Though a baby’s nursery should most undoubtedly be childlike, there is no rule that states it needs to be precious. When the day comes for me to have my child, I’d love a space that is not just functional, but suits the type of the remainder of my home. In addition, I want the space to be a distance which can be grown into, with pieces that reveal that. Sorry people, no blue or pink to see! — Kelly out of Design Crush

Bright colors and intricate shapes are almost always engaging, even for the pickiest of eyes.

Whale Bookends – $150
Really like these whimsical whale bookends to arrange toys.

Eye-catching bright pops of color would look fab on an otherwise lean wall.

Break the mold — hanging this animal-silhouette-adorned dish towel onto the wall would be a fun learning tool.

This kind of adorable rattle that won’t break things if tossed throughout the room.

I’d spell out the baby’s name or a fun sentence with these industrial wire-framed letters — nothing overly precious in this space.

Really like this simple cross-section wooden swing, so it might be a blast to hang at the middle of the space or in a door!

Just a small bit modern, a bit retro. I adore that this cuckoo clock but I’d probably wait till the baby was about two to add it to the space. 😉

This would be the coziest blanket to throw over your stroller on chilly walks, maintaining the kiddo hot and stylish!

This quilt would be candy over the rear of a rocker, possibly to swaddle your child or ward off a glow of your own whilst cuddling.
