CAROUSSENTIALS: Floating Cloud Shelves For Childrens Bedrooms & Nurseries

Feb 23, 2024

Happy New Year!

Is it still acceptable to say that halfway through February?
(Bearing in mind, this was started 10 days ago and now it's marching on towards March!)

Anyway, given that this is the first CAROUSSENTIALS edit of the year, I'm going to conclude - or should that be concloud - yes (a little conclue for you there) and continue.

One could suggest that it might be more appropriate to cite Happy Valentine's Day, but we know not everyone wants to observe the patron saint of romance's holiday, (plus, let's not forget it's now 10 days later and Valentine's has been and gone) so rather than witter on about love being in the air, in today's post, our focus is going to be on something else that permeates the air.

Too nebulous?

(Drum) roll of thunder, please...

Our first item to have its day in the sun this year will be the perennially popular Pinterest / Instagram children's nursery must-have that is the:

CLOUD SHELF

SHOP ALL CLOUD SHELVES

Such is the demand for these pretty and practical little children's shelves, that we don't just have one Cloud Shelf, but a veritable sky full of them, but what, you might ask, is it about our cloud shelves that make them such an endearing addition to your children's rooms?

Well, one of the key reasons our range of floating cloud shelves have become such a trend for children's rooms and nurseries is their ability to seamlessly blend with various nursery decor themes, for example:

Safari Theme

Our charming cloud shelves are available in neutral colours, including white and pale grey, which provides a versatile backdrop that complements the earthy tones commonly found in safari-themed nurseries. The gentle, undulating shapes mimic the sky and clouds often seen in savannah landscapes, adding a touch of whimsy without clashing with the overall safari aesthetic.

Woodland Theme

Given they are made from wood and feature colours borrowed from nature, our cloud-shaped shelves can easily be incorporated into woodland-themed nurseries. The smooth curves of the cloud motifs echo the natural forms found in the forest, and the neutral colours help maintain the organic and serene feel of any woodland-inspired bedroom, nursery or playroom.

Celestial Theme

Needless to say, a cloud shelf is a natural fit for a celestial-themed nursery. The cloud shape itself is reminiscent of the sky, and when combined with celestial decor elements like our star and moon hooks, it contributes to the dreamy and cosmic atmosphere. Added to which, opting for cloud shelves in celestial colours like soft blues or silvery whites enhances the theme beautifully.

Nautical Theme

Whilst not directly related to the ocean, our nursery cloud shelves can still work well in nautical-themed children's rooms. The airy and light appearance of our children's cloud shelves complements the open and breezy feel of any nautical theme. We recommend choosing a cloud shelf in light blue or white to evoke a sense of sky and clouds, and harmonise with your overall nautical aesthetic

Pastel & Neutral Themes

All our wooden cloud shelves are versatile enough to fit into nurseries with pastel or neutral colour schemes. Whether the room is decorated in soft pinks, blues, or gender-neutral tones, the subtle and charming design of a classic cloud shelf adds a delightful touch without overpowering the chosen colour palette

Modern & Minimalist Themes

For nurseries with a modern or minimalist design, cloud shelves offer a simple yet whimsical element. Opting for a cloud shelf with clean lines and a monochromatic colour ensures you maintain the sleek aesthetic while introducing a playful and imaginative aspect through the cloud-shaped design

In essence, all our cloud shelfs serve as a neutral and adaptable decor elements that can enhance a wide range of nursery themes. Their simple, classy and airy design allows them to seamlessly integrate into various styles, providing both functional storage and creative appeal in the context of different nursery themes.

WHAT MAKES OUR CLOUD SHELVES SO SPECIAL

As noted, cloud shelves have become increasingly popular for children's rooms and nurseries due to their aesthetic appeal, but being the very epitome of a CAROUSSENTIAL, naturally, these pretty children's bedroom shelves don't just look good, they also act as a effective storage solution for books, trinkets, toys, nightlights and more...

Functional Storage

Beyond their decorative appeal, cloud shelves provide functional storage space. Parents can use them to display books, toys, or decorative items, helping to keep the room organised while adding an element of style. Some of our designs also feature handy hooks, for hanging, clothes, coats and dressing gowns!

Easy Installation

Our cloud shelves are designed for easy installation, making them convenient for parents who may not have extensive DIY skills. The simplicity of hanging these shelves allows for quick and hassle-free setup in the nursery or child's room

Stimulating Imagination

Cloud shapes inherently evoke thoughts of the sky and daydreaming. Having cloud shelves in a child's space can stimulate their imagination and creativity. Children may find joy in imagining that their room is in the sky, fostering a sense of wonder and exploration.

GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD

Our pretty cloud shelves are versatile enough to adapt to the changing needs and preferences of a growing child. While they may be initially used for displaying toys and books, as the child gets older, the shelves can be repurposed for displaying decorative items, trophies, or even as a place to showcase their artwork.

Time to wind this up before another 10 days floats past...

IN conclo-ud-sion

We have learned, cloud shelves have established themselves as a top choice for children's rooms and nurseries because they seeminglessly blend functionality with a whimsical design that appeals to both children and parents. They help create a charming space for children whilst providing practical storage solutions.

In our opinion, Cloud Shelves, unlike their whispy, real-life muses, will continue to hang around, remaining an eternally popular choice for children's nurseries, bedrooms and playrooms due to their timeless and simple design which coordinates with pretty much most kids rooms.
