Floral nursery colours: three palettes to make your own
Flowers can be a small part of a room or the detail everything gathers around. Start with a piece you enjoy, then borrow a few of its colours. There is space for existing furniture and the things your child will add in time.
Choose one starting point
A floral print, a curtain or a lampshade can set the direction. Pick one background colour for larger surfaces and one or two accents to repeat in smaller details. If a piece is staying in the room, include its colour from the beginning.
Try paint and fabric samples together beside the furniture. Look at them in daylight and under the room's existing lighting. The palettes below are ideas to explore, not exact paint matches or instructions to replace what you already have.
Three floral palettes
Each combination begins with a different flower design. The shape and spacing of the flowers matter as much as the colours.
| Palette | The actual shade | A way to use the colours |
|---|---|---|
| Sage, ivory and blush | Garden Shade has separate pale flowers with layered petals and blush centres on sage green cotton. | Use ivory on the larger surfaces, repeat sage in a curtain or painted detail and keep blush as a small accent. |
| Cream, dusty pink and warm wood | Rose Shade has layered pink flowers and pale leaves on a cream cotton ground. | Let cream connect the walls and shade, pick up the pink in one textile and keep existing wood visible. |
| Cream, honey and caramel | Retro Blooms has large and small daisy shapes in pale, honey and caramel tones. | Use cream as the base and repeat one warm flower colour in a print or rug. The wood can supply another warm tone. |
Balance flowers with plain surfaces
If the wallpaper has a large floral pattern, try plain curtains and a rug in one of its background colours. If the walls are simple, a flower shade can carry more of the room's pattern. There is no need for the flowers to match petal for petal.
Garden's spaced blooms leave the sage ground visible. Rose Shade adds pale leaves between its pink flowers. Retro Blooms uses different daisy sizes across the drum. Compare those rhythms with the pattern you already have, rather than looking at colour alone.
Measure the shade before choosing the drop
Garden Shade, Rose Shade and Retro Blooms each have a 30 or 35 cm diameter option and a 20 cm shade height. A 35 cm shade is 5 cm wider, while its height stays the same. These are shade dimensions, not the full hanging length.
Compare paper circles of both diameters with the furniture and check a 20 cm side outline too. Then measure the space from the ceiling to the planned bottom of the lamp. Share that measurement with Marta if you need help with the suspension.
Check what your chosen option includes
Garden Shade is available as a shade alone, with a standard pendant cable or with a macramé cable. The standard cable is approximately 70 cm and can be adjusted during installation. The macramé cable is wrapped in cotton rope and has a fixed length; ask Marta to confirm the full hanging drop.
Garden uses an E27 LED bulb, maximum 25 W. The bulb and mounting hardware are not included. An existing pendant fitting needs a compatibility check. Check the particular product and selected option before ordering, even when two designs share the same dimensions.
