Getting ready to welcome your newborn at home? Or looking for ideas to redo your baby’s nursery? Take a look at these stylish images of nursery rooms so you can start the ‘little’ project on the right foot.
1. This nursery room colour scheme is soothing and inviting. The neutral scheme, punctuated by blues and pinks, an elegant chandelier and plenty of small, dainty elements, together make this nursery a carefully curated space.
2. The layering of grey, white and pink help conjure up a lively vibe in this nursery. The large flower prints on the wall and rug create a focal point, while the clean furniture pieces add sophistication.
Tip: Consider a gender-neutral nursery. Gone are the days when a girl could only have a pink room and a boy, blue. Choose wall colours like grey, tangerine, teal and yellow. Natural shades like wood, beige, brown and green work well, too. Remember, the more soft, neutral colours you choose, the more multicoloured accessories you can experiment with.

3. Against the light wooden flooring and crib, the playful detailing of the printed wallpaper, the white rug, the pink pouffe and the starry black wall stand out.
4. The multicoloured geometric wallpaper brings a sense of exuberance to the room. The nursery room furniture set here has a clean design – the crib and the sleek bed do not take up much space yet provide enough room for sleep and play. The vibrant rug with punches of aqua adds to the fun and fresh look.
Tip: Does your baby sleep in the same bedroom as you? Want to create a subtle partition between your space and the baby’s? Heavy-duty curtains hung around the perimeter of the crib can block sights and sounds coming from the rest of the room. Alternatively, use velcro and fasten a thin, sheer curtain on it, or use fabric screens that can be moved around in the room.

5. This dark grey nursery room paint is offset by the pink curtains and rug – the combination looks edgy and eye-catching.
Tip: Ensure that the distance between the slats of the crib is not more than 6 centimetres. A wider space increases the risk of an infant falling out from between the slats and of toddlers getting their heads stuck.
These are the must-haves for a nursery

6. This room is full of character – patterns, accessories and colours dominate here. Small baskets and open shelves help keep the space neat and clean.
Tip: Many crib mattresses are treated with flame-retardant chemicals known as PBDEs that can be dangerous when absorbed through the baby’s skin or inhaled. Look for labels that say the mattress is 100 per cent organic or natural cotton.

7. How dreamy and fun is this nursery room artwork? A large tree picture, along with the green hues on the wall, ensures the room has an outdoorsy vibe. Against the light green, the black furniture and patterns truly stand out.
8. An all-white room can seem a little intimidating but this space shows layering of textures and the use of reflective surfaces, which make the nursery feel warm and cosy, but still very clean.
