Decorating a nursery can be one of the most exciting aspects of preparing for the arrival of a baby. From deciding on a theme to picking the perfect color palette, there are so many things to consider to make it perfect for your new arrival.
To lend a helping hand and offer some inspiration, the team at Your Baby Club have scoured social media to find the top interior trends to help assist you in decorating your home nursery. Here’s the trends they discovered.
Neutral Nursery
Crisp, clean and comforting, neutral nurseries are proving extremely popular on social media. Google searches for “neutral nursery: have increased by 1,700% over the past few months. On TikTok, the hashtag #neutralnursey has amassed a colossal 107.7 million views, proving that it’s a top trend for the season ahead.
Soft, muted color palettes like beige, white and gray are the core of neutral nurseries. These colors provide a blank canvas for you to be creative with personal touches and additions once the little one arrives. To add a touch of color, sage greens, pastels, ivory and taupe are a few options that still stick to the neutral scheme but can be adapted as your baby grows and starts to develop a personality.
Forest Theme
Wood accents, natural textures, graphic wallpaper and woodland creatures are all elements of a forest-themed nursery. It seems that the whimsical woodland theme is a top trend of the year for those looking for online inspiration too, with Pinterest searches up by 53%.
Top tip: To bring a touch of true nature into the space, indoor plants can be the perfect option. Not only do they look great, but they can also remove toxins from the air, as they are natural air purifiers. Plants safe to decorate nurseries with include the parlor palm, spider plant and money tree.
Vintage Nursery
The aim is to create a space that feels safe, welcoming and tranquil for your little one. By incorporating a touch of tradition using floral print wallpaper, blush pinks, sage greens and wooden accents, you can bring a rustic, vintage feel to your space. These tones and colors will look great when paired with brushed copper accessories, old-fashioned photos, Persian rugs and vintage children’s toys like rocking horses, dolls and teddy bears.
Searches on Google have increased by 113% over the past 12 months for vintage nursery inspiration. The trend is timeless and can be easily adapted to your own personal taste.
