Mum Nicole describes the process and inspiration for little Xavier’s divine nursery:

Originally, we were inspired by a gender neutral colour scheme of yellow and grey. We didn’t really want to limit ourselves to a specific theme, so the decor is just made up of things we liked that we felt worked together well in the space. Our house is very modern with clean lines, so we wanted to carry this through to the nursery but still keep it fun and playful.

Once we found out we were having a boy, we decided to add some blues to the space as well. Overall, the nursery has a very soft, soothing feel with some fun pops of colour. We worked on the room over a span of about four months, adding bits and pieces as we found them and gradually built it up to a fun and relaxing space for our son, Xavier.

  6. Love this Nursery! Particularly love the windows!

    Nicole, can I ask where you got the end fixings for the clothing rod from? We want to do a similar thing having a rod hanging from a floating shelf but don’t seem to be able to find the correct end fixings from Bunnings — they are all fixings to the wall rather than to a surface on top!

  7. Thanks Joyce! :)

    I’m pretty sure we found the fixings in the section where the bathroom fittings / towel rods are. Here is a photo of the exact ones we got (we spray painted ours white):
