“It’s a Girl!” Nursery Bedroom by Barbara Elza Hirsch

Barbara Elza Hirsch of Elza B. Design created a little girl's nursery in the corner bedroom of the Junior League of Boston's 2017 Designer Show House. She was inspired to create a whimsical yet refined design for the location of the home that offers a quiet and inviting space. Hirsch, a mother of two boys, relished the great opportunity to design a girl's room.

Lilacs and citron color set the mood and are toned down by whites and pops of navy. Hirsch incorporates florals, geometrics, solids and textures along with lots of pillows scattererd throughout. Contrast is the key. Interesting and multigenerational fabrics and furniture downplay cuteness overload and create a soothing yet sophisticated color scheme that can be enjoyed for years to come!

Dowel Furniture's Royale Wing Chair and Casablanca Ottoman from the Bois et Couleur collection designed by Hirsch, act as a focal point while dressed in a zesty yellow feather pattern. These pieces are inviting seating for both parents and child.

The plush Merino wool rug grounds the room and creates a luxuriously soft ground for the child, and the oval crib adds some sensuous lines to the room's angles.

The leaf patterned grasscloth wallpaper offers whimsy and brings the eye up while gauzy window treatments juxtaposed with the grape and lilac colored roman shades create a layered, cozy space.

We can't forget the mini walk-in closet that holds its own peppy design with geometric patterned wall paper and built-in shelves and drawers. A girls' dream!
