Every spring seems to bring a wave of new babies—and with it the fun involved in decorating the nursery, most importantly the lighting of course.
In contrast to recent years, many parents are choosing not to learn the gender of their child before it's born, making neutral decor the best option for welcoming the new arrival home. Clean lines like the crib spotted on Charleston Magazine, soothing colors as seen on Binti Home, and modern lighting all go a long way to create a space that will be perfect for a baby boy or a baby girl.
When it comes to designing a neutral nursery, look for soft textures and nature-inspired materials. This room from coco + kelley demonstrates how birch and ash can brighten the atmosphere, while this shelving unit on Adore Magazine shows a great use of burlap.
As for the lighting options, keep things fresh with for ceramics and woodgrains, and look for shapes with personality like this lamp on My Scandinavian Home. With this simple, contemporary decor approach, you won't have to redecorate until your little one leaves for college!
