If you are expecting a baby or you have a newborn whose room you’d like to embellish, the recently published “Nursery Decoration Trends Report: Everything you need to know to create the perfect nursery in 2022” is a great place to start.
Filled with ideas on themes, colors, and kids’ characters, it can kickstart your renovation if you wish to discover new ideas. Winnie the Pooh, Moana, Harry Potter, Star wars, and Peter Rabbit are just a few trending character themes but of course, you can ditch characters altogether and go for a wider theme that celebrates the beauty of the world around you.
1. Return to Innocence
Nature-inspired (or biophilic) design has been one of the hottest trends in interior design in recent years, according to Architectural Digest, with families choosing to bridge the gap between architecture and nature in spaces like their living rooms, bedrooms, and nurseries.
Current global events have led human beings to appreciate outdoor spaces more than ever, and scientists across the globe have published studies indicating the important role nature plays in human health.
For a nature-inspired nursery, elements like natural light, sustainable materials like bamboo, and nature-inspired wallpaper or murals and décor pieces should prevail.
2. Colors of the Season
Green, black, and neutral hues are the top three choices for nurseries, with the penchant for green and neutral colors closely tied into the biophilic design trends.
Also trending are pink and yellow, which are two ideal tones for those into vibrant, happy vibes. Black may seem like an odd choice but the key is to combine it with natural wood tones and materials like teak, rattan, and macrame.
Neutral and black tones also transition nicely when converting the nursery into a toddler’s room. If cost savings are on your mind, another big trend this year is the cot that converts into a bed. To boost safety when you do get rid of the sides of the crib, use bed guards to prevent your child from falling.
Fit the nursery with anchored furniture, window guards, and cord-free curtains or blinds to reduce the likelihood of mishaps when your baby transitions into toddlerhood. Avoid furniture pieces that are sharp or angular, opting for curved pieces if possible.
3. Trending Themes
In addition to the characters mentioned, there are a plethora of themes parents are embracing with zest. These include animals (elephants, dinosaurs, fish, dogs, and pandas are the top choices), decorative elements (like stars, bunting, flowers, and pompoms), and natural features (like stars, the sky, woodlands, rainbows, and the sun).
Enchanted forests and jungles are also trending, so if you have always loved this revered fairytale setting, why not embellish your baby’s room with a stunning mural featuring vividly-hued plants and wildlife?
It’s a fun time for parents wishing to design a baby’s bedroom, with so many cute themes trending. From Winnie the Pooh to jungle themes, there are, indeed, inspirations of all kinds.
Find that one that resonates with you and that reminds you of the things you loved as a child. Keep sustainability and transformative abilities in mind too, so as to avoid wastage and unnecessary costs.
