🎀 How to Style the “Cherry on Top” Nursery
Let the changing mat inspire the rest of your design. Build your space with joyful tones, classic stripes, and eclectic textures that feel curated but playful.
1. Pick Your Palette
Start by drawing colours from the mat:
- Cherry red for statement pieces — like this bold red cot from Oeuf NYC
- Sky blue for calming contrast—think armchairs, wall paint or soft toy storage
- Cream and pastel yellow to ground the look with warmth
This colour combo balances retro vibes with modern nursery elegance.
2. Mix Patterns with Confidence
The cherry stripe base makes it easy to build in visual interest. Try layering:
- Pinstripes (lampshades, storage bins)
- Florals — from Eleanor Bowmer wallpaper to bedding
- Gingham or check — a nostalgic touch that never goes out of style
Top it off with textures like tufted rugs, embroidered cushions, and woven baskets for depth and personality.
3. Keep it Functional
Our Cherry Stripe Changing Mat isn’t just cute—it’s made for daily use:
- ✔ Wipe-clean surface

- Striped or gingham storage baskets to echo the mat’s pattern
Let the mat lead your theme and build around it—this makes for a cohesive, thoughtfully styled space that still feels playful and one-of-a-kind.
