Choosing how to decorate a baby room can feel daunting at first, so start with the basics and build up from there. To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of the hottest interior trends – all of which can be easily incorporated into your baby’s room, but also work incredibly well as stand-alone features in any nursery.

Retro look

Long associated with village fairs, after experiencing a renaissance a few years ago, bunting is now well established as a cute, simple way to liven up a baby room. Now the shift has turned towards tepees, which are available in a plethora of funky patterns and colours. Not only do they jazz up any baby’s room, they also provide hours of entertainment for your little one as they older. In a similar way, more traditional, handcrafted furniture is making a come back, giving the room a timeless feel.

Neutral palette

If you’re unsure what colour you want to paint your walls or the curtain pattern you will opt for, make life easier for yourself by choosing furniture with a neutral palette. Not only will a neutral palette leave you with a multitude of options for the other design elements in your room, incorporating soft tones such as cream and light grey is an easy way to make a nursery classic and chic. Moreover, as trends have shifted towards a more gender-neutral approach, these soft tones are very in vogue.

Hand-woven baskets

Hand-woven bags came back in a big way in 2017 and it’s easy to incorporate this trend into a baby room. Whether you utilise them for toy storage, as a laundry hamper or a nappy basket, hand-woven baskets hide a multitude of messy sins as well as being an incredibly versatile addition to any nursery. Not only are hand-woven-baskets stylish and on-trend, they’re neutral, so will easily slot in with whatever colour scheme you end up opting for.

Splashes of colour

If you’ve decided to keep a neutral palette, what will help tie the room together is pops of colour. Think about investing in a bright rug – a rug is a must, whether your flooring is carpeted or hardwood. As well as providing much needed comfort, a rug will open up the room and adds personality to the space. Lively scatter cushions, which come in plenty of fun shapes and stimulating patterns will add a spark to the room, as will fun throws, that will keep you cosy during the inevitable long nights.
