Jenna Dewan's nursery is a masterclass in decorating for children and adults alike – it's 'cozy, mystical and peaceful'
The actress worked with Crate & Kids to design a gorgeous bedroom for her baby girl Rhiannon – it's adorable without looking overly saccharine
The difficult balance of designing a nursery is creating a sweet and childlike space to appeal to a baby but sophisticated enough that it will be enjoyable for an adult to spend time there. Jenna Dewan's new nursery perfectly strikes this balance.
Dewan teamed up with the team at Crate & Kids to bring her dream nursery idea to life. The result is an adorable, baby-pink space with calming wood accents. Pink wallpaper with small white flowers covers the walls, contrasted with a white ceiling, white edging and a black door. Furniture includes an antique-style crib, a cutesey daybed and a row of shelves for storing toys and supplies for the new baby. Though the space is sweet, it never makes the pitfall of becoming too saccharine.
The team at Crate & Barrel was a huge help to Dewan throughout the design process. She tells Homes & Gardens: 'The Crate & Kids Design Desk team was amazing. I wanted a warm, cozy, mystical and peaceful feeling for the nursery, and they brought it all together with details of our dreams! Their team helped pull the color scheme, wallpaper, theme all together in the best ways possible that completely fit the dimensions of the room. I was in total awe and emotional when I saw the final room – I thought it was beyond perfect!'
The success of this space is in the mix of styles the Crate & Kids team has pulled together. Dewan's olive tree in the corner, the black shades and the black-painted door give the space a more sophisticated, modern decor edge. It's the perfect contrast to the sweetness of the pink floral wallpaper, the pink carpet and the pink bedding. A few organic details also help to elevate the space. From the natural wood of the crib to the rattan lampshade, these earthy decor items help to ground the baby pink in the rest of the space.
Further, Dewan has designed the room so that her baby can grow into it. For now, the crib is the perfect resting place and the shelves are perfect for storing baby supplies. As baby Rhiannon grows up, the day bed will become a better place for sleep and the shelves will become perfect toy storage.
