This is a partnered post.
Having an Instagram-ready nursery has become a priority for modern parents, and some are willing to shell out as much as $10,000 to have their little one’s first room professionally decorated. While social media is one of the main reasons for this uptick in nursery spending, having a nursery that meshes with the home’s overall aesthetic has also become a priority among parents-to-be, with some willing to pay more for bespoke furniture or customized fabrics. A professional can certainly do a great job on your little one’s nursery, but if you’re on a budget, there are ways to make your baby’s room look great without breaking the bank. To create the room of your dreams, be inspired by the best inexpensive nursery trends for your bundle of joy.

Scandinavian style
Scandinavian or Nordic interior design continues to be a favorite among homeowners for its clean aesthetic and modern feel. Incorporate Scandi-style into your baby’s nursery by laying down wooden planks or vinyl wood planks on the floor, and paint the walls white. Have a wooden crib, and use white beddings and white crib bumpers once your child’s at the rolling stage, and consider choosing a breathable crib mesh liner to keep your child safe while they’re sleeping. For accessories, include a white-painted shelf to keep baby essentials, lay a neutral-colored or geometric-printed rug on the floor, and hang a black and white botanical print on the wall. As much as possible, stick to the white, black, and gray color scheme when adding decorative elements.
Farmhouse-inspired nursery
Farmhouse-style was a huge hit last year, and it will continue to be popular this year, as it’s a design trend that gives off a warm and cozy vibe. To create a modern farmhouse look, use natural wooden elements in the nursery, and add color with touches of deep green or navy blue. Include charming accessories such as a wooden rocking horse and vintage-style stuffed animals to decorate the nursery, as well as one potted plant to give the space a touch of nature. Some plants that are best for a baby nursery include the parlor palm, fiddle leaf fig tree, or a peace lily.
Yellow and gray
2021’s color of the year title goes to two shades – Illuminating Yellow, which is a warm and cheerful yellow, and Ultimate Gray, a midtone gray that works as a neutral. This year, it is likely that some modern nurseries will have a yellow and gray color scheme, as it these shades that signify optimism and hope. If you’re considering this nursery trend for your baby’s room, paint the room white, choose a white crib, and decorate with pale yellow and pale gray accessories so it’s not too overwhelming.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a beautiful nursery. Consider these nursery trends for your little one, and have fun decorating their first room.
