Real-Life Nurseries

Need a little inspiration? Design-savvy parents share their nursery decorating tips. Here are our top picks.

Noah's Rustic Retreat

Inspiration: The outdoors. "We live in a log house and wanted to keep the rustic feeling," says mom Lori Mercado.

Location: LaGrangeville, NY
Mom's favorite element: The tree. "I love the silhouette look. I just freehanded it and added little birds on the branches to give it that extra touch."

Decorating tips: "If freehand painting intimidates you," Lori says, "then find an image from a book or magazine and project it onto the wall." You can do this by renting a projector that hooks up to your laptop.

Ava's Block Party

Inspiration: Texture and geometry. "We wanted to use some of the same colors that are in our main living while a lso creating a nursery that would stimulate our baby's mind with different shapes," says mom Tasha Lewis.

Location: Terre Haute, IN

Mom's favorite element: "I like all the different textures and shapes from the painted walls, hanging lamps, and the fur rug."

Decorating tips: "Look at how the rest of your house is decorated," Lewis says. "Then see if you can incorporate that into a baby-friendly space."

Maya's Modern Room

Inspiration: Modernism. "My husband and I wanted to stray away from the traditional, idea of feminine room and keep it feeling up-to-date," says mom Kim Wardell.

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Mom's favorite element: The chandelier wall decal. "It's elegant, modern, and different from any other design I've seen," says Wardell.

Decorating tips: "It doesn't have to be expensive to be beautiful," Kim says. "Many o f the items in the room are made up of repurposed furniture or items we made. An old Philadelphia library desk is now used to hold Maya's stuffed animals, the changing table is an old TV stand, and her bookcase came from my husband's family."
