Between night feeds and nappy changes, you’ll be spending as much time in the nursery as your little one, so don’t be afraid to find baby furniture that aligns with your own personal taste. Scandi-inspired interiors are still big news, and it’s not just you who will love the space – the minimalist, uncluttered nature of the style means it can help create a soothing feel which is just what a newborn needs. To achieve the look, embrace a simple yet sophisticated palette of neutral nursery colours like white, beige and caramel, then mix in tactile pieces such as timber and rattan.

The beauty of this style is that it is gender neutral, plus it will grow with your little one – a few baby room décor updates, such as swapping a change table for a play table or a baby play mat for a rug, are all that’s needed as your child gets older.

Time in nature has been shown to boost a child’s happiness and imagination so bring the outdoors in with a nursery inspired by our natural world. Flora, fauna and other environmental elements such as suns and rainbows are a sweet way to introduce your baby to the world around us.

The key to mastering this trend and ensuring its longevity is to keep the motifs subtle – opt for a floral sheet or pillow, throw a rainbow-print baby blanket casually over an armchair or perhaps adorn the walls with rattan stars or a cloud mirror.

Pair the entire look back with soft, muted pastels – pink and blue are always popular, but we also love gender-neutral nursery colours such as cream, grey and yellow. Then choose a simple white hue for the main items of furniture such as the baby bassinet and change table. This will create a space that’s full of character and will stimulate your child, yet never go out of style.

Cool Matcha has been named as a Key Color for A/W 24/25, signalling green as the latest ‘It’ shade in interiors. But more than just aesthetically pleasing, green is known to have a calming, relaxing effect – making it the perfect choice for a baby’s nursery.

Used in a light shade on the walls, it also provides an ideal backdrop for a room themed around animals and dinosaurs. Indulge your inner child with an elephant play mat, bunny rug or a woolly mammoth rocking horse.

Keep the fun going with dinosaur decals on the wall or a cute koala cot sheet. You can even continue the theme on the bookshelf with a mix of forever classics and new titles that are equally wild at heart. Our favourites? The Rainbow Fish, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, One Keen Koala and What Dinosaur Am I? Another theme that works well set against green is outer space. Rockets, moons and astronauts on everything from baby blankets and cot sheets to wall art will encourage your little one to shoot for the stars.
