Outdoor Style in the Nursery

The soothing sounds of nature and the simplicity that it brings are so peacefully decadent that it’s only natural to want to bring them into your new nursery in a way that it’s brought to life for your baby.The design challenge? Doing it without the rawness of pure nature as well as keeping your baby’s room feel cuddly and NOT like your uncle’s “bro” cabin. We thought we’d share 3 ways to do just that.

1. Use What’s Natural

Whether it’s an animal scene that frolics and dances as the main stage or the sheer power of the land itself, letting nature run its course is a wonderful way to bring the outdoors into the nursery. 

Magnificent Mountains

Grand is their magnitude and inspiring in both the shapes they form and the elements in which they withstand, mountains always create a soft spot in our hearts. The OLLI + LIME Snowy Mountain are inspired by the mountains of our home base of Colorado

Trees Root Us
Trees surround us and root us in our family DNA’s bringing those elements of nestling nesting into the nursery provide aesthetically pleasing design that centers a nursery’s foundations. Crib sheets also allow a more subtle nod to a nursery design. This OLLI + LIME design was inspired by nature.

Of course, every nursery really needs a copy of “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. We like this vintage version from Etsy seller The Pink Room

Soft Cuddly Plush Bears
Seriously does it get anymore adorable then fluffy bears that can grace our nursery designs? Surely better stuffed and cuddly or as a nice nursery accent at the same. The hibernation bedding set inspires long lasting sleep while providing modern plush cute-ness to the nursery.

2. Make It Personal

In its most intimate setting, nature is personal and unique. This principle is a great one to also bring to life within the nursery and not only makes your nursery completely customized to your tastes but gives your baby something that is truly their own, right from the beginning. Check out this inspiring customized art from @thetrendytimber
