Pink tan and neutral nursery for a sweet little girl. Wanted to invest in window treatments that would work well for a nursery but grow with the child. Added a wall of wallpaper for dimension and sparkle.

Irene Khan's Floral Nursery

Little Crown Interiors

We started this design with a clean slate of high ceilings and white walls which was perfect for installing floral wallpaper on an accent wall. The wallpaper is removable and features an oversized floral pattern in soft blush and light pink tones, and the leaves a soft sage green. The gorgeous crib and dresser both from Newport Cottages has gold and acrylic hardware and were the centerpiece of the design. We added gold and blush decor and accents throughout the space the match the furniture. The client had her heart set on a blush glider. Looking through custom fabrics from Best Home Furnishing we found the perfect shade. With delicate tufted back the gilder is really stands out. The gold framed large family photos really makes a big impact in the space. The off white velvet blackout curtains have a luxurious feel and paired the golden curtain it fits the space perfectly.

Etienne Interiors

This nursery by Etienne Interiors features a transitional design which is fresh, modern and follows the trend of nurseries that look anything but. The client wanted to incorporate a colour scheme of black, white, gray and gold. Etienne Interiors infused this colour scheme with a pop of Kelly green to enliven the space with an otherwise mono tonal palette. The elephant theme was also updated by using graphic interpretations in black, white and gold. The overall feel of the room is very chic with the addition of the jet black campaign dresser and nightstand. The mid century inspired lighting with brass accents tie into the case goods pieces and provide a soft glow to the room for a sense of calm.

This nursery was designed for maximum style on a realistic budget. Hand blocked wallpaper was added to the ceiling to give it a slight Moroccan feel and then contrasted with the chinoiserie drapery and splatter painted slipcover on a nursery glider.

The canopy created with window treatments can be used for a reading nook. Later, a desk or bench can be added below the window.

Bungalow Nursery Closet

User

Designed by Greg Cetera of Closet Works The sloped ceiling in this room creates a cozy atmosphere perfect for a child’s nursery. The problem was that the room originally had no closet. One of the angled walls, however, contained an alcove for accessing the radiant heat system pipes and controls. Adding a closet to a room with a sloped ceiling and walls can present difficulties under the best circumstances. Adding access to the radiant heating system might make some designers throw in the towel, but Closet Works professionals are equal to any challenge.

Browse Baby Room Ideas on Houzz

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 Transitional Baby Room Have?

When browsing through pictures of transitional 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.
