Designing nurseries and kid’s spaces is a luxury. I feel incredibly lucky that I get to do interior design for my career, something that I love and that brings me joy. What brings me even greater joy, however, is the ability to help others. Sometimes it’s as small as...
When designing a nursery, it’s important to make use of all four walls as design features. Each wall needs to be incorporated into the overall design in order to create balance and flow. But there is also a fifth wall—the ceiling! I’ve done nurseries in the past that...
In case you haven’t heard, wall murals are slowly becoming a popular choice instead of traditional style wallpaper. What’s the difference? Wall murals are an overall design meant to cover an entire wall, rather than the repeating patterns of wallpaper. I love wall...
I still remember the first time I placed one of those 5′ tall giraffes in a nursery—you know the one! Those extra large stuffed animals have such a fun and playful quality to them, not to mention kids love them! Because they are so prominent, they can actually be used...
A few months back, you may have seen my post featuring an all-white nursery e-design reveal over on Project Nursery. Lucky for me, my e-design customer was actually located in Redondo Beach, which is not too far from Orange County, so I was able to have the nursery...
I’ve been designing nurseries for about ten years now, and I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go. Most nursery trends blow up, stick around for a little while and then fizzle out eventually (as is the nature of trends). However, there is one trend that has been...
It seems like e-designs have become very popular in nursery design lately as technology is allowing interior designers to work across the country remotely. I’ve been getting more and more requests for nursery e-designs, and I just love how it allows me to create a...
Including a vintage piece or two in a nursery design can add character and charm. The vintage market is bustling right now, especially for Mid-Century Modern pieces. I’ll use a vintage piece every now and then in a design, and it’s always a fun process. I...
About 2 years ago, I started getting emails from friends, family and colleagues asking why I didn’t tell them I was secretly working on designing George and Amal Clooney’s nursery. I was so baffled by this because I had nothing to do with their nursery,...
I’ve been a nursery designer for over 10 years now, and I always aspire to find nursery furniture for my clients that is not only beautiful, but also has great function, quality, and provides a good value. That means I do a heck of a lot of research and shopping...
A few weeks ago on Instagram, I shared an image of a nursery design I’ve been working on for a client in Los Angeles. When I first met with her, she knew she wanted some safari elements in the room, possibly in a wallpaper design. Safari nurseries have been a...
Back when I started Little Crown Interiors, one of my very first clients was living in a traditional home in Beverly Hills but loved modern design. I worked with her to come up with a compromise for her son’s room. Then a few years later, she moved into a very modern...
Choosing artwork is often one of the hardest parts of any nursery design. There are endless options available all over the internet, creating instant overwhelm. While it’s wonderful that there are so many different types of artwork out there now, it can be a...
[The following is a piece I wrote for Project Nursery] Sometimes when I start working with a new client, they show me a favorite piece or sentimental item that they love and want to use as their nursery inspiration. They have the inspiration item, but don’t know...
It’s been a crazy few months for e-designs! I was contacted by a homeowner who needed three girl’s bedroom e-designs for her three daughters. They had just bought a brand new home and needed to design each girl’s room from scratch. The first was for her 8...
It might seem easy to design a nursery without a theme, but more often than not, my clients end up with some sort of theme. Even if it’s loose or abstract, it helps them understand what to look for and how to shop. Sometimes themes appear even when you didn’t intend...
