Nursery, Baby Room, and Kid's Room Decorating Ideas

Gorgeous Grey Nurseries

Even though it is summer, we are seeing grey – but in a good way! Grey baby nurseries are all the rage and it’s easy to see why. Grey is a gorgeous neutral that pairs well with traditional nursery colors like pink, blue, and yellow, as well as modern colors like turquoise and orange.

Grey and Hot Pink Nursery

Mom of Mila from Mommy and Mila’s blog knew she wanted to use chevron in her hot pink and grey nursery decor. With this pattern, she chose 3 colors for her baby girl’s nursery – pink, gray & white. How gorgeous is this nursery? Mom made the “M” in Mila with flowers, hot pink ribbon and a paper mache “M” from JoAnn Fabrics which is so striking against the horizontal stripe painted wall with Behr interior flat in Serengeti dust and Behr high gloss in Compass.

Grey and Blue Nursery

For something a bit more subtle, this grey and blue baby room fits the bill. The classic grey crib is stunning in this room as an owl on a branch wall decal overlooks the crib. We also love the two-toned painted wall in blue-grey and grey separated by a white chair rail. Beautiful!

Grey and Turquoise Nursery

Back to the bold look and a more modern take, we love this aqua and grey nursery. The mom of this baby boy room was decorating for her third boy so she wanted something a little different. Her grey paint is Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, her baby bedding was custom made by a family friend, and her elephant prints from Etsy.

Not by Land, but by Sea with Under the Sea Wall Decals

If you have the beach on your mind, check out these gorgeous under the sea themed baby nurseries featuring weeDECOR’s Under the Sea wall decal collection. Though we may be biased, these cute sea creatures bring such life to these nurseries that you can’t help but make you smile.

Under the Sea Wall Mural Decals from weeDECOR

Bria’s nursery is perfectly pretty in pink featuring our octopus wall decal, our sea turtle wall decal, fish wall decals, and mama and baby whale wall decals. We’re also loving that precious sea turtle pillow accenting the nursing rocker and the bright pink curtains adorning the window. Bria Grace is spelled with our smiley wall decal letters to add that personal touch to this baby girl ocean themed nursery.

Under the Sea Wall Decal Mural from weeDECOR

Baby boy Sam also has a fabulous ocean themed baby room. Bold navy blues, bright greens, and fresh orange and yellow pop off the light blue painted walls above the white wainscoting. The drapery is also fabulous in this room as sea creatures dance across the top on a valence. And, note the whale wall decal on top of the white toy box – extra cute! Sam’s room is adorned with weeDECOR’s Under the Sea Wall Decal Mural featuring all of your favorite sea critters that can be arranged on the wall to your liking.

Sam’s mom tells us, “We love your decals. This is the second time I have used them and I will definitely use them again!”.

We are so glad!

Our Picks for the Best Modern Baby Cribs of 2013

Our Best Modern Baby Cribs post was so popular that we decided to take a look at what fabulous, new modern cribs have come on the market.

Babyletto Hudson Modern Crib

Ah! The Babyletto Hudson modern crib is one of our favorites, not only is the design sleek and chic, the color grey hip and modern, but the price is right! Retailing at under $400, it’s hard to go wrong if you’re in the market for an affordable modern crib. You can find this crib on sale on Gilt.com every so often for the shopping savvy.

Papaya Modern Crib

Though hardly as affordable, the Papaya modern crib by Dutailier is a stunner. Dramatic in presence, Canadian based Dutailier is also known for their super comfy nursing chairs. This contemporary-styled crib comes in multiple finishes such as red, white, natural, and espresso. And, it can come two-toned as featured here in red and natural.

Sniglar Ikea Modern Crib

For style and price, Ikea rarely lets us down. Ikea’s Sniglar modern crib above retails for $70. How hard is that to beat? This airy styled modern crib is light

Sparrow Oeuf Modern Crib

Another fabulous brand of modern crib is Oeuf. Though their Sparrow crib has been out for some time, it is still on the top of our list in beauty. We love the versatility in the design as it can work with both a modern or eclectic collection of nursery furniture. For example, the nursery featured above pairs the Sparrow crib with a vintage dresser and an ethnic storage basket beautifully.

Stokke Sleepi Modern Crib

And, finally, we would be remiss if we did not include the Stokke Sleepi crib on our list of modern baby cribs, simply due to its unique shape. You can start with a round bassinet and gradually expand the crib into an oval and then to a toddler bed as your child grows. The downside is that you need special bedding given the odd-sized crib mattress.

Pretty Pink Fabrics for the Nursery

weeDECOR designer Stacy Iest Hsu is known not only for the fabulous designs she’s created for weeDECOR wall decals, but for her fabric designs as well. See her collection on Spoonflower to see more of her inspiring collection. We’ve chosen a few of our favorites to feature in our pretty pink nursery fabric post which we think you will agree is well beyond the traditional pretty in pink baby room look.

We love this festive pink pattern, particularly whimiscal pink pattern for a throw pillow or quilt blocks. Celery green, watermelon pink, pale pink, peach, and grey create a collage of colors that can add delight to a nursery with any of the aforementioned base colors. For example, if you paint your walls pale pink, this pattern could bring a burst of color to the room. Likewise, if you paint it light grey, you’ll see similar results.

Grey is the new brown when it comes to pairing pink with a neutral color in your baby girl’s nursery. This grey fabric with pink and white flowers can bring a more classic feel to a modern grey. We can envision this fabric

If playful is your style, this little piggy nursery fabric is too cute to pass up if you are decorating a piglet themed baby nursery. Details such as a helicopter hat for the little boy pig, a mommy pig pushing a baby piglet in a vintage baby stroller, and a girl pig holding a green umbrella are too cute to pass up.

Inspired by pom poms, this precious pastel pink and white pattern of dots and heart pom poms called Funny Bunny Pom Pom Pink will make any little girl’s heart sing. We like this pattern for baby bedding for a traditional girl’s nursery accented with white ribbons

Pretty Aqua Baby Rooms – a Modern Take on Traditional Blue

We couldn’t help but notice a trend in aqua baby rooms. Bright and cheery, aqua can serve as a neutral color as it can handle many accent colors. See some gorgeous aqua nurseries we have found below.

Aqua and Pink Baby Nursery

This aqua and pink baby nursery was designed by Mama Souter for her baby girl, Harper. Mama Souter said she wanted, a “sweet girly vintage feel with a few modern touches”. What a success! The frilly crib skirt with the vintage birds on the crib bumper are darling and were sewed by her mother-in-law. Her husband painted the tree mural peeking out in the corner of the photo. We love the texture of her bubble gum pink colored rug from Pottery Barn Kids. Note the shade of aqua paint on the walls is on the green side of aqua which lends itself to a minty-fresh look. Yummy!

Aqua and Yellow Baby Nursery

For a more gender neutral feel, see this aqua and yellow baby room by Susan Weinroth. Bright and bold, we love the two-toned turquoise walls that show off a deep aqua on the bottom half and a lighter shade of aqua paint of the top half to better reflect the light in the room. We are also fans of the giraffe lamp with a bold yellow lampshade.

Aqua and White Nursery

Back to the girly-girl baby room look, this pristine aqua and white nursery, close to a Tiffany blue, incorporates different patterns to add depth and dimension. Aqua and white polka dots, zig zaps, and fun alphabet wallpaper bring the “wow” to this nursery. This nursery, shown in vintage style, can easily be made to look more modern with modern furniture and other modern baby room decor elements.

Aqua and Orange Nursery Decor

Speaking of modern nursery decor, an aqua and orange nursery is a great way to go all out modern. See Cate Create designed her son Sawyer’s nursery in teal and orange with a woodsy theme featuring owls, squirrels, and deer. She made the mobile herself by cutting out leaves and stringing them together like garland. She hand-stamped the nursery pillows, framed the animal silhouettes, and made the owl pillow out of a towel and scrap fabric – a great DIY nursery!

Nautical Themed Baby Rooms Inspire Us to Sail Away!

To us, the coming of summer means water, water everywhere. Whether that be the ocean, the lake, or the pool, we couldn’t help but be inspired by nautical themed nursery decor for a little boy’s baby room. See some of our both classic and modern nautical decor finds to inspire you, too!

A Nautical Themed Nursery in Pale Blue and Green by Little Crown Interiors

Designed by nursery decor specialists’ Little Crown Interiors, this modern nautical themed nursery is light and airy with pale blue wall paint, white wainscoting, and hints of navy blue, red, and lime green to bring forth visual contrast. We love the boat shaped book shelf and the hand painted toy box featuring cute sea creatures, and fish book ends on an ocean-feeling nightstand.

A Blue and White Striped Nautical Themed Nursery

For more classic looking nautical themed baby room decor, see this one! A bold navy blue and white striped painted wall and a gorgeous wall decal with an anchor and personalized element bring this nursery to life. We also appreciate the drawers for nursery storage underneath the crib to keep the room looking tidy and maintaining function.

A Nautical Nursery in Navy Blue with Yellow Accents by Laura Marchbanks Photography

If rustic nursery decor is your style, this rustic nautical nursery may be just the style you are seeking. The dark navy blue walls set the stage for vintage boat pictures, mobiles, and fishing hooks are used as hangers. The yellow rug helps liven up the pristine navy and white color scheme.

A Nautical Themed Nursery in Navy and Red by HGTV's Erinn Valencich

And, we didn’t want to forget the traditional nautical look. This red, white, and blue nautical nursery was designed by HGTV’s Erinn Valencich and incorporates many classic decor elements such as a traditional espresso colored crib, a rug with a compass in the center, and a gorgeous model sailboat on top of a shelving unit. Delightful!

For more nautical or boat themed nursery decorating ideas, see our sailboat wall decals and our star monogram wall decal, both of which would work well in a nautical themed room.
