Designing a luxury baby nursery can be an exciting and rewarding experience for any new parent; it’s the perfect place to bond with your little one and create lasting memories together. Yet, with so many design options available, it can also be daunting for new parents – where does one begin? Relax – we have a few easy tips and ideas on how to design a luxury baby nursery to help you create the perfect nursery for your little one.

What Type of Nursery Space Do You Desire?

When designing a luxury baby nursery, the most important thing is to start with the basics and ask yourself what you want from the space and what type of atmosphere you want to create. Is the nursery just where the baby will sleep and be changed, or are you looking to create a multi-functional space with areas for playing and reading? An overall vision of the space you want to create is essential before making big decisions. Let’s dive into the six tips to design your dream nursery.

1. The Crib Is The Show Stopper!

One of the best places to start is crib shopping. I suggest you research and find one that suits your upcoming needs. Most parents prefer to have a convertible crib. The reason is the excellent dividends it pays later as your baby grows out of infancy and into a toddler. I also recommend you pay attention to the size that fits your space proportionally. As a good nursery layout is crucial to a successful design.

Designer Tip: Select some paint samples from your local home improvement store. Physically paint these samples on your wall and mull over them for a few days until you decide on a color for the entire room. Once you are set on a color or multiple colors, begin thinking about a theme. I find that themes help narrow down all the ideas you might have from when you first started designing.

2. Selecting A Changing Table & Dresser

Selecting a changing table and dresser is essential to designing a luxury baby nursery. When choosing, it is crucial to find one that suits your workflow in the nursery. Typically, some great combinations include the proximity of the crib to the changing table. Consider how you plan to move around your nursery and pick the most functional combination. The best thing about most changing tables today is they are primarily used for storage and have built-in dressers to quickly get everything you need.

To make your luxury baby nursery stand out, choose high-quality materials that are both durable and stylish. Look for a timeless design that will not go out of style, and consider investing in custom finishes to elevate the overall aesthetic of the nursery. Storage is vital, so choose a changing table and dresser with ample space to accommodate your baby’s essentials.

Also, invest in a high-quality changing pad that is comfortable for your baby and easy to clean. Finally, ensure that your changing table and dresser complement the other furniture and décor in the room to create a cohesive and luxurious look. By considering these factors, you can select a changing table and dresser that will be practical and add to the luxury and elegance of your baby’s nursery.

Proximate Juxtapositions to have in mind

• Crib near the changing table
• Crib next to the rocking chair
• Crib centered between the changing table or rocking chair.

Of course, these are some ideas to get your mind going. Ultimately, where the window is placed might help you finalize your crib placement. Consider thinking about the baby’s routine. Once familiar with that, you should move things around for comfort.

Designer Tip: corral some of your best textiles online or physical fabrics and assemble a digital mood board or a tangible one. One of my favorite things is creating a digital board to explore different color palettes. I would also consider wall coverings or treatments to bring depth to your room.

Feature wall treatments to consider

• Applied moldings
• Gallery wall
• Judges paneling
• Wainscoting
• Wall Paper

3. Add A Relaxing Nursery Rocker, Glider, or Recliner.

It’s a new parent’s reality: sometimes, your little one will not let you catch a wink. Those long nights of worry, exhaustion, and frustration are part of parenthood. However, it doesn’t have to be all bad. A good investment in a high-quality, durable nursery chair is one way to make those days more manageable.

Nursery rockers, gliders, and recliners are surefire ways to bring much-needed peace of mind to new and expecting parents. These engineered pieces of furniture offer feature to help soothe and relax the baby, like smooth rocking or swiveling motions. And let’s be honest, many of us grown-ups would doze off in one of these chairs too! Some models even have adjustable settings to customize the chair to your baby’s schedule and lifestyle.

And don’t let the thought of a price tag stop you from investing in a quality nursery chair. Starting a family can be expensive, but brands and models are available at all price points. You have to research and find the best option for your budget.

No matter your budget or nursery style, it’s worth investing in a chair that will make those hard nights easier. A good nursery rocker, glider, or recliner can help create a calm, comfortable environment for your baby while increasing your peace of mind. With so many options available, there are sure to be models that can fit your lifestyle and soothe your little one simultaneously. It might even help put you out in the end!

Designer Tip: You can assign fabric to your chair or pick some gorgeous patterns for your crib sheets. Remember to have fun and let the patterns, textures, and materials do all the talking.

Other design elements to Consider

• The ceiling and walls.
• Add a beautiful crib bumper to elevate your design.
• Create an activity play area for the baby.
• Add a thoughtful carousel crib mobile.

4. Focus On Quality Lighting and Drapery

One of the most important investments you should consider is window treatments and black-out drapery. Your baby will need complete darkness for nap time and a good night’s rest. Try not to skimp on the thickness and quality of these drapes. There are various pleat types to choose from to elevate your design. Do some research on fabric materials to align with your chosen theme. Next on the list is a functional lighting fixture, preferably a duel fan, and light. You will want to ensure your little one is comfortable at night.

Designer Tip: Arrange for the lights, lamps, and fans to be on a dimmer. Invest in a motorized function or remote control for easy access during your nightly routine when picking out drapes.

5. Incorporate Custom Furniture And Decorative Mementos

When creating the perfect luxury baby nursery, many parents-to-be dreams of the special touches that will make their child’s room especially memorable. Decorative mementos and custom furniture can be a memorable and timeless way to bring your family’s history and values into your child’s life.

The furniture in a baby’s room should be designed to meet the child’s individual needs. High-quality furniture built to last while being luxuriously comfortable and gorgeous will make a lasting impression. Passing down furniture from your family will create an even deeper connection between your family’s history and your baby’s future.

Plenty of attractive options are available for baby furniture, from traditional handmade pieces to modern designs crafted from various materials. You can find customized options that reflect cultural or family traditions or pieces that will capture your baby’s imagination as they grow and explore the world around them.

When you design a luxury nursery, don’t forget the decorative mementos – the vital accessory that can be the room’s centerpiece. Bright and unique pieces, such as mirrors, pictures, and wall hangings, will bring the room to life and encourage your baby to explore and appreciate the beauty in their environment.

It’s essential to think carefully when designing a luxury baby nursery. Investing in handmade, family heirloom furniture and decorative mementos creates a connection that will last throughout your child’s life and be remembered and cherished as they grow up. When creating the perfect nursery for your little one, don’t forget to consider the timeless, personalized touches that will make the room uniquely yours.

6. Design Creative Storage and Custom Closet Opportunities

Most home nurseries tend to lack storage. The reason is insufficient builder-grade closets that have been installed. To solve this problem, you can make an allowance for a custom closet or armoire large enough to house the baby’s clothing and accessories. If these items are too big, get creative and designate multiple functions for each furniture piece in the nursery.

Designing a luxury baby nursery is an exciting experience that can be tailored to your personal style and preferences. By following these tips and incorporating personal touches, you can create a beautiful and functional space that you and your baby will love.
