The Baby Cot Shop's Top Autumn 2021 Nursery Trends

As the weather cools and we introduce puffer jackets, knitted jumpers and adorable mittens into our little one’s wardrobes, autumn also calls for a nursery refresh. To kick things off, take note of the top nursery décor trends that’ll give you all the snuggly season vibes…   

TREND #1: INTERIORS OF HOPE

autumn trends 1 This autumn, mums are loving our exclusive nursery trend Interiors of Hope – The Baby Cot Shop’s answer to positive, joyous décor. The lowdown? Symbols and meaningful visuals that celebrate motherhood, inspirational messages and feelings of hope (without sacrificing on style, of course). Meet the Interiors of Hope nursery trends that are big news right now: rainbows, hot air balloons and sunflowers. These represent happiness, innocence and the magic of childhood, whilst looking super-cute in every nursery. Treat your little prince or princess to an Interiors of Hope makeover – the final result will be a cosy, elegant and adorable haven that makes you smile every time you walk in. This nursery trend is all about that ‘keep calm and carry on’ message, one us mums find uplifting and calming. Get the look Sunflower Height Chart Hope Rainbow Print Voyages Hot Air Balloon Print  

TREND #2: ABCs & 123s

autumn trends 2 With autumn in full swing, which sees us playing inside more, we like to call this time of year sensory season. Why? Well, it’s the perfect time to invest in educational, development-focused décor, toys and fabrics as your baby or child spends more time playing and exploring. What’s more, earlier this year, Etsy reported that educational and sensory toys are growing in popularity and will be a key trend for autumn 2021. Looking for nursery décor that teaches your baby as they grow? The Baby Cot Shop specialises in the most charming, practical pieces that encourage learning and imagination, from alphabet wall prints to hanging numerical decorations. Mums love the ABCs & 123s trend when styling their child’s nursery – and it’s easy to see why.   Get the look Animal Alphabet Framed Print Bean Bag Pouf ABC Natural Numbers Wall Decoration  

TREND #3: AUTUMNAL HUES

autumn trends 3 Here at The Baby Cot Shop, we love autumn for its warm colour palette. That’s right, this season is full of pumpkin orange shades, mustard yellow hues and dusty browns – and we can’t get enough! These deep, rich tones are perfect for featuring in any nursery, plus they blend in beautifully with neutral, muted backdrops. You may also want to incorporate nods to nature in your autumnal nursery, be it through rustic wooden furniture, foliage, trees and leaf designs or woodland wildlife toys. One thing’s for certain, when you inject a dose of autumn into their snuggly setting, you’ll be giving the space all those hygge vibes you’ve seen on Pinterest.

The trend that boomed last autumn isn’t going anywhere. Say hello to cottagecore and The Baby Cot Shop’s nursery edition – mini cottagecore. Mini cottagecore celebrates the British countryside and takes inspiration from traditional cottage interior design, making it bespoke to your baby’s room. Giving us all the nostalgic ‘90s feels, look out for elements of vintage-style furniture, neutral colour schemes, floral designs and whimsical prints that transport you to a rural escape. Apply it to your little dreamer’s space and you’ll capture a sense of charm, simplicity and cosiness. What could be more chic?
