Sarah 101 {Sophisto-Nursery}

I was excited and looking forward to this week’s Sarah 101 show for two reasons; yes, for the obvious, it was a boy’s room but I also love the blue & orange combination. If you have followed her as I have via her earlier shows she’s always delivered stylish nurseries staying clear of babyish or overly themed decor items… love it! Here’s a look the modern, ultra sophisticated boy’s nursery Sarah showcased last night.

Intrigued? Here are 3 Take A Ways on how you can achieve a sophisticated room that will grow with your child.

1. Add pattern to the ceiling
2. Experiment with complimentary colour palette
3. Go bold with fabrics and consider spraying vintage furniture to make it work for you

A few other things to keep in mind…  Think Double Duty – evaluate furniture selections keeping in mind how they can serve for the immediate need and in the future. Art you can Afford – be creative! Frame $3.00 flashcards (as Sarah did), use pages of a favorite story book or DIY finger painting artwork is always fun. Link the Elements – play with pattern via wallpapers, fabrics and/or paint. Sarah’s attributes mixing fabrics (pattern & scale) as part of her signature style. In this case, she had 11 fabrics in the room - amazing!

Once HGTV updates their website, I’ll update the Sarah 101 button (on the sidebar) with the new video!
