Simple Furniture Choices

For a modern look in your baby's room, choose furniture with simple lines. The crib, shelves and even the reading lamp are unadorned and play well with the ombre mountain range. The bold, graphic mural adds visual interest and color and can easily be changed as tastes evolve.

Try a Monochrome Look

The monochrome color scheme of this nursery makes this room as serene as it is simple. White works well for any gender (although it's a brave choice for potentially messy little ones!) and doesn't take a ton of design know-how to pull off. Keep everything in the same narrow color range and add life and color with greenery and art.

Go for Bold Colors

Modern definitely doesn't have to mean black and white and gray. This playful nursery gets a kick of color through its geometric wallpaper, art, pillows and rug and still remains quite modern. The deeply saturated hues all complement each other and create a stimulating and fun space.
