Wow! Loving this Unique Nursery Shelving Idea

Loving This Unique Nursery Storage Idea

This combination of nursery shelves as a way to create a decorative wall piece and serve as a functional storage solution is simply too beautiful not to share. Simply Yvonne provides a stunning view of these cute shelves in her baby’s nursery and we’re oh-so-glad she did! A yellow-green tinged wall paint provides a neutral background for the bright white shelves, perfectly spaced to create a delightful montage of baby related eye-candy. Each of the gorgeous little dresses in and of themselves create visual interest, let alone the collection of frames and stuffed animals along the shelves.

Your eyes catch sight of the gorgeous photography of her little one and the related mementos. Books, standing picture frames, a piggy bank and more make each shelf that much more interesting. We also love the lime green Japanese lantern peeking out from the ceiling above.

If you have a small space or your baby’s room lacks a closet, this is a great way to improvise without sacrificing any aesthetic. Thanks for the idea, Simply Yvonne!

Brown and Pink Damask Nursery by Girl Inspired

Pale Pink and Brown Classic Nursery by the Girl Inspired

We always “ooh” and “ah” when we see a nursery decorated with damask and this nursery is no different. Check out the Girl Inspired’s Brown and Pink Damask Nursery designed by Girl Inspired herself. We love the use of the damask wallpaper on an accent wall. It brings such depth to the room without overwhelming the space.

Girl Inspired left no stone unturned when it came to using her space and the decorative elements to its utmost potential. The delicate touches are all here – classic espresso chocolate furniture and shelves, a hanging mobile of bird’s on a branch, a nursery glider in a pale pink toile print, fabric wall letters on the shelves, and more. Woven storage baskets tuck neatly in their cubbies, a crystal chandelier hangs elegantly from the ceiling, a soft lamb pillow chair is placed under the window, and nostalgic knick-knacks of jewelry boxes, piggy banks, and picture frames sit on shelves to make the room feel cozy and warm. It’s hard not too “ooh” and “ah”.

Who is the Girl Inspired you ask and where can you see more? Check out her lovely design-oriented blog for ideas on crafts, sewing and more.

Our Picks for Cute Big Kid Beds

Transitioning your toddler to a big kid bed is a momentous occasion. So, why not make the experience more fun and exciting for your little one (and for you) with these creative takes on a toddler bed.

For high style, modern design, consider this white toddler bed from Oeuf. The sleek lines scream contemporary décor and you can choose from a lighter birch or darker walnut wood finish depending on your taste.

Toddler Bed - Oeuf

For a touch more fun, see this modern toddler bed from Rafa Kids. The wheels add an extra touch of fun as your toddler can imagine sleeping in a bed shaped like a car and practical as they make moving the bed around the room easier.

For a vintage look, this crib converted to a toddler bed or day bed is particularly unique when a canopy is added. We are in love with the red and white polka dot schematic that adds a festive look to the décor. Add other bright colors like pink and yellow and polka dot wall decals to turn your room into confetti-filled fun.

Crib Canopy - Johanna Vintage

While we’re on the topic on vintage take a peek at this toddler bed from a photo taken by Johan Lindberg. This retro big kid’s bed is offset by an eclectic mix of décor including rattan baskets for storage, classic steps stools for play, and modern wall art adorning the room. The bright, solid yellow carpet pulls everything together nicely.

We go Bah-Bah over Sheep Nursery Décor

One of the sweetest classic themes in nursery décor is the quintessential little lamb. So classic. So perfect for your little one. We just couldn’t help taking notice of so many beautiful baby nurseries incorporating this theme!

Aside from being simple and sweet, we appreciate the gender and color neutrality the sheep design element brings to a baby’s room. Since most sheep come in white, you can add almost any accent color of your liking.

For example, see this lovely grey and white sheep themed nursery designed for Charlotte in Austin, TX. The rich, elegant furnishings from Restoration Hardware Baby and Child bring a classic touch to a relatively modern color scheme.

For a bolder look, consider black and white sheep décor as highlighted by Joni Lay on BHG.com. Bold, black accents such as the lamp and dresser shown in this inspiration board can make quite an impact. And, babies are attracted to high contrast colors which make this nursery that much more attractive.

Baa Baa Black Sheep - Better Homes & Gardens

For a softer, more classic look, see how entertaining and lifestyle expert Jenny Steffens Hobick used pale blue and classic lamb décor from Pottery Barn Kids to decorate her lamb themed baby room. We especially like the lamb rocker—just darling!

Emma's Nursery - Jenny Steffens Hobick

And, weeDECOR has several sheep wall decal designs to help augment your nursery décor. Our jumping sheep wall decal has three little sheep jumping over fences onto blades of grass. We also have a personalized sheep decal to make your baby’s nursery feel even more unique.

Light It Up with Inspiring Nursery Lighting

Lighting can be an easy way to add a bit of pizzazz to your nursery or kid’s room.

We are big fans of lanterns which not only serve a functional purpose of light, but add a festive look to any room. The beautiful spheres add billowy playfulness to the room that is difficult to do with other types of décor. Paper lanterns come in so many shapes and colors that it is easy to find a combination that suits your fancy. Let your creativity guide you!

Bamboo Lantern - David Trubridge Design

We found this regal-looking chandelier at Land of Nod—perfect for your little princess. The delicate glass beads would look just gorgeous hanging in the center of a room and they would glisten with perfection at the hint of sun or moonlight. Since this light is made of glass it would work with any color scheme you choose.

Top Tier Chandelier – Land of Nod

If you’re looking for something different, get inspired by this nursery designed by Calgary designer Alykhan Velji. He is the creative genius behind this “wow” nursery and the use of a warehouse lamp to add delight to the room. You might be able to find something similar at your local antique store. While we’re at it, we also love the use of a non-traditional color palette of white, grey, and yellow.

Porcelain Stem Light - Benjamin Dino

And if you’d like to keep it low key, we like this simple, neutral pendant light from Ikea. Not only does it have a great price ($29.99), the design is such that it would work in a variety of styled rooms.
