This family didn't know whether they were going to have a boy or a girl, so the challenge was to create a fun, peaceful and playful nursery that catered to either eventuality.

A calming backdrop of stone and cream was given a lift with pops of orange and lime, and those all important blackout blinds were made in a quirky twist on the traditional polka dot. Wall decoration comprised a slice of nature, with animals, birds, trees and leaves in authentic and rare retro wallpaper.

(BTW, it was a girl).
