Modern crib designers have decided that sleek, modern, clean lined baby nursery furniture just wasn’t ‘modern’ enough for todays babies. With changing tables made with light wood, white bases and zebra finish options, it appeared that this minimal design would last into the future. At retailers such as My Urban Child, cutting edge modern baby nursery furniture was very popular with young modern couples starting their family. With rooms becoming ultra modern and fine art replacing the animals and disney themes of yesteryear, modern crib companies are keeping up with the trends.

The Spot on Square Roh Crib is a perfect example of ultra modern. The transparent sides allow for full see-thru crib viewing of baby. Without the wooden slats that were standard, there is an additional safety aspect now present with the modern design of baby’s bed. Not to be outdone, Nurseryworks has designed the Hollis Crib to go with the modern acyrillic crib side feature trend. Inspired by Charles Hollis Jones, a pioneer in acrylic furniture design, the Hollis crib offers a futuristic but not too ‘out of the box’ type of design. Crafted from non-toxic and recyclable lucite, this modern baby nursery furniture offers a modern changing table and baby dresser add-on option to make the nursery complete.

The baby nursery will never be the same after our modern architects, contemporary designers, today’s mommies and cutting edge retaillers get together. With baby’s safety in mind, daddy’s desire to keep Noah’s Ark themed baby accessories out of the previously hot bachelor pad and mom’s ability to show the whole neighborhood that she still has style, modern baby nursery furniture is the coolest trend out there. The home does not have to sacrifice when two becomes three (or four, or five, or six…). With the flow from the modern living room extending to the dining, bedroom and kid’s rooms, the whole house will be a delight to entertain, rest or just play around in. Here comes baby and here comes style!

Diana said that it made her daughter’s nursery go from ordinary to eye catching. “People don’t even realize they are stickers at first. They kept asking me how I painted those dots on the wall. I would definitely recommend this product!”

Abby bought this tree for her daughter’s nursery, thinking it would liven it up a bit and make it more fun. “It not only did that but the moment we brought her home from the hospital she was inthralled with them. She is not quite 2 months old now but she loves to stare at the giant polka dots all over the walls and coo at them. My 2 year old had a great time helping us decorate with them too. It was fun for everyone. Also, easy to use, durable, removable, washable, not a single complaint about these. Buy them, you won’t regret it.”

“Of the last five rooms we did, four of them had either a monogram, the baby’s name lettered on the wall or a mixture of both,” said Lisa Pozdol, manager of WiggleWorm children’s store.

One customer was looking for a “classic, little-girl nursery.” Bunnies ended up being the theme the room revolved around. Bunnies now frolic in hand-painted murals, and baby’s name involved in the Lydia Reynolds painting design. The room is soft and feminine with cheerful shades of pink combined with celadon green. A combination of four fabrics includes a Brewster rose toile from which baby bumpers, crib skirt, table skirt, toss pillows and changing pad are made.

But the focal point of the room is baby’s monogram centering the cornice board across the window treatment. A matching monogram covers the night light’s shade.

The photo growth chart is a unique personal touch. Twelve small frames are grouped on linen fabric within a larger frame. Each month, a new photo of their little girl is added into a frame, making a photo record of baby’s first year. Each frame contains a square of the Brewster toile so that it coordinates with the room’s design until it is filled.

Working with a favorite color may make it tempting to use just that one hue throughout the décor. This will only create a dull and artificial atmosphere. Far more appealing would be a palette of contrasting colors applied to the various decorative elements. The following examples illustrate just how versatile and creative such color palettes can be as inspiration for a wedding look – whether these use light color contrasts, warm color contrasts, or cool color contrasts. The results are startlingly distinct—both visually and emotionally.

(1) Light Color Contrasts
Base Color: Pink
Contrast: Yellow and Green
Pink is a sweet, feminine color, great for a girl’s nursery room. But it can also be too much of a good thing if you use it throughout the décor may make the room appear overly saccharine. A color palette with pink as the base color can use lemon yellow and lime green accents for contrast—instantly creating a light, cheerful look.

(2) Warm Color Contrasts
Base Color: Red
Contrasting Colors: Burnt Orange and Brown
Red as part of the color palette of a baby’s nursery certainly makes a bold statement for a little boy, but using a palette consisting solely of red shades may be overpowering. Thus, warm, earthy colors such as burnt orange, brown, and a muted shade of gold are recommended as contrasts in a red-based nursery.

(3) Cool Color Contrasts
Base Color: Light Blue
Contrasting Colors: Navy Blue and White
Light blue is a lovely, relaxing color for a nursery. However, if a room’s color palette is based solely on this hue, the setting may appear pale and washed out—not exactly befitting a happy baby. Nursery room decor with light blue as its base can be enlivened with touches of navy blue and white.

While a nursery theme may be an exciting challenge for many, planning a theme in the hope of ensuring a perfect room for baby can be limiting at times. The good news is that, in lieu of a theme, color serves as a wonderful unifying element that can be parlayed as a great source of inspiration for the nursery’s décor. After all, a nursery party is not about staging a theme. It’s about celebrating that once-in-a-lifetime happiness of a beautiful baby.
