A Classic View

Today, options for decorating a baby's nursery are endless. One of the most important elements will be for you to define your particular design style and use it as the foundation of your nursery.

If your style is classic....you are more traditional by nature and are drawn to simple themes and soft details.

Here are some suggestions for the key components of a Classic Nursery:

Walls: soft & pastel

Try punch pink from Serena & Lily

Floor Coverings: choose something timeless that will grow with the baby

This frame rug is great for a nursery and a child's room

Crib: a lovely sleigh crib is a traditional choice


The Bratt Decor Chelsea Sleigh Crib is elegant & simple

Tickled Pink with Toile

This nursery is sweet and sophisticated with a feminine feel. Toile can feel formal but the addition of the bright white crib gives it a vintage edge. The use of hand painted frames in a bright color gives the room a more playful component. It all comes together perfectly creating a stylish & chic nursery.

You can re create this look with baby pink toile crib bedding and art work from Doodlefish Kids.
Bratt Decor has designed a stunning white iron baby crib that is ideal for this look. One of my favorite ways to add a bit of extra pizazz to a baby's nursery is to incorporate a custom chandelier. I think every little girl's room needs a little sparkle.


Have fun creating your very own Toile Tale!
