How to Design a Nursery With Vintage Charm

Designing a nursery is a special and exciting time. One of the first steps is to identify a particular theme or aesthetic. Maybe you’re all in on the #cottagecore trend, or you want your nursery to have a luxe, elegant feel. In this post we’ll cover the allure of vintage charm and a timeless boho vibe.

Read on to find out how designing a nursery with a touch of vintage flair can create a warm and enchanting space for your little one while allowing for plenty of individual expression!

Classic Furniture Pieces

Consider investing in timeless furniture pieces that exude vintage charm, such as a vintage-inspired crib, an antique dresser, or a cozy rocking chair. These pieces not only add character to the room but also create an inviting atmosphere that’s still unique enough to exude your personal style.

With a production process that ensures no two pieces are exactly alike, our Forte Collection gives you that weathered, vintage feel. And its warm Gingerbread finish (even the name is cozy!) coordinates with a wide range of color palettes so you can build on the design with your own personal preferences.

Incorporate a Soft Pastel Palette

To create a sense of serenity, we recommend a soft pastel color palette or opting for classic neutrals. Soft hues like blush pink or powder blue (Little Boy Blu is one of our favorites!) can add a light pop of color and complement vintage elements while creating a calming environment for both you and your baby.

Add Vintage Inspired Decor

To complete the look of your vintage nursery, consider adding classic décor elements like framed vintage prints, classic wallpaper, lace or velvet curtains, and a beautiful chandelier or funky lamp. This is also a great way to safely incorporate heirloom pieces in your little one’s nursery. Whether it’s a quilt made by a family member or vintage toys passed down through generations, these items not only add sentimental value but also contribute to the overall vintage feel! (As always, blankets and quilts should only be for decoration and NOT for sleeping during the infant stage.)

Finally, to make your nursery truly unique to your family, consider framing family photos in vintage-inspired frames or adding other elements that are special to your family history!

Wishing you joy and warmth in creating your vintage-inspired nursery!
