Shabby Chic Decorating Ideas for Your Baby’s Room

Any time a family welcomes a new baby, the excitement is palpable. From telling family and friends the good news to choosing a name and picking out adorable baby clothes, there’s no other experience quite like it. And that’s why when it comes to the baby’s room many parents won’t settle for anything less than the best. They want the room to be special and to reflect the overwhelming love and joy they feel for their new little one.

Fortunately, the shabby chic décor trend that’s currently the darling of the interior design world has tons of options for new parents to choose from to give their baby the most gorgeous nursery. This décor style is a blend of a rustic, vintage vibe with just the right amount of modern elegance to bring a room together. Whether you’re in the market for shabby chic furniture, wall decor, or other pieces of accent decor this trend will have all your nursery ideas covered to give you a room you love.

When it comes to designing the nursery, we recommend starting with the basics: choose the colors you want to use, identify the furniture you’ll need, and make a list of any “must have” décor items. Once you have these elements down, the fun can begin—shopping! It will be so much easier to find pieces that match your specific nursery ideas if you have them laid out ahead of time. After all, when you’re awaiting the arrival of a new bundle of joy the last thing you’ll want to do is run back and forth to the store over and over again. Instead, stick to your guidelines and achieve nursery design success!

To help you get started (and give you a little shabby chic inspo!) we’ve gathered up a collection of few of our favorite shabby chic bedroom décor items that are perfect for a nursery.
