Tranquil Modern Nursery Ideas

I knew that the Amenity Eco baby bedding set was the perfect inspiration piece for tranquil, modern nursery ideas when I found it online. I had been looking for an inspiration piece forever and I just loved the soft colours, especially the little, yellow duck (which I built the nursery's theme around).

I also loved it because it was neutral and would work with either a baby boy or girl which was a necessity since we didn't find out the baby's gender.

Wall Paint Color
We left the walls a light, yellow colour, nice and fresh.

The Perfect Nursery Furniture
We decided to go with the Aerial crib and matching dresser by Nurseryworks. I love the look of the natural wood along with the white.

My husband made the wooden changing pad box and it really looks great on the baby's dresser.

A special piece of furniture is the white rocking chair that was my mother's.

Nursery Decorations
The baby's blanket, the yellow duck pillow and wall art were all from Amenity Home. I just added a green and white fitted crib sheet that I bought from Dwell Studio.

There is a framed picture of my baby girl's tiny feet which was taken when Claire was just 5 days old.

Making the Nursery Curtains
I actually picked up some fabric at my local fabric store and made my own window treatments! I just sewed something simple and then added a bamboo blind from Bou Claire to darken the room for naps, and to bring out the finish of the walnut wood floor. The white shag rug came from Ikea, and really warmed up the space and tied everything together beautifully. It was a great deal and cost only $50!

Lighting
The ceiling light is a great shade that I picked up at Homesense.


Decorating the nursery and finding everything I needed to make it absolutely perfect wasn't easy, but I loved doing it. I love decorating, and I love the challenge of finding great things to make a room work.
