Find inspiration from this cheerful nursery with transitional charm.

This baby's room is as calming as it is cheerful, making it the perfect transitional space for designer Erin Shearer’s younger son.
 

Here’s how to achieve a similar look
1 Opt for playful pieces. These colourful wildlife prints not only lend youthful whimsy to the nursery but also have major staying power for when the child grows older.

2 Paint walls in a neutral shade to create the perfect backdrop for showcasing bright accessories and fun, festive touches.

3 Scour salvage shops for time-worn furniture that tells a story, such as this antique rocking chair. It’s one of the easiest ways to add character to a space.
