As you await the arrival of your little one, you may be filled with a mix of excitement and nerves. There are numerous ways to prepare for welcoming your bundle of joy into your home. While nesting, you may search for ideas and themes that resonate with your family. Fortunately, the year 2024 has brought a delightful array of design styles that are both timeless and whimsical. Let’s explore the top design trends for nurseries in 2024 that are sure to inspire warmth and creativity in your baby’s first room.
This term has been tossed around on social media, but what does it really entail? Cottagecore, known for its cozy and rustic aesthetic, has found its way into nursery design in 2024. With natural textures, soft colors, and vintage-inspired decor, the cottagecore trend creates a nurturing and serene environment for the little one.
Another trend that has been gaining popularity is gingham, adding a classic and playful vibe to nurseries. Whether it is through bedding, curtains, or upholstery, gingham feels nostalgic and comforting.
Hop on the trend with this year’s favorite nursery animal. Bunnies are nothing short of adorable and they make a cozy addition to a baby’s nursery. We are seeing bunny-themed wall art, bedding, or stuffed animals this year. These fluffy animals are hopping right into our hearts.
Maybe bunnies are not your style, but luckily mushrooms are another popular item this year. Mushrooms have emerged as a whimsical, gender-neutral theme for nurseries. Mushrooms add a playful and enchanting element to the baby’s room. They can be incorporated with mobiles, quilts, toys, and more.
Storybook themes remain a beloved choice for nurseries, as they bring characters and fairytale settings to life within the nursery walls. This can be achieved by focusing on one specific story or combining elements from multiple stories. A popular example currently is a classic Winnie the Pooh-inspired design. Storybook themes spark imagination and wonder, so consider taking a page out of your favorite storybook for your nursery design.
It’s cowboy boots and horses galore. If you are looking for a touch of adventure and nostalgia, I give you the Western theme. From cowboy-inspired decor to desert hues, the Western theme adds a lively spirit to the nursery. There are wallpaper designs with lassos and cowboys as bold as you could desire, or simpler patterns with horses and boots as well. There are so many different pieces of art and stuffed animals that could be included for your future cowboy or cowgirl.
Green, a color associated with growth and tranquility makes for a wonderful shade in a nursery. We are seeing a lot of green cribs as accent pieces, or the use of sage green as the primary theme. Regardless of how it is incorporated, green freshens up the space and makes a great gender-neutral option.
There is something so elegant and lovable about French style. Many little girls dream of going to Paris, and bringing a touch of Parisian grace to their nursery can bring them one step closer to that dream. Bows and antique pieces can help contribute to this look as well as a brass crib and paintings of the country.
Wallpaper is the key to bringing many themes to life. If you feel like your nursery is missing something, I encourage you to investigate different wallpaper options. There are so many different, adorable designs to choose from and accommodate any style that you are going for. You have the creative freedom to use as much or as little as you please. You may want to do an accent wall, an entire room, or half walls. Also, consider the texture and weight of your chosen wallpaper for design purposes.
Similar to considering wallpaper, murals offer a myriad of creative possibilities to transform nursery walls into captivating backdrops. Murals can speak for themselves, and you may not need much decoration beyond it. From nature-inspired motifs to enchanting illustrations, wall murals set the stage for personalized nursery spaces.
With rich colors, plaid prints, and nautical accents, the old-money theme creates a regal nursery ambiance. The good news is that you do not have to break the bank to look expensive. Vintage items at thrift stores are the ideal finds to complete the look. When drawing inspiration, think of Ralph Lauren and the classic American look.
People have been leaning towards multipurpose furniture in their nursery design. It provides practicality and versatility. It is important to remember that your newborn will not stay little forever and will eventually outgrow the crib, among other things. To make sure you are making purchases that will last, consider investing in pieces that can be used outside of the nursery. For instance, consider opting for a rocking chair and a dresser instead of a glider and a changing station. Some parents even choose to use toolboxes as diaper-changing stations, which can later be gifted to their children filled with tools.
Also known as “granny chic”, this trend offers a mix of vintage and contemporary elements, creating a charming and eclectic nursery space. A mixture of floral patterns, lace, and vintage-inspired furniture adds character and warmth to the nursery. You may find that you are transported back to your childhood, visiting your grandparents. It represents the magic of bringing the generations together as you welcome a new generation into your home.
Do not forget the details when designing your nursery. Curtains are useful to block natural light at unwanted times, but they are also versatile design elements. Different textures and patterns can have an impact on the ambiance of your nursery. Choosing soft textures, can soften the room and frame the nursery space with charm.
With a variety of delightful design trends to choose from, both existing parents and new parents have the opportunity to create nurseries that are not only stylish but also nurturing. Whether you decide to follow the trends or let your heart guide you in a different direction, there is endless inspiration for crafting a beautiful space for your little one to grow and thrive. Congratulations and all the best to your growing family!
