A bit busy lately. We've got words from the contractors that our apartment might be delivered sooner than we expected, which means we have to seriously start thinking about what we're going to put into the place. It is quite overwhelming for us who never done decorate a house from scratch, and now we're confronted with this blank canvas of a space. The floorplan to the left shows Peanut's future nursery layout in the house.
It is 3.1 x 3.8 meter square, with one tall window (approximately 75 x 270cm, which is floor-to-ceiling). It's a decent size room for a growing child. My only disappointment was that it has brown window pane, in place of a more expected white.
As this is practically the only room in the house where I'm free to do whatever I like with it without having to resort to lengthy discussion with the hubby (he let me have the prerogatives for the nursery), it is in this room I spent most of my creative energy. I came to this colour palette for the room (image to the right):
You might think it's a rather harsh colour palette for a nursery, but I really wanted a colour scheme that is bold, girly yet gutsy, and something I would never dare trying with any other room in the house. I'm going to paint 2 walls in the brightest canary yellow, and the other two in white. The room's walls are not very perpendicular, so I thought I could balance this annoying asymmetry by camouflaging them with two tone coloured walls in diagonal opposites. The black will not be dominant at all, I put it along since I have plans of putting up my black-and-white Edward Gorey prints againts one of the yellow walls. As for the fuchsias, I found an old IKEA fabric in the linen cabinet with the colour which I think will look brilliant for the curtain of the room. I'm just hoping that I've got enough to cover the whole window, since it's a pattern IKEA doesn't do anymore, and I can't think of anywhere else I might find a thick cotton fabric with the same colours and pattern.
To give a better idea of how the room would look like, I put up a composite of things I'm going to put into the room (above image):
More to come soon, watch this space. Woohoo, we finally have a real nursery!
