As a Utah newborn photographer, it’s always an honor to capture the most beautiful and thoughtful spaces that parents create with so much love. Your baby’s nursery is more than just a room—it’s a reflection of your love and anticipation for their arrival. To help you design a cozy and functional space, here are the top 10 must-haves for your baby’s nursery!

1. A Modern Crib

Look for cribs with sleek lines and timeless designs. Consider options like Babyletto Hudson, Newton Baby Crib, or Milo & Gabby Crib that blend well with modern nursery styles.

2. Changing Table or Dresser

Opt for a multi-functional dresser with a changing pad on top. The IKEA Hemnes dresser or Pottery Barn Kids Kendall Dresser provides plenty of storage and a clean design.

3. Soft, Neutral Bedding

Choose organic cotton crib sheets or linen crib skirts in muted tones like light gray, beige, or soft blush to maintain a calm and peaceful nursery. Brands like Pehr Designs offer both stylish and practical options.

4. Comfortable Rocking Chair or Glider

A comfortable chair is essential for late-night feedings and soothing your baby. Look for stylish options like the West Elm Andes Recliner or the Serena & Lily Spindle Rocking Chair for a blend of comfort and style.

5. Stylish Storage Baskets

Woven baskets are perfect for storing toys, books, and clothes while adding texture and charm to the room. Consider Rattan or Jute baskets for a natural, eco-friendly look.

6. A Statement Rug

Add warmth and personality with a soft, washable rug. Look for rugs with subtle patterns or natural materials like dash & albert or Lorena Canals, which are both stylish and practical.

7. Statement Wall Art

A piece of vintage-style artwork or minimalist prints can elevate the nursery’s aesthetic. Consider framed botanical prints or custom family portraits to add a personal touch.

8. A Soft Lighting Fixture

Install a stylish pendant light or soft-glow table lamp with adjustable brightness. Ceramic or woven lamps can add texture and warmth while still being functional for late-night feedings.

9. A Cozy Throw Blanket

A soft, neutral throw blanket draped over a chair or crib adds both warmth and style. Opt for natural fibers like wool or cotton to keep things cozy.

10. A Classic Book Nook

Build a small library with classic baby books in a cozy corner. You can use a sleek bookshelf like the Avery Low Bookrack from Pottery Barn Kids or West Elm Kids to keep books organized while maintaining a minimalist feel.
