Carlene is a colour confidence advocate and loves injecting a hit of colour into everything she does. Whether it's a bold statement or subtle hue that brings warmth to a space she is the queen of colour! It's no wonder that her top nursery looks involve beautiful rich tones for all genders.

Look 2 ~ Joyful Colour

 

"This space by Sarah Sherman Samuel is pure joy. Strong use of colour and pattern, it's like a child's wonderland. I love the scalloped pattern on the wall and that everything feels a bit oversized and dramatic. I'm obsessed with the heavy drapery flanking the huge arch. The nursery is not a time you want to hold back and SSS shows us how it's done."

Look 3 ~ Playful and Warm

 

"This is another of Sarah Sherman Samuel spaces. It's a very clever and unique use of colour and I love how she uses furniture that can be repurposed and have longevity rather than nursery-specific pieces. The art too is playful enough to be engaging to a baby but isn't baby-specific. I love that she didn't paint the timber ceiling as it adds welcomed warmth."
