Colour blocking is a fantastic way to zone areas without taking up valuable floor space and we went for it in this gorgeous nursery. The brief was for a contemporary, colourful nursery with Scandi vibes. As we all know Scandinavian design doesn’t always allow for bold colours so we focused on strong clean shapes and Scandinavian design references in the furniture. The client didn’t want the room to be heavily gendered like so many nurseries so opting for a gorgeous deep teal and a stone coloured beige gives the perfect backdrop for layers of other colours to be added as the children grow. The client originally wanted white to be the predominant colour in this room but to add the cosy feel we convinced them to go for a zoned corner. The beige stone colour paint continues up onto the ceiling to create a little colour pocket at one end of the room. This is a nice upgrade on a ‘feature wall’. We love being sent pictures of the children enjoying the space from the client.
