We work with a lot of virtual nursery design clients and oftentimes end up using a crib from one brand and a glider from another, but sometimes a brand comes along that has it all—the perfect wood crib, a wide dresser with lots of storage and a comfortable glider with...
One thing I’ve noticed this year in nursery design trends is that people are leaning into more traditional styles. But I’m not talking Granny traditional, more like elevated traditional with sophisticated and sometimes modern touches. Oh, and Parisian...
This year in particular, I’ve seen some real game-changing baby products that I want to share with you all! These are all items that you can add to your nursery design checklist or your baby registry, and they are seriously helpful. Being a new parent is...
Sometimes when I walk into a client’s home for the first time, I get to see the nursery design in its completed form. It’s one of the best feelings to see our work finally translated in person and being actually used! It’s rare that I walk into a...
Does this nursery look familiar? We posted about the Virtual Design reveal for this same nursery a few weeks ago, which showed the renderings that were included in the design package. When we work with clients that are local to Southern California, we will often go...
After years of neutral nurseries, our clients have started dipping their toes into more pattern and color. We recently created a Virtual Nursery Design for a client who didn’t want to dip in her toes—she wanted to jump right in! She wanted maximalism, lots of...
The days of neutral nurseries are over! Well, at least for this client. We were contacted to create a Virtual Nursery Design for a client here in California who wanted a bolder and more traditional nursery. During our design meeting, she told us right off the bat that...
Designing a nursery is one of the most exciting parts of being an expecting parent. The nursery is a space for you and your baby that will hopefully be relaxing, functional and, of course, safe. When you have your heart set on a color scheme, one of the easiest ways...
No two Virtual Nursery Designs are created equal! This client had us design her nursery without actually having a room for everything. She was searching for a home and wanted to get the design part done in advance so she could start ordering right away once they found...
Nursery window treatments are one of the trickiest aspects of the design process. There are so many options and so many potential safety issues. And of course, they need to function. When we use drapery in a nursery design, most clients don’t know exactly what...
As a nursery designer, my job often leaks out from the nursery into other rooms. After all, the nursery is so closely related to other aspects of bringing a baby home, not just a pretty space. We talk to our clients about baby monitors, bassinets, where the baby will...
The best feeling in the world is walking into a client’s home for their second project. We get to see the first nursery and how it’s changed, how the baby has grown up. And we get to see the new space for a family expanding yet again. This is the second...
Nursery lighting is one of the most important elements of the space, because after all, you need to be able to see! It is especially important to have flexible lighting options for your nursery design that can fit your individual needs. I love to suggest to my clients...
One thing that’s been so fun to see over the last 15+ years of being a nursery designer is how the trends change and develop over time. There have certainly been some nursery design trends that we all wish never happened (chevron, anyone?), but there’s...
One of the bigger nursery furniture trends to come out of the last few years has been the all-stages crib. Navigating the purchase of a crib can be tricky, especially if it’s your first time. All-stages cribs can be an amazing option for small nurseries or homes...
One of my all time favorite things about being a nursery designer is when we get to come back to design a nursery for a client’s second child. We had a great client here in Orange County, CA, a few years back and designed a neutral coastal nursery for her first...
