Now, Vanessa Brunner comes with the idea of How to set up Baby’s room with comfortable nursery that can make both mother and her baby feel comfortable. There’s a fine line when it comes to the design of a nursery. On one hand, you can play around with colors and furniture you might not be able to have in the rest of your home. But you also want it to have pieces that will grow with your child, and you want the room to be one you’ll enjoy, too (as odds are, soon-to-be parents will be spending quite a bit of time there).

This elegant and soothing nursery by designer Nicole Lanteri is an example of how to solve this conundrum. On her blog, On My Agenda, Nicole shows how choosing simple, basic furniture that will last beyond the baby years, and adding personality and color with inexpensive textiles and soft furnishings, creates a room both parent and child will love.

When designing a nursery, you want to choose a color scheme that will last for a good portion of your child’s life, but is also soft in tone and appropriate for a newborn. Infants can really only see in black, white and gray at first. Soft neutrals and pastels, rather than bright and abrasive colors, work well with the rate of an infant’s vision development. The soft gray of Silvery Moon from Benjamin Moore in this nursery is a perfect example.

A good armchair is vital element in a newborn’s room. Any mom-to-be knows the importance of a comfortable chair with good back support — and this becomes even more important when nursing your newborn. This designer had a chair the client already owned reupholstered, which is a great, inexpensive option. Make sure to put a lighting source nearby for late-night feedings and keep a side table on hand for bottles, burping towels, or whatever else you might need. The fabulous yellow pouf serves as a great ottoman for mom to rest her barking dogs.

Storage is key in a nursery — especially when it comes to your changing table. This chest of drawers turned changing table is great because it offers a ton of highly organized on-hand storage, but it also can stay in the room as a functional piece in the post-diaper stage. The combination of wall shelves and storage hampers work as great organizational tools too.
