Royal Baby: King of the Skies

I posted my take on the female version of the royal nursery here, but I wanted to show how I would decorate for the future King of England below.

I envision the nursery to have an vintage pilot theme to it. So lets take a look at what that would mean!


Let's start with the crib and bedding. I loved the clean lines of the crib and think it plays well with the more traditional wood color. The crisp colors in the bedding combined with the traditional map print would compliment the crib nicely and serve as the color scheme for the room. I also love the idea of the globe mobile with the vintage model airplanes flying around it.

The dresser pics up the same colors from the crib and would make a good changing table. I would repeat the mobile idea with these wire planes - a nice touch to keep the baby's attention during diaper changes.  The union jack tarp wall tapestry has a nice vintage feel and gives a gentle nod to the baby's future role.

I love the idea of outfitting a rocker in a nice manly leather. The combination is so unexpected and decidedly masculine. The vintage ticket stub rug is graphic and fun - it even includes a nod to London!

Now onto the fun stuff - Every room should have a little fun it. I love this pilot tent (yes I realize that it is for the US air force instead of RAF, but I'm pretty sure they could have it custom made with Will's division logo.) and the matching pedal airplane. Both should inspire hours of imagination and fun. The final touch is the aviator chair which is miniature sized and perfect for quiet reading time.
