I love a nursery that feels sweet without making every single thing in the room announce that it belongs in a nursery.

Here, the blush pink drapery brings in most of the color, while white shiplap, a classic spindle crib, creamy upholstery, soft blue accents, and warm brass keep everything feeling light and timeless.

There are plenty of pretty details, but the room still feels calm—which is especially nice considering the actual person living in it may have very different plans for calm.

Thoughtfully sourced similar furniture, lighting, textiles, and decor inspired by this space—all selected to help you get the look at home.

Drapery is one of the easiest places to use more color than you normally would.

The blush panels make a big impact here because there are so many windows, but I actually like that the color is concentrated in one place rather than repeated on every piece of furniture.

I’ve linked similar TWOPAGES Liz Linen Pleated Drapes to recreate the look, along with a similar Single Room Darkening Curtain Rod from Pottery Barn Teen.

For a nursery, I’d absolutely consider adding blackout lining behind decorative panels. You still get the soft linen look during the day, but you have the option to darken the room when you need it—which is considerably more important than whether the curtains look pretty at 2 p.m.

The pink is repeated in a few smaller places rather than everywhere.

I’ve linked similar finds here:

The striped ottoman is especially fun because it adds another pattern without requiring a big commitment. If the room changes later, an ottoman and blanket are considerably easier to swap than wallpaper or painted cabinetry.

A nursery works better when the larger furniture can stay for a while.

For the crib, I’ve linked a similar Piccolo Convertible Crib from Serena & Lily.

The white spindle design has enough detail to feel special against the shiplap, but it’s still simple enough that the room can change around it over time.

Across from it, I’ve linked a similar Bartlett 67-Inch Oak Double Dresser from Birch Lane.

I’d always rather use a substantial dresser with a changing pad on top than buy a dedicated changing table. Once diapers are behind you, you still have a useful piece of furniture instead of something that suddenly has no job.

Above the dresser, I’ve linked a similar Claritha Mirror. The soft brass finish adds warmth without introducing another strong color, and the rounded top is a nice contrast to all of the straight lines from the shiplap and windows.

For lighting and seating, I’ve linked:

The glider is one place where I’d prioritize comfort over almost everything else. You will spend far more time in that chair than you think, often at hours when you are considerably less interested in how beautifully styled the nursery looks.

Mixing pink and blue feels much more natural when neither one takes over the room.

I love the little bits of soft blue here because they keep the nursery from becoming entirely pink and white.

The blue hydrangea artwork above the crib and striped pillow on the glider introduce another color without changing the overall softness of the room. I’ve linked a similar Stripe Linen Pillow to recreate that look.

And rather than adding more pink accessories to the dresser, I’d keep that area fairly simple—a white lamp, flowers, a few books, and maybe one small keepsake.

The white shiplap is doing a lot of work too. With blush drapery on several windows, a striped ottoman, artwork, and a statement chandelier, those quiet white walls give everything somewhere to breathe.

That’s probably my favorite thing about this room.

It feels very much like a baby girl's nursery now, but the foundation isn't overly babyish. Eventually the crib can become a bed, the glider can move somewhere else, and a few textiles and accessories can change.

The room itself can keep growing right along with her.
