Even better, designing a nursery with a modern appeal is easy to do once you learn the basics. Follow our simple guidelines below and you'll create a modern nursery that will stand out above the rest!

Modern Crib Bedding is the Key!

The most important part to designing your modern nursery is the crib bedding. If you get a modern baby bedding set first, then the rest is easy. You might be wondering what constitutes as modern crib bedding, so here are some helpful tips.

Attributes of Modern Baby Bedding

• Baby bedding with retro colors like black and white, bright orange, olive green, hot pink or any other colors that really pop in the room. The typical soft pinks and light blues are a no-no when creating a modern d‚cor.
• Crib bedding designed with a pattern such as swirls, stripes, polka dots, squares or any pattern that makes you say "Cool!"
• Animal fur patterns like zebra or tiger stripes and leopard spots. These always include rich contrasting colors and make a definite modern statement in any room.

Benefits of Modern Baby Bedding

Believe it or not, adding a modern crib bedding set to your baby's nursery won't just make the room look amazing. There are actual benefits to going with this contemporary choice. Most modern baby bedding sets are gender neutral, making it possible for you to use this set again for another baby, not matter if it's a boy or girl. If you go with a patterned print like circles or squares in bright vivid colors you'll be choosing a crib bedding that will help to stimulate your baby's brain and help him or her start to discriminate between colors. You can use a patterned baby bedding set to teach your child shapes as well. Simply point at one of the circles and say, "Circle!" and your baby will begin learning about shapes early on. You'll also be creating a fun and unique nursery d‚cor that will look great through your child's toddler years as well.

The Next Step for Modern Nursery Design

Once you've chosen your modern crib bedding set then it's time to decorate the rest of the room. Choose one of the most subtle colors in your modern baby bedding set and use that color on the walls. Avoid painting the walls in a bright color because it will take away from the vividness of the modern baby bedding design. You could paint all of the walls one color, or use the subtle color on 3 walls and use another bright color on an accent wall to make the room even more unique. Then accessorize with lamps, a rug, pillows and artwork that match the colors of the crib bedding set, but aren't too wild that you create an overwhelming room d‚cor. Make the modern baby bedding set the focus of the room and use illusive accessories that just add hints of color to the rest of the nursery.

Final Touches

To complete your modern nursery it's important to adorn the windows with a simple shade, curtain or valance. Avoid window coverings with patterns that will take away from your gorgeous modern crib bedding set. Of course getting a modern nursery furniture set helps as well, but if you already have a set that's traditional or classic in style then adding modern baby bedding, plus modern room accessories and window shades will be enough to create the best modern nursery on the block!
