When you’re a parent, there’s a tendency to go into full-on nesting mode before the baby’s arrival. This means you’ll be thinking about redecorating your space and looking for the perfect setup for your little one. So, if you’re looking to spruce up the nursery before you bring home your new baby, we’ve gathered some stunning Instagram baby nursery designs that may inspire your new setup.

The grandmillenial room

Grandmillenial decor has taken off as one of the trendiest interior styles in the past few years. And while we often think of this grandparent style as reserved only for antique-loving family members, it can be a great decor choice for a baby nursery!

This nursery from @oliverjames_interiors on Instagram features grandmillenial decor in all its glory. Furniture skirts, vintage wallpaper designs, floral patterned curtains, and plenty of fabric details give this space an older, grandma-inspired look. The nursery palette is a simple pastel combination, reminiscent of cottagecore aesthetics as well, making it a versatile nursery design style.

The Japandi nursery

This Instagram nursery from @quaxbaby leans into the minimal Japandi aesthetic. Japandi styles usher in a new kind of minimalism that focuses on warmth and nature. As we can see in this nursery design, the stylist uses natural wood tones throughout the space with the organic nature of the crib and the versatile changing table. In addition, small details like the bamboo rug and the handmade pottery add a sense of subtlety to the space.

Cream-toned walls, warm woods, and darker flooring take this minimal aesthetic to a different level, heightening the Japandi feel. When going for this style of nursery, lean into natural and organic materials whenever you can, but also try to keep the decor minimal to create a sense of tranquility.

Biophilic room aesthetic

Biophilic design is all about natural materials, earthy color palettes, and ergonomic furniture. In this nursery by @taylorlhansen, we see all of these elements expressed throughout the space.

Light, natural woods and wicker details are shown in the crib, the hanging mobile, and the bassinet. In addition, a tall plant and sage green walls invite a natural sense of biophilia to the space. The ergonomic nursing chair and changing table pad also create a reconnection with nature and our natural rhythms. Montessori stacking cups placed on the shelf offer a functional piece of decor in this nursery.

Warm minimalist baby nursery decor

Minimalism is well known for being a popular nursery design style choice. The light and airy colors, minimal decor items, and overall clean and bright aesthetic draws in many first-time parents. However, minimalism has slowed down in popularity with the rise of new trends like maximalism or grandmillenial decor.

Still, minimalism is a great baby’s nursery idea, and we really love the warm and moody twist @juudithhome features on Instagram. This nursery showcases a darker monochromatic color palette. Warm chocolate brown paired with creams and beiges makes the space feel intimate and cozy. The decor is simple, with a single frame on the wall, a few toys throughout, and a canopy over the crib.

Maximalist nursery decor

Often we see nurseries with muted tones, earthy hues, and more minimal aesthetics. But what if you’re a maximalist lover? Maximalism is a trendy home design style that has catapulted itself into several rooms of the home, including the nursery!

This maximalist nursery by @mohrliving on Instagram highlights just how homeowners favoring the colorful and patterned aesthetic can implement those elements into a nursery design. A funky patterned wallpaper, mismatched rugs, fun wall mirrors, and a unique curved crib all work to create a vibrant and eclectic look to the space.

These baby nursery ideas are unique, and we love the creative spin the designers put into their spaces. Biophilic and Japandi design offer a natural feel while maximalism and grandmillenial decor scratch that eclectic itch. Whether you’re looking for something trendy or prefer a twist on an old design style for your nursery, we love what these designers are doing.

French country decor that will wow any room
French country is making a comeback. Here's how to make it work for you
Interior country-style kitchen

French country design is one of those classic styles that never goes out of trend. It has so much history and stories behind it, and it stays in favor because it's stylish, comfortable, and also uber luxurious. There's a reason we see French country design in so many high-end hotels and restaurants all over the world! There are so many ways to bring French country decor into 2023 without it feeling too "shabby chic," which has fallen out of favor in recent years. Here's how you can make this style work for you.

Muted tones
French country uses gorgeous fabrics with provincial designs, and those can be achieved in furniture fabrics, curtains, and even on the walls. Muted tones like beige, gray, blue, and sage green can be added to wallpaper, pillows, and when selecting chair fabric. When thinking about the walls, choose softer tones in ivory, beige, or pale yellow to complement the muted tones in the rest of the space. Another option for wallpaper or pillows is toile — a staple in French country design.
Distressed, painted furnishings
Another trademark of the French country style comes with distressing. You can accomplish this with a large distressed couch bought at a vintage store or one made to look vintage (which is a more cost-effective option). Larger pieces of furniture offer a dramatic effect in a living room or kitchen. We love this ivory nailhead chesterfield design from Overstock. If you're not entirely sold on a large piece to invest in, consider decor like lamps, trays, or a small table. Then, once you commit, you can add larger pieces to the room.
Wrought iron
Wrought iron is another trademark of French decor, and there are plenty of options to introduce them into a room. You can find kitchen chairs, bar stools, cabinets, coffee tables, and headboards. You can keep the color in its natural state or paint it with gold or darker colors. In traditional French country, the wrought iron would be curved or designed in an interesting way rather than straight lines more common in industrial design. An ideal use of wrought iron would be with kitchen chairs, where a layer of muted, soft fabric can be added for dramatic effect. You can complement this with soft wood cabinets, wood beams, and muted granite countertops in light ivory.

Mudroom ideas: 3 things not to forget when making this room a convenient workspace
Consider these ideas for a makeover to your mudroom/laundry room
Laundry room with multifunctional storage unit

We spend more time than we'd like to admit in our laundry room or mudroom. When we get through our pile of dirty clothes, we look, and there's another pile waiting in the wings. Regardless of room size, there are three things every mudroom should have: a place to fold clothes, a place to dry clothes, and ample storage. If you have a small mudroom or laundry closet, there are things you can do to achieve each of these; all you need is a little imagination to make the most out of the space you do have.
Folding space

Having a dedicated spot to fold clothes when they come out of the laundry isn't just a nice-to-have thing, it's a lifesaver if you're doing laundry for an entire family and need to separate clothes into piles by person. If you don't have the space for a countertop or standing table, check out this collapsible folding table that you can put in place when you need to fold and then collapse it back down against the wall when you're done. There are a lot of options for sizes, so if this one is too long, there are options for shorter ones available.
