We have baby fever at IMRE this summer. It’s no wonder – four new little ones (two girls, two boys) have recently joined the extended IMRE family and two more are on the way. As a result, talk around the lunchroom has quickly turned to feeding schedules, caring tips and nursery décor.
And we’re not the only ones talking babies these days. With more than 4 million babies born in the United States each year, lots of excited new moms and dads are talking, twittering, blogging and more about their family’s new additions and related topics. In fact mom bloggers are counted among some of the best and most passionate group of bloggers in the industry.
As we’re comparing baby tips and ideas, we thought we’d share with you some of the trends we’re seeing in the baby space as it relates to one of our other favorite topics – home décor. Following are five hot nursery décor trends we’re seeing in IMRE nurseries and beyond:
- Personalization – Personalization continues to be the rage. From names and monograms on walls to customized blankets and frames, new parents like to show off their little ones name as much as possible in the nursery. Check out two examples of this trend in our IMRE nursery collection here.
- Eco-Friendly Touches – From organic bedding to no/low VOC paint, more and more parents are opting to use eco-friendly options in their baby’s nursery. Many credit the desire to go “green” with wanting to provide a clean and healthy environment for their new baby. Check out some eco-friendly nursery options here.
- Multi-Functional Furniture – Furniture pieces that can perform double, even triple, duty, will grow as the baby grows – something that’s more important than ever given our tough economic climate. We’re seeing new parents opt for convertible cribs and combination furniture pieces, such as a dresser that doubles as a changing table when outfitted with a changing pad. Unlike traditional, often one and done products, pieces like these can serve a new purpose in the room after baby grows out of diapers.
- Decals – Nursery wall decals are a great and a quick way to decorate the baby’s room without making permanent marks on your walls. We’re seeing more and more options for cool wall decals, and more and more takers. Check out some of our favorite decals here.
- Updated Colors – Rich and royal hues are upstaging the traditional colors. According to a recent blog post on SHINE, some of this year’s favorite picks include: lime green, turquoise, coral, soft pewter, aubergine, and deep, peacock blue.
