Baby Rooms

Although I've posted on baby rooms before, two of my very dear friends are having babies this year and it has inspired my to do another one.  My friends have somewhat different home decor styles, but both are into a less cutesy nursery look.  Here are a few ideas that I love!


GO BOLD AND GIRLY!

Here are a few really girly looks!  I love the idea of a floral wallpaper and a pretty window valance here.  I especially love anything that can grow with the child and doesn't have to be changed out completely by the time they are 3 years old!  It's a great idea to invest in a standout dresser.  I love to look for unique ones in antique stores, flea markets, or even garage sales.  You can always paint it a fun color and add new drawer pulls to give it your own look.  Plus if it has good bones they can use it the rest of their lives whether it's in their room as they grow or in their very first apartment when they move out one day.  You can also use it for so many other things in different rooms of the house too.  It is a great piece to invest in.

THE STRIPE TREND

I love this stripe look; whether it's horizontally on the wall or even on the ceiling!

DON'T FORGET THE CEILING!

The ceiling is not to be neglected here!  And just think of how much your baby will be looking up at that ceiling.  I love the painted stripes and stars here.  They could both be gender neutral as well, which is a great thing to think about if you are waiting to find out or if you may use this room for another child later on. 

DON'T BE AFRAID TO GO A LITTLE RUSTIC!

The room above has more of a rustic earthy vibe with the textural wallpaper and more subdued colors.  Don't think you have to do that pink or blue color scheme!  If you've been reading my blog, you know how much I love wood paneled walls! I love this dark wood version mixed with lighter woods.  Throw in a funky modern lamp.  So much fun! 

OK, MAYBE YOU CAN GO A LITTLE CUTESY!

Now this room might just be my favorite.  I mean when else would you be able to paint clouds and birds on the wall!  I love these non-traditional colors again and the mix of mustard yellow and a more smoky navy blue.  Plus a pretty mirror on the wall to bring in another interesting and unexpected element.  

YOU CAN KEEP IT SIMPLE

This room is super minimalist, but there are a lot of different textures pulled in that keep it cozy.

 

I hope you've enjoyed these ideas and can pull inspiration for your own home!  Happy Monday y'all.
