Hues Clues

Custom Nurseries by Amy Gibbs

Call it gender neutral; call it Zen. Just don’t call us when the little bambina is bored to tears by her vanilla pudding bedroom.

Instead call kids’ interior designer Amy Gibbs. Whether it’s a repurposed Hermès scarf as a throw pillow or an old armoire spruced up with Pucci-esque fabric, Gibbs has a knack for infusing color in sophisticated, unexpected ways that won’t break the bank.

Projects big or small, she’s your girl. Need a few accessories to add the right pizazz? Done. Need a floor-to-ceiling makeover? She’ll schlep around and look for every last towel hook.

Without hanging you out to dry.
