The term nursery can mean many things - in England can refer to a quasi-educational establishment for kiddos too young to be in school. To clarify the modern nurseries we are referring to are in the home and it’s best you know that modern nurseries are actually bedrooms within a house or other dwelling set aside for an infant or toddler. Here are ten great ideas:
Complete with a baby hanger and a nursing chair, this Nordic-esque nursery is ideal for those wishing to hop on the trend of the gender-neutral aesthetic. Grey, white and sage green embellishments keep the nursery straightforward yet sophisticated. Perfect for those who don’t wish to sacrifice style over simplicity.
The beauty of this nursery lies in its minimalism. The simple bassinet, bed-side table and baby pink chair compliment the contemporary aesthetic, while the hanging clouds, birdhouses and toys add a little adornment without becoming all-encompassing.
The neutral tones, floor-length windows and open space give this nursery an undeniably bright and airy feel. No need to go overboard with colours, simply let the natural light and modern embellishments, such as the rocking horse, hanging stars, and toy bears do the talking.
A bedroom fit for a queen! This bed is what dreams are made of, with the overhanging curtains creating their own little kingdom. Simplicity once again reigns supreme with minimal decorations and pastel colours furnishing the room to perfection. Modernity at its finest.
For those who appreciate a little artistic decor, this one’s for you! From animal-themed pictures to funky cushions, this nursery manages to be fun without being frumpy. The neutral tones and pastel pink complement each other exquisitely, creating a truly contemporary nursery. The circular rug immediately brings your attention to the centre of the room, creating an intimate conversation and play-area.
Combining the traditional with the contemporary, this is the perfect hybrid for those who aren’t ready to fully embrace every aspect of the modern nursery. The soft yellow cushioning of the rattan papasan chair, the dusty pink of the half-moon wall canopy, and the shades of cyan blue dotted around the room, create a feeling of cosiness and warmth.
Characterised by simplicity, minimalism and functionality, this Scandi themed nursery is the epitome of modernity. Neutral colours, simple lines and woven baskets allow you to achieve functionality without forsaking beauty. There’s a reason this style has become so popular! All the class of a modern nursery with no clutter!
I have one word for this; epic! A house inside a house, it doesn’t get cooler than that! While this may not be to everyone’s tastes, it is undeniably fun and is sure to go down a treat with your child and their play-fellows. Particularly ideal for those who are short on outdoor space, with the fake plants and starry wallpaper adding to that outdoorsy feeling.
Now, what nursery would be complete without an inspirational quote or two adorning the room! After all, it is important to instil such positivity at a young age, even subliminally. The chandelier is definitely worth a mention, acting as the statement piece for the room, and stopping it from feeling clustered. Keep colours fairly neutral and let the quotes do all the talking with this one!
The colour blue is and will always be utterly timeless. And that is why it fits in so well to this modern nursery. The different hues serve as the perfect backdrop for the cot and the wall art, breaking up the room and adding a touch of class.
