Deciding on a nursery theme can be tough. Keep it simple by using chic natural elements that are both soothing and sure to stand the test of time.

1 | Picking PaintThe easiest place to start is with the walls. Choose a natural color, like a warm tan or cool, calm gray as a base to anchor your theme.

2 | Wool It OverRugs are a great opportunity to add texture to your nursery design. Be sure to choose a durable fabric, like organic wool, which is both hardy and easy to clean.

3 | Mood LightingInstall a dimmer switch to control your nursery lighting. It will help add ambiance and eliminate the eye-squint-inducing bright light when it comes to checking in on baby or during late night feedings.

4 | Playful DécorWhen you’re choosing toys for your tot, check out some wooden ones. Not only are they a cute, durable nod to the past, but they’re also eco-friendly and can help inspire your child’s imagination.

Modern Riff on a Timeless ClassicMade to look, feel, and function like the breast, Chicco NaturalFit® bottles are beautiful products, obsessively designed to make parenting in the twenty-first century more relaxing. From first latch to first solids, you can bring cold or frozen breast milk or baby food up to temperature with Chicco’s Digital Bottle Warmer without compromising precious nutrients. Plus keep cleanup under control with a NaturalFit® 3-in-1 Modular Sterilizer, which uses the power of steam to kill 99.9% of germs.

Any mom will tell you—multitasking is everything. Get more mileage out of nursery gear and baby goods by choosing items that can pull double duty.

1 | Switch Your SeatSure, you can get a traditional rocking chair for baby’s nursery, but the truth is, you won’t be using it for long. Opt for a rocking glider or a sleek chair that will look equally at home in your living room or den so you can move it there later.

2 | From Playdate to Date NightWith so many chic diaper bags out there these days, it won’t be hard to find one that can pass as a handbag for work or a night out. The multiple compartments will come in handy for makeup and tech devices.

3 | Change is GoodRather than opt for a dedicated changing table, consider using a padded topper that attaches to a low dresser. Once baby is out of diapers, you’ll have an extra surface to display photos, stuffed animals, and more.

4 | Be a ConvertFrom car seats to bathtubs to cribs and beyond, many baby items come in “convertible” versions that grow with baby from newborn to toddler. Multitasking at its finest!

Just because you had a baby doesn’t mean your entire home needs to be covered in ABCs and ducky prints. Add adult appeal to baby-friendly spaces with these décor tips from Chicco.

Baby Style, Redefined

1 | Guests GaloreWith that sweet new addition of yours, you’ll have more house guests than ever! A stylish leather storage bench or ottoman provides extra seating with a place to quickly stash away toys.

2 | Go with the ThrowWho says baby blankets have to be pastel pink or blue? Choose a netural shade like navy or cream, and toss it over the back of your sofa. Voilà! A throw blanket and baby blanket in one.

3 | Store with StyleForgo primary colored toy bins in favor of neutral wicker baskets or industrial-style metal containers. Stuffed animals will have a sleek new home to call their own.

4 | Rug ReduxWhen choosing a playroom rug, look beyond monkeys or butterflies. You’ll get more mileage out of a chic chevron or classic stripe, which can later be transferred to a “big kid” room.
