Modern Nursery Furniture: Buying Baby Furniture

Preparing to welcome your new addition into the home? Complete their space with modern nursery furniture from Crate & Barrel Baby. Start by selecting the most essential piece of nursery furniture: the baby crib. A contemporary nursery crib not only gives your little one a safe place to lay their head, but also anchors the room's aesthetic. For new parents taking a longer-term approach, a crib that converts to a twin bed helps baby transition into a big-kid bedroom when the time comes. If you're looking to create a bedroom/nursery combo or save space in a smaller room, consider a mini crib or bedside bassinet instead. Once you've picked out the best nursery furniture for your newborn, it's time to add the finishing touches to the crib. Fitted sheets, crib skirts and baby blankets in solid colors enhance traditional baby furniture, while crib linens featuring fun patterns and designs—think stripes and polka dots —add extra whimsy. Don't forget nursery furniture must-haves for Mom and Dad as well. A nursery dresser helps organize all of baby's adorable outfits and accessories, while a comfy nursery rocking chair is a convenient place to lull baby to sleep. Complete the look with a nursery rug to give baby somewhere soft to roam once they start crawling.

Nursery Furniture Sets for Baby

Modern nursery furniture sets are a great option for new parents looking to simplify the design process. Comprising coordinated baby furniture items in the same style, nursery furniture sets make it easy to create a cohesive yet contemporary setup for your little one's room. Simply choose a nursery furniture collection, like Finn or Opie, then select the necessary pieces—usually consisting of a baby crib, nursery dresser and nursing rocking chair—and finish personalizing the room with themed baby bedding. Even better, many modern nursery furniture collections also feature coordinating kids' beds, so you can easily swap the crib without changing the room's aesthetic. If a posh eclectic look is more your style, consider combining pieces from different collections to create your own baby bedroom set.

Styling Baby Furniture with Nursery Themes

Have you been dreaming of a specific theme for baby's nursery? Keep that look in mind when choosing your baby's nursery furniture from Crate & Barrel Kids. If you've got visions of a sports-, space- or dinosaur-themed room, consider navy blue or grey baby furniture for your little boy's (or girl's) room. Then, accessorize with coordinating accents such as mobiles, bookends and wall lights. For a more delicate look, go with baby nursery furniture featuring a light pink hue. Not only does the blush tone give the area a warm feel, it also fits in nicely with sweet aesthetics such as a ballerina or English garden-inspired nursery. Prefer to keep things gender-neutral? Modern nursery furniture in white or natural wood finishes are easy to pair with a variety of themes, from a Scandi-inspired minimalist baby's room to a woodland scene. No matter how you style their space, let yourself have a little fun with the design process; before you know it, your tot will have outgrown their baby furniture and will be moving on to a big kids' bed.
