Desert Vibes
This cactus-print changing pad cover is sweet on its own, but thinking about it paired with this adorable pink metal changing table makes us swoon. What’s more Palm Springs than mint green and Millennial pink? Nothing! Except this cactus hamper.
Citrus Hues
Oranges, yellows and creams are delicious colors for a nursery. Picture pastel yellow cradle sheets, grapefruit-hued swaddling blankets and this smiling sunshine print by Sarah Walsh. The cherry on top? A pineapple night light!
Polka Dots
Not every nursery needs a theme per se, but tying everything together with a single element gives a space a polished, cohesive look. We love this round, fluffy feather pendant dangling above a cushy polka-dot rug in gray and white. Play with scale too. Tiny pom-poms on sheer curtains are a playful finishing touch.
Sleek ’n’ Modern
If you can already tell your baby (ahem, you) will have more refined tastes, might we suggest an intriguing modern take on the nursery? This clear crib is (ironically) the most eye-catching baby bed we’ve come across. It’s made from nontoxic, 100% recycled acrylic. We adore these black-and-white arrow-print sheets inside it and a hugs-and-kisses mobile on top.
Geometry Lesson
For a little adventure, why not pair a classic white crib set with an incredibly colorful geometric rug? Sticking to clean lines and modern shapes throughout a space allows for big pops of color here and there to shake things up—like a wall clock with a funky ’80s vibe.
Texture Time
Rattan and jute are popping up more frequently in nursery designs, which is exciting because they offer tons of texture and potential. Imagining a newborn snuggling into this woven basket on top of a hand-knotted jute and sisal rug with this striped fabric hamper in the corner sends our heart aflutter.
Gray Skies
Gray covers a lot of territory when it comes to baby stuff. It’s gender-neutral, soothing and elegant—not to mention the color of elephants. We can’t get enough of this elephant wallpaper or this rocking chair (that, frankly, reminds us of a little Dumbo bassinet sheet). If you need to brighten up a gray nursery, we’d go for this marquee cloud light.
