A Dark Green Nursery Design With Ceiling Wallpaper

We absolutely love it when a new Virtual Design client says they want to go bold! It’s so much fun for a designer to play with bold color, especially when the client is open to it. We’ve worked with this client before on their first nursery design, which was also very colorful, and they wanted the second nursery design to be equally as modern and exciting.

I’ve been a nursery designer since 2008, and I’ve been saying all along how under-represented green is in nursery design. And I’m talking deep moody greens, not the pastel or mint green that used to be the only option. Well, the times are finally changing. Darker and richer tones of green are finally being seen in nursery furniture and decor, and I couldn’t be happier!

The client knew they wanted green or blue as the main bold color, but after some back and forth and sample renderings, we decided on green. The nursery was large and had plenty of natural light, so putting a bold paint color on the walls worked well. To help break it up and bring in a little more brightness, we brought in some softer neutrals and whites. We used white blackout curtains, an ivory glider recliner, an ivory storage ottoman and a white faux sheepskin rug to balance all the dark green.

With Virtual Designs, we can’t always photograph the project. So the next best thing is to get them rendered by a 3D artist! The following are the images from this nursery that are as close to real photography as we can get with virtual clients!

There are two large windows in this nursery, so the room gets plenty of natural light. To add even more drama, we also choose a cream and gold patterned wallpaper for the ceiling. We then added a geometric patterned rug with neutrals and green for that next-level boldness.

For the furniture, we brought in a few tones to give the room balance. We used a gold metal crib to coordinate with the ceiling wallpaper. Then we chose a light wood rounded dresser for a natural touch, and the glider is off-white to keep the room from feeling heavy. We also added a fun patterned bench in an ochre color for more warmth, and a modern wood side table to coordinate with the light wood dresser.

This nursery has an attached bathroom which has black and white tile, so we decided to include just a hint of black in this nursery so it flows with the bathroom. We used a black half-round mirror over the dresser, a black and white photograph over the crib and a black frame on the artwork by the bathroom door. And of course, the photograph over the crib will be framed with acrylic and very heavily secured.

We finished off the room with white blackout curtains. We didn’t want to do anything heavy here, so we kept the color white so it breaks up the dark green. The linen scalloped chandelier brings in a little more brightness too. There are also some wood wall ledges and a natural woven storage hamper for that warm natural touch.

The little details in this space go a long way, like the textured accent rug for coziness and the ottoman that has hidden storage inside. We absolutely love how this bold nursery design turned out and are so thrilled that the clients came to us a second time for their new baby.
