Apropos of our annual issue celebrating the great outdoors, interior designer Samantha Pappas shares a seaside nursery, where she weaves the old charm of a vintage textile into the decor of the place where new life begins. The wallpaper’s whisper of waves quietly flows around the room while the color palette replicates the beach just steps away—the ocean’s salty spray and soft, peaceful sand-colored walls and window treatments.
Sherwin-Williams in Sea Salt
“Because of the soft muted tones, tranquility and calmness can be instantly felt, a top priority for the homeowners.”
These Walls, Onshore in Sand
“Adding in a playful touch to a nursery is a must. This paper gives us that without being too childish and keeps to the coastal landscape without feeling kitschy.”
St. Frank Textile
“The deep blue fabric complements the otherwise calm and neutral pallet of the room. It is the perfect piece to add a stormy ocean mood while also combining something old with the new life in this renovated home.”
Horizons End Cap in Antique Gold
“Brushed gold hardware provides a traditional and timeless touch that also adds a warm tone in the overall cool color palette of the room.”
