Modern nurseries are beyond popular today. While tradition is nice, many parents want to keep up with the times and gift their baby with a room that not only makes a stylish statement, but surrounds them with security and simplicity.
Consider some of these modern nursery decorating musts for your space to help ensure you get the nursery you’ve always dreamed about!
Having a place to stash away toys after playtime is an easy and effective way to get you closer to that modern look you crave.
When it comes to modern spaces, especially nurseries, think clean lines, minimal clutter, and lots of shelving with drawers and cabinets. Unlike past decades—where children would put their action figures and stuffed animals on display—the modern century is all about stashing away anything that might visually clutter a space.
Get The Look: Think of your child’s nursery as a blank canvas. Fun projects like refinishing an antique chest or dresser installing built-in shelves are great for stashing and organizing toys and other baby paraphernalia. Pick a few special items that are display worthy, like a teddy bear or rattle, and try to keep anything else that might clutter the room stashed out of sight in drawers, bins, or closets.

Get The Look:While you can stick with a very simple and minimalist color palette, many modern nurseries also use organic muslin in playful geometric prints, unisex patterns, and balanced neutral colors. Our personal favorite? A blend of jasmine, navy, mint, and cream!
