A guide to decorating a nursery

Scandi

When you are keeping the babies gender a surprise Scandi is a popular choice, which still allows you to have some fun. Once the baby arrives you can easily dress the room up with some blush, mint or duck egg blue accents.

For curtains there are many natural linen floor to ceiling option like Charles Parsons Capri with blockout lining, or for a more minimalist look a simple blockout thermal roller blind with fascia will make sure your baby has a good sleep.

Modern Monochrome

It is hard to go past black and white as a colour combo. Take a simple white room and add black and grey accessories to create a modern monochrome nursery that will impress. Check out the Sleep Stores classic cot in cool grey for the perfect coloured cot.

Team it up with a simple black and white stripe roman blind in the James Dunlop fabric, Long Beach in the colour Obsidian. Or for a softer look try floor length curtains in the Pegasus fabric, Bubbles in Onyx.
