The Beverly Hills Bloom
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most joyous milestones a family can experience, and it’s a privilege to be part of that journey. For our Beverly Hills Bloom project, we had the honor of working with a long-time client for the fourth time. This family has entrusted us with organizing and curating the majority of their stunning Beverly Hills home over the years. This time, however, the project was extra special: they were preparing for the arrival of their first baby—a precious baby girl.
In true Graceful Spaces fashion, our approach went far beyond the nursery organization. We thoughtfully curated spaces to support every aspect of life with a newborn, including the baby room organization. While we can’t take away sleepless nights, we can certainly help remove the stress of organization, ensuring their home is set up to make daily life with a baby smoother and more manageable through luxury nursery organization.
Building Luxury, Baby Edition
When preparing a home for a new baby, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Each family’s needs are unique, and our Building Luxury service is designed to deliver tailored solutions that merge functionality with refinement. It’s a renowned service we’re proud to offer, and for the Beverly Hills Bloom project, it began months before we even arrived in California.
We collaborated closely with the family to design two essential spaces: the nursery closet and the home’s entryway closet. Both were blank slates, giving us the opportunity to craft highly functional, luxurious storage solutions that would grow and adapt alongside baby girl and her family.
The Nursery Closet: Elevated Functionality
The nursery closet was designed with adaptability in mind. Using Elfa Decor from The Container Store, we created a space that embodies refined luxury while offering unparalleled functionality. Elfa Decor’s elevated materials and finishes were the perfect choice for this sophisticated Beverly Hills home. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure the closet would meet the family’s needs from the newborn stage and beyond.
•Over-the-Door Storage: To maximize space and keep essentials within easy reach, we incorporated Elfa over-the-door storage solutions. These were perfect for small items like bibs, hats, diaper overflow, and other accessories.
•Adjustable Shelving: As baby girl grows, the shelving can be reconfigured to accommodate everything from tiny onesies to toddler essentials.
The Entryway Closet: Baby on the Go
Life with a newborn often involves a lot of quick trips and outings, which makes having a well-organized entryway essential. We transformed this blank slate into a dedicated baby-on-the-go zone, making it easy for the family to get out the door with everything they need.
Stroller Storage: The closet was designed to accommodate multiple strollers, ensuring they’re easily accessible yet neatly stored.
Shelving for Accessories: We added custom Elfa shelving to create designated zones for stroller accessories, baby carriers, swaddles, and more.
Over-the-Door Storage: To make the most of the space, we incorporated another Elfa over-the-door storage solution, perfect for storing diaper overflow and additional grab-and-go essentials.
This entryway closet isn’t just practical—it’s a lifesaver for busy parents, turning what could be a chaotic morning scramble into a smooth, streamlined routine.
If you’re looking for a team of experts who will ensure your home is truly custom—from the blueprint stages to transforming existing spaces—we would love to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re looking to maximize a specific area of your home or completely reinvent how your space functions, Building Luxury is the service that will elevate both the design and practicality of your home.

Inside the Beverly Hills Bloom Nursery
We’re starting the tour in the nursery, where words can barely capture just how precious, timeless, and magical this space is. Our clients did a truly beautiful job designing a nursery that feels both classic and enchanting. From the delicate floral wallpaper to the charming details, every inch of this room is perfectly tailored for a baby girl, creating a space that will stand the test of time.
The Nursery Closet: Designed to Grow
The custom closet, designed by the Graceful Spaces team and installed ahead of our arrival in Beverly Hills, allowed us to dive straight into organizing. This beautifully designed space quickly transformed into a fully functional haven for the family. The nursery closet strikes the perfect balance between luxury and practicality, with ample hanging space and dresser drawers below. It’s designed to meet the baby girl’s current needs while allowing for easy adjustments as she grows.
Next Size Bin
Using custom vinyl labels and packing cubes, we created a system for clothes in sizes ranging from newborn to toddler. Each size is neatly organized in its own designated space, ensuring that as baby girl grows, the family can easily access the next size up. This thoughtful organization keeps everything streamlined, making transitions between stages seamless.
Donate Bin
As part of our standard process, we include a dedicated donate bin in all key spaces, especially in children’s areas. This thoughtful addition allows the family to easily manage outgrown clothing and toys, ensuring a clutter-free environment while simplifying the process of donating items when they are no longer needed.
On both sides of the closet, additional hanging space and shelving provide ample storage for shoes and other items. To make the most of every inch, we added two different styles of the Elfa over-the-door storage solutions on both closet doors.
The beauty of this system is its flexibility—categories can be easily adjusted with the switch of a label as her needs evolve.
We also incorporated a darling light pink Stackers for storing special jewelry and sentimental pieces she may receive over the years. And of course, no luxury nursery closet would be complete without a touch of designer charm—baby girl’s adorable baby Dior was placed front and center, a sweet and stylish nod to her Beverly Hills roots.
The custom Elfa closet drawers were thoughtfully organized with purpose, featuring gold-trimmed drawer organizers for a touch of luxe detail. Currently, they house essentials like socks and baby items, while leaving intentional space for future growth. As baby girl transitions from newborn to toddler and beyond, these elegantly organized drawers will become indispensable for managing her evolving needs with both style and functionality.
The Nursery Dresser: Curated for Seamless Routines
Next, we turn our attention to the dresser, a perfectly curated hub designed to make diaper changes, dressing baby girl, and all the in-between moments as seamless as possible. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure that this space supports the family’s daily routines with ease and style.
In the top drawer, we organized all the essentials for quick access during diaper changes and other daily tasks. Featuring products from Ella Ola, known for their gentle and high-quality baby care items, this drawer holds everything the family might need within arm’s reach.
In the lower drawers, we utilized sleek white drawer dividers to store additional clothing, wraps, and other necessities. This system ensures that every item has its place while maintaining the flexibility to grow with baby girl’s needs.
The Nursery Bathroom: Thoughtful Touches for Bath Time
Adjoining the nursery, the bathroom has been transformed into a functional and well-stocked space, perfect for baby girl’s bath time routines. Here, we incorporated more of the Ella Ola line for bath essentials, along with a baby thermometer to make every bath safe and comfortable.
Underneath the bathroom counter, we utilized linus bins to neatly store items like bath toys, waterproof zippered vinyl bags, and extra toiletries. These waterproof bags are perfect for keeping items dry and organized, while the clear bins ensure everything is visible and easy to locate.
A Cozy Nook for Baby Girl
No nursery would be complete without a cozy little nook for reading and playtime. We carved out a special space filled with love and charm, featuring pink and ivory woven baskets from The Container Store. These beautiful and durable baskets are perfect for storing toys and books, blending functionality with timeless design.
The nursery cart
Conveniently positioned next to the nursery’s daybed, a charming rolling cart is stocked with baby essentials, ensuring that anyone tending to baby in the middle of the night has easy access to everything they need.
Setting Up a Home for Success: Beyond the Nursery
Life with a newborn doesn’t happen solely within the walls of the nursery. From late-night feeds in mom and dad’s room to cozy moments in the living room, and even getting baby girl out the door for her first adventures, we took a whole-home approach to organization. Every detail was designed to make life easier and more enjoyable for this growing family.
Convenient Carts
To ensure everything was within reach, we put together carts designed for ultimate accessibility. These carts were strategically placed in key areas of the home, such as the living room and master bedroom, to make nursing, bottle feeding, and diaper changes effortless—no need for trips upstairs or rummaging through diaper bags. Each cart includes the following:
Diapers and wipes
Changing pads
Bibs and pacifiers
Mom’s pumping essentials
Bottles
Overflow essentials for quick restocking
Baby lotions and creams
A Second Bathing Station
Downstairs, we repurposed the large laundry room sink into a secondary baby bathing and changing station. Life happens, and having a dedicated space downstairs provides flexibility and convenience for the unexpected moments.
This station was fully stocked with:
Extra blankets and a change of clothes
Frida essentials (like nail care, gas relief tools, and thermometers)
Baby wash and towels
It’s the kind of thoughtful addition that offers peace of mind, ensuring the family has what they need, exactly when they need it.
The Custom Entryway Closet
One of the most practical features we added was a custom entryway closet designed with Elfa Decor. This space was transformed into an organizational hub for everything baby-related, making outings a breeze.
•Extra Storage: Gorgeous bins from Target were used to organize stroller accessories, baby carriers, and other grab-and-go essentials.
•Stroller-Friendly Space: Ample room for multiple strollers ensures they’re easily accessible but neatly tucked away.
•Quick Access Hooks: Hooks were installed for hanging diaper bags and jackets, so everything needed for heading out the door is within arm’s reach.
•Over-the-Door Storage: An Elfa over-the-door solution was added for extra diapers, wipes, and quick-replenish items, eliminating the need for trips upstairs when restocking the diaper bag.
This closet not only keeps everything beautifully organized but also makes daily routines, like leaving the house or replenishing supplies, seamless and stress-free.
Car Caddies and Diaper Bags
We also extended our organization beyond the home. For outings, we created car caddies for each vehicle using adorable, functional caddies sourced from Amazon. These were filled with all the must-haves for on-the-go parenting:
Diapers and wipes
Extra onesies
Changing pads
Portable pacifier cases
In addition, we made sure their diaper bag was perfectly equipped and ready to grab at a moment’s notice. From burp cloths to emergency supplies, this bag is as chic as it is practical.
A Home Ready for Every Moment
By thinking holistically about the family’s needs, we transformed their home into a sanctuary of convenience and ease. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure that life with a newborn—both inside and outside the nursery—flows smoothly.
The Beverly Hills Bloom project wasn’t just about creating a beautiful nursery. It was about supporting this family as they welcomed their baby girl and helping them feel prepared for all the precious moments ahead.
