Blush Baby Room

Baby #2 is on her way and as we might actually have our own house to set up a nursery in, I am more than excited about it! When we found out we were having a girl, it was straight to the drawing board to plan out my dream nursery.

I’m always quick to proclaim that I am not a “pink person”, but funnily enough, the colour palette I was drawn to was the subtle blush pink of Dulux Opito Bay. styled with my signature earthy tones of terracotta and olive green to create a beautiful earthy yet balanced palette.

As a winter baby, this one will be sleeping on our A&C Linen cot sheets, which a warm yet super breathable – and I love that the top sheet can double as a wrap! A lambswool blanket will keep her cosy on the chilly nights.

If there’s one thing I learnt from my first-born Austen, it’s that babies don’t spend a lot of time in their room at all. So, when it came to planning furniture, I kept it simple with just a few essentials: a day bed for me to stretch out on for night feeds and a bedside with a light for some low lighting. 

To create a focal point on the wall, I gathered together a bunch of faux foliage and flowers to create a simple and pretty wall hanging which I don’t think will date as she grows.
