Color Blocking your Baby Nursery

Color Blocking your Nursery

"Color blocking" is a design concept using multiple solid colors together. We have seen or heard the term most often used to refer to clothing, but it works just as well when decorating a room. In fact, the more fabric used in the room the stronger your color blocking statement will be.

Follow the simple steps below to create your "color-blocked" nursery.

• Start by choosing one fabric print. This print will act as your inspiration.
• Next choose coordinating solid colors.
• The less you use the print, the bolder your color blocking will feel. Use the print one or more times, then fill-in the rest of your fabric spaces with the colors you've chosen.
• Feel really daring, use the print for inspiration only, then fill the whole room with 3-4 solids inspired by the print. Pull everything together by framing a piece of the inspiration fabric to hang on the wall.

Decorating Your Nursery

Choosing Fabrics for your Room

I get asked all the time, "How do I put together fabrics when decorating a nursery?"

Starting with a fabric collection narrows your choices and makes decorating your

nursery easy.

A fabric collection is an

assortment of fabrics that share similarities in color, and design. The collection will usually contain solids

and small, medium, and large scale prints all supporting a common theme. Most people are happiest decorating the nursery in a style

compatible with the rest of their home. Whether your style is modern, traditional, shabby chic, country, or

eclectic, you can find a fabric collection you will love.

You can use the following tips when deciding how to put the

various fabrics together.

• Once you’ve chosen the fabric collection, choose 2-3 of your

  favorite prints in differing scales and design types. So, you may choose a large floral, a medium

  stripe and a small abstract.

• Next choose

  2-3 coordinating solids; all together you should have 4-5 fabrics in your mini collection.

Now it's time to decide which fabric goes where. Here are some of the tricks I use when placing prints next to each other.

• Choose no more than 4 prints and a total of 5 fabrics when you add in the solids.
• Place prints of differing scale, differing design, or differing color next to each other.
• Repeat the use of prints around the nursery to create a coherent look.

For example...

• Place a large scale floral next to a small floral
• Place a large floral next to a large scale stripe
• Place the same print in 2 different colors adjacent to each other
