Nurseries have come a long way, baby. From the days of pink, blue or yellow walls and cartoon character furniture nurseries have been transformed into sophisticated rooms featuring high-end design. PLN has gathered all the latest trends and where to buy to take these styles home.
Buffalo check
The buffalo check trend isn’t going anywhere in 2019, but it has been upgraded to include more than the traditional red and black. From feature walls to sweet accents, buffalo check is a sweet addition to any nursery.
A statement wall with this wallpaper is a great way to stay trendy with a classic finish.
Choosing accessories with a popular print is a great way to stay on trend without a huge commitment. Plus, who doesn’t love storage in a nursery?
This blanket trio hits all the right notes by combining buffalo check, woodland creature, and geometric shapes.
These cute prints are a great way to do a feature wall that will grow with your baby.
