THE PERFECT BABY NURSERY
We tell you the four essentials you need to build a baby nursery, tailored to fit every mother’s needs
The basic idea, while designing a baby nursery, is to achieve a look that is comfortable, clean, sleek and makes a statement without being too busy. Indeed, it is a child’s space but it is also a continuation of your home’s aesthetics. Let’s give you the four basics of what it pertains.
Keep it simple
Most people go for classic themed nurseries like zoo, jungle or circus, that tend to look over designed. For achieving a perfect nursery stay away from themes. Think of the style you gravitate towards and the colors and textures will soon come together in a sophisticated manner. When selecting nursery furniture consider something sleek and elegant such as a mid-century style. Make sure you have ample storage that will make your nursery more organized and clean.
Use a neutral palette and bright colors as accents
A nursery need not be the traditional pink and blue; think more modern. Keep the color scheme limited to neutral tones and use bright colors as accents through accessories. Another key reason to tone down colors is for functionality purposes; the nursery will soon transform to a room for a toddler which is why keeping it simple is a safe bet.

Make a statement through three key elements
Less is more – while designing your nursery bring in a maximum of three key elements. Innovative lighting, oversized motifs on the walls, quirky framed walls, a designer crib, a bold fabric pattern or even an oriental rug are a few ways to make a statement. Carefully select where these key elements will be used to ensure it doesn’t look overcrowded in one place.
Don’t forget comfort
You are well aware that soon you will be spending a whole lot of your time in the nursery which is why you cannot compromise on comfort. A soft carpet for your baby while he/she is learning to crawl, furry textures used as throws, blankets and pillows, that will make you both feel like curling up, are essential. They will also bring in some texture. Invest in a good armchair or rocker, as well, which will come handy, especially while feeding.
