The most exciting thing about having a baby? Decorating the nursery! OK, we’re kidding, of course, but picking out nursery furniture, lighting and decorisfun when you know where to look. These are some of the cutest, freshest nursery ideas we can’t get enough of right now.

Desert Vibes

Thiscactus-print changing pad coveris sweet on its own, but thinking about it paired with this adorablepink metal changing tablemakes us swoon. What’s more Palm Springs than mint green and Millennial pink? Nothing! Except thiscactus hamper.

Citrus Hues

Oranges, yellows and creams are delicious colors for a nursery. Picturepastel yellow cradle sheets, grapefruit-huedswaddling blanketsand this smiling sunshine print by Sarah Walsh. The cherry on top? A pineapple night light!

Polka Dots

Not every nursery needs a theme per se, but tying everything together with a single element gives a space a polished, cohesive look. We love this round, fluffyfeather pendantdangling above a cushypolka-dot rugin gray and white. Play with scale too. Tiny pom-poms onsheer curtainsare a playful finishing touch.

Sleek ’n’ Modern

If you can already tell your baby (ahem, you) will have more refined tastes, might we suggest an intriguing modern take on the nursery? Thisclear cribis (ironically) the most eye-catching baby bed we’ve come across. It’s made from nontoxic, 100% recycled acrylic. We adore theseblack-and-white arrow-print sheetsinside it and a hugs-and-kisses mobile on top.

Geometry Lesson

For a little adventure, why not pair aclassic white crib set与一个incredibly colorful geometric rug? Sticking to clean lines and modern shapes throughout a space allows for big pops of color here and there to shake things up—like awall clockwith a funky ’80s vibe.

Texture Time

Rattan and jute are popping up more frequently in nursery designs, which is exciting because they offer tons of texture and potential. Imagining a newborn snuggling into this woven篮子on top of ahand-knotted jute and sisal rugwith thisstriped fabric阻碍in the corner sends our heart aflutter.

Gray Skies

Gray covers a lot of territory when it comes to baby stuff. It’s gender-neutral, soothing and elegant—not to mention the color of elephants. We can’t get enough of thiselephant wallpaperor this rocking chair (that, frankly, reminds us of a littleDumbo bassinet sheet). If you need to brighten up a gray nursery, we’d go for thismarquee cloud light.
