Modern Nursery Style

Want to create a mod nursery but don’t know where to start? Our tips will help you create a modern nursery that is simple, carefree, and perfect for your little modern boy or girl.

tot trends weekly A modern nursery starts with the crib. Choose a crib that is made of natural woods, has clean lines and simple structure. We love the Oeuf Convertible Crib. This environmentally friendly crib is also high on safety with its fixed siderails and low center of gravity. This crib will grow with your child as it converts to a toddler bed for longer use.

Choose a mellow wall color such as light pastels, grays, or browns as a backdrop for beautiful modern artwork with bright colors like that from Avalisa. Bedding should be ruffle free (no need for crib skirts!) and should include geometric shapes or patterns. You can also add a bright colored area rug to bring mod flair to the room.

A great example is the Nurseryworks Storytime Rocker for the nursery and as your child grows you can move it to the great room.

Cost can get in the way in designing the modern nursery of your dreams…we say pick one piece that you cant live without that is pricey and then add a few low priced basics. Ikea is a great place to shop for Modern finds like bedding and accessories. You can also use paint as your wall ‘art’ to cut down on costs…think oranges, bright red, yellows and lime greens.

Remember simplicity and serenity is key when creating a mod nursery…and most of all have fun!
