Nursery Design Secrets

Baby nursery interior design trends to get on board with this month

Planning a nursery this year? These are the four directions worth knowing about. None of them will date.

Statement Beds

The bed as the centrepiece of the room, not an afterthought. Design platform Houzz reported that searches for statement headboards increased by approximately 87% last year, and the energy has moved into children's rooms too. When your little one is ready to transition from their cot, choose something that fills the room with personality. A bed shaped like a plane, a hot air balloon, a train. Something they will want to climb into. Something they will remember.

See our beds at The Baby Cot Shop.

CUTE ‘N COSY CLASSROOM

Nurseries are no longer just for sleeping. This year the room divides into zones, a reading corner here, a learning hub there, alphabet and number details woven into the décor. The idea is simple: surround them with things that spark curiosity from the very beginning. A room that teaches without feeling like school.

See how we do it.

BOTANICAL BABY ROOM OASIS

Pinterest flagged biophilic design as one of the biggest trends of the year, and it translates beautifully into nurseries. Bringing nature indoors, through floral wallpapers, nature-themed wall art, and sustainable materials, creates a sense of calm that benefits the whole family. You do not need a plant wall. A few considered choices are enough to change the feeling of a room entirely.

SAFARI-THEMED DECOR

The Happy Linen Company reported that searches for safari crib bedding increased by approximately 100% last year. It is not hard to see why. Safari theming works across every element of a nursery, wallpaper, wall art, linen, soft toys, and it works equally well for boys and girls. Giraffes, elephants, wild open plains. A room that feels like an adventure before they are old enough to go on one.
