Why Retro 70s works for your nursery
A nursery is primarily about infant sleep, feeding, and care. Retro 70s brings burnt orange & avocado green to this space, creating an environment that feels soothing, gentle, and nurturing. The style's emphasis on shag rugs & sunken lounges pairs naturally with the nursery's need for soft and warm lighting. When it comes to durability, Retro 70s works here because nursery surfaces need moderate — surfaces should be easy to clean but the room sees gentler use than a kids' room resistance, and the style's material palette accommodates that.
