Harlow's Scandi x Boho Nursery

This charming nursery was the result of powerhouse collaboration between designers Krystal Dahaby, of House of Harvee, and Ebony Pezzuto from Keeks and Chuck. In fact, it was Ebony, pregnant with her third child, who decided to expand the brains trust and enlist friend and colleague, Krystal, to help her “create a functional, gorgeous, eye catching room” for the newest addition to her family, baby Harlow. The brief was to find a style that stood apart “I really wanted to create a look that was different from things that we see every day on social media” says Ebony.

The starting point was an Amigos De Hoy rug.

With this as their motivation, Krystal and Ebony have achieved a unique look in this room, using a combination of modern Scandinavian and boho detailing.

The starting point was an Amigos De Hoy rug that Ebony fell in love with and purchased prior to the collaboration. The rug is perhaps the reason this room straddles two design styles.

Ebony opted for British Paints Baby Cheek on the doors.

The scandi style is carried through in the Marius chest of drawers from Click On Furniture. The soft pink of the façade fits seamlessly with the colour scheme and the detailing in the panels ensures this standard piece of bedroom furniture actually contributes to the beautiful aesthetic. Other modern elements include the County Road ladder shelf and the Noah lounge chair from Click On Furniture.

The boho details are equally strong, and a stand out piece is the oval cane bassinet accompanied by the counting sheep rocker, both from Sacred Bundle. Other more subtle boho touches are the wooden bead garland by Luxe Baby Love, and the beaded shelf by Winter and Vine. The colourful mobile from Pol and Pom incredibly hits all the colour accents perfectly. The Winnie Dot name wall mount personalises the room beautifully and carries through the light wooden tones in the basketry, cane furniture and ladder.

Krystal recalls that the biggest challenge designing this room was fitting all the décor together into the space to ensure each piece was able to “shine on their own” while also working together “for functionality and design.” To give this sense of balance, Krystal identified all the ‘wow’ pieces and then positioned them to avoid clumping. She then also took note of the minor design pieces to add a second layer of balance, for example, the beading elements are positioned on opposite walls and the strong mustard tones pop evenly around the room.

This room’s distinctive style really shines and has certainly met Ebony’s goal. And for Krystal, the result is what every designer can only hope for - “better than we imagined!” We just know that baby Harlow will enjoy this room for many years to come.
