Where to Splurge When Decorating A Nursery

Preparing for a new Mini takes work- from creating the perfect maternity wardrobe to baby-proofing your home to taking tons of midday naps (because let’s face it, growing a human is exhausting!). But perhaps one of the most exciting steps in the whole journey is designing the nursery.

There are thousands of products, paint colors and themes to take into account and it can be overwhelming to decide on just a few. To make it a bit easier, we’ve rounded up our three places to splurge when finishing your Mini’s space.

Carousel Crib in Mint, $479

The Crib
Narrow down the cribs that fit perfectly with your style (mid-century, minimalistic, classic, bold and colorful) and those that can grow into toddler and twin beds. Whether you’re choosing the pretty piece or going the practical route, this is one place where you don’t need to feel guilty about splurging.

West Elm x PBK Graham Glider

The Glider
Aside from the crib, this is the one other item that will see the most use. You will spend hours here rocking, singing, feeding, reading and playing. Invest in a glider or rocker that not only fits aesthetically in your space, but is also durable and comfortable.

Headlands Round Pendant, $398

The Light Fixture
Choose a unique piece that baby can fixate on while lying in their crib and one that will stand the test of time as the room transitions into Big Kid territory. Don’t have a ceiling light fixture? You could invest in sconces or a statement mobile!
