2nd Trimester

Need your opinions (re: nursery furniture)

We are going with a Dr. Seuss theme and plan to have sky blue walls and red striped curtains with a few other colors in the room. (Sorta like this https://tinyurl.com/d4s4pz )

We found a dark colored crib we love but I also want a white bookshelf. Will that look rediculous?  Should I just get a dark bookshelf? What I want to do with the bookshelf is paint each of the backgrounds of the shelves a different color (if that makes any sense). We could just get a white crib but I am really not into that and would prefer to get the cherry crib.

Thoughts on the mismatched furniture? Oh and we are on team green.

  • What does the bedding look like?  Does it have lots of whites in it?  Take a look in my bio...I just have a crib in there (under crib, not nursery - the nursery one is a stock photo), but next to it I have an organizer/very small "dresser"  I'm not sure if it's staying in there or not, I've had it for years...but I don't think it looks bad at all with my crib bedding.

    Good question. We havent picked our bedding out for sure yet but we will probably use a mix of colors. We might buy the Dr. Seuss fitted crib sheet from pottery barn ( https://tinyurl.com/czy8g5 ) as well.

    Yea I have never mismatched stuff before and dont know if I can deal with it either! Maybe we can get the crib in there and just bring something white we have in and think about if for a while. 

    Anyone have any other pictures of mismatched furniture in their nursery?

  • If it were me, I would not get mismatched furniture.  I would get a dark colored bookshelf.

  • Well i personally don't like mismatched furniture; but to each their own! However, you could either get the white bookshelf and paint the back of the shelves how you want and stain the rest to match your crib or get a matching bookshelf and use wall paper, or something along those lines and use that for the colored backgrounds.....just some ideas! GL
  • If you are painting parts of it I think white would be just fine.  I think it would look odd if you had all different wood colors going on but white with colors is different, IMO of course!
  • Maybe we will just stick with all cherry furniture. There is going to be enough color going on in the room that I dont think I really need to make the bookshelf colorful.

    Thank you all for your opinions!
