10 IDEAS TO DESIGN A BEAUTIFUL NURSERY USING PIECES FROM IKEA 


1.START WITH THE SINCLAIR CRIB

We are not the only ones, but many are big fans of the IKEA SNIGLAR crib. It is one of their best-selling products and for a good reason. We love the clean lines, simplicity, and warmth that it adds to the baby's room-all for just a little over 100 dollars.

2.GO WITH THE HEMNES DRESSER

Regardless of your design style-you can't go wrong with the IKEA HEMNES dresser. It is a spacious dresser that can add ample storage for baby's clothes and makes a good diapering station. It looks beautiful just as it is but can be easily hacked to fit your nursery design with a fresh coat of paint and new hardware.

3.HANG BURHULT SHELVES

For your baby's nursery to look beautiful, clutter should be minimal. To maximize the wall space, hang the lovely BURHULT shelves for storage and styling.

4.UPDATE THE NURSERY LIGHTING WITH THE SINNERLIG PENDANT LAMP

Lighting is an essential ingredient when decorating a nursery. Even when constrained by a budget, consider changing the nursery lighting to create an elevated ambiance. We love the SINNERLIG pendant lamp, a design-friendly light fixture for just a fraction of the cost.

5.ADD THE RÅSKOG CART

Designing a beautiful nursery is the goal which means keeping the space organized. The RÅSKOG cart is a cult favorite nursery organizer which fits in the tightest of corners and can be used to store everything from diapers to baby clothes and swaddles to pumping supplies.

6.HANG THE RÅMEBO MIRROR

Mirrors are a part of designing any room, even the nursery. Strategically hanging a mirror across from a window lets light bounce around the nursery, making the space look brighter. The large RÅMEBO mirror will also draw the eye up, creating the illusion of a taller ceiling.


7.CREATE BOOK STORAGE WITH BEKVÄM SPICE RACKS

A surprisingly clever book storage solution for the nursery involves using the BEKVÄM spice racks to create the baby's first library.

8.GROUND THE SPACE WITH THE SVÄRDBORG RUG

Looking for a neutral nursery rug? It doesn’t get much better than the SVÄRDBORG rug from both price and style standpoints.


9.BASKETS

There's one item you can never have too many of when decorating a nursery? Baskets, of course! Baskets are a great way to add nursery storage to get organized. IKEA has many beautiful baskets that also double as decorative accessories.


10.INCORPRATE THE KALLAX SHELF UNIT

Whether it's for storing books, toys, or even clothes- the KALLAX finds the balance between practical and pretty.
