With friends and family members expecting new bundles of joy, I am inspired to share my tips for creating the ideal nursery. When we welcome our sweet, adorable crying and pooping machines into this world, the one thing we can prepare for is their nursery. Everything else, well, trial-and-error, maternal instincts, our mother’s advice and words of wisdom from popular authors are our best bet.

Even as an interior designer, I was asking friends and family about the absolute “must haves” vs those items that are just hype. And with my 18-month-old fully settled into his own “little man haven”, I can speak from personal experience with regard to creating a cute and functional space. Hopefully one that will transcend the infant stage and even live through…dare I say second child?
There are a few key furniture pieces that every nursery should have:
Create a focal wall. It’s typically the wall with the crib. Murals, tapestries, your child’s name are all things I’ve seen. Use your creativity. And don’t forget about the ceiling. Paint patterns, drape fabric, hang fun objects.
