Decorating a little one’s nursery and looking for some gorgeous ways to add character? A nursery nook is both a charming way to update a nursery, but it’s a great way for maximising space too.
Whether you have an empty alcove to fill or a dead corner which could do with something adding to it, a cozy nook area can be used for everything from extra closet space to a reading area. Prepare to be inspired with the following gorgeous nook ideas for a nursery.
15 Charming Nursery Nook Ideas To Try
1.Warm Accent Nook
Make a feature out of your nook and paint it a bold color to draw the eye in. This bold yellow colour is eye catching and brings gorgeous warmth to a nursery.
This nook is the perfect size for a crib, but you could create shelving or pull up a chair to create a cozy reading section instead.
2. Cozy Crib Nook
If your nook is the perfect size for a crib, it’s not only a great way to maximise your space, but it creates the coziest area for baby.
Instead of going for a bold color, why not add some wallpaper instead? Really make the most of the space by adding some shelving storage higher up with soft rattan baskets.
3. Cute Shelving
Nooks don’t have to be massive. This tiny vertical nook section makes shelf styling a pleasure.
Curate those shelves with aesthetic toys, rattan baskets to fill the space and beautiful teddies. We are absolutely loving the design of this nursery!
4. Aesthetic Shelves
A nook filled with shelves is always a good idea in a nursery. If you are a shelf styling fan, opt to display the most aesthetic toys and a book that can be changed over regularly to engage your little one.
If you have the space and it’s age relevant, prop up a little desk and chair next to it that can be used for reading books and play time.
5. Reading Nook
A reading nook is one of the top things that hits peoples wish lists when designing a babies nursery.
It’s one of the most effective ways to transform the corner of a room. Add some simple shelves and display a series of books.
6. Decor and Books
If you have more a nook area or dead alcove space, you have the opportunity to add shelving and more storage options without it actually eating into the rest of the room.
7. A Cozy Corner To Sit
Pull up a chair and make a gorgeous reading nook for you and your little one. It also makes for a serene and soothing nursing corner.
Add some shelving to the corner and fill with beautiful books and decor pieces.
8. Built In Seating
If you had a dead corner, maximise it with a cozy seating area, low down for your little ones to snuggle into.
You can maximise the storage options too by adding some storage underneath. Then add a cosy seating cushion, throws and little cushions to bring the area to life.
9. Closet Space
You can never have enough space for babies clothing, and sometimes a big bulky wardrobe can look out of place in a nursery.
If you’re completely renovating, this is a great opportunity during the build stage to work out where built in storage can go, particularly if new stud walls are being erected.
Add rails and different heights of shelves to vary interest.
10. Chest of Drawers & Decor
A chest of drawers brings instant character to a nursery, especially if you opt for a vintage piece. Top with vintage decor items for something that’s visually fitting with the nursery.
11. Built In Storage & Crib Area
How clever is this built in wall storage?
We love how the shelving beautifully frames the crib here. Don’t keep the decor symmetrical on either side, instead elevate with different items, books and baskets. Rattan baskets are always a winner when it comes to shelf styling as they completely fill up a space.
12. Nursing Chair
Use a corner to add a gorgeous nursing chair, after all, in those early days it needs to be a sanctuary for you and your little one.
Add shelving to display books and decor items.
13. Toy Nook
As little one gets older, you may want to update their nursery, and a toy nook is always a good idea!
This little unit is perfect for both displaying gorgeous items and for arranging their toys and books in an organised way.
14. Play Area
Use an alcove for shelving and a little play area. Add a rug under foot to create a soft space for your little ones to play, explore and read to their hearts content.
Paint a different color or use a gorgeous piece of wallpaper to really create a zone out of the space.
15. Bold & Colorful Nook
Nurseries should be fun! Bring colour and light to a cozy nook by incorporating different colors and decor through shelving, a gallery wall and a chair setup.
