How to Bring #2
When creating the perfect space for your little one, don’t underestimate how much time you’ll also be spending in there, around the clock. So what better excuse to make it extra-stylish as well as calm and cosy? In fact, with exciting new arrivals can come the courage to try new things. This could mean using the nursery as the space to explore a new aesthetic entirely, or figuring out how to rework an existing one in. And whichever look you love, from mid-century to Scandi to more besides, there should be plenty of inspiration here to get you started.

Both plants pick up on the citrus and moss greens in the room and complement the natural accents of the wood. In keeping with the mid-century love of big, glossy-leafed plants, the larger one’s leaf shapes are echoed in the smooth, curvilinear form of the chair and stool.
