Designing a nursery is probably the most emotional (and let’s be real, slightly exhausting) part of prepping for a new baby. You want it to be peaceful, but also a place that sparks a bit of wonder. Whether you’re a fan of minimalist Scandi vibes or you want to paint a whole mountain range on the wall, I’ve rounded up nine incredible rooms to get those creative juices flowing. Grab a coffee, and let’s dive into these dreamy spaces!
1. Sage Arch
If you aren’t ready to commit to painting a whole room, this sage green arch is the ultimate “why didn’t I think of that?” move. It creates such a beautiful focal point behind the crib without making the room feel dark. I love how the blue curtains pop against the white walls—it’s such a fresh, gender-neutral palette. Plus, that sheepskin rug looks like the softest spot for some tummy time. It’s simple, clean, and totally sophisticated.
2. Glowy Comfort
Can we talk about the lighting here? Between the recessed ceiling light and that gorgeous oversized woven pendant, this room feels like a permanent sunset. It’s so warm and inviting. The crib is a total winner too—those built-in drawers are a lifesaver for storing extra sheets or those tiny socks that always go missing. This space is all about texture, from the jute rug to the knit throw, making it the perfect cozy cocoon.
3. Galaxy Sleep
This is every kid’s (and honestly, my) dream. The star and moon projection on the ceiling is absolutely magical. It turns bedtime into an event! I also really appreciate the built-in storage here. Having open shelving for teddy bears and books, combined with closed drawers for the less “aesthetic” baby gear, is a pro move. The blue wainscoting adds a touch of classic charm to a very modern, celestial-themed room.
4. Mountain Peak
I am officially obsessed with this mountain mural. It’s whimsical but still feels grounded because of the neutral grey and white tones. If you’re lucky enough to have a window view like this one, keeping the interior colors natural—like the wood crib and the sun decal—really brings the outdoors in. The round jute rug ties everything together, giving the whole room a “modern cabin” vibe that’s just so peaceful.
5. Modern Monochrome
This monochrome look is so chic and “cool-kid” ready. The dark wood floors against the white furniture look incredibly sharp. I love the playful touches like the giant Lego storage brick and the Batman poster—it shows that you can have a “designed” room that still feels like a fun place to grow up. The polar bear bust on the wall is the perfect finishing touch for this edgy, modern space.
6. Forest Friends
This room is for the nature lovers. The deep sage green walls are so calming, and the mix of white and warm wood in the dresser-crib combo is stunning. It feels like a little secret garden, especially with that big fiddle-leaf fig in the corner. The gallery wall of animal illustrations is such a sweet way to add personality. And let’s be honest, every nursery needs a rocking chair as comfortable-looking as this one for those late-night snuggles.
7. Moonlight Magic
This is boho-chic done perfectly. The rattan moon hanging on the wall is such a unique piece, and it pairs beautifully with the wicker armchair. The arched window lets in so much beautiful light, making the white dresser and minimalist decor really shine. It’s a very “breathable” room—nothing feels cluttered or heavy. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to sit down and read a bedtime story immediately.
8. Wild Adventure
If you want a room with high energy and personality, look no further than this chevron wallpaper. It’s bold, fun, and looks amazing paired with that giant stuffed giraffe! The white crib keeps things from feeling too busy, and the mustard yellow pillow adds just the right amount of “pop.” I also love the wooden ladder for holding blankets—it’s a great way to use vertical space for decor and storage.
9. Golden Stars
There is something so timeless about a blue room with gold stars. It’s a classic for a reason! The white crib and neutral curtains keep the focus on the starry walls and that amazing textured round rug. I love the addition of the small wooden stool and the grey pouf—it’s always a good idea to have low-profile seating options for when you’re playing on the floor with your little one. It’s bright, airy, and totally heavenly.
