From Inspiration to Nursery Design: Charming Creatures Tiger

Post by Danielle Kurtz, Creative Director at The Land of Nod

I just adore this papier-mâché tiger head. It’s based on an illustration by the lovely and talented Sarah Walsh. And, it’s made and painted completely by hand. So each is truly a work of art. With all that craft in one adorable tiger head, I think it’s the perfect inspiration for a nursery design. The color palette is unusual, a modern take on a traditional bright palette. With the introduction of black and white, it’s easy to keep the design looking graphic and bold. Also, I love the geometric patterns used in the design, and was inspired by those repetitive patterns when choosing the items for this nursery design. Modern and playful, the perfect combination.
