The Hottest Trends in Baby Nurseries

When it comes to decorating the perfect first room for your baby, you want a room that showcases your personal style, stimulates your baby’s mind, and is a perfect addition to your home. Here are some of the hottest trends in baby nurseries:

1. Gender-Neutral Decor
Pink is not going away anytime soon and neither is blue, but they are being joined by the neutral, unisex colors. Sarah Lynam of Pottery Barn Kids said the store’s summer line is loaded with gender-neutral schemes, including a new Dr. Seuss line featuring blue, red and yellow. Items in the nursery bedding line will be available this month, and prices range from $29 for a fitted sheet to $99 for a crib bumper. And for those with a green mind to match the green decor, the sheets are made with organic cotton fibers.

2. Designer-Look Nurseries
With a celebrity gracing the cover of a magazine with their new baby almost each week, the several page spread about their joyous addition not only displays the hottest diaper bags and strollers, but nursery decor. “You are going to spend a lot of time in the room, so you want it to be inviting for you and able to grow,” Lynam said. “You are starting to see the designer look, so you grow with the child and you like it, and later it can transition into another room.” Whatever the style of your home is, bring that style into your nursery.

3. Animals Move Indoors
All of nature’s creatures have moved inside to baby’s nursery. Owls and elephants seem to be popping up everywhere in nursery themes. Horton Hears A Who! has been a major influence in this revival of the big mammal.

4. Lavender and Tiffany Blue
Pink with brown and blue with brown have been the color combinations for a while in nurseries for a reason. They look pretty together. But other color schemes are on the horizon. Lavender and purple seem to be trending up as well as a lot of aqua blue and Tiffany blue.
