Mauve Floral Nursery Design with Wall Paneling

I absolutely love when a client is open to using a unique color palette for their nursery. I was contacted to create a Virtual Nursery Design for a client who wanted a bolder and more traditional nursery. During our design meeting, she told me right off the bat that she wanted a sweet feminine wallpaper and some type of paneling or molding. She wasn’t super keen on baby pink so we went with a deeper mauve instead for a more sophisticated look. From there, we ran with the design and came up with the gorgeous concept.

Let’s dig in to the details! The client wanted a nursery that was fresh and soft with lots of traditional leaning details. She also wanted to panel the whole room, but when we started talking about the budget and the complexity of that, she decided instead to install a chair rail and then paint below it. That way, the room has a paneled look without the cost and headache of installing paneling around the whole nursery.

This room has two windows, but since there is so much mauve on the walls and doors, we wanted to make sure that the space didn’t feel too dark. We kept the rest of the design mostly neutral. We anchored the room with a large neutral rug with a medallion pattern—the traditional design not only works with the aesthetic, but the pattern will also help hide stains.

When we work with clients that are local to Southern California, we will often go and photograph the project. But with Virtual Designs, that’s not possible. So the next best thing is to get them rendered by a 3D artist! These are the images from that nursery that are as close to real photography as we can get with virtual clients. Either way, it’s always so fun to see how a nursery turns out!

We talked for a bit about the color of the faux-paneling, and she definitely wanted it to be pink, but not baby pink. She loved a more mauve pink and so we chose a soft mauve for that detailing. The decision to also paint the doors and crown molding makes a huge difference in the room and makes the whole thing feel pulled together.

To break up the mauve, we opted for a delicate mauve floral wallpaper with a white background. We also chose to keep the ceiling white so the room didn’t start to feel overwhelming. Next, we had a little fun choosing the nursery furniture! Instead of going with pieces that all matched, we chose a vintage inspired gold crib and a deep slate blue dresser. The slate blue brings in an unexpected pop of color and contrast that gives the nursery a richer feel. The ivory glider is neutral, which means they can reuse it in a future nursery design as well.

To give the room even more of a traditional feel, we chose a gorgeous medallion pattern rug in neutral tones. Rugs with a pattern are great for nurseries since they will help to hide stains. The round gold side table brings in a little touch of glam. We finished off the glider corner with a storage ottoman, which is a must-have for a nursery. See our favorite storage ottomans here!

In the image above, you can really see how the gold, white and blue furniture all work together. The mauve floral wallpaper has a touch of slate blue in it as well, which ties in the dresser. We love how this mauve floral nursery design turned out!
