When we think of a nursery, play often comes first – think animal motifs, vibrant colors, and captivating patterns everywhere. Though these spaces are crucially designed for a new baby, it’s equally important to prioritize the needs of the new parents, who will be spending most of their time in this room for the next several months. Clever storage and soothing decor need to be part of the architecture of the room, not just an afterthought.<\/p>\n
Nicole Brydon Bloom and Justin Theroux leaned into this duality when they began to design their baby boy’s nursery<\/a> with the Crate & Kids Design Desk<\/a>. ‘We wanted a space that was calm and grounded, but still fun and playful,’ explains the actress. The serene coastal color palette, cocooning furnishings, and subtly relaxing patterns of the space go above and beyond in creating a room that is stimulating for the baby but calming for the parents.<\/p>\n ‘They exceeded our expectations,’ gushes Nicole. Homes & Gardens<\/em> steps into the soothing baby boy’s nursery<\/a> to explore how anyone can make these spaces equally enjoyable for children and adults.<\/p>\n (Image credit: Crate & Kids)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Like any interior design project, creating this baby’s room was a labor of love, but working with the Crate and Kids team was a huge help.<\/p>\n Nicole explains: ‘Our designer really listened to what we liked and how we wanted the room to work. She pulled all our ideas together in a way we never could\u2019ve done on our own. They gave us a beautiful 3D rendering of the room so we could see how each piece would look in the space, which made everything feel so much more real and exciting before our little guy arrived.’<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/aqbmex0q6x1739447193.svg\")
