A MINIMALIST NURSERY

While there are many elements in decorating a nursery, the most important of all is the furniture. It is essential to choose your furniture first before designing the rest of the space.

PASTEL FOR SERENITY

The modern children’s room embodies imaginative design schemes using subtle colour palettes and lots of tonal and textural variations.

Patterned wooden flooring, simple and elegant mouldings on walls, interesting shapes and forms create infinite stimulation in young minds.
