Bold Graphic Nursery
I created a simple linear design for my son's room because I read that babies respond to distinct structured graphic patterns. (Our son Brixton really seemed to respond to the bright colors and pattern.) I chose the colors based on the view outside of my bedroom window when I was pregnant. They are grass green, sky blue, royal blue, black and white. I painted the square grid on the wall, and then installed the painted black lattice pieces over the top to frame each color square. I mimicked the square shape in the art and on the ties of the bedding that I made. The closet doors were originally mirrored. I flipped them around and adhered Masonite to the backs of the doors and spray painted the Masonite with blackboard paint. Our visitors liked to draw on them when they came to meet Brixton, and he loved to draw on the chalkboards when he grew older.
