Walls and floors

  1. Picture-frame molding painted in one soft color.
  2. Limewash paint for a rich, cloudy finish.
  3. A wool or washable low-pile rug in a neutral tone.
  4. Wallpaper on one wall with a subtle pattern.
  5. A painted ceiling in a lighter shade of the wall color.

Furniture

  1. An upholstered glider in boucle or linen.
  2. A cane or rattan crib that meets current safety standards.
  3. A dresser that doubles as a changing station with a secured pad.
  4. A small ottoman to rest your feet during night feeds.
  5. Built-in shelving around a window seat.

Lighting

  1. A statement pendant placed away from the crib.
  2. A dimmable lamp for soft night feeds.
  3. Plug-in wall sconces with hidden cords.
  4. Blackout curtains on a ceiling-mounted rail for height.

Textiles and color

  1. Layered neutrals like cream, oat and stone.
  2. Soft sage or dusty blue for a calm accent.
  3. Linen curtains that pool slightly on the floor.
  4. A canopy over the reading chair, not the crib.
  5. Matching baskets in seagrass or cotton rope.

Styling details

  1. Framed botanical prints hung securely.
  2. A gallery of vintage children’s book covers.
  3. Brass or antique gold accents on hardware.
  4. A small reading nook with a floor cushion.
  5. Fresh flowers or faux stems on a high shelf, out of reach.
  6. A monogram or name sign fixed firmly to the wall.

Tip: Keep the crib bare: a firm mattress and fitted sheet only, with no bumpers, pillows or loose blankets. Mount furniture to the wall and keep cords well out of reach.

FAQ

It is safer to hang canopies over a reading chair, never directly above the crib.
