’ll leave you with a few examples of Bill Watterson’s brilliant creation…
