Top nursery décor trends
With years of experience in design, Sian Cullingworth, portfolio director at Reed Exhibitions, tells us about the top nursery décor trends…
“Becoming a mother has been a completely life-changing experience and, in between all the nappy changes, feeds and sleeps, I’ve come to truly appreciate the soothing space of our nursery,” says new mom Sian Cullingworth. Having recently set up a nursery for her first baby, we asked Cullingworth which nursery décor trends for 2019 stood out for her and how she decorated her son’s room.
1. Letterboards
Sometimes you just need to spell it out and letterboards are a really fun way to express a message and lighten the room. They are also great for photo announcements.
2. Scandinavian design
The de-cluttered, clean lines of Scandinavian design and its signature natural wood is still a major trend in nurseries.
3. Master bedroom nooks
Parents who are pro co-sleeping are now decorating small corners of their master bedroom for their babies. This has brought in furniture that can transform from a small crib to a cot, depending on space and size.

4. Modern boho
The laid-back, bohemian aesthetic that’s taken over the fashion world has entered the baby’s room. It’s all about textiles and accents such as fringed tassels, a single hanging plant, handmade wall hangings and even hanging chairs.
5. Large-scale wall prints
This trend took the design industry by storm in 2018 and we are now seeing parents incorporating this into their nurseries. Whether it’s clouds, animals or florals – the bigger the better.
6. Velvet
This textile has made a comeback recently and we are seeing it in rocking chairs and scatters.
7. Modern farmhouse
This is a great design for gender-neutral nurseries. Here you can mix in the old with the new, such as childhood favourite soft toys and mom’s old rocking chair.
