When you’re designing a nursery, you’re not just decorating a room - you’re setting the stage for some of the most precious years of your child's life. In a few years’ time, you won’t just remember the wall colour or the cot you chose.
You’ll remember rocking them to sleep in the corner armchair, their giggles during story time, and the tiny details that made the room theirs.
This year’s nursery trends are all about creating spaces that are as rich in memories as they are in style. Here’s how to make your child’s nursery beautiful now - and even more meaningful as they grow.
Reading with your child isn’t just about books - it’s about connection.
This year, nurseries are embracing dedicated story corners: a cosy chair, a basket of favourite reads, and soft lighting for those before-bed moments. Add a blanket you’ll both snuggle under for years, and you’ve built the start of a daily ritual they’ll always remember.
Nurseries are becoming more personal than ever. We're weaving in details that mean something: a framed family photo, a handmade quilt, or a teddy that belonged to you when you were a child.
A wall that grows with your child is becoming a favourite feature in 2025. Start with baby photos and a few treasured mementos - maybe their hospital bracelet, first shoes or personalised height chart - and add to it over the years.
This not only keeps your nursery fresh but turns the space into a visual scrapbook you can both enjoy.
Earthy colours, natural materials, and gentle textures are on the rise for nurseries. From woven storage baskets to linen bedding, these elements create a sense of calm that’s perfect for those early months. Plus, they work beautifully as your child’s room evolves.
We’re seeing more parents choosing pieces that do more than one job - like toy storage that doubles as seating, or décor that doubles as a keepsake.
A personalised height chart is a perfect example: it’s wall art now, but in years to come, it’s the most treasured piece of family history you own.
Trends will come and go, but the memories you make in your child’s room will last forever. Choose pieces you love, make space for your shared moments, and let your nursery evolve with your family.
Because one day, you’ll look back and every corner of that room will tell a story.
