5 Trends For Nursery Decorating: Looks You and Baby Will Love


Congratulations, you’re having a baby! Has the thought of decorating the nursery crossed your mind? If this particular item is low on your agenda, perhaps a little inspiration is needed to get the ball rolling on crafting the perfect room to welcome home your baby. Below are 5 popular nursery trends of 2016:  

Back By Popular Demand: Pastels 

Pantone named both “rose quartz” and “serenity” as colors of the year for 2016, an homage to traditional newborn boy and girl colors, if you will. That being said, gone are the days of blue for boys and pink for girls; these hues can be used together in the room or as accent colors. 

If Cribs Could Talk 

“Statement cribs” are a trend on the rise in nurseries everywhere. The crib is often the focal point of the room, so make this the “foundation” piece that you will decorate the rest of the nursery around. These cribs tend to be asymmetric or geometric in shape.

Natural Wood Accents 

The look of natural wood has become quite the popular accessory, whether it be furniture pieces or wall decor. The use of natural wood creates a rugged yet chic accent in your baby’s room, giving it a more calming atmosphere. Go as far as a wood accent wall completely or as little as a wooden crib or rocking chair.

It’s 2016, People 

Modern, streamlined aesthetics are making quite the statement among baby nurseries this year. More and more we are seeing clean, symmetrical lines and complimentary color schemes. According to lullabypaints.com, “this trend in the nursery is sudden...it’s been kind of shocking to see how many reflect this ‘cleaner’ nursery style”. 

Dream On 

Celestial objects -- the sun, the moon, and stars -- are popular accents to use in your baby’s room. These convey a calming environment by way of shapes babies are drawn to visually. After all, it is a nursery; there has to be some kind of “awwww” factor!
