Nursery Design Secrets

Traditional British nursery items to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee

It’s the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and there’s lots to celebrate! Here at The Baby Cot Shop, we’re showcasing the most traditionally British nursery essentials to mark the big occasion. Read on to discover the most luxurious items that will always remind you of this historic event… 


Balmoral Cot Bed

There’s nothing more majestic than the Balmoral Cot Bed. Curved headboards, plush velvet fabric and classic wood exterior (the list goes on), this is no ordinary cot. Inspired by the Regency Era and all things regal, this has our stamp of approval for a royal-inspired room. The best bit? You can choose the colour of the upholstery yourself, from tea rose to silver matte. We’re doting over this newly launched cot bed, which will never go out of style. If you’re as obsessed with it as we are, then hurry – it’s a hot pick at the moment…

Balmoral Wall Crown 

Mark the milestone of the Queen becoming the first British Monarch to reign for 70 years with the Balmoral Wall Crown. This statement wall crown oozes elegance, acting as a wall mount for a charming canopy to delicately droop over their cot, bed, reading or play corner. Parents love it for adding glamour and prestige to even the most subtle, simple settings. There’s nothing more spectacular to wow in their room this Bank Holiday and beyond…

Royal Blue Collection Canopy 

Fan of ornate nurseries? We say the more elaborate the better. Canopies are the perfect way to inject a sense of magic and enchantment into baby rooms – and this one was made for royal nurseries. Bold and beautiful, the Royal Blue Collection Canopy showcases an authentic royal blue colour, which is actually named this as it was created for a dress worn by Queen Charlotte. 


London Grey Cushion 

Aptly named after the city the Queen resides in, the London Grey Cushion is a great gift to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee. It’s a dual-purpose nursery pick too, dressing their cot in the day, whilst acting as a lower back support when you’re sitting in a rocking chair in the evening. You’ll love the smart grey shade complete with white piping, which seamlessly matches any room’s colour scheme. 

Cottage Nightlight

Cottagecore – the typically British décor trend we’re loving right now. It also reminds us of the Queen, because she loves residing in lavish countryside estates. To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, grab this charming Cottage Nightlight – it gently glows and creates a cosy atmosphere that helps them feel safe and snug (meaning they’re more likely to sleep better). Customise it with your child’s name on to mark the momentous event. 

Luxury Rocking Horse in Mahogany 

Many choose memorabilia for the Platinum Jubilee, but we think grabbing the Luxury Rocking Horse in Mahogany is a more practical option. Your little one will love playing with a rocking horse like this, which was known to be loved by generations of young royals (the Queen herself had one that she shared with Princess Margaret in their childhood). It’ll be one of those nursery items you cherish for a long time, whilst always reminding you of the royal family.
