Design help..

I suck at design and am hoping for some input. We are doing our nursery pale lemon, white blinds, we have been generously given a boori walnut cot from a friend.

I was really wanting white furniture but cannot justify spending money on a cot if we have been given an amazing one.

Do you think it's possible to have a dark cot with white drawers/ shelving cube or would it look totally mismatched? I thought a way to do it would be to get two toned drawers that included the walnut and white but can't find any in australia

IMO, I wouldn't worry about it. So long as your baby is loved and well taken care of, who really cares what the color of the nursery furniture looks like? I don't mean to come off snarky, there are just much more important things to me.

Our crib is cherry and we are going to get a white dresser today. Both are amazing deals. My neice has a dark crib and her dresser/changing table is yellow. I think you can make it flow. In the grand scheme of things PP is right about there being more important things, but I understand it being important to you. It sounds beautiful

Absolutely, you can pull the different colors and tones together with other accessories and decor, like a wall decal or wall art, a curtain valence or accent pillow on a rocking chair. I think that that color wood will look beautiful contrasted with the pale lemon and white!

I've seen a lot of nurseries where the furniture doesn't match in color and it kinda gives off a shabby chic vibe that I like. I think it would be fine if you include white and wood colors in other items in the room like shelves maybe and picture frames.

Here are a couple of pictures of rooms with mix matched furniture that I think work good

I love the very dark wood with white furniture! Of course you can mix. To reiterate a thread earlier....... You do not need to be pinterest perfect I am a freak about matching though so I also understand the concern.

I'm an interior designer and to be honest I hate hate hate matching sets of things- I never would buy a "set" of anything for a client and I always pick different pieces of furniture that compliment each other. I'm pretty sure I speak for 95% of designer out there your nursery sounds lovely- trust yourself and make it your own space.

Walnut and white are perfect
Throw in more lemon
Put spotlight art around the walnut piece and tie it all together. Make it the focal point.

I prefer a mix! I might add a few touches to integrate the darker cot (a basket or two in a similar tone, for example), but I think it sounds really nice!
