Go Big, or Go Home
While the oversize changing table-dresser-armoire combo on the left of this nursery may seem like a big undertaking for a baby's room, it means that everything has a specific place. Keeping your baby's nursery neat and organized makes things easier for mom and will up the aesthetic appeal.
Pastel Perfect
Pastels and fun accessories make this the perfect space for a little girl.
Mix-and-Match Bedding
We're loving the eclectic look of this cozy crib. A plush mobile adds warmth and interest.
How the West Was Won
Steal the idea of incorporating favorite song lyrics into your child's wall art, as was done here with the mini gallery wall.
The Power of the Pattern
Hanging window treatments from the ceiling to the floor adds drama and actually makes the room appear larger.
In the Works
Although this nursery is in the works, we can't help but picture the finished space with its gray walls and purple accents.
Simply Classic
Classic pieces like a traditional crib and antique vanity create a cozy space for mom and baby.
Simply Gold
Although it's just a close-up, this nursery has inspiring gold accents.
Wild Walls
Bold wallpaper makes a statement. Limit it to covering just one wall so that it doesn't overwhelm the room.
Ladylike Luxe
This beautiful little girl's nursery is complete with pink and gray tones that complement each other perfectly.
Rustic Modern
What makes this little boy's nursery stand out is the beautiful wood focal wall that allows the dark crib to pop.
Shabby Chic
Soft colors and a vintage crib create a relaxing environment for your baby.
Midcentury Modern
This midcentury modern nursery has papier-maché animals and a fun bowl chandelier that sets it apart from the rest!
Bright and Cuddly
This unique ottoman adds a burst of color to the room and soft textures to cozy up against come reading time.
An Eclectic Mix
In baby Penny's nursery, a traditional Jenny Lind crib and old-fashioned dresser contrast with bold, polka-dot mirrors. Overmatching is overrated!
Fashion-Forward
Perfect for the budding fashionista, this room uses vintage fashion prints to create a focal point above the crib.
International Flair
"Lamp and prints from the UK; crib linens courtesy of mom/grandma; poufs from our babymoon in Spain, accessories from Etsy, EBay and Joss&Main. Can't wait to see it all come together," said jet-set mama Kirsten Reckman. Landon is going to be one worldly baby!
Singing in the Rain
Raindrop wall decals give a gentle sprinkle above this babe's bed.
Minimal and Monogrammed
We love the idea of using a monogrammed decal on the side of the crib for a personal touch!
Crisp and Traditional
Classic white furniture and shades of purple are a great option for a baby girl.
Relaxing Nook
This nursery's reading nook is a relaxing space to cuddle up in during story time. The 3D flowers are an extraspecial touch!
Bursting With Color
The bright orange accents of this room really stand out among the deep gray walls — the perfect nursery for a boy or girl!
Eclectic Accents
A nursery is a temporary space, so rather than driving yourself crazy with custom framing and hanging, keep the look light and easy. This room's unframed hanging wall art and a decorative life preserver add a touch of fun to the crib.
Natural Setting
We love the oversize wall decal that frames the crib in this nursery perfectly.
Ahoy!
"We went for a more grown-up nursery theme . . . nautical!" said Instagramming mama hooahandhiccups. Check out the amazing shadowbox that she created with all of Nolan's newborn keepsakes.
