Last spring we looked at ten predominantly white nurseries - all which incorporated color smartly, if sparsely. And here's another to add to that grouping.
Can a mostly white nursery feel too stark and cold for a baby? It sure can, but Christopher Stevens, who designed this room, made some important additions to warm the place up while still leaving it open and light.
For example, although the floor is light, the texture of the rug is thick and comforting. The use of wicker and caning in the laundry basket and the chair keep the vibe home, yet still clean lined. Color is used sparingly, but when it is used, it has great purpose. The colorful prints on the wall pull your eye right away, the colorful blinds have a busy pattern that draws your eye up and the colorful toys are exactly where they need to be.

There is just enough color to warm up the place and the contrast make it very nice in a baby's point of view too! I love the carpet, I want the same!
I actually love it! Makes me wish we had hardwoods in the nursery!
where is the lamp from?
I'm dying to know where the lamp is from too! Anybody know?
neeeeeeed that lamp! ...anyone?
The rug, lamp, and shade make this room fab! Just love how effortless it feels but you can still imagine toys everywhere and happy kid in the middle. I'd like to know where the rug is from?
Me too, I'd like to know where the rug come from?
This rug is just perfect! Where is it from?
Thanks everyone for your comments - suprised this pic is on here! The rug was from Pottery Barn (exotic I know - but as soon as the baby is a toddler this rug is going away). The lamp is from Oly Studio. Oh and the print is a Josef Frank pattern from Svenkst Tenn. I'd picked up a small pillow of it on a trip to Sweden in 2000 and finally got to get it out of my system and use it here. More of my work at www.christopherstevens.net
