Having a baby is one of the most joyous occasions that life has to offer. It’s also one of the most stressful. It might seem overwhelming trying to think of how to decorate your nursery when there are so many other obligations to tackle. Decorating a modern nursery does not have to be a burden. It can be a fun, exciting process that’s satisfying and pleasing for both you and your baby.
Neutral colors and a focus on a streamlined space are the best starting places for your modern nursery design. A neutral palette with cool grays, smooth ivory, or contemporary taupe gives you the opportunity to use other colors as the additional layers. These colors are also very calming and create a gender-neutral space. Match this palette with low-profile, multi-functional furniture to enhance the utility of the space while keeping it from becoming crowded. Leave as much space as possible in the center of the room so that you have a place to work with your child and a place to let them practice crawling.
Speaking of furniture, take the opportunity to acquire pieces that you love. Your baby won’t have a preference about what type of crib he or she sleeps in, but you will. The nursery is still a room in your home, so choose furniture that you want to have around. It’s also a room where you will be spending lots of time with your baby, so make sure you have a nice rocking chair or other furniture that you need to feel comfortable. This includes lighting. Try installing a nice ceiling light fixture that’s simple to turn on and off. Put it on a dimmer to maximize its potential!
The nursery will become one of the most essential rooms in your home once the baby arrives. Make it your favorite room in the house!
