As a Posh Mama, you know you must have the same sense of style for your new baby. Your little one needs fashionable and modern clothes, style, and most importantly, a modern nursery. How do you do it?
First, realize that it's not as hard as you think it might be. You've got a great sense of style, so use your intuition, and your nursery will turn out beautifully. Modern nurseries are most characterized by their pure, simple, and sleek look. They tend to be geometric with not a lot of extra detail. When preparing to set up a modern nursery, you want to go minimalist, and get the basics, and only the basics. The pieces you purchase will do enough on their own to fill up the room so it is visually stunning.
Neutral Crib Bedding
Go Bold - Modern nurseries are not for you if you like the floral, paisley, or toile looks. Really, you need to think of one strong color, and one or two neutral colors. The neutral color works to help bring out the strong, whether it is a yellow, orange, or red, the neutral color should bring it out nicely. For help deciding color schemes, go to kuler.adobe.com and you will find a plethora of different color schemes that go together perfectly. Find your favorite and then let the quest begin!
Room Accents - Consider vinyl lettering, simple artwork, and an accent rug to give the room some 'pop' with your accent color. Artwork, like the bedding will typically consist of only 2 colors. You may decide to place two square pieces of modern artwork above the crib, or perhaps just one bold-colored cutout. Other mothers choose to spell the baby's name on the wall in vinyl lettering using a modern font. Vinyl lettering can be found by doing a simple internet search for 'vinyl lettering'. And finally, don't forget to choose and accent rug of a single color, to add some contrast to the wood or carpet flooring.
Crib and Changing table - Finding a crib for a modern nursery is one of the most exciting parts, aside from picking the color, of course. Modern Cribs tend to have very little detail, and one striking feature that draws your eye directly to it, with either a rounded or very square look. When you see a modern crib, you will know one. They tend to be white or black, not classic wooden colors. Modern cribs tend to be slightly pricier than most traditional styles, but the cost is well worth it for a crib that makes an amazing impression.
Crib Bedding - When shopping for bedding for your modern nursery, look for patterns that involve very clean shapes, or a single color with a few accents. Modern bedding tends to include a neutral color along with a very bold color that will complement the color scheme of the nursery. Usually shapes are squares, circles, or stripes that draw your eye directly to them.
Room Accents - Consider vinyl lettering, simple artwork, and an accent rug to give the room some 'pop' with your accent color. Artwork, like the bedding will typically consist of only 2 colors. You may decide to place two square pieces of modern artwork above the crib, or perhaps just one bold-colored cutout. Other mothers choose to spell the baby's name on the wall in vinyl lettering using a modern font. Vinyl lettering can be found by doing a simple internet search for 'vinyl lettering'. And finally, don't forget to choose and accent rug of a single color, to add some contrast to the wood or carpet flooring.
Nursing Chair - You will inevitably need to buy a chair to furnish your nursery, so you can sit comfortably when your baby wakes up and wants to nurse. Choose a comfortable chair; but to be comfortable it doesn't necessarily have to look comfortable. The chair that you purchase should look very square, or very circular, depending on the style of 'modern' you are going for. Pick a chair that is all one color so it's visible, but doesn't stand out as the focal point of the room. To blend well in a modern nursery, the chair should be leather, or canvas (fake leather is ok.) This way, it doesn't take away from the modern feel you've thus far created.
Lighting - Finally, Lighting. You have many options for lighting your nursery, whether you choose lamps, a light fixture, or wall sconces. When shopping for a modern nursery lamp, find one that has a black or glass base, and a very simple shade; white lamps tend to cheapen the look. If you're going with an overhead fixture, think basic squares or circles without a lot of extra detail. Sconces are possible as well, as long as they're backlit and include a striking color somewhere on the sconce.
Use your own individual sense of style, follow these quick hints and you're well on your way to creating a chic, modern haven for your new baby.
