Peggy's nursery

‘ This is my favourite room in the flat,’ says Nancy.

‘It gets that golden hour light when the sun sets. I originally painted it sage green, but I soon went off it. I wanted something prettier without it being too cartooney and girly, so I used a lovely monochrome floral wallpaper instead.’ Since then, Nancy has added 1950s school chairs, an Ercol rocking chair, 1930s drawers from her mum and an IKEA cot that she painted pink. ’Mixing up different eras can look nice and eclectic but if you get it wrong, it can look messy. The key is using the same wood tone.’

‘ The shelves feature lots of nice pieces that I’ve collected for Peggy or things that friends have made her, so everything is quite special. I particularly love the print by local artist Gemma Koomen’ ‘ The Hammam towels were picked up on trips to Turkey, where they cost around £2 compared to over £20 in the UK’
