New Nursery Trends – Simple, Sophisticated and Modern


Have you noticed that more and more urban, professional and hip parents are having their children reflect their own personal taste and style? I wouldn’t go so far as to say that babies and children are becoming the latest accessories, but you have to admit that these days, we’re seeing little ones sporting less cutesy prints in favour of more sophisticated designs.


One needs only to look at the high-end wardrobe selections of Suri and Shiloh to think what stylish parents Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt must be, respectively.

Of course this trend of trickling sophisticated and modern design for adults down to children is also noticeable in recent baby nursery décor trends.


While pale blues, pinks, greens and yellows are still the most popular colour choices for nurseries amoungst parents and interior designers alike, gone are the busy wallpaper patterns, ruffles, frills, and mountains of stuffed animals. Baby crib toys are few, but high quality, intended to become keepsakes that will last throughout the baby’s adulthood. Plus, the demand for the convertible crib is growing, as are motifs and patterns with simple, clean lines.

Due to these new trends in nursery décor, the baby’s transition from infant to toddler to child becomes easier – with this new trend of sleek simplicity, and increasing popularity of convertible cribs, there is less need for drastic design changes to the nursery as the baby grows.


Who says that parents can’t be trendy and practical at the same time?
