Welcome to the twins nursery! I’m so excited to share their room with you, it’s my absolute favorite room in the house. I had a hard time deciding how I wanted to decorate this room… and my pinterest boards only made me more confused! Have any of you found that it’s harder to decorate since Pinterest? I could not decide what direction I wanted to go because I liked so many different nursery ideas online! In the end, I went with something fairly simple. It’s a really small room and we needed to squeeze a large couch, two cribs and a big dresser in it. I knew if I over decorated, it would end up feeling closed in and cluttered so I kept it really bright and clean and it turned out so much better than I’d pictured in my head! I hope you enjoy.

Because we didn’t have a huge budget for this room, we ended up buying all the furniture from Ikea. I’d chucked our old crib when we moved because it was falling apart and wasn’t safe anymore. I’d also spent hours researching twin nurseries and learned that when feeding two, a couch is best. I do miss rocking my babies, but the couch has been so helpful and not to mention it’s great for when I fall asleep with a baby on my chest in the middle of the night! And yes… I’m crazy and chose white. I know it’ll most likely get destroyed by my children but the entire cover can be washed and bleached (you know, in all my spare time haha) and I just really really wanted it! Once I had settled on the furniture and knew how it fit in the room, I picked out the rug and window treatments. I really debated on throwing pictures and shelves up all over the walls but decided to just keep it really simple. I love how clean this room feels and even when there’s blankets and burp cloths and laundry all over the place, it still feels clean.

Great nursery! What size Animal Print Shop prints did you choose? What size are the frames? Source for the frames?
Adorable!! Love all the colors and how clean and uncluttered it is!! And those are the sweetest photos of the four of you!! Quick question…do you remember the name of the paint color on the walls? It’s looks like it’s a nice mix between grey and beige and I’ve been been looking for something similar for our master. Thanks! 🙂
Everything is beautiful. I love the mobile.
The boys are precious and the room is Lovely!
Don´t forget to move the cushions around in the Ektorp sofa. It makes them stay in shape longer.
I love the simplicity! I have the sectional version of your couch in my living room. I love the white. I end up washing it once every 4-6 weeks. It’s crazy but I like seeing when it’s dirty. Knowing I can clean it. And yes, bleach is my best friend.
I have twin boys too. Mine are 5 now. It gets easier as they get older. 😉 Cute room. Love the rug. I also spotted the white noise machine you have on the dresser. We have the same one and love it. They are sure cute babies.
What a great nursery. The couch is a brilliant idea!! My twins were in the NICU for about a month and four years ago today they came home. Your post just made me smile:)
