Out of this World

The tiny tenant of this space-themed toddler's room may just have the coolest digs this side of Pluto! This elaborate design features an entire solar system’s worth of hand-painted planets, moons, asteroids and comets suspended from a stunning, custom-painted ceiling. Beautiful bedding (“All Solar Systems Go” by Land of Nod) brings the ceiling motif back down to earth, providing the perfect place for the little man at the center of this universe to lay back and enjoy an out-of-this-world view.

 

Way Out West

A perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary décor, this Western-inspired nursery incorporates rich, primitive textures with clean lines, warm neutrals and a daring pop of unexpected color. A beautiful yet understated wall mural, reminiscent of an evening ride out on the range, serves as an ideal backdrop. The designer’s favorite touch? A one-of-a kind, custom-made ottoman fashioned using an actual, child-sized saddle that once belonged to this little buckaroo’s mother.

Home on the Range

This rugged, Western retreat is the perfect place for a weary cowboy to rest his little head after a hard day’s play. Wide-paneled, reclaimed barn wood applied to both the walls and ceiling lends an authentic cabin-feel to the design.

“The wood paneling makes it cozy and adds character,” designer Jeanie Claughton explains, “and the classic, era-appropriate accessories, such as the antique saloon sign, proved to be the perfect finishing touch."

Metropolis

Every superhero must have his domain. This toddling crusader spends his nights protecting the city streets while basking in the glow of his own personal Metropolis. The cleverly constructed cityscape, created by artist Anita Roll, features soft back lighting, bringing the silhouette city to life with a flick of a switch.

Swashbuckling adventure calls for any salty sea-pup ready to take on the big blue - even if the treasure chest is looking a little empty. A few clever DIY ideas, like this wall-mounted mast and these inventive “sails” suspended from curtain rods, will put your little buccaneer at the helm of a ship-shape design in no time flat! Simply commandeer the nearest bed and get sailing!

Taking the understated approach, this Star-Wars-inspired nursery is the perfect blend of fun and sophistication, incorporating timeless movie quotes and cool collectibles, such as the matching pair of color-changing light sabers hanging above the crib, into a clean, bright, contemporary design that this little Jedi is sure to love for years to come.
