A well-designed nursery benefits from both form and function. After all, you and baby will be spending a lot of time here together! You want nursery decor that is both cute and practical. We think this modern stargazer space nursery, designed by SuzAnn Kletzien Design, strikes just the right balance between function and fun for your future stargazer.
Furniture with a purpose: Our favorite piece in the room is the patchwork dresser, it has style personality, and most importantly, provides a good amount storage for baby necessities. We’ve discovered a comparable alternative with even more storage space, offering the best bang for your buck.
The simple shape of the Oeuf crib belies the attention given to its design; it features a lower center of gravity and an unobstructed view of baby for extra safety. If you loved the Oeuf crib but want your dollar to go a long way, then we recommend the Delta Children Essex 4-in-or 1 crib or DaVinci Marley 3-in-1 Convertible Crib for an upscale look at accessible prices. Another feature we highly recommend in any crib choice is the ability to convert into a toddler bed which both collections offer.
The rocker, end table, and lamp combination in the corner is your go-to setup in any nursery layout, perfect for nighttime feedings. This particular rocker from Baxton Studio is a modern combination of the classical rocker and tufted chair elegance giving this nursery the perfect touch to a well-designed room.
Engaging accents: A great method for decorating any room is including a focal point to showcase the room’s main colors, then interspersing those colors throughout the design. The back wall achieves just that while being bold, but not overwhelming. Creating an accent wall by painting one wall a darker color and the rest neutral leaves the room with a coherent palette, though still with an open feel. To create this look, consider painting the backdrop wall in Sherwin Williams Naval or Behr Navy. For a “starry wall” effect, explore these polka dot vinyl decals from Amazon.
A fun collection of vintage prints completes this stargazer theme. Mix in your favorite color scheme and vintage prints, and this functional design is a great foundation for any nursery.
Looking for a fresh, unexpected color palette for your girl nursery? Then little Ivy’s gold and pink nursery will definitely inspire you to try incorporating lovely soft pinks and golden accents to your nursery.
The dreamy light pink walls of the room are the perfect backdrop and truly set the stage for the entire design. This subtle “breath of pink” tone (Muffin Mix by Behr) provides a simple, clean look with just the right amount of color. Set against the wall the peach and gold patterned tassels as well as the striped armchair really pop. While the golden dots on the wall give this room a chic charming vibe.
Mint is a fantastic color to pair with soft pink, introducing a cooler tone that brings balance and contrast. Note that the mint accents are few in number – the lamp, some wall decor, and the toy chest – but still make a big impact. Quality over quantity is a good rule of thumb when introducing a contrasting color to your decor.
White furniture, shelves, and baseboards pair nicely with the soft pink and mint tones in the room, keeping the overall look warm and bright at the same time. The Davinci Ashbury Crib is a perfect choice for this room with its sleigh design adding sophistication to the nursery. Small rooms call for multi purpose pieces of furniture, the white changing table dresser is a great complement to the crib while providing a place to change diapers and store baby’s precious little clothes. Try this similar changing table dresser combo from Storkcraft to complete the look!
Gold, mint, pink, and white might be the perfect color scheme for your little girl’s nursery. To copy this look, stick with soft, light shades of pink and white for your base colors and introduce the stronger complementing mint, gold, and dark pink shades by way of a few key accent pieces.
When expecting a little bundle of joy you start to visualize all the endless design and decor possibilities you could combine to create the perfect baby nursery. This becomes more of a challenge and quite frankly difficult to endure when you want to keep the sex of the baby a surprise until birth. This is what happened to crafty mom Amy over at Positively Splendid, when she found about the impending arrival of her baby.
The decision to keep the baby’s gender a surprise influenced the choice of a neutral nursery color scheme. The goal was to select colors that could easily accommodate both genders by incorporating accessories with either masculine or feminine touches to set the room’s tone for either sex.
We want to credit Amy for her dedicated work with this nursery, almost everything in it is handmade and created by the crafty mom. As much as we would all love to be hands-on with most of our little one’s nursery items, not everyone has the time or talent to do so. If you find yourself wanting to follow in Amy’s footsteps check out all her DIY tutorials for George’s nursery in her original post. Nevertheless, we bring you a list of products similar to those featured in the room for those who prefer ready-made options for decorating their child’s nursery.
Let’s take a look at all the wonderfully designed items featured in this nursery. We adore the Jenny Lind crib that was chosen for this baby room. This crib adds a timeless elegance to any baby boy or baby girl nursery, with a perfect 5-star review score you can see why Amy and many parents choose this crib time and time again. Moving on to the bedding, you can find this similarly inspired crib bedding set from the ShopBacati Etsy store.
Unique decorating elements define this nursery, with lanterns and pom-poms positioned above the crib to add a lively touch. These also serve as mobile-type decor for the baby to observe and enjoy while relaxing in the crib. A similar set can be found here.
Lastly, the refinished furniture featured in this nursery is just one DIY step away from achieving a similar look. As seen in many nurseries showcased on the blog, parents often turn to local online marketplaces to find “old dressers” that can be revamped to add a touch of vintage beauty and complete the overall aesthetic.
The traditional little girl’s nursery of yesteryears was decorated in every shade of pink with all the fancy and frill you could imagine.

The centerpiece of the nursery is the elegant oval-shaped white crib by Stokke. Positioned at the heart of the room, this stylish and unique crib effortlessly captures attention while ensuring easy access from any corner. What sets the Stokke crib apart is its ability to grow with the baby, expanding to accommodate the evolving needs and sizes of a growing child. It seamlessly combines aesthetics with practicality, making it a standout choice for both style and functionality in the nursery.
The walls in this room are covered with a unique, eye-catching petal pusher (gold) wallpaper adorned with the outline of gold flowers. This wallpaper allows the walls to feel light while still adding a metallic, fun flare to the room. Tying into the flowers on the wallpaper is the white modern safavieh pendant lamp that hangs over the crib and imitates the look and feel of a flower.
The back wall of the room has two white bookcases with drawers on either side of a window, offering a lighter, airy feel to the room. These bookcases are great for storage and organization. You can place easy to grab baskets where you can store burp cloths, bibs, and other baby essentials. Don’t forget to fill them with cute stuffed animals, lovely picture frames, and cute knickknacks. Between the two bookcases sits a bright pink day bed, adding a vibrant, chic feel to the room.

Another great feature of Zoe’s nursery is the storytelling area with the colorful glider. The Forbena White Floating Shelves add a great look to the walls adorned with a variety of children’s books, adding that joyful accent to the nursery. Lastly, we couldn’t forget the white curtains that act as closet doors fusing in the white, pink, and orange flowery theme showing off baby girl’s fashionable clothing! The back of the closet is painted a light, pastel pink, carrying the girly feel into every detail of the room!
