And now, the functional corner of the room. All the rocking, burping and changing happens here. We found the perfect dresser and swapped the knobs to make it playful. The changing table has extra room for diapers and wipes. The Glider is in child proof sunbrella upholstery and it has performed as expected already. The floor lamp and the Miffy lamp have dimmers and are fitted with smart bulbs to be controlled by the phone.

Baby Pink and Mint Green Girl's Nursery

Nearly Natural, Inc.

Soft pinks, bright whites and a fresh, mint green wall are the perfect colors for this baby girl's nursery. Feminine bows on the crib, plush blankets and subtle patterns on the curtains make it easy for the child to grow up with the room. We found that simple posters, plush animals and faux florals are easy, safe ways to complement the shades of pink and green in the room. Featured in this gallery is the Nearly Natural Fancy Rose in pink. Add flowers to a nursery or playroom without having to worry about allergies, upkeep and water spills.

Upper East Side

Lindsay MacRae Interiors, LLC

This nursery was designed for a sweet baby girl on the Upper East Side. The client (mom) wanted the room to be appropriate for a little girl without being overly fussy. She has a more clean, modern aesthetic. The built-ins were added for storage and display space. The wallpaper activates the wall by adding a small tone on tone pattern.

This is a children's room with a nature-themed mural on the wall, featuring clouds, trees, and birds. A crib with a canopy stands on one side, while a wooden chest of drawers is placed by the window, holding stuffed animals. A brown chair is positioned in the corner, and a large cloud-shaped rug covers the floor. The room also has hanging pendant lights, one with a tassel detail.

Sierra Dallas Pastel Floral Nursery

Little Crown Interiors

This gorgeous and feminine pastel nursery was such a treat to work on. The floral wallpaper feature wall became the starting point for entire design. We chose to just use wallpaper on one accent wall to keep it from overwhelming the space. This room is medium in size and with just one window it's was important to keep the space bright with spacious feel. Opting for a white base in the wallpaper really helps keep the room have a light and airy feel. The other walls are painted in a sophisticated subtle light gray and it really makes that wallpaper stand out. The delicate print of the wallpaper incorporates lots of tones from the pink color family. That allowed for us to pull a bunch of different accents colors corals, peach, blush and different shades of pink - even a blush mauve into the other details of the room. All coming together in the wallpaper. A little glam was added with the mirrored gold name and the gold repeats with the side table. The delicate blush mobile just gorgeous and really underlines the themes of this feminine nursery. Photos: Michelle Bongirno Photography

Newcastle Primary Bedroom & Nursery

Cathie Hong Interiors

This project was executed remotely in close collaboration with the client. The primary bedroom actually had an unusual dilemma in that it had too many windows, making furniture placement awkward and difficult. We converted one wall of windows into a full corner-to-corner drapery wall, creating a beautiful and soft backdrop for their bed. We also designed a little boy’s nursery to welcome their first baby boy.

Planning a nursery is an exciting time for parents, but it can be confusing without the right guidance. Houzz is a great place to start, as you can browse our extensive image gallery of nursery designs, as well as find qualified Kids & Nursery Designers who can help make your ideas a reality. We’ve put together some handy tips so you can get inspired and plan the baby room of your dreams.

Which Essential Elements Should a Baby Room Have?

When browsing through pictures of nurseries on Houzz, you’ll notice a common theme: They usually all include similar pieces of furniture and decor. You can’t go past a cot, changing table and a dresser. Whatever you’re after, you’ll be sure to find something for your taste, even if you’re limited by a small space or need to make it work on a budget. Another aspect to remember is practicality. You want to make sure you have enough storage so you can have a clutter (and trip-hazard!) free space, and you want to have everything within easy reach when it comes to changing nappies so you don’t risk your baby rolling off the change table while you turn around reaching for the baby wipes. Think about practical furniture: closets without doors, open shelves and furniture and walls that are easy to clean should be your go-to’s.

Decorating and Choosing the Right Colour

Choosing colours is a big one. These days, you’re not limited to blue for a baby boy or pink for a baby girl - a lot of nurseries are actually held gender-neutral and you may be decorating without knowing the gender. Unisex colours are on the rise, as well as feature walls with inspirational artwork and themes that encourage exploration. The possibilities are endless - whether you go for a travel theme with clouds, a nature environment with mountains and trees, or animals like elephants or owls to tell your little one good night, you’ll be able to find wallpapers, decals and decorations to suit. Also consider a nice, soft rug for when your baby starts crawling.

A Cosy Room can Promote Better Sleep

Being able to create nighttime-like darkness, peace and quiet at anytime of day could be something you’ll be thankful for later if your baby doesn’t want to go to sleep when it’s bright and guests are around, so think about lighting and soundproofing. A pair of heavy curtains could do the trick, and if you add a cute nightlight you can evoke an even more peaceful mood. The temperature and humidity of the room can also be major factors when it comes to sleeptime - too hot, too cold, too humid or dry? Make sure you can easily regulate the room temperature and have warm blankets handy in winter. You may also want to invest in a dehumidifier or vaporiser - these may earn extra points for white noise, too!

Planning for the Future

Keep in mind that a baby will not be a baby room for long - they grow fast! Depending on how long you keep your baby with you, you may not even have a separate room and directly jump to sharing with their sibling. Keep in mind that you may be planning for a more grown-up kids room soon, and your baby doesn’t really care about the decor of the room as much as you do. Choose items you like and go for furniture that you’ll be able to move to different rooms later if you can.
