Nautical nursery

Stripe Away

• Combine striped fabrics and wallpaper in a fun way.
• Stick to white, light blue, navy and red to create a look that is uniform and traditionally nautical.

Tip:

• Layer the look by hanging decorative items including stars, fish and boats from hooks.

Ever so Tidy

• Beware of clutter in a nursery
• You may not have the luxury of time to keep things neat and tidy
• Make your life easy by having specific compartments for every item
• Store nappies, bum cream, powders and ear buds in a neat container on top of the changing area
• Use a piece of furniture with drawers or a traditional compactum as a changing station to have all the necessities on hand

Match & Match

• Don't underestimate the power of colour co-ordination.
• Try to do it throughout, with the toys you display, the bedding and the wall art and general decorations.
• You will be amazed at the results!
•  The room will automatically feel like a whole
• Using white furniture as a base means you can easily update or change the look in the future.

Extend the Theme

• Using a little boat in different ways- like painted on canvas and cut out of wood- extends the look and theme of the nursery.
• Wanting to brighten up the bathroom too, buy a packet of stickers and stick it onto the wall, transforming it into a cartoon heaven for any small child. 

It's in the detail...

• Use interesting handles for your cupboards. These handles let the light through for a fresh airy finish
