When I spotted the image of this gorgeous nursery, belonging to Chicago Fire’s midfielder Logan Pause and his lovely family, a couple of years back I immediately fell in love with it. It is beautifully balanced and not too over the top as I find most nurseries to be. I also adore the mix of pattern and texture – the amazing exposed brickwork adds so much character. The nursery’s neutral backdrop makes for a calm and fresh room with just a hint of punchy peach and pink colour. The overall look is soft, feminine and elegant – the perfect room for a baby girl!
