Make sure your nursery is ready for its tiny new occupant. Had all of the basics covered since they were born? Now it’s time to add some of their growing personality. Keep reading for our simple steps to make your nursery practical and have it looking great.

Nursery Shelfie Styling

Shelfies are the latest trend taking over the homeware world. From living and dining rooms to bed and bathrooms, here are a few of our hacks for bringing the shelfie vibe in your nursery whatever your space looks like.

Less is definitely more: Stick to framing only your fave family pics and pairing with our cute wooden toys and color changing lights. Avoid things looking too regimented: use odd numbers of items and stagger pieces of different heights.

Use all levels: Cabinets and ledges that are higher up are the perfect places to store sentimental trinkets and photos away from your little one to prevent choking hazards. Bookcases and side tables are great for displaying their favorite plush toys and books. Take advantage of handles or hooks to hang clothes, storage baskets or nursery decorations for add extra points of interest.

Tummy Time & Tepee Setup

We know tummy time is important for your little one’s development. So making space for them to strengthen their neck muscles and help them get ready to roll over, crawl, stand (and eventually walk!) is essential. Whether their nursery has flooring or carpeting, you’ll want to protect their knees, tummy and head with one of our blanket, quilt or faux fur rug picks. Our snuggly, soft and aww-inducing bunny sit-up play cushion is the ultimate tummy-time must-have.

PSA: Our teepees are the perfect cozy den for you and your little one.
