Furniture

While there’s a sweet and dreamy quality to the notion of designing a nursery, the practical work of creating a safe, comfortable, beautiful, serene room for a baby can feel overwhelming. Create a soothing space with minimalist design. Stick to neutral colors like whites, grays, and soft pastels. Opt for clean-lined furnishings and simple decor. 

On a practical level, if you plan on having more kids, keeping things gender-neutral will make it easier for you to reuse and repurpose furnishings and decor, helping to offset the carbon footprint of your brand-new tiny human and make outfitting the nursery both more sustainable and less of a project the next time around.  Remember to personalize the nursery with items that resonate with your style and comfort. Whether it’s whimsical lighting, cozy rugs, or unique artwork, make it a space where you and your baby feel at ease.
