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.
