I often get asked how I come up with my nursery style ideas, and the answer is that I almost always begin with a single inspirational bit. In my daughter’s nursery, it had been her drapes; in her big girl room, it had been her rug. But among my favourite items to use as a jumping-off point is art. The lion print by Lizzy Stewart is a perfect example: It’s serious style and a beautiful color palette. Read on to see the space it inspired. — Lauren from A Lovely Life
