Congratulations! You’re expecting a baby within the next several months! Preparing for your little one’s arrival is an exciting journey. The top nursery design trends to consider in 2024 will help you create a beautiful, functional space for your child. Let’s explore the most popular decor ideas for the new year.

Color

The color forecast for 2024 is a bit all over the place since both neutrals and bright colors will make an appearance. Colorists believe warm and cozy neutrals will regain popularity due to their ability to create a peaceful, soothing nursery environment. Pastel neutrals will also be trending throughout the year.

On the other hand, unexpected pops of bright colors, such as orange, yellow, and red, will play a major role in nursery design. Purple was a key color trend in 2023 and it seems like it will retain its popularity as we move into 2024. Since nature-based colors like blue, green, and brown provide soothing comfort for little ones, consider choosing a more neutral color palette with pops of bright hues as accent pieces throughout the nursery.

Lighting

Unique lighting fixtures are another top nursery design trend to consider in 2024. Say goodbye to fluorescent overhead lighting and floor lamps because customized pendants with fun designs will be the new must-have. Parents will be clamoring to add a fun lighting source to their child’s bedroom, whether it’s a fixture in a geometric shape, a cartoon pattern, or a personalized option.

Unique lighting sources add a touch of personality and whimsy to the room but don’t underestimate the importance of a high-quality ceiling pendant. Designers are leaning towards fixtures made from sustainable materials in 2024 due to their ability to adapt to almost any design scheme. Be sure to use soft, dimmable lightbulbs throughout your nursery to maintain a serene ambiance.

Furniture

Multi-purpose furniture will be a top trend in 2024 as designers continue to place an importance on sustainability and long-term purchases. Focus on selecting furniture pieces and decor that can grow with your little one instead of replacing everything in a few short months. Look for high-quality items you can repurpose down the line when you’re purchasing the anchor pieces of the nursery, such as the dresser or rocking chair.
