While not everyone feels enthusiastic about nursery design, it’s worth considering how you’ll decorate your child’s space, especially since you’ll want to avoid frequent redecorating as their needs and tastes change over the years.
The secret is to emphasize adaptable, evolving, and multi-purpose design. It’s easy to go overboard with themes like unicorns or Winnie the Pooh, so keep a cool head and stay composed. By following a few straightforward guidelines, you can craft a stylish, functional nursery that grows alongside your child.
Most importantly, designing a nursery or child’s room should be enjoyable! Ensure your design mirrors your personal style and complements the rest of your home. Choose pieces that you adore and will continue to appreciate over time.
Maintain practicality and consistency without rushing to finalize the entire design overnight. Allowing ideas to develop over time can lead to the best results. Now, let’s explore three trends set to shape stylish nurseries:
Deep, nurturing colors are replacing lavender this year, with shades like mauve-grey and hunter green bringing a calm, earthy feel that’s ideal for modern parents.
This trend focuses on tonal harmony. Start with a base neutral, such as grey, and layer different shades for a sense of depth. Pick tones from nearby sections on the color chart to maintain subtle variety. Add bright accents like the vibrant “living coral” (Pantone’s color of 2019) to enliven the space.
Use colors that enhance the scheme without dominating it. The color wheel can help identify combinations that work well together.
The boho style may seem timeless, but its recent integration into nurseries brings exciting, sensory appeal with bold prints, vintage rugs, and rich textures.
If you love eclectic collections and unconventional art, let your creativity shine here. Think Dutch flea-market meets Moroccan souk, with layered patterns and vintage-meets-minimalist flair.
Though color choices are open, warm earth tones like oranges are often popular. Add some greenery to complete the boho look.
As more parents choose not to learn their baby’s gender before birth, a timeless, neutral aesthetic is gaining favor over traditional pastels. Bubblegum pinks and baby blues are a thing of the past.
Opt instead for soft greys, cotton whites, and timeless wooden furniture that combines form with function. Scandinavian-inspired designs bring a modern, unfussy feel that is both stylish and budget-friendly.
For added dimension, mix textures and patterns while keeping the palette neutral.
